Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is here : Price, Release Date and More

The most anticipated graphics card Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is finally here. It has been officially announced by Nvidia at thier launch event. And as they mentioned, the graphics card will be released on 17th September.

Nvidia has brought its latest flagship graphics card, which is stated as to be the destroyer of RTX 2080 (according to leaks). This powerful piece of technology will be available at the price of $699. But according to the reports, the stocks of RTX 3080 will be extremely low until 2021.

As far as I have gathered the information, RTX 3080 has some specifications which are too good to be true. It will be coming along with Watch Dogs: Legion game completely free. And that’s not it, the purchase will also give you a free subscription to GeForce Now.

RTX 3080 : Release Date

Nvidia has officially made an announced that the RTX 3080 will be launched on September 17th. It is said that the RTX 3080 will be providing an unreal clock speed of 2.2 GHz and will be available up to 18Gbps of video memory.

According to the reports, AIB partners are on their way of clearing out stock, as they are under the preparation for Nvidia Ampere launch in Q3 2020. So their are chances that the upcoming most powerful RTX 3080 ti and RTX 3090 will be arriving soon.

RTX 3080 : Price

The RTX 3080 will be available for $699 which is the same price as RTX 2080 when it was launched. Thanks to Nvidia that they did not raised the price bar which was frightening the community of gamers. The price is still huge but at least they didn’t went even further with that.

In other words, RTX 3080 could have been a struggle to get if the stakes were higher that before. On the positive side, it is coming along with the free copy of the latest Watch Dogs: Legion, and a 1 year free subscription of GeForce Now.

RTX 3080 : Specification

Nvidia has officially relesed the complete specifications of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080. And the way it looks, its far beyond the previous product, the RTX 2080.

The official RTX 3080 specifications as follows :

• CUDA Cores : 8,704
• Boost Clock : 1.71GHz
• V-RAM : 10GB GDDR6X
• Memory Interface : 320-bit
• TDP : 320W
• Required power connectors :  2 x PCIe 8-pin

On the basis of that, you can tell yourself that the beast is about to be released. According to Nvidia, this graphics card will be twice as fast as the RTX 2080. Which is indeed a magnificent news for someone who is willing to have a hardcore 4K gaming experience. They might be reducing the VRAM from 11 GB to 10 GB, it will still be more powerful the the RTX 2080, they said.

Though, to provide these amazing results, RTX 3080 will be needing a huge amount of power supply. This graphics card has a 320W TDP, and a recommended power supply for this system is of 750W. But if you are willing to build a high end PC with the processor like Intel Core i9-10900K or Ryzen 9 3950X, then the absolute choice of power supply unit for you will be of at least 1000W of power.

To talk about the design, Nvidia has brought an all new shroud design for the RTX 3080. Unlike RTX 2080, this graphics card does not has dual fan on the front side, instead, it has one on the front and other on the back side.
