It would make some sense to launch a card that competes with 6900XT on both price and performance. Ti models were likely in the works all along, but their exact specifications probably hinged somewhat on what AMD brought to the table. A 3080Ti with 20GB memory could go for 1100-1200$ or so, or what do you think? If it could kick AMD's ass on RT, that alone would be a decent argument for enthusiasts, and when talking 1000$+ GPU's, we're most certainly in enthusiast territory. Still, it would put the 3090 in awkward territory.

If they released a 3080Ti at about 1100$ (1200$ for aftermarket editions) with good RT performance and an overall boost to performance similar to past Ti iterations, I'd gladly get one in my build next year. I think I paid around 1000$ for 980Ti back in the day, and I never regretted it.

I paid around £700ish to 800 for my 1080ti and it's done me great so far, and previously I was with a 980ti and that also did me well, but I dunno about a 1000+ 3080ti. I typically class cards that high as not having much if any shortcomings, but we know the 2000 series has, and I know Nvidia is currently trying to fastball AMD, but I just hope that the 3080ti doesn't fudge things up, because if it does it'll also make it as awkward against AMD as the 3090 is right now with it's price.

Ultimately I do want better RT performance, but 1000+ for a card just seems like a lot to me tbh.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
