A few days ago, it was rumored on the Internet that Nvidia would launch RTX 3080Ti in May with a brand-new GPU core. On April 23, foreign media exposed the relevant configuration information of the graphics card, and at the same time announced its mining power for the first time, the performance was a bit unexpected.
Foreign media exposed the core photos of RTX 3080Ti, It shows that its core number is GA102-225, which is consistent with previous rumors. The graphics card will be equipped with 1024 stream processors, 384-bit wide 12GB GDDR6X video memory, and the capacity is half of the RTX 3090.

CPU-Z screenshot shows, The core frequency of RTX 3080Ti is between 1365MHz and 1665MHz, which is lower than 3090/3080, which can better widen the gap in performance. However, the memory frequency of RTX 3080Ti can be overclocked from 19GHz to 21.4GHz. When the power reaches 278W, its mining power reaches 118.9MHz/s.

The mining power of RTX 3080 is about 90MHz. I didn’t expect the RTX 3080Ti to be so fierce and the increase in computing power is so large. It seems that the miners have to act again. However, NVIDIA has stated that it will limit the mining capabilities of RTX30 series graphics cards, and 3080Ti will also be restricted under normal circumstances.
RTX 3060 is limited to 50% of the computing power. If the same ratio is used, the limited computing power of 3080Ti is about 50~60MHz/s. Combined with its price and power consumption, the price/performance ratio for mining may not be so high, but as long as it is a graphics card with strong computing power, it is estimated that miners will not let it go.
In March, NVIDIA launched the first professional mining card CMP 30HX, which uses the previous generation GPU core and cancels the video output interface. The power is 125W, the mining power is 26MH/s, and the price is close to 4700 yuan. Compared with RTX 3060, there is still a gap, but it is still purchased in large quantities by miners, which brings huge revenue growth to NVIDIA.
There will be CMP 40HX, 50HX and 90HX and other mining cards to be listed in the future. The corresponding mining power is 36MHz/s, 45MHz/s and 86MHz/s respectively. It is estimated that the price is certainly not cheap. In contrast, RTX 3080Ti is still the sweet pastry in the eyes of miners.
Fortunately, the price of virtual currency has fallen in recent days. It is expected that the demand for graphics cards from miners will ease a little in the future. At that time, there may be a chance to buy graphics cards at the original price. I look forward to this day.
