MASSIVE NEWS / RUMOR! Nvidia cancels RTX 3080 20gb and RTX 3070 16gb! + RTX 3070 Benchmark In a surprising development from Nvidia, rumors are indicating the cancellation of the RTX 3080 20GB and RTX 3070 16GB graphics cards, initially expected to debut in December. This news comes as quite a shock to many in the tech community, particularly those anticipating these upgrades due to previous promotions by AIB partners.

Key Highlights:​

• Cancellation Confirmation: Sources confirm that these models are officially cancelled rather than just postponed. After the cancellation of the RTX 3070 Ti, these latest models join the list of unlaunched cards.
• Market Competition: The RTX 3080 20GB was anticipated to compete against AMD's RX 6900 and 6800 series, which feature 16GB of RAM. With Nvidia lacking a competitive stance in terms of memory, this decision raises questions about their future strategy.
• Supply Chain Issues: Nvidia appears to be struggling with supply chain constraints, making the introduction of more models problematic. It’s speculated that distributing their existing stock among additional models would only exacerbate the current availability challenges.
• Price Expectations: There's a concern that if these cards were launched at high prices, it could drive customers towards AMD, especially with their competitive pricing on similar specs.
• Potential Future Releases: While the RTX 30 series is still fresh, it's hinted that Nvidia may release alternate models such as a 3080 Ti or a competitive offering against AMD's upcoming cards.

Benchmark Insights:​

The RTX 3070's benchmarks indicate performance comparable to the RTX 2080 Ti in games like "Ashes of the Singularity", marking an impressive achievement given the lower price point. This suggests Nvidia is still prioritizing value through their mid-range offerings, even amidst these cancellations. As we look into the ever-evolving GPU market, it's clear that while Nvidia may have hit some snags with these announcements, their strategy around performance-per-dollar remains strong.
