If the 3080 Ti has already started shipping to distribution centers, it means that the graphics card should be released soon. Most likely, this will happen in mid-May.
The new RTX 3080 Ti is expected to receive 10 CUDA cores and a 240 MHz boost clock. If these figures are correct, then the graphics card will be close in performance to the RTX 1665, but its price will be closer to the standard 3090.
Journalists point out that a video card can be even cheaper if it has a built-in mining limiter. Earlier, sources reported that NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will implement hardware and software protection against cryptocurrency mining.
