An internal roadmap presentation slide from the GPU manufacturer GALAX has spilled the beans on some unreleased and upcoming GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards. It has been confirmed that NVIDIA is preparing three more SKUs in the Ampere lineup which would be the GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB, GeForce RTX 3070 SUPER/Ti, and the GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, respectively.
The logo in the upper left corner confirms that the slide belongs to Galax. The roadmap which is part of GALAX’s internal presentation was leaked over at the Baidu Forums, as spotted by Twitter users @9550Pro & @harukaze5719. Gigabyte also recently leaked these unreleased GPUs, which were the RTX 3060 8GB, RTX 3070 16GB & RTX 3080 20GB, respectively.
Coming to the roadmap, first we have the RTX 3080 20 GB SKU. This card will feature twice the VRAM as the currently released RTX 3080 10GB Ampere card. We expect this GPU to come with dual-sided memory and to directly compete against AMD’s Big Navi Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU. As we can see from the leaked roadmap, the GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB SKU will be positioned between the RTX 3080 10 GB and RTX 3090 24 GB graphics cards, respectively.
We don’t have RTX 3090’s successor in this roadmap yet. Next up we have the RTX 3070 16 GB graphics card which is rumored to be codenamed as GeForce RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3070 SUPER.
This GPU will feature the PG142 SKU 0 board which is a new variant in the Ampere RTX 30-series lineup, and more importantly, the RTX 3070 16 GB GDDR6 variant will feature the full GA104 GPU die, having 6144 CUDA cores. The plain non-S/Ti RTX 3070 is having a total of 5888 CUDA cores, which is 256 cores less. This card slides in between the GeForce RTX 3080 10 GB and GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB models.
Lastly, we have the RTX 3060 graphics card which is also mentioned in the roadmap and listed right next to the GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GPUs, though we are not sure whether this entry will be the standard RTX 3060 SKU, or the rumored RTX 3060 Ti/SUPER variant. The GeForce RTX 3060 SUPER/Ti GPU will come with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and it has been reported that this card would end up using a cut-down GA104-200 GPU die, instead of the GA106 GPU core which is designed for the mid-tier and mainstream SKUs.
It will house the PG142 PCB, and will feature 4864 CUDA cores in a total of 38 SMs, 1024 CUDA cores less as compared to the 5888 cores featured on the RTX 3070 GPU which has 46 SMs enabled. The RTX 3060 Ti/Super will more likely be a successor to the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Turing GPU, which also features 8 GB memory and the TU104 GPU core die.
But do note that the Ti and SUPER variants might also be the same GPU, since the RTX 3060 is based on the same board, the GA104-200 SKU/ PG142 PCB. Also, don’t expect similar pricing for these Ti or Super variants, since the GeForce RTX 3070 with 16 GB of VRAM could end up close to the pricing of the GeForce RTX 3080, and the RTX 3080 20 GB would cost roughly around $799-$899 USD.
These Ti/Super variants aren’t meant to replace the existing RTX 30 series lineup, but they rather offer a step-up and upgrade in terms of memory and better core specs, but at higher prices. This all depends on how AMD responds back with their NAVI 2X lineup based on the RDNA2 architecture.
Galax also recently unveiled its new custom RTX 3090 Gamer GPU having a Lego Design, sporting three colors Red, Blue and Black. This is a Chinese-exclusive model, made specifically for the Asian market. The card is a triple-slot and triple-fan (90mm) design, and looks like a Nintendo Switch portable gaming console.
Galax is no stranger to unusual designs though, like the RTX 2080 Super EX Pink Edition, or the all-white design (PCB and shroud) of an RTX 2080 Ti Hall of Fame Edition.
Stay tuned for more!
Hello, my name is NICK Richardson. I’m an avid PC and tech fan since the good old days of RIVA TNT2, and 3DFX interactive “Voodoo” gaming cards. I love playing mostly First-person shooters, and I’m a die-hard fan of this FPS genre, since the good ‘old Doom and Wolfenstein days.
MUSIC has always been my passion/roots, but I started gaming “casually” when I was young on Nvidia’s GeForce3 series of cards. I’m by no means an avid or a hardcore gamer though, but I just love stuff related to the PC, Games, and technology in general. I’ve been involved with many indie Metal bands worldwide, and have helped them promote their albums in record labels. I’m a very broad-minded down to earth guy. MUSIC is my inner expression, and soul.

only buy series with even numbers like 4000s and 6000s otherwise it will bring bad luck.
Every one is a multiple of 2, 3060, 3070, 3080, 3090, thus even numbers.
