#NVIDIA GTX 680 TI REVIEW DRIVER#

Looking at generational improvements, the RTX 3080 Ti is potentially more than double the compute performance of the 2080 Ti, with nearly 50% more memory bandwidth. Power consumption is rated at 350W, the same as the 3090 and 30W more than the 3080, which could be a problem given the 3080 Ti Founders Edition uses the same cooler design as the 3080 rather than the triple-slot monstrosity that is the 3090 Founders Edition. Memory bandwidth shows the biggest gains, thanks to the addition of two memory channels, though clocks are slightly lower on the GPU side of things. In terms of theoretical performance, the RTX 3080 Ti lands 3вЂ“4% behind the RTX 3090 and 14вЂ“20% ahead of the RTX 3080. Here's a quick overview of the specifications for the RTX 3080 Ti, along with similar Nvidia GPUs: Meanwhile, the RTX 3090 pushes closer to $3,000 on eBay and costs more than $2,000 in the Newegg Shuffles we've tracked - and your odds of getting picked in the Shuffle are extremely low, based on our experience. In practice, the RTX 3080 already sells for close to $2,000 on eBay, and even in the Newegg Shuffle, it routinely goes for over $1,200. Officially, the RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition has a $1,199 price tag - $300 less than the 3090, but $500 more than the 3080.

The real question will be retail pricing and availability, which will undoubtedly be awful. That's not actually that big of a deal in most games, and performance should generally be quite similar between the two. Otherwise, the RTX 3080 Ti takes the same GA102 GPU found in the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3080, disables two more SMs compared to the 3090, and slashes the VRAM capacity in half compared to the 3090.

More games support ray tracing and DLSS, and driver improvements over the previous nine months have altered performance a bit since launch. As a result, the RTX 3080 Ti ends up looking a lot more like the RTX 2080 Ti than the GTX 1080 Ti: Fast but expensive.ДЇundamentally, nothing has changed with the Nvidia Ampere architecture. But anything even remotely competitive from our GPU benchmarks hierarchy, along with all the best graphics cards, are in a bad place right now with virtually no availability at retail and exorbitant prices on places like eBay. The GTX 1080 was a great card back in the day, and the GTX 1080 Ti upped the ante and basically redefined what we came to expect from a mid-cycle update. Halfway through the regular product cycle, release a higher-spec, higher-performance variant of the existing x80-series part with a price that makes for a compelling upgrade.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti story should be familiar ground.
