GeForce RTX 3080 Ti price, release date (May 26th) surfaces as well as GPU photo (update)
Pricing of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti may have surfaced, according to sources involved the 'Titanium' model will carry an MSRP of roughly 1100 USD; which would be considerably more expensive than the standard RTX 3080 at 699 USD. The GeForce RTX 3090 has an MSRP of 1499 USD. The GPU would become available in May.
The new RTX 3080Ti graphics card is neutered version of the RTX 3090. The shader processors have been reduced from 10496 to 10240, and the graphics memory has become 384-bit wide 12GB GDDR6X particles, which is half of the RTX 3090.
Meanwhile over at VideoCardz the first die picture of GA102-225 silicon has been shown, pretty much looking similar to the GA102-300 SKU of the RTX 3090 card. As stated the GA102-225 would get 10240 shading cores instead of 10752 shading cores found inside GA102-300 of RTX 3090. 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus / 19 Gbps speeds means a bandwidth of 912 GB/s. The leak shows that the card has managed a 1365 MHz base and 1665 MHz boost frequency. It somehow WAS tested on ETH mining somehow. RTX 3080 Ti achieves an Ethereum hash rate of 118.9 MH/s, which means that we can forget to see this graphics card in stock, much less so at a reasonable price. NVIDIA was supposed to limit this graph for crypto mining, something that clearly would not be working:
A Taiwanese Nvidia partner mentioned that the RTX 3080 Ti will be released on May 26. The RTX 3070 Ti would follow soon there after;likely in the beginning of June, although there is no exact date. Below the preliminary specs.

The same ROP count and the same 384bit GDDR6X? That sounds interesting, but the price is still too high. This should have been <999USD card. I'd be willing to pay 1099 if this was TSMC's 7nm GPU with better perf to watt ratio, but not for Samsung's terrible 8nm node.
Anyway, this is all just theoretical because I'm absolutely sure I won't even see one anywhere.

I like the 3000 series (and still plan to get one if I can can ever find it), but that was my biggest beef with them - the power consumption. The 3080 has similar performance-per-watt as my GTX 1080, even though it was released 4 years later. I know the addition of Tensor cores is part of it, but it's still kind of a bummer that Nvidia has stagnated on the performance-per-watt front.

3000 series is so fast though!....such a shame the availability and prices.