Even if you go by f*king series, 3000, is still an even number. Dumb A*s.
Your logic is as bogus as your bullshit luck, neither exist.
So angry lol
you’re mad because you have low iq (unlike me).
SKU 0 for me atm. 2 much tdp and not 12- 16 gb ram
The memory amounts of these cards is really unfortunate.
3080 10gb and 3070 8gb – too little memory for maxing out upcoming games at intended resolutions for these gpus
3080 20gb and 3070 16gb – waste of money on too much memory
10gigs is not gonna bottleneck you for years and years. The next gen consoles dont have that much memory that youll end up bottlenecked with 10 gigs. Even if we’re being absurd, you’re gonna move the texture slider down a notch and youll be set.
The 20 gigs is a complete waste of money. It doesnt exist yet, for one. And you can be sure its gonna add another 200 bucks on the price or more. For nothing
10 gigs will bottlenck you really soon on select games if you want to max things out.
Consoles have double the memory of past base consoles so I think that Vram needs will take a jump soon.
PCs use more memory on max settings then consoles.
I mean sure, you will be able to adjust a few settings just a little bit and will be fine for years but people buying 3080s don’t really want to.
dude, you’re not gonna be bottlenecked by the 10 gig 3080 :))
Its bandwidth is almost double that of ps5. And thats shared between gpu and cpu on consoles. They might have 16 gigs in total, but they only have 13 for games, the rest if for OS.
You’re simply not gonna be bottlenecked by anything for a long a*s time. This card is gonna be mid range by the time you will be
This happens every time a card has low ram. People defend it and in the end the card loses a lot of performance soon.
This is the same thing as the old ‘2gb is enough’ of 680 vs 7870 and ‘3gb is enough for 1080p’ for the 3gb 1060.
In both cases it wasn’t for long.
Again this applies only for 4k
This is not a card with low ram, jesus christ. I guess its futile to talk further, we’ll need to let time pass so you can see for yourselves that its not a problem.
Doom eternal, Shadow of the tomb raider and gears 5 already getting bottlenecked by 8gb so that’s a wierd comment but okay…
Remember this post in 2 years to see who was right 😛
They’re not getting bottlenecked by 8 gigs. Remember, what afternurner reports is not the memory required, games will cache everything in vram if its available.
Look at the memory bandwidth:
2080 448 GB/s
2080 Super 496 GB/s
2080 Ti 616 GB/s
3080 760 GB/s
Playstation 5 448 GB/s
Its near 2 times as fast as the ps5. That console has 13 gb of twice as slow memory shared between cpu and gpu. And its gunning for 4k. In what way is a 3080 gonna be limited when its so far above that ?
Im not saying there wont be a time 10 gigs will not be enough, but its gonna be years and years, you’re gonna want to change the 3080 because 2 other gens of cards will have come out by then, not because it doesnt have enough memory
I’m not basing anything on afterburner but on HW unboxed recent benchmarks where they compared 2080 to 1080Ti.
If you think memory speed makes up for lack of size try runnig your system with 4gb of 5000mhz memory.
Or maybe try maxing out texture settings on an R9 fury that had insane bandwidth – more then a 2080 that came 2 generations after but only 4gb.
If you use 4K like a moron you’ll be bottlenecked by 10GB tomorrow. If you use a sane resolution you won’t have an issue all gen.
Yea it should have been 3080 16 gb from the start
And 3070 12 gb
Nvidia plans to release more 3080s and 3070s variants. I think we will have another:

if RTX 3060 Super truly give RTX 2080 level of performance at max $399, that card would be the best value for most gamers. But I’m hoping the price of aftermarket cards would come down to $349 max or $299 min.
Good info there buddy. Thanks a lot 🙂
I am definetly holding out for a 16 GB GPU. And think that the 3070 Super will serve me well!
If 3090 is only roughly 10% better then regular 3080 how will the ti variant of it really work? Or is it just a case of more vram?
I dont think there’s gonna be a Ti or Super this time. Where will you put them between those 10% inprovements ? Its just gonna be the useless 20 GB variant, but at a premium cost
It’s painfully obvious what has happened with this release. Nvidia wanted to beat AMD’s release so they released Ampere before they should have. They didn’t have anywhere near enough GPUs available to meet demand and now we have a scalper fiasco. They apologized for the shortage which is a damn joke because they knew the demand would far outstrip the supply that they had and now they want to compound the problem by releasing an Ampere card with twice as much VRAM?
It’s a train wreck. Almost no one will be able to buy a 3080 or 3070 for many months unless they want to get scalped.
