The new GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti cards will hit stores in early June 2021. Nvidia revealed the specs and pricing of the devices during the Computex 2021 conference.
At the Nvidia conference, which took place on June 1, 2021, we were shown new GPU models - GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti. Although their launch has been repeatedly delayed, we already have a clear picture of what awaits us in the near future. First, what many are most interested in, that is their confirmed technical specs.

It is not yet possible to say much about performance. We can roughly estimate the performance of RTX 3080 Ti to be almost comparable with RTX 3090 and 1.5x of the RTX 2080 Ti. The RTX 3070 Ti should obviously be more powerful than the regular model and 1.5x more powerful than the RTX 2070 Super. Perhaps it will even put up a fight against its main rival - Radeon RX.
