The new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti sits firmly between the flagship GeForce RTX 3090 and the GeForce RTX 3080, which have 24GB and 10GB of GDDR6X memory, respectively. NVIDIA pricing the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a concern, but the entire market is a Bizarro world as it is... so whatever.

If we're comparing launch prices, the new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has 18% more GPU cores and 20% more GDDR6X but costs $500 more. It's a bit insane, but we are looking at a more polished RTX 3080 with the RTX 3080 Ti having the additional GPU cores, more memory and wider memory bus resulting in more memory bandwidth makes the RTX 3080 Ti a 1440p and 4K gaming powerhouse.

GeForce RTX 3090 - $1499
GeForce RTX 3080 Ti - $1199
GeForce RTX 3080 - $699
GeForce RTX 3070 Ti - $599
GeForce RTX 3070 - $499
