GeForce RTX 3080 Ti и GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

On May 31, 2021, the company NVIDIA introduced two graphics processor in the GeForce RTX family - GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, which will soon appear to sale in the company's partners. The game flagship GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be available worldwide from June 3, 2021 at a price of 1199, and US dollars the RTX 3070 Ti will appear on the market in June 2021 at a price of $599. USA

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

According to the company, based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, the RTX 3080 Ti GPU has such capabilities as ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS artificial intelligence performance optimization technologies, NVIDIA Reflex system latency reduction technologies, NVIDIA Broadcast streaming functions for the most popular content creators and additional memory.

In many DirectX and Vulkan games with ray tracing and rasterization GeForce the RTX 3080 Ti will become a good game base and provide less latency for quick response in games.

For gamers still using the GTX 1080 Ti graphics processor, the RTX 3080 Ti will be twice as fast in traditional rasterization and faster when turning on ray tracing and other gaming features.

GeForce RTX 3070 Ti provides by 1.5 times big performance in comparison with GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER twice more frames per second in comparison with GeForce GTX 1070 Ti of 2017.

Thanks to NVIDIA Studio and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, RTX graphics processors accelerate the photo processing application (Adobe Photoshop), the video editing application (Adobe Premiere Pro), the video streaming application (OBS) and all the main 3D rendering applications. Already more than 70 content creation applications are accelerated on NVIDIA RTX graphics processors.

NVIDIA DLSS technology, which runs on special tensor cores to accelerate AI in GPU GeForce RTX, optimizes frame rates, creating beautiful clear game images, and gives gamers a margin of performance to optimize ray tracing and resolution settings.

DLSS technology has rapidly spread, and the number of games continues to grow thanks to support in the Unreal Engine and Unity Engine game engines. The star line of game franchises using DLSS to bring graphics to the next level includes Battlefield, Call of Duty, Cyberpunk, Fortnite, Minecraft, Tomb Raider and many others.

NVIDIA Reflex reduces system latency and makes games more responsive. As of May 2021, Reflex is supported by 12 competitive shooters, including Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite, Overwatch, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant. And she will soon appear in Escape from Tarkov and Crossfire.

NVIDIA Broadcast is a set of audio and video enhancements by AI, including a virtual background, motion capture, and noise removal that users can apply to chat, Skype, and video conferencing.

GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will be available from June 3, 2021, and RTX 3070 Ti from June 10, 2021. Both graphics processors will be available in video cards, including models with factory frequency and factory speed, from various manufacturers ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Gigabyte, Inno3D, MSI, Palit, Zotac and other regional suppliers.

Prices for GeForce RTX 3080 Ti in Russia will start from 116,900 rubles, in Ukraine - from 43,500 hryvnias, in Kazakhstan - from 679,900 tenge.

Prices for GeForce RTX 3070 Ti start from 57,900 rubles, in Ukraine - from 21,590 hryvnia, in Kazakhstan - from 336900 tenge.

Limited edition NVIDIA Founders Edition graphics cards will also go on sale. Video cards based on the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be available separately and as part of gaming systems from various system manufacturers and assemblers around the world.

Limiting Mining Opportunities to Combat Video Card Shortages

In May 2021, Nvidia began to limit the ability to extract cryptocurrencies in its video cards in the hope of overcoming the shortage of graphic accelerators.

Until the end of May 2021, updated graphics cards GeForce RTX of the 30th series (RTX 3080, 3070 and 3060 Ti) with a hardware mining limiter will be on sale, which significantly reduces the production efficiency of the popular. cryptocurrencies Ethereum

Such products with a significantly reduced hashing rate will be labeled Lite Hash Rate (LHR). It is noted that the flagship video card GeForce RTX 3090 is not equipped with a mining limiter. With its level of energy consumption, as well as with its current value in stores, it is unprofitable to extract cryptocurrency on it.

Nvidia limits the mining capabilities of video cards to overcome device shortages

According to The Verge on May 18, 2021, many gamers have been trying to get the latest video cards for several months, but not everyone can do this due to a global shortage of graphics processors, caused including actions by those who want to extract bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. Nvidia in May 2021 emphasized that it continues to follow its policy of "preserving game video cards in the hands of gamers."

Earlier in 2021, Nvidia had already begun to take steps to limit mining in its video adapters. So, in February, the company halved the hashreat of the desktop video card GeForce RTX 3060 in order to orient the model to the needs of gamers. However, enthusiasts were quickly able to circumvent the restriction using the experimental Nvidia driver. The company confirmed the presence of the bug and removed the software from its website.

Earlier in 2021, Nvidia released specialized solutions for mining Ethereum cryptocurrency. The series called Crypto Mining Processor (CMP) does not include video cards in the classical sense, the products are not equipped with video outputs.^[1]

RTX 3060 GeForce View

On January 12, 2021 Nvidia announced availability of architecture of NVIDIA Ampere to millions of PC gamers with an exit graphic protsessoraGeForce RTX 3060.

Thanks to the performance architecture and the second generation of NVIDIA RTX technology, the RTX 3060 graphics processor provides excellent hardware capabilities for accelerating ray tracing, support for NVIDIA DLSS and other GeForce technologies.

Recommended retail prices:

• Russia - from 32,990 rubles,
• Ukraine - from 12 990 hryvnia.
