there is high chance that waiting for 3080ti is not good for mining, just go for 3080. like i said earlier, the less state of the art gpus running, the faster you ROI (running 3080)
Yeah, 3080ti is dead for mining not because it will not be a good card, is because of timing, by next year, it could be a negative net on mining and when that happens, cards like 3080ti is the least viable gpu to purchase for mining.
The specs aren't logical, the 3080Ti like that would be as fast, maybe even faster than the 3090 ! Keep in mind there was no 2090 so the 2080Ti could be as fast as possible, but here nvidia needs something squarely between the 3080 and the 3090, not something within 1 or 2% of the 3090.
Well it's next year, so nvidia usually releases titan performance on the ti model. On the 2xxx series there was no need to release a 2080ti because nvidia had already released the 2080ti from the get go with the others, yeah it could have been the 2080ti super but it never came out, so reason i said is going to be like 2016-2017, I think the 1080ti was pretty similar to titan pascal.
