They didn't really mention it, but the 3080ti is basically 3090 performance but with 12GB instead of 24GB.
Also if you think $1200 is a lot, wait til you see what Asus/MSI/Gigabyte cards will cost. I'm sure some will top out at $2k.
Same place the MSRP 3080Ti's will be, completely nonexistent. These will be price hiked to the moon same as the 3090's, the price delta should be similar at either MSRP or Street Price.
we all knew it was coming but it still feels so bizarre to launch these cards while there is still so much demand for the current lineup
It's actually ti like the first syllable of titanium. Common mistake.
Yeah, going to enjoy my regular 3080 until this silicon shortage blows over. Those prices man...
Honestly, trying to assess value is hard considering people are so emotional because of the shortages and price hikes because of them.
For me, I'm trying to stick To MSRP in order to asses value for when the cards do come back in reliable stock/prices. As that likely will happen at least nearly a year out before RTX 4000 unless Nvidia moves up their time table because whatever AMD does with RX 7000/RDNA3.
Either way though, the 3080 Ti makes 0 sense at a 1200 MSRP.
The 3070 Ti entirely depends on how much of the 30% performance boost the 3080 has over the 3070/2080Ti comes from the GDDR6X, as the 3070 Ti only has 2 more SMs seemingly versus the 3070
makes sense they price high. Their selling cards for 500 and scalpers list on ebay for 1500
they want in on the profits
they want in on the profits
Ah, so still worth holding out till they become available normally by 2030.
I'm chilling with my 3080.. but if I copped the 3080ti I would sell my 3080 for the ti price, shamelessly.
If just for videogames will one be needing more than 12GB vram the next few years? (serious question)
Because if that extra vram on the 3090 is just going to be sitting there wasted, then the 3080ti is still $300 less that could be used in a great ssd or something.

Consoles limit PCs quite a bit for RAM, except for the one or two games that release Ultra High HD 8K texture packs.
10GB is fine for a while anyway.
I honestly thought about it, but for that small of a jump (looks like around 10% at 4K, even less at lower resolutions) I'm not sure it's worth the time/stress of even trying to get one if you already have a 3080.
1080Ti FE - $700
2080Ti FE - $1000
3080Ti FE - $1200
Can't wait for Hopper/Lovelace and a new alibi for their flagship MSRP markups, maybe blame it on MCM even.
This is just the MSRP. Just wait till all those EVGA SC/Kingpin SKU's hit the market with a $1500+ MSRP, that makes you getting the 3090 FE and an EKWB more valuable. LMAO
Oh, and we haven't even brought in the scalper bots/miners into this equation. If my memory serves me right, the 3080Ti rumors/leaks said that the FE SKU will NOT be LHR variants, that's for the board partners. Basically nVidia wants to take the easy way out clearing produced inventory ASAP at MSRP with no margin cuts (middlemen/distributors etc) for the next year or so till (chip shortages continue) and Lovelace is introduced in September 2022, and play the "we're the saviors of pc gaming!" card, simultaneously for good PR, at the expense of board partners.
Very clever, Huang. Lol

considering 3080s are selling for $2600....
I hate this, I hate all of this. I have a 3080 and I still hate this.
The debate regarding vram never ends.
itll be fine for a while i think. Im chilling with my 10gb.
I thought the 3080ti would have more than 12 gb.
Yea this is probably true. Not only will need to fight bots but then handle the transaction with someone else. Bleh.

T.I. is the weirdest of all to me. It's spelled "Ti", with a lowercase "i", if it was "Tee Eye" then it would be "TI".
