A new model of Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card with 12 GB of video memory will go on sale today. You will hardly find it on sale just like the old model.
Last fall the situation was a bit awkward for Nvidia GeForce RTX card owners when Far Cry 6 came out. This ultra HD textured game required more than 10GB of video memory and even the RTX 3080 card wasn’t ready for that.
There was a lot of shame, they said from Nvidia, announcing the new RTX 3080 model with 12 gigabytes.
Two gigabytes more than the previous one. Fortunately, not only the amount of video memory increased but also the number of CUDA cores (by 3%) and the memory bandwidth itself (by approximately 20%). In return, the card requires 30W more power.
The price of the card is not specified.
We know that there will be no Founder’s Edition model and that sales will start today.
