Nvidia launches GeForce RTX 3090 Ti for $1999

Nvidia has finally released the GeForce RTX 3090 T, its flagship consumer graphic card. It was revealed in January along with the RTX 3050..

The RTX 3090 Ti has a fully enabled GA102 GPU with 10752 CUDA cores, which is only slightly higher than the 10496 on the RTX 3090. The RT cores have gone up from 82 to 84 and the Tensor cores from 328 to 336. It includes the same 24GB of GDDR6X memory but the speed has been increased from 19. 5 Gbps to 21 Gbps.

Nvidia claims the RTX 3090 Ti has 40 TFLOPS of single precision performance compared to 35 TFLOPS of the RTX 3090. In gaming, it is 9 percent faster on average compared to the RTX 3090.

Nvidia seems to be primarily positioning the RTX 3090 Ti as a content creator’s card, focusing on the 24GB of memory you get compared to the 10GB or 12GB of the RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti. However, even the standard RTX 3090 has 24GB of memory, so I’m not sure what’s new here.

Similarly, the company is once again making claims of 8K gaming, which are about as realistic today as they were two years ago when the RTX 3090 was announced.

The final announcement from milquetoast is the insane price. This model comes with a very cool . That’s a 33 percent increase over the RTX 3090 despite the company’s own single digit performance improvement claims. And since this is MSRP, expect to pay a lot more in the current market.

I’m certain this will be a popular choice for those looking to get the best graphics card available. The RTX 3090 used to be the fastest available card, while the RTX 3090 T is vastly faster. There are also customers who don’t care about money or can earn their hardware back. There are the scalpers, and crypto miners. So it’s not as if there isn’t a market for it. And GPU manufacturers know this, which is why they have stopped pretending that prices need to be sensible when you can get away with putting any number on the box.
