Sources indicate that NVIDIA will begin sampling GeForce RTX "Ampere" cards by the end of August, potentially in less than a month. This strongly indicates hard launch availability of cards like the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti as early as late September or October. We still don't know about the timeframe for AMD's competing RDNA2 Big Navi part, however.

Hope it's driver can compete with ps5 RDNA2.
I'm so tired of these so-called "verified unknown sources" aka FAKE NEWS that the blogs that support and write article after article on these claims are as worst as the FAKE NEWS!
Just a few weeks ago, the 3080ti was only 15-25% faster than the 2080ti.
A new report from the AMD camp , right after that embarrassing NVIDIA performance boost, the next AMD GPU SUPPOSE to be be 50% faster than the 2080ti.
NOW, WE GOT THIS BS ARTICLE, that the 3080ti will be even faster than first reported.
I guess when another AMD gpu article surface up after this one, the AMD gpu will be 75% faster than 2080ti, huh?!
Always the same old way of thinking, use more power to increase slightly performance, but with more increase in cost, heat, size and noise. I hope one day soon, someone will come up with something new and refreshing, than an old thinking mentality of only with more power can we achieve our goals.
