Nvidia unveils the Geforce RTX 3080 12GB graphics card
 

New Geforce 511.17 driver as well

Nvidia has launched its new Geforce RTX 3080 12GB graphics card, as well as released the new Geforce 511.17 driver which adds support for the new card as well as fixes a couple of issues.

While there was no official announcement from Nvidia, earlier rumors, the newest driver, as well as announcements from the usual Nvidia AIB partners suggest that the launch is official and it is just a matter of time before we see it on retail/e-tail shelves or see the first reviews.

The Geforce RTX 3080 12GB is based on the same 8nm GA102 GPU as the original Geforce RTX 3080, as well as the RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3090, and the upcoming RTX 3090 Ti. Compared to the previous RTX 3080 that packed 8,704 CUDA cores, or 68 SMs, the new RTX 3080 12GB has 70 SMs enabled, leaving it with 8,960 CUDA cores. This also raises the number of RT cores to 70 as well as the numbers of Tensor cores to 280.
