    This might be the result of AMD and the Big Navi Graphics cards since those can overclock to 2.4 Ghz and have 16 GB. NVidia is going for a different strategy.

    Not sure who they would have been for anyway. I definitely wouldn't have bought one, and if they phased out the regular 3080s in order to overcharge me ~$200 for something I didn't need, I would have been pretty upset.

    I'm not sure that a leak about a product that can't be verified has made NVidia change direction on a leak that was never confirmed. 
     
    I'll wait until reviewers have AMD cards and give us their input on performance. I'll wait until NVidia announces a product before I worry about that product being cancelled.

    Is that like a double negative? WCCF is the Donald Trump of the tech press.

    There is report of NVIDIA switching to TSMC 7nm, my guess is that they pushed the 20Gb release for the 7nm process so they can release a Ti version that has faster clocks rather than just higher memory count.

    There was an exact thread yesterday that got moved to General Tech News as it doesn't concern only EVGA 3000 Cards but all cards. Not sure this one will be too but I prefer to warn you in case you're not surprised if this happens.

    I have a friend who until fairly recently worked for Micron, where they produce the GDDR6X. He thinks someone likely screwed up and torpedoed their GDDR6X capacity. He told me about one occasion while he was working for them where one of the chemical feed systems inside the cabinet fed 1001:1 ratio instead of 1000:1 ratio for about 2 months, and a whole batch of wafers had to be scrapped. The lot size was about 18000 wafers. Even very tiny mistakes can severely damage a launch like this. Not saying that is what happened, because he doesn't know, but I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with the shortages we are seeing, and possibly even the cancellations of higher VRAM versions (if they really existed, and if they really got cancelled).

    Lemme preface this by saying, I am not an AMD fan. I haven't purchased a Radeon card that wasn't pre-installed. (I have owned several iMac's). And my 3080 FTW is on the way to me now.
     
    But I believe, based on nothing other than reading/watching what's out there, that Nvidia is about to get beat in every metric that matters.
     
    Someone at Nvidia got a look at the final build of Big Navi 21's 80CU board. The board that was demoed at the Zen3 launch was the 72CU version.
     
    I think Nvidia was faced with AMD having near-partiy with the 3090 and 3080 in the 6900XT and 6800XT. And if that wasn't bad enough, AMD is doing it with 225W cards and GDDR6.
     
    Videocardz just leaked an AIB card that is hitting 2.577GHz on air at 255W. THAT is probably what forced Nvidia to do what I think they are doing.
     
    Ampere on Samsung 8nm is done. I think they are going to Samsung 7nm EUV as fast as they can. The 3070 uses GDDR6, so it has nothing to do with a GDDR6X shortage to cancel that model.
     
    I think they are taping out a 7nm EUV version as fast as they can. What remains to be seen is timeframe and if the specs will stay the same or if they will go for a performance bump.
     
    Just some spitballing here. It is an awfully fun time to be into computers.

    With the demand for the 10GB cards they have very limit motivation to launch 20GB cards.   If AMD launches and the demand changes they could always bring the line up back.   They can focus on the 7nm launch for next year with 20GB on those cards.
