NVIDIA preparing a mid-December product announcements: RTX 3070 Ti 16GB & RTX 3080 12GB

A new update from hongxing2020, who previously listed all upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 GPUs.

It appears that the date for new product launches has been set. A leaker confirms the upcoming schedule for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 and RTX 30 product launch. The company is finally set to announce and launch its RTX 2060 12GB model based on Turing architecture on December 7th . We have revealed the plans for this SKU exclusively more than 2 months ago . This model with double memory capacity (compared to its original 6GB memory) is set to compete in the mid-range segment against AMD Radeon RX 6600/6700 series.

Additionally, it is said that GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16GB and RTX 3080 12GB are both to be announced on December 17th with an on-shelf date planned for January 11th , so a month later. Both cards are to feature more memory than original models, the RTX 3070 Ti would get twice the memory of the existing model (8GB to 16GB), whereas the RTX 3080 would be getting 2GB more (10GB to 12GB). At this moment it is unclear what will happen to the existing RTX 3080 10GB model.

The RTX 3070 Ti is to feature GA104-401 GPU, which might have the same GPU configuration which is the full GA104 GPU with 6144 CUDA cores. The RTX 3080 12GB has been listed with GA102-220 which implies there might be some changes to the GPU configuration besides a wider memory bus of 384-bit (the original model has a 320-bit interface).

The rumor does not provide any further information on the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti model, which is now expected to be the first PCIe Gen5 compatible graphics card. Whether that applies only to the new power connector or both the interface and the power connector we are not sure yet.
