During the past few hours the details on the graphics cards NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti e GeForce RTX 3070 Ti would have leaked thanks to Videocardz. The info suggests that both GPUs will be launched in the coming months and will be aimed at the top of the gaming segment. It has been talked about for a long time now, however now it seems that we are slowly approaching their official presentation: according to recent sources, NVIDIA and its partners will unveil their new technologies at different but very close times, respectively. April and May. The specs have also undergone a slight change, but they retain the basic configurations that were leaked a while ago.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12 GB FE (Founders Edition) graphics card is expected to feature PG132-SKU18 PCB design and GA102-225-KD-A1 graphics core. The GA102-225 GPU has also changed since we last saw them and will now feature 10240 CUDA cores for a total of 80 SM units. As for the memory, the card will be equipped with 12 GB GDDR6X. Unlike the 19,5Gbps speeds of the RTX 3090, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is said to maintain the same memory speeds as the RTX 3080 at 19 Gbps. The RTX 3080 Ti will use a 384-bit bus interface which equates to a total bandwidth of 912 GB / s. So while we see a reduction in the VRAM of 8 GB over previous specifications, the larger bus interface should provide more memory bandwidth. The TGP for the card is set to be the same as the RTX 3080 a 320 Watt. This is definitely needed to power the extra cores, then NVIDIA may need to optimize clocks.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, on the other hand, is expected to feature the GA104-400-A1 GPU. According to rumors, this GPU will use the PG141-SKU10 card which is different from the previous SKU on which the graphics card would have been based. The GPU is expected to deliver 6144 CUDA cores o 48 SM. These are 4% more CUDA cores than the GeForce RTX 3070 and about 30% less than the GeForce RTX 3080. 8GB of GDDR6X memory and what's important here is the fact that NVIDIA uses the higher quality GDDR6X chips instead of the standard GDDR6 modules. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will eventually come close to the RTX 3080 with a TGP of around 250 275-W considering the increased cores and newer memory modules. The card will retain a 256-bit bus interface and pin speed should be rated at 19Gbps like the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3080 Ti.
