The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti listed in PCI ID database with a GA102 GPU

It has only been a few days since Manli, a board partner of NVIDIA, registered the RTX 3080 Ti with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in Russia. However, another hint of the card has been seen elsewhere, this time on the PCI ID repository. According to Videocardz, a person going by the name of T4CFantasy maintains the repository, who confirmed to the website that they had seen references to this SKU in some unnamed software.

Videocardz reports that T4CFantasy is of the belief that the name is '99% correct', and that the RTX 3080 Ti belongs to the ID 2205. The PCI ID list also states that NVIDIA has based the RTX 3080 Ti on the GA102, which should come as no surprise considering the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 use this GPU too. Rumour has it the RTX 3080 Ti will use a GA102-250 variant though, with the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 wedded to the GA102-200 and GA102-300, respectively.

The PCI ID repository does not confirm any other specifications of the RTX 3080 Ti. However, the card is believed to offer up to 10,496 CUDA cores, the same as the RTX 3090, and 20 GB of GDDR6X VRAM. The latter will have a memory bus of 320-bit and a clock speed of 19 Gbps, which should yield a bandwidth of 760 GB/s. The RTX 3080 Ti is also believed to have a 320 W TGP like the RTX 3080, but a 1,635 MHz boost clock, instead of the 1,710 MHz boost clock that the latter has.

The RTX 3080 Ti may arrive in January 2021. NVIDIA has not confirmed when it will announce any other RTX 30 series cards, but the company is also expected to announce at least the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060, too.
