NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti: more raw power to get the most out of next-gen games
NVIDIA has just announced the release of two new RTX 3000 Series graphics cards. The first is the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, leaked a few days ago, which is based on the Ampere architecture and offers, according to NVIDIA, a performance 1.5 times higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti.
The second is the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which is the spiritual successor to the RTX 2070 Super. This GPU also promises a 1.5x performance improvement and comes with 8GB of GDDR6X memory. Both models will be available this month globally for 1,199 and 599 dollars, respectively.

More power with the latest NVIDIA technologies

As we can see in the technical sheet, the new Ti models offer a substantial improvement in terms of power and performance. The most powerful model is the RTX 3080 Ti, which is identical to the RTX 3080 in terms of design and ports, but offers a substantial improvement in VRAM, going from 10 GB to 12 GB DDR6X.
The recommended power requirements are the same as the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, i.e. 750W, although the RTX 3080 has a somewhat higher TDP, 350 W compared to 320 W of its little sister. There is also a generous rise in CUDA cores that bring them dangerously close to those of the RTX 3090.

Something similar happens in the RTX 3070 Ti, which incorporates 6GB of DDR6X memory (compared to the DDR6 memory of the previous model), more CUDA cores, a somewhat higher clock frequency, a significantly higher bandwidth and a TDP that is 70W higher than its sister. All for a $ 100 difference.
Needless to say, both models are compatible with NVIDIA gaming technologies such as ray tracing, NVIDIA Reflex, and NVIDIA Broadcast. In the same way, and as intended, these graphics cards are LHR-stamped, which means that your hash rate has dropped to persuade cryptocurrency miners.
Versions and price of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti
The new one NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti can be purchased from June 3 for $ 1,199, while the RTX 3070 Ti It will be available June 10 for $ 599. There will be Founders Edition versions and the assemblers will also launch their own models.
