I do wonder if the 1080 Ti would be a better option for consumers than 3080 12GB if you don’t need DLSS and Ray-tracing.
The 1080 Ti has 484.4 GB/s memory bandwidth versus 360.0 GB/s for the 3060. It seems to perform somewhat better (~10%) in games, although I am assuming this is without ray tracing:
I am assuming manufacturing costs should be less for the 1080 Ti, but maybe GDDR5X isn’t manufactured anymore?
