Asus confirms 3080 Ti graphics card with 20GB memory
- jakogut 6y agoThe RTX 3060 is supposed to launch with more memory (12 GB vs. 10 GB) than the RTX 3080? How does that make sense? Also, the RTX 3080 launching with less memory than my GTX 1080 Ti made little sense to me. For some niche uses, it's a downgrade. Glad to see the 3080 Ti correct this.
- sfshaw 6y agoThe high end 3000 series cards use a faster, more expensive, proprietary kind of memory from Micron. Even with a little less memory capacity, bandwidth is still probably higher. I doubt the 3060 will use this.
- ChuckNorris89 6y agoNvidia intentionally compromised the RTX 3080 with a quantity of memory that was not ideal for true 4k gaming in the near future in order to launch the new 20 gig model a bit later and have gamers justify the upgrade. People bought the hell out of it anyway, even with the "measly" 10 gigs so why launch the 20 gig from the start and sell people something once when you can sell them the same thing twice? It's genius. Mot hardware manufacturers do this and you can see it best in OnePlus devices where they are shipped with a compromise only to have that compromise addressed 6 months later with the new T update. It feels nearly like the HW business is going down the SaaS route basically but for hardware.
- _Wintermute 6y ago> the RTX 3080 launching with less memory than my GTX 1080 Ti made little sense to me. I saw this as a way to force people/businesses buying cards for deep-learning onto their hugely more expensive enterprise cards.
- PeterStuer 6y agoIt will all come down to pricing for the mass market of gamers
- tartrate 6y agoIt looks very similar to the 3090. Will it not be nerfed like the 3090? https://m.imgur.com/a/RH8vyz9 https://m.imgur.com/a/RH8vyz9
- m1gu3l 6y agoso will i actually be able to buy one of these?
- LordHog 6y agoExact same question I would have. These are not paper launches, but the very well smell like one in terms of the quantity out there.
