Nvidia has a new gaming flagship, and its design fixes a lot of problems
Nvidia has a new flagship Geforce graphics card, which unleashes the full power of Ampere by adding more CUDA cores, higher clock speeds, and faster GDDR6X memory to the company's already powerful RTX 3090.
With the addition of 21Gbps 2GB GDDR6X memory modules, Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti is faster and easier to cool than its predecessors, replacing 19.5 Gbps 1GB GDDR6X chips with 21GBPS 2GB chips. With the RTX 3090 Ti, Nvidia has streamlined their design by offering more memory bandwidth and the same 24GB frame buffer as before while using half as many memory chips. This simplifies memory cooling significantly, and reduces the number of components that are needed to create an RTX 3090 Ti graphics card.
Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti is designed to cement Nvidia's leadership of the consumer GPU market, offering more memory capacity than their rivals while offering customers a notable performance boost over their already powerful RTX 3090 graphics card. This is the full potential of Nvidia's Ampere architecture, and Nvidia claims that this GPU is up to 60% faster than an RTX 2080 Ti and up to 55% faster than a Titan RTX.
MSRP Pricing
Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti will cost more than the company's RTX 3090, with the GPU's Founders Edition model costing $1,999 in the US and £1,879. That's a significant premium over the RTX 3090's MSRP of £1,399. That said, Nvidia's RTX 3090 has rarely been available at that price.
Specifications
Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti has 256 more CUDA cores than its predecessor and much higher GPU clock speeds. In total, Nvidia's RTX 3090 Ti offers gamers 78 RT-TFLOPs, 40 Shader-TFLOPs and 320 Tensor-TFLOPs of power. The graphics card also offers users over 1TB/s of memory bandwidth, a first for Nvidia's Geforce lineup.
With the RTX 3090 Ti, Nvidia's GPU TDPs have increased to 450W, requiring the use of a PCIe 5.0 power cable. Nvidia's Founders Edition model will ship with a 3x PCIe 8-pin to PCIe 5.0 16-pin power adaptor, an so will many AIB models. Future PSUs will be adopting the PCIe 16-pin power standard to support future high wattage graphics cards.
