Some specs for Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 3080 graphics card have been leaked, courtesy of Twitter user @_rogame.
The RTX 3080 will apparently have a 2,100MHz core clock limit, 10GB of VRAM, and 4,750MHz memory clock, according to @_rogame. According to info obtained by ExtremeTech, the GDDR6X will be able to transfer between 19 to 21 Gb/s per pin compared to the GDDR6’s 14 to 16 Gb/s.
In contrast, the existing RTX 2080 Super has 8GB of GDDR6 video memory and a memory speed of 15.5 Gbps. The 2080 Super also has a base clock speed of 1,650 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1,815 MHz.
@_rogame also shared the PCI IDs for the RTX 3080 and a couple of its 3000-series Ampere-based brethren. The RTX 3080 and RTX 3080Ti have 0x2206 as their IDs, while the RTX 3090’s ID is 0x2204.
It’s possible that we’ll know what the RTX 3000 family is packing for sure in a couple of weeks, as Nvidia recently announced a special event for 1 September. In fact, Nvidia hasn’t even officially announced the RTX 3000 cards yet. Hopefully, that will change next month.
