NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti to feature GA102-225 GPU, RTX 3070 Ti gets GA104-400?

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti Specs

We have been collecting data on the upcoming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti models from our sources. This is what we have learned so far.

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in April

NVIDIA has recently distributed the first embargo information to board partners in regard to GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. The latest information features a different GPU variant compared to previous leaks. The PG132 SKU 18 board design, also known as RTX 3080 Ti would feature GA102-225 GPU. This is a modification to previously rumored GA102-250. Our source claims that despite this change, the rumored 10240 CUDA core count has not been modified. At this moment it is unclear what changes does the GA102-225 brings over GA102-250. The embargoed information reiterates the 12GB GDDR6X memory claim. Detailed specs have not been shared yet. NVIDIA’s so-called ‘go to market kit’ will be distributed in early April, the documents reveal.

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti in May

We have also received information on GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. There has been no update on this SKU in the past 2 weeks, so we are sharing the latest information that we have. The AIB source has received initial specifications featuring GA104-400 GPU, indicating that the card would offer 6144 CUDA cores, just as many as RTX 3080 Mobile. What might be interesting is that the card would allegedly feature 8GB of GDDR6X memory. This would suggest that GA104 GPU has G6X memory controller support after all. The current launch schedule indicates that this model would launch by the end of May.

As mentioned before, both cards would feature Ethereum mining limiter, but since NVIDIA accidentally released a driver that renders this feature useless, we are not sure if NVIDIA wants to go forward with the original plan. The leaked developer driver without ETH limiter would not work with the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti anyway, but would certainly raise questions whether this limiter makes any sense in the first place.

We expect further updates on RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti in the coming weeks. The RTX 3080 Ti product announcement embargo is set to 1H April with the product release (on-shelf) date expected mid-April.
