The official launch could happen soon

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 3080 Ti launch might be happening soon as boxes have been spotted in shipping, clearly marked as the MSI RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X 12GB OC.

Although the RTX 3080 Ti has been rumored since November last year and rumored to be delayed quite a few times, Nvidia has yet to confirm the official launch date for the new Geforce 30 series SKU.

According to pictures of shipping boxes, spotted by Videocardz.com, it appears that the launch could be happening soon, and it is clearly marked as MSI RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X 12GB, which also ends the earlier rumors saying that it could come with 20GB or 16GB of VRAM.

So far, it appears that the RTX 3080 Ti could be based on GA102-225 GPU with 82 GPU clusters, or 10240 CUDA cores, just 256 CUDA cores less than RTX 3090. This is significantly higher than 8704 CUDA cores on the RTX 3080.

The RTX 3080 Ti should feature 12GB of GDDR6X 19Gbps memory on a 384-bit memory interface, leaving it with 864GB/s of maximum memory bandwidth.
