We have some hot news that should get you through the weekend. A week before announcements specification of the GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 may have been leaked. According to videocardz three products will be announced and/or launched in September, and as a bit of a surprise, the GeForce RTX 3070 is also on that list.
So that entails the GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and the flagship GeForce RTX 3090. The lineup obviously has Gen2 ray-tracing cores and the 3rd iteration tensor cores, hopefully, this time around in substantial enough numbers to not hold beck framerates. The cards will be PCIe 4.0 interface compatible and offer HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a. Specs then, below an overview. The number of RT and Tensor cores are not yet known, but shader count, memory volume, and clock frequencies seem to have leaked now.

GeForce RTX 3090
Let us start with the flagship, the GeForce RTX 3090 comes with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory running on a 384-bit bus at 19.5 Gbps, and that boils down towards 936 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU empowering it is the GA102-300 GPU and it would hold a massive 5,248 shader cores. So far it's all as presumed it would be. The clock frequency then, these shader cores will tick and tock at 1695 MHz alongside a 350W TGP rating, remember that's not a TDP. The TGP (total graphics power) describes the maximum amount of graphics board power that the system power supply should be able to provide to the graphics card. The Founders Edition cards will use the new NVIDIA new 12-pin power connector, AIB cards will be get the more traditional 8-pin connectors. It will also be the only card (for now) with that new 12-pin header. A converter cable for dual-8-pin to 12-pin will be included with the founder edition cards.
GeForce RTX 3080
The GeForce RTX 3080 is based on the GA102-200 GPU and would get 4,352 shader cores clocking in at 1710 MHz. This card sees 10GB GDDR6X memory fitted, and it is running at 19 Gbps. So that is a 320-bit bus which is still a gnarly whopping 760 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Rated at a TGP of 320W the card is connected with dual 8-pin connectors and thus might not use that 12-pin connector.
GeForce RTX 3070
The GeForce RTX 3070 is built around a GA104-300 GPU, but here the juicy specs are still missing. It would get last-gen GDDR6 memory that runs at 16 Gbps speed on a 256-bit bus. The timeframe for release is in September as well.
As we mentioned earlier, we expect a 7nm node fabrication, this rumour is once again unvalidated. More to follow. All info is courtesy of Videocardz and until announced, not official whatsoever. The spec deck is based on reference info and not AIB OC clock frequencies.
