Nvidia launches the gaming leviathan RTX 3090 Ti
pcinvasion.comThe spotlight has officially shifted from the RTX 3090 to Nvidia’s new king of graphics cards, the RTX 3090 Ti. Although Nvidia announced the card back in January during CES 2022, all has been quiet on the Green front in regard to this card until now. Gaming hardware connoisseurs can experience the glory of the company’s best, and most expensive, new graphics card –Nvidia launched the 3090 Ti today.
Based on the same architecture and underlying hardware as the standard RTX 3090, this new flagship is distinguished in part by a binned GA102 GPU with the full allotment of 10,752 CUDA cores and additional on-chip hardware. In more simple terms, Nvidia picked the best chip samples it produced for its RTX 3090s and 3080 Tis, free from minor imperfections and capable of better clock speeds.
The chip is additionally paired with the fastest GDDR6X memory yet, capable of 21Gbps. It’s a greater effective bandwidth than the 19.5Gbps memory featured on the RTX 3090. Nvidia then built the cards to handle over 450W of power, allowing it to push its prime silicon to new levels of performance.
According to Nvidia, the RTX 3090 Ti manages about 9% better gaming performance than the RTX 3090. That’s 64% faster than the previous generation RTX 2080 Ti flagship for further perspective. What we have here is a true enthusiast card, capable of high refresh 4K gaming with cranked-up settings.
While Nvidia only provided vague performance estimates at best, the claims sound reasonable at face value given the various modification to the base RTX 3090 design. We’ll have to wait for independent reviews of course, but we can still generally analyze the card based on the info provided.
The massively increased Total Board Power (TBP) is where the
