What is the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti?
The RTX 3080 Ti is the new flagship graphics card from American tech behemoth Nvidia.
It’s said to be the fastest and most powerful GPU crafted by the company yet.
Gamers can load it into their custom-built PCs to boost the performance of video games and other heavy-duty tasks.
According to Nvidia: “If you desire ultra performance in gaming, ray-traced workloads, rendering, and GPU-accelerated applications, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the graphics card for you.
“In rasterized and ray-traced games, performance is 1.5X faster, and when you’re rendering in Blender, V-Ray and other applications, performance is up to 2X faster than last gen.
“Whatever your workload, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers ultimate performance.”
