NVIDIA has announced the launch of its mobile RTX 30 series “Ampere” GPUs, namely the RTX 3060, 3070, and 3080 mobile. Notebooks featuring the 3060 will start at $999 while the top-end 3080-powered devices will start at a whopping $1,999. As already reported earlier, the laptop variant of the RTX 3080 will be based on the GA104, the same die that powers the RTX 3070, rather than the GA102 which forms the desktop-grade RTX 3080/3090.
