NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 30 Series 12GB GDDR6X
The Ampere-based RTX 3080 Ti delivers 18.7 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 12GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, making it a strong 1440p and ray tracing performer. Its compact 285mm, 2-slot Founders Edition design houses a 1665MHz boost clock and a 16-pin power connector, balancing high bandwidth with a relatively restrained 350W TDP. This card is best for 1440p gamers who want high frame rates with ray tracing enabled and can accept its limited 12GB VRAM for AI workloads.
