Nvidia combats the global chip shortage by continuously manufacturing new chips for the market. Rumors have been spreading on the internet about the existence of a new Nvidia 3080 Ti graphics card.
Recent leaks now reveal some retailers are putting up these cards in preparation for product sales.
Nvidia is a technology company best known for its quality graphics cards competing against the popular AMD series. One of Nvidia's bestsellers is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, with its Ampere architecture, RT Cores, Tensor Cores, multiprocessors, and G6X memory. Gamers can run up to a 4k gaming experience with this GPU, making it a top-of-the-line product marketed for ultra-performance.
Tech Radar reported on the existence of Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, an upgraded GPU from the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080. More rumors circulate around the internet about its possible specs, bridging the performance gap between Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090.
Recent online leaks, however, might finally confirm its existence.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti Leak Photos for Available Stocks
According to Digital Trends, stocks for Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should be coming in some online retailers soon. The leak comes from some photos with the shipping labels attached to them.
