2. GA102-350 (High-End Cut-Down Variant)

Overview

The GA102-350 is a slightly trimmed version powering the RTX 3080 Ti, offering nearly identical gaming performance to the 3090 at a lower price point while sacrificing some VRAM and NVLink support.

Key Specifications

• CUDA Cores: 10,240 (~97% enabled)
• RT Cores: 80
• Tensor Cores: 320
• Memory: 12GB GDDR6X (384-bit bus, 912 GB/s)
• Clock Speeds:
  • Base: 1.37 GHz | Boost: 1.67 GHz
• TDP: 350W

Performance Characteristics

✔ 4K Gaming: Matches RTX 3090 in most games
✔ Ray Tracing: Excellent RT performance
✔ Value: Better price/performance than 3090 for gamers

Use Cases

• Enthusiast 4K gaming
• High-refresh 1440p gaming
• Content creation (where 12GB VRAM suffices)

3. GA102-200 (Mid-Range Refresh Variant)

Overview

The GA102-200 was introduced later in the Ampere lifecycle to power the RTX 3080 12GB, offering more VRAM than the original 3080 while maintaining better yields than full dies.

Key Specifications

• CUDA Cores: 8,960 (~85% enabled)
• RT Cores: 70
• Tensor Cores: 280
• Memory: 12GB GDDR6X (384-bit bus, 912 GB/s)
• Clock Speeds:
  • Base: 1.26 GHz | Boost: 1.71 GHz
• TDP: 350W

Performance Characteristics

✔ Balanced Performance: Between 3080 10GB and 3080 Ti
✔ Future-Proofing: Extra VRAM helps with modern games
✔ Availability: Better yields than full dies

Use Cases

• 1440p/4K gaming
• VR and simulation workloads
• Moderate content creation

4. GA102-250 (Entry High-End Variant)

Overview

The GA102-250 is the most cut-down variant, originally powering the RTX 3080 10GB. It offers excellent 4K performance but with some compromises in memory bandwidth.

Key Specifications

• CUDA Cores: 8,704 (~83% enabled)
• RT Cores: 68
• Tensor Cores: 272
• Memory: 10GB GDDR6X (320-bit bus, 760 GB/s)
• Clock Speeds:
  • Base: 1.44 GHz | Boost: 1.71 GHz
• TDP: 320W

Performance Characteristics

✔ Value Leader: Best price/performance at launch
✔ Efficiency: Lower TDP than other variants
✔ Limitation: 10GB VRAM can be restrictive for 4K

Use Cases

• Mainstream 4K gaming
• High-refresh 1440p gaming
• Entry-level content creation
