Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti Shipment Spotted During Transit! IT’S REAL!!

[Gav]

Let’s get started with Nvidia. It’s been a while since we’ve heard about a new GPU from the green team. The RTX 3060 was the last one and… well we still got a GPU shortage. That didn’t stop us from hearing rumors of GPUs.

We were still hearing whistles of RTX 3050’s and 3050 ti’s, and also about the higher-end RTX 3070 ti and 3080 ti. Well, one of them just made an appearance, the RTX 3080 ti. Now calm down, we dont have All the hard specs just yet, but what we have is a shipment of MSI apparently directed to distribution centers. On that shipment’s box, we can see a label that says GeForce RTX 3080 ti Ventus 3X.

imagine? why for come how? 3050 Ti is the new high end of the entry level GPU's. it's just really awesome how powerful it is vs what we had just a generation or two ago. gotta love the trickle down effect!

P2000 has been replaced by the P2200 and I see sell pricing below $600. granted no stock...so my cost could be much higher when inventory comes in as it will be influenced by the tariffs and rising costs from the supplies shortages.

just checking...but aside from a GPU like the P2000...what about Radon Pro's? any of them capable for what you want / need in an HTPC?

Untill Plex adds hardware support they haven't worked iv tried the WX line from AMD still a no go.

gotcha.

I have to admit, I do wonder who uses AMD's Pro GPU as there is little software optimized for it that isn't already optimized for Nvidia's Quadro.
