Another launch by the NVidia so, let me start this blog by saying this is what you know about the new   RTX 3080Ti.

Specs And Pricing:

So we get the same flow through cooler as on the 3080 which is nice and compact at two slots for the founder’s edition with length and height also being identical this makes the 3080Ti. The most powerful two slot card out and the spec bump over the 3080 actually brings it a lots closer to RTX 3090 in fact versus 3090 you are only losing two of the total 82 total SM’s which means just 256 less CUDA cores with the biggest hit coming to memory capacity which is cut in half and also there is slightly lower memory clock as well over the RTX 3080 this means roughly a 17% bump in a CUDA core count an extra 2-gigabytes of VRAM and a wider memory bus width as well all in all we’re basically looking at a 2-slot RTX 3090 here with half the memory and some very minor handicapping to keep the 3090 sitting at the top of the charts.





Gaming Benchmarks:

So what we get do in terms of performance so with the specs pretty close to an RTX 3090 at least as far as gaming is concerned. We pretty much get that 3080Ti is pretty juiced up, so performance is positioned a lot closer the 3090 as opposed to the 3080 but it’s a smaller margin than a lot would expect especially since the 1080Ti and 2080Ti did provide pretty beefy performance gains over their plane 1080 and 2080 variants but here we just don’t see anywhere near as much dominance over the 3080. Part of that is because the 3080 is already blazingly quick and when you’re already pushing 300 Watts. You realistically can’t go much further and already MSRP‘s are almost are almost a useless metric today. A 500 price premium over a 3080 here for a six and the half performance boost does not let not look worth it in the slightest although just as with the 3090 performance margins do improve a little bit at 4k potentially due to its beefy memory bandwidth so I’d almost put the 3080Ti in the same bucket as the 6900xt.

A very expensive gaming GPU that in the normal world that is just not the price premium over an RTX 3080. I understand some of you just want the best of the best but how irresponsible are you willing to be for that extra fraction of performance. NVidia claimed that the 3080Ti is 1.5 times the performance of a 2080Ti and about 2x of the performance of a 1080Ti and although we are not quite there we are not far off here in death standing. There is no doubt here the 3080Ti is an absolute beast of a gaming GPU this thing is quick but let’s not try and pretend that most of you will actually be able to buy it for $1200 US and even against the 1080Ti. Where again the 2x performance is super impressive with that kind of performance you can basically run anything but in today’s market. I would also expect you to pay around 2x the price in shadow of the tomb raider at 4k we do pretty much see that 2x 1080Ti and 1.5x 2080Ti performance margin herewith the 3080Ti delivering consistent 100fps plus performance , so if you have a 4k 120hz TV with HDMI 2.1 it’s a really good fit. It is really depend on what can get it at compared to the 3080 is not far off at all most of the time, I saw it within the 3080Ti’s reach by about 7%at 1440p and around 9% or so at 4k so again there is no denying that this is a fast GPU and in the strange times likes this maybe there is no worthy comparison against the 3080. If you can’t buy either after all with more lockdown time more working from home and more cool new games coming out. The fact is the 3080Ti will sell like hotcakes. NVidia knows that gamers and miners will basically pay anything for 30 series card today and that’s why 3080 Ti exits. That’s why board’s partners and retailers asking a fortune for their stock as well they know it’ll sell in today’s market in the end the 3080Ti does not make much sense at all on paper versus the 3080. What’s ends up happening in the real world with prices in stock?

Production Workloads:

As for production workloads again very close to RTX 5090 here thanks to that increase in CUDA core count and memory bandwidth. I feel like the specs increase here is reflected a lot better here as opposed to gaming as for thermals as far as , I can see the Ti uses the same cooler as the vanilla 3080 and thermals only seem 2- 3 degrees warmer than the 3080 Fe under the same conditions although, I will note that the fan profile of the 3080Ti is a bit more aggressive close to 2000 RPM here at full load so the two slot cooler is fine under vaulting definitely is recommended though as always and make sure that you are putting this thing in a high airflow case. Clock speed also little bit more reserved here compared to the 3080 and 3090 with around 1800MHZ at full load there also doesn’t seem to be much headroom here for overclocking when it comes to the FE cooler but that’s some things that we’ll take a look at another blog that’s coming soon.

Power consumption wise, I saw the 3080Ti easily taking full advantage of its 350 watt’s power budget and I’d expect aftermarket cars to push that limit closer to 370 watt’s out of the box. So 750 watts power supplies are recommended here and a good rule of thumb.

Closing Thought's:

So in an ideal reviewer’s world where GPUS are at the MSRP and there’s plenty of stock and they’re not being bough to mine Ethereum. The 3080Ti is just not a card, I recommend for 7-10% performance over the RTX 3080 for a 70% increase in price it just sounds absolutely ludicrous and saying that out loud you know this is just not a good use of money, when it comes to buying a gamming GPU and honestly what, I really don’t like a thought of here is that the 3080Ti will be actually eating into the production of GPUS like the 3060Ti and the 3070 and 3080 which at least on paper are overwhelmingly great GPUS. But it’s not an ideal deal world which means that the rest is up to you. So that’s pretty much all, I have to say about the RTX 3080Ti.

But one specky that is matched against the RTX 3090 oddly enough is TDP 350 WATTS is what this thing will be sipping back at full load, so yeah definitely male sure you have a high airflow case to keep this running cool. So now in regards to price I’m almost numb to these MSRP values that were seeing at every GPU launch. The fact is sure if you can find an NVIDIA fee card at a retailer like micro center or best buy granted your region even sells them there in the first place $ 1200 US is what you will pay for a 3080TI board partner cards on the other hands expect to see these a lot closer to $1500 at minimum.
