Gigabyte has accidentally revealed a number of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards which would include the GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB, GeForce RTX 3070 16 GB, and GeForce RTX 3060 8 GB models. These cards were found by Videocardz on Gigabyte’s Watch Dogs Legion code redeeming website and have not even been announced by NVIDIA yet.

The Gigabyte website showed several variants as part of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 series line up from Gigabyte. The product list features GeForce RTX 3060S 8GB model, GeForce RTX 3070 16GB and GeForce RTX 3080 20GB. Currently, the meaning of the “S” moniker is unknown but it may represent the “Super” variants of cards that NVIDIA first released for their RTX 2000 series cards. The graphics cards include different Aorus and Gigabyte variants:
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 (SUPER/Ti) AORUS Master 20 GB (GV-308SAORUS M-20GD)
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming OC 20 GB (GV-308GAMING OC-20GD)
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 (SUPER/Ti) AORUS Master 16 GB (GV-307SAORUS M-16GD)
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 (SUPER/Ti) Gaming OC 16 GB (GV-3070SGAMING OC-16GD)
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 (SUPER/Ti) Eagle OC 8 GB (GV-3060SEAGLE OC-8GD)
These leaks confirm various memory configurations that were first speculated for the RTX 3000 series. By the looks of it, the GA104-based RTX 3060 model will feature 8GB memory while the supercharged RTX 3070 model with full GA104 GPU (6144 CUDAs) is expected to feature 16GB of GDDR6 memory.
Meanwhile, the GeForce RTX 3080 20 GB models could get two variants based on the listed product codenames. That however is speculation for now but there are chances of a higher-end 80 series model coming out after AMD reveals their Big Navi Radeon 6000 series in October.
The interesting thing to see will be how NVIDIA prices the new cards. The GeForce RT 3080 with 20 GB could end up between $799-$899. We will have to wait and see how NVIDIA tackles Big Navi and prices their RTX 3000 lineup!
