NVIDIA Might Cancel GeForce RTX 3080 20GB and RTX 3070 16GB
There is a lot of noise with all NVIDIA lately, some based on rumors other based on the recent development with CTD and stock issues. A new one is that NVIDIA might cancel or at least delay GeForce RTX 3080 20GB and RTX 3070 16GB.
Earlier chatter indicated a release in December, a product series that NVIDIA would wait on to see how AMD's Big Navi would be doing. However, with all that is going on, RTX 3080 20GB and RTX 3070 16GB might be delayed and canceled. We know for a fact that the 20GB RTX 3080 is a real thing so that the actual reason might be more complicated, think high cost or yields related to GDDR6X graphics memory as well. NVIDIA can't produce enough 3080 cards even now, so why introduce a new model already, eh?
Nvidia would have already scrapped plans for an RTX 3070 Ti, which also has been a real thing. We do know that a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is is still in the pipeline, though. Likely with a release mid-November.

This launch can be redubbed as Ampwhere because I have no idea where these cards can be found.

Don't think I've ever felt the 'vibe' from such a poor launch like this before.
I mean, I've bought a lot of different high-end video cards over the years and read a lot of internet articles, but you can really feel the weight of it this time...

I wonder if this simply is down to the 8nm node process.
I can only assume 1 of 2 things - either that the professional industry is taking every available ampere gpu (though these are supposedly available to purchasers from mid-Dec?), or that the node process is continuing to generate poor yields

This means super cards are far away and they have to fight 16gb amd cards with their 10 and 8gb non excisting cards, not good.

I reckon the real reason is that they will be doing the 3070s and 3080s on TSMC 7nm next year.
