Detailed tech view
NVIDIA has revised the plans for the upcoming RTX 30 series ‘refresh’. If you were planning (or trying) to buy a high-end GPU, then you should definitely wait for December. Our sources are confident that NVIDIA will launch two SKUs: 3080 20GB and 3070 16GB in that month.
Fully correct. Do not buy modern GPU card with less than 16GB, but 20GB or 24GB are better.
