The normal model is one and a half times faster
We have already seen how Chinese craftsmen converted mobile GeForce RTX 3060 Laptops into desktop adapters. It turned out that there was the same miracle but in the form of the RTX 3080 Ti.
Such adapters are produced by the Chinese company XR, which we have not heard of before. Technically, this is a mobile RTX 3080 Ti Laptop, that is, with a GA103 GPU at the core, which has 7424 active CUDA cores. For comparison, the desktop RTX 3080 Ti is based on the GA102 with 10,240 CUDA cores.
Be careful when purchasing the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti.
In addition, this “Frankenstein’s monster” has a 256-bit bus and lower frequencies, but it has 16 GB of memory versus 12 GB for the original desktop model. What’s interesting is that in this particular case, the TDP is also reduced to 115 W, although the mobile RTX 3080 Ti Laptop can operate at 150 W.
However, tests show that the flip card produces results almost identical to the mobile model. But the normal RTX 3080 Ti is one and a half times faster than both versions, that is, these are solutions of completely different classes.
Thus, when purchasing an RTX 3080 Ti from China, it is worth taking a closer look at the product’s characteristics.
