NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti gets better specifications than expected

Twitter leaker Kopite claims NVIDIA has not only resurrected its GeForce RTX 3080 Ti but has also given the SKU better specifications. Rumors about this model have been flying around for some time now. It was presumed to have been cancelled because it was too similar to the GeForce RTX 3090, but it appears the arrival of AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series has changed NVIDIA's roadmap.

NVIDIA reportedly finalized the specifications of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and it's better than what was previously on the table. The report indicates the RTX 3080 Ti gets a GA102-250 GPU with 10496 CUDA cores, which is the same core count as the RTX 3090. The card is also rumored to have 20GB GDDR6X memory. That's a big change from what was previously rumored, earlier reports talked about a card with 9984 CUDA cores and 12GB GDDR6X memory. VideoCardz speculates the info is either very fresh or fabricated to weed out moles:

Before we go into detail, we must say that it was not possible for us to confirm the previous specs that Kopite had reported. Either his information is very fresh or NVIDIA is just fabricating the specs in order to find the source of their leaks. Due to the high credibility of the Kopite’s leaks in the past, we believe that they are worth sharing regardless of us being able to confirm them on time.

RTX 3080 Ti FE:
PG133-SKU15,
GA102-250-KD-A1,
20GB GD6X,
the same FP32 count as 3090, 10496FP32,
the same MEM speed and TGP as 3080,
no NVLINK.
