A number of customNvidia RTX 3080 Tigraphics cards have shown up online, suggesting the flagship Ampere GPU is on track for an imminent release.
As reported byVideocardz, a handful of retailers based in Australia and New Zealand have listed a number of aftermarket RTX 3080 Ti GPUs, including theMSIVentus and Gigabyte Gaming, Vision, and Eagle series graphics cards.
According to the listings, which come courtesy ofAquilatechnologyandComputersPerth, custom RTX 3080 Ti cards look set to retail for between $1,338 and $2,257.
The MSI RTX 3080 Ti Ventus, for example, has been listed at the former with a price of NZ$2,543 (around $1,820), while a Gigabyte Gaming OC model has a nice of NZ$3,153 NZD ($2,257).
Similarly, the latter is listing two custom RTX 3080 Ti cards from Gigabyte - the Eagle and Vision - with a price of $1,733 AUD (around $1,338).
Those are unlikely to be the only custom RTX 3080 Ti cards to launch, asVideoCardzgot its hands on images of the so-called MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X.
All of the third-party RTX 3080 Ti listings suggest that an official launch could be imminent. Aquilatech suggests the first shipment of RTX 3080 Ti cards will take place on May 13th - just 10 days from now, while ComputersPerth’s placeholder suggests the first stock will arrive in ‘late May’.
