Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Ti: finally available for everyone soon?
Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Ti
It has not yet been officially announced by Nvidia, but the latest graphics card from the Californian semiconductor developer, the Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Ti, is supposed to be released soon. A few weeks ago we reported that industry insiders no longer expect a release in April that was initially assumed. Instead, the new map should appear in May. There is now a solid reference to this upcoming release.Recommended editorial content At this point you will find external content from [PLATTFORM].

Note appeared
On Facebook a user named "Lok LOK" posted a picture that shows a box with those new graphics cards. According to the sticker on the box, it is a version of the RTX 3080 Ti from MSI (a hardware manufacturer from Taiwan) with the full name "GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X 12G OC". This coincides with the presumed reduction from the original 20 to 12 GB VRAM. The appearance of this box underlines the assumption that the RTX 3080 Ti could appear in May. However: An official announcement from Nvidia is still pending.3080 Ti: Price and availability
In terms of price, it is assumed that the RTX 3080 Ti is between the top model RTX 3090 (RRP of around 1,550 euros) and the also very strong RTX 3080 (RRP of around 720 euros) should be. Around 1,000 euros are supposed to be due for the RTX 3080 Ti. At least if Nvidia manages to produce the graphics card in sufficient quantities. Due to the currently far-reaching delivery bottlenecks for semiconductors, this is unlikely to happen. Instead, similar bottlenecks and therefore ultimately strongly increased prices are expected as with all other new Nvidia graphics cards in recent months.Read also 0

KEY POINTSNvidia has not yet announced the heavily rumored GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, but apparently, the graphics card is real and existing. Several photos of the unreleased graphics card on its way to Los Angeles surfaced on Facebook recently. Meanwhile, Nvidia says that it wants to impose stricter cryptomining limiters on the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and the rest of the RTX 30 series.
The photos, showing shipping boxes showing MIS graphics cards, were uploaded online by Facebook user Lok LOK. The said shipment is reportedly headed to the U.S., specifically in Los Angeles. One of the boxes apparently contains the unreleased Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 12 G OC from MSI.
This seemingly supports earlier rumors that the graphics card is releasing sometime this May 2021. Interestingly, it seems that the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is not the only SKU heading to the U.S. Apparently, the flagship graphics card GeForce RTX 3090 is also on its way to the region. Aside from those, there are several other graphics cards included in the shipment.
This includes the outdated MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 8G OC and the GT 710 2GD3 LP. The current global chip shortage and the unprecedented demand for graphics cards triggered the GPU supply crunch. While these other two SKUs are not the latest products, this is better than nothing. The AMD Radeon RX 580 is regarded as one of the best mining GPUs, according to Tom's Hardware, so it makes sense given the current trend in cryptomining.
Speaking of cryptomining, it looks like Nvidia is going to integrate far stricter limits to its graphics cards. Recent reports claimed that the chipmaker wants to restrict how much its graphics cards could be used for mining online currencies like bitcoin. Rumors have it that the cryptomining limiters would be most likely built into the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti card.
This is not the first time that the industry hears news about introducing limiters to Nvidia's products. The company said almost the same thing in March 2021 and rolled out drivers for the current series of graphics cards to discourage people from hoarding graphics cards for mining.
