3080Ti release date and specs have been confirmed/finalized: https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-final-specifications-confirmed
As expected it's much closer to the 3090 than to the 3080 in everything except raw VRAM capacity.
They will also be LHR (low hash rate) out of the gate, which will give them about half the mining performance of a 3090, at least until good workarounds are discovered.
The FE version seems identical to the 3080 FE, which likely means anemic GDDR6X cooling. So, unless one is desperate, waiting for an AIB model would be wise.
Of course, availability is still an open question, but I don't expect it to be good.
Decided to make some changes to the system my own 3080 is going wind up in, so I haven't done much gaming/benching on it...just fired up Odyssey a few times to confirm that issues I was experiencing weren't limited to my 6800 XT.
