Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3070 Ti

The Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti join Nvidia's current range of RTX-30 series laptop GPUs. The two new graphics cards aim to offer desktop-grade performance in a mobile device.

The Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti features 16GB of GDDR6 memory and will arrive on flagship gaming laptops with a starting price of $2,499 (Roughly Rs 1,90,800). Nvidia claims that the laptop version of the RTX 3080 Ti can deliver faster performance than the desktop Titan RTX GPU from the previous generation. Laptops with the RTX 3080 Ti will be capable of running games at 120fps in 1440p resolution.

The Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti will find its way on laptops starting from $1,499 (Roughly Rs 1,14,450). The RTX 3070 Ti, which is touted to be up to 70 percent faster than the RTX 2070 Super and is capable of delivering “excellent 1440p performance”.
