Quote:There’s no question that the RTX 30-series cards from Nvidia–or whatever they end up calling them–will be a nice boost over the RTX 20-series cards, but details about the card ahead of Nvidia’s probable August reveal are sparse. Now, though, the RTX 3080 has surfaced (in a now-removed post) on Userbenchmark, giving us a potential peek at the card’s specs.
Spotted by Twitter user Rogame, the potential 3080 has a device ID of “10DE 2206.” The listing shows the card with 10 GB of GDDR6X VRAM running at 4750 MHz across a 320-bit bus interface (For about 16 Gbps throughput). The GPU on the card sports a frequency up to 2.1 GHz, too.

Also on the Nvidia front, rumors on pricing are starting to leak, too. According to a user posting on ChipHell, we’re looking at prices approaching $2,000 US on the RTX 3090 card (via TechPowerUp). A user posted a screenshot purporting to be from Nvidia AIB partner Colorful‘s internal plans. The company will be releasing two RTX 3090 cards, the screenshot shows; an air-cooled Vulcan and a liquid-cooled Neptune. The documentation has the Neptune model listed at CNY (Chinese Yuan) 12,999 ($1875 US) and the Vulcan X OC for two prices–CNY 13,999 and CNY 12,000, or $2,000 and $1,730. It’s unclear which of those prices is real.
If accurate, though, it gives us an eye into what the potential price of the RTX 3090. The supposed -90 name would be a new product category for Nvidia. GeForce cards have typically come in 3-4 levels, typically -70 and -80 to start, with -60 and -50 following later. It’s possible that the RTX 3090 is meant to replace the “Titan” cards that have capped off each generation of Nvidia cards, to make it more clear where each card sits in relation to each other. If it is a Titan RTX replacement, though, $2,000 would be a steal. The current Titan RTX has never, to the best of my knowledge, retailed for south of $2,000.
This is all rumor, and we’ll probably know a lot more in a couple weeks when Nvidia is most likely going to reveal the RTX 30-series.
