NVIDIA announces GeForce RTX 3090Ti flagship and RTX 3050 entry-level desktop GPUs

NVIDIA announces GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

The RTX 3090 Ti offers a full implementation of the GA102 GPU. This card will not only feature more cores but also faster memory than the original RTX 3090 GPU.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti ships with 10752 CUDA cores and 24GB GDDR6X memory. It is NVIDIA’s first model to feature 21 Gbps 16Gb modules, which is part is the reason why this card has a higher TDP of 450W, over 100W more than the RTX 3090 model. It is also the first GPU to utilize a 16-pin power connector, which will hopefully become a standard that will replace standard 8-pin power connectors.

The new flagship GPU has a boost clock of 1860 MHz unlocking nearly 40 TFLOPs of single-precision compute power, a compute performance not available to any NVIDIA Ampere GPU yet.

NVIDIA was not ready to share the specs of this new card just yet, but promises to reveal more details later this month. Thankfully for our readers, we have the full spec listed below:
