Asus accidentally confirms GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 20 GB of memory

Nvidia is up selling simply because they were planning a response to AMD when their GPU drops. Nvidia saw that the 6800XT comes with 16GB of VRAM means that their upgrade SKU can come with 20GB. Nvidia already saw this coming so a simple doubling of VRAM is an easy answer. They also have plenty of chips not binned high enough for 3090 but too powerful for 3080 with a huge $800 price gap in between. It’s an easy fit to price it $899-1299 for the Ti variant.

I bet 3080 owners will feel shortchanged because many bought it for the 4K experience and 10GB is barely cutting it.
even with ti coming out I will buy a 3080 knowing I can sell it for the exact same price when I'm able to source a ti variant. I doubt any 3080 buyers feel short-changed considering you will be able to resell when ti comes out at a higher price. supply is so low and will remain that way due to crypto.
