Nvidia's Long-Awaited RTX 3090 Ti Gets Release Date and Price
After announcing the card at CES 2022 and remaining silent in the weeks following, Nvidia has finally shared pricing and release date information for its new flagship graphics card, the RTX 3090 Ti, which is available starting today.
Designed to be the new flagship in the RTX 30 series, the RTX 3090 Ti features 24Gb of 21Gbps GDDR6X memory.

The Founder's Edition of the RTX 3090 Ti will retail for $1,999, but depending on the OEM you purchase from, you will most likely be paying more as the price of Nvidia GPUs has been marked up from their debut price. However, it appears GPU pricing is starting to calm down. Asus announced yesterday that it would be marking down the costs of its graphics card SKUs by up
