The new RTX 3080 12GiB has been covered on and off since January.** But more importantly, I've noted a number of IHVs are now offering the RTX 3080 Ti at their MSRP, and yes ... they are available!
E.g., I just picked up an eVGA RTX 3080 Ti for $1,329, which was their list price at introduction.
And there's now the MSI RTX 3080 Ti option at $1,449 that just became available at Amazon too. We're likely to see a few more under $1,500 as well, at actual MSRP.

But this looks to be the 'final days' of the RTX 3080 Ti ... namely the GA102-225 IC.
In its place will be the slightly more expensive RTX 3080 12GiB, with the GA102-220 IC, which is 20-33% slower due to lack of pixels:texels and a slower base clock.
The 'original' RTX 3080 10GiB with the original GA102-200 is nowhere to be found, with the 12GiB replacing it being +50% more ... and even more than the 3080 Ti it is seemingly going to replace (despite being slower).
**Prior coverage on how crappy of a deal the non-Ti 12GiB model is ...

The RTX 3080 12GB is real and listed for more than the launch price of an RTX 3090
The price tags so far for Nvidia's moderately improved RTX 3080 12GB cards make me want to cry.
