The monstrous GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is Nvidia's 'new gaming flagship'

The months of rumors can finally end. Nvidia officially announced the long-awaited GeForce RTX 3080 Ti during its Computex keynote late Monday night, and this $1,200 graphics card looks like an utter beast. The $600 GeForce RTX 3070 Ti also made its debut with faster GDDR6X memory.

All eyes are on the RTX 3080 Ti, though. Nvidia dubbed it GeForce’s “new gaming flagship” as the $1,500 RTX 3090 is built for work and play alike, but the new GPU is a 3090 in all but name (and memory capacity). While Nvidia didn’t go into deep technical details during the keynote, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti’s specifications page shows it packing a whopping 10,240 CUDA cores—just a couple hundred less than the 3090’s 10,496 count, but massively more than the 8,704 found in the vanilla 3080. Expect this card to chew through games on par with the best, especially in games that support real-time ray tracing and Nvidia’s amazing DLSS feature.
