GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Is Here: The Fastest GeForce GPU For The Most Demanding Creators & Gamers

Whether you’re gaming, working in creative applications, or conducting scientific research, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is our fastest GeForce GPU yet, delivering the highest performance possible.
www.nvidia.com

Designed for the most demanding gamers, content creators and data scientists, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti features a record-breaking 10,752 CUDA cores, and boasts 78 RT-TFLOPs, 40 Shader-TFLOPs and 320 Tensor-TFLOPs of power. And It's packed with 24GB of the fastest 21Gbps GDDR6X memory.

These and other super speed specs make it the world's fastest graphics card, gaming up to 60% faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and 55% faster than the TITAN RTX.

Crazy impressive specs and you're certainly paying for them, with the price starting at $2,000, and a power draw of 500W for the card alone. ASUS are already recommending a 1,000W PSU. At least it might run Crysis.

So the actual price will be $5,000 a day after the release due to chip shortages and scalpers, right?

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.

Fuck me dude, you could kill someone with that monstrosity.

Only 10% faster too. Lol.

That power usage is juicy. I would have expected a bigger power jump for that and the price.

I'm not really a hardcore pc gamer but 1000w is a bit insane, no?

Not really, if you had an SLI setup back in the day. Considering the sheer massive size of this card and how much power was required already for the RTX 3080, it doesn't seem that out of the ordinary.
The only aspect for me is whether that power is justified if you are a gamer :p. Not really, if you use it for scientific purposes then there's some merit to it.
It's cheaper than an RTX A5500/A5000 so for those user who don't need the workstation criteria (which are applicable for quite a number of people in the scientific community) then it's a good deal. There are also some other aspects, which make an RTX 3090 more advantageous.

I feel like we hit the point of diminishing returns with the original 3090, but why don't we just keep going and see what happens?

Daaang, that's a thicc boi.

For real, this thing needs to have some kind of support bracket bundled in the box. Is there any motherboard with a PCI-e slot that won't just snap off the board if you left this hanging just with the basic screws?

Seems like it's just being a small run intending to push peoples perceptions and expectations of price and power draw higher - so they can push the envelope with the 4000 series and make people think it's a bargain.

Why not just crank the power limit and OC the memory to 21Gbps on an AIB 3090? Doesn't the Strix 3090 OC come with a 480w power limit? You could probably get within 2% of a 3090 Ti for a lot less cash now that GPU prices are falling.

What a weird product, especially with Ada just around the corner.

8-12% more power....but needs 500w?....and a 2k price tag?

Lmao.

Nvidia taking the piss with this one, even if designed for the whaliest of whales and/or non-gaming usage.

edit: Also, why is this coming out now, when the 4-series is (theoretically) launching in the fall?

Hopefully not a sign of things to come in terms of Nividia brute-forcing performance with more power.

The memory temperatures are drastically improved over the regular 3090. Like from 95 to 65. At least they fixed the biggest flaw in this version!

Steve from Gamers Nexus said it best in his review of the 3090 Ti: "The maximum card you need to be looking at for a gaming computer really stops at a 3080 or a 6800 XT"
