Rumor: RTX 3090 Ti spotted (450W TDP), releasing January 2022
- Thread starter Earvin Infinity
- Start date
The 3080 Ti I got at MSRP will do me just fine. How much Ram is this thing going to have anyway? 36 GB?
I picked up a 3090 FE at MSRP from Best Buy, looking to pull the same thing off with the Ti. At the initial drop I may have a slim chance.
the ti variants are designed to maximize their profit margins. Compared to the 3080, all the cards above it are trash when it comes to value.
Will see if I can snag one.
Same boat. Got a 3090 FE from Best Buy but if I can grab one of these at msrp, I'll be sitting pretty good.
I am confused as to why it would appealing to upgrade to the 3090 ti from the 3090. The difference will be so small. Probably within less than 5%.
I hope someday I will upgrade from my 1060 6G. I paid 1300 reais in 2016. Dolar was 2 Reais, now it's almost 6 and the cheapest 3060 is 5000 reais.
It's not an upgrade, its for a 12900k build that I want for testing purposes. I use my current 3090 FE 10700k build for the same things; It just so happens that I can game on them too. There are other factors that play into this as well because I'm not in the business of throwing away money.
And if you're willing to flout with that kind of money you probably could afford to just wait for the 4090 since that's credibly rumored to be at least 2x over the 3090.
450w is nonsensical. They should have stuck this in the quadro line.
Can we go back to 150-250w gpus.
Please.
Can we go back to 150-250w gpus.
Please.
It's free performance + you make money with the swap. It always makes sense to try and buy an FE card.
Those exist though. 3060 TI & 3070 are both below 250W.
So true. I was so hyped to finally upgrade from my 670 4GB I bought in like 2012 with a 3070, but shit is impossible to find and I refuse to pay above MSRP. To hell with scalpers.
Yeah, they will be here in 10 months. Selling your 3090 is far more hassle then I would like to deal personally for less than 5% gain.
And there are people who can afford golden consoles, golden GPUs, godlen cars, golden toilets. This is made for them.
More power to them. I am not one of those people. I would rather they focus the majority of production making the 3060, 3070 and 3080.
If I can actually buy the fucking thing I may actually retire my 1080ti ..... What an incredible investment that GPU all those years ago
I assume the 10 million variants of 3000 products is just so they can charge double or more of the launch prices of the 4000 series of cards and not make it feel so egregious since they keep raising the prices of the newer 3000 series cards. My prediction: 4070 at $899, 4080 at $1499, 4090 at $2999 with a 4080 Ti launching at a later date for $1999. And those will be pre-scalping prices thanks to Ethereum delaying proof of work switch over yet again.
Yep. It just feels wrong with the climate disaster to use this amount of power to play a videogame. It's obscene. And it's only going to get worse with the 4000 series and beyond.
I'm in the same boat. I bought the 2080ti because my 780 got fried after my power supply went and I had AWFUL luck with a string of EVGA power supplies so I got a 1060 as a replacement a bit before the 20xx launched beause I couldn't justify the price of those and needed a graphics card. My plan WAS to get a 20xx as an upgrade form the 780 but then it popped so I went 1060 as a stop gap and the plan was to wait for a 30xx eventually.
Then I could afford shit and saved and upgraded my PC with a valve Index and a 2080ti and all nice stuff a good 6 or so months before the 30xx launched which was prime "wait for 30xx" time but turns out was good because I wouldn't have been able to get a 30xx at that time, and then scalpers and shortages would mean even 20xx shit skyrocketed.
I mean, I could have gotten luck with a 30xx series but doubtful and the 2080ti has been serving me well thus far (I'm still at 1080p so can even enjoy the RTX).
Maybe the 40xx stuff will launch and be affordable and widely available or if not, the 50xx provided we're still living in a society and not Mad Max.
It is true that prices are higher than they should be, but it's a bit silly to complain about not being able to buy/afford a 3090 TI. You (the average consumer) are not supposed to but this anyway. This is super high-end, like the Ferrari among GPU's. Ofcourse you're paying a large premium for that.

It's funny because I was actually tempted to build my first gaming PC from scratch this year but I guess console gaming it will be for what seems like the rest of this generation
EVGA will release 3090Ti with up to 1275W power usage potential.

EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Kingpin Spotted with two 16-pin connectors for up to 1275 watts
Yep, Ti. The new SKU utilizes NVIDIA's largest chip from the GeForce "Ampere" graphics architecture, the GA102, and pairs it with even faster 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory; however, these change...

Ampere scales quite well with increased power consumption and, as ridiculous as this sounds, even an Asus Strix 3090 with a 500w power limit still feels like it's being bottlenecked by the wattage. It's kind of a mess of an architecture the more I think about it.EVGA will release 3090Ti with up to 1275W power usage potential.

If the Lovelace rumors are true with the flagship 4090 (?) being a 450w-500w behemoth, then it honestly feels like the 3090 Ti is simply a way of grooming the masses into accepting ~500w GPUs before the 4000 series release in Autumn.

What....in your personal opinion....are the chances that the 4000 series actually launches this Autumn?
Paper launch is pretty high given past releases. There's been a 2 year gap between architectures for the past decade. Now whether or not you'll get your hands on one is obviously another story.
Scalpers will be very happy at the least. If Ether finally goes to PoS mining might slow down.
That's set for June 2022 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's delayed yet again!=O
Same, I want a new gpu badly. I don't know if I should just wait for the 4000 series at this point, lol.
Yeah, I gave in and got 3080 Ti a few months back from Microcenter. Not a great price, but it is what it is I guess :(.
450-500W is too much, even 370W is a bit too much in my opinion. I don't really like this direction, especially after years of Nvidia outclassing AMD in efficiency and how it was a big advantage for them. The tables have turned it seems...
I have doubts about the reliability of those cards as well, 3090 failures stories are not that old.
I doubt 4070/4080 are gonna cost 500/700$ like they did this time though.
On the bright side at least you can get to a Microcenter, heck it's too far away from my location!
I did read that Nvidia is increasing the MSRP for them. But I'm more for the 4060-4070 at best.
sold!
I think most people undervold and underclock. Very few people are running them full tilt. I have an open loop and I don't bother.
The math right there is pretty simple, yeah? The rest of the system isn't pulling 600W.
If release schedule is comparable to past generations, we will get the RTX 4060 in 2023, while high end models launch first this year.
A simple estimation based on CUDA cores that may not be exact... I think the RTX 4060 Ti card should be equal to the RTX 3080 in terms of performance, while the 4070 should be slightly faster, more similar to 3080 Ti/3090 (if the 4070 chip is ~ 50-60% percent of the flagship chip).
I don't know what to think of the RTX 4060 though, it seems like they don't give those a big jump like the others, RTX 3060 is 2060 Super with bigger VRAM.
I think, if you want something to keep for a long time, maybe waiting is a good idea, or getting RTX 3080 now if possible, but if you do upgrade often (every 2 or 3 years maybe) then the RTX 3070/3060 Ti both are great.
Its Turing all over again.
If 4060 ends up around 3070 performance but cheaper then that would be fine, although after the 3060 anything could happen. Seems if the 4060 Ti does exist it should be around the 3080 as you said which would be an insane upgrade from my 1070(heck I already consider the 3060 Ti-3070 to be a massive upgrade from my 1070 even and was aiming for those cards earlier). I don't have plans to ever get a 3080 so the 60-70 cards of either 3000 or 4000 series will have to do.
Price and stock is going to be another problem though.
