The new cards were spotted on Asus’s support page.
The listings have now been removed from the support page
There have been several reports, but it is the first confirmation about the SKU
Nvidia’s new cards have created a stir in the GPU space offering higher performance at a lower price when compared to the predecessors. The entry-level RTX 3060 packs a similar performance to RTX 2080 for a fraction of the price at the time when the cards were released.
Since the announcement of the RTX 30 series cards, rumors of an Nvidia RTX 3080 with 20GB VRAM have been circulating given the gap between RTX 3080 10GB and RTX 3090 24GB cards. It seemed quite obvious that NVIDIA would fill this gap and release a card to fill the void.
Very little information has surfaced about the RTX 3080 Ti (or RTX 3080 Super) till now. As spotted by Very little information has surfaced about the RTX 3080 Ti (or RTX 3080 Super) till now.

Given the price gap between RTX 3080 $699 (Rs 51,431 directly converted) and RTX 3090 $1,499 (Rs 1,10,293 directly converted), it was imminent that Nvidia would release a card to fill the gap between the price range. The existence of these cards is not yet confirmed. Also, these cards have not leaked anywhere else. Given the current supply issue of the Nvidia 30 series cards, we might see a paper launch of the new cards soon.
