Today, NVIDIA is announcing three brand-new graphics cards launching this November with prices starting at $899. There are two RTX 4080 variants, one 12GB and one 16GB, while the RTX 4090 comes in with 24GB of memory. As NVIDIA’s latest graphics cards, there’s a lot to look at to see whether it’s worth picking up the new generation or sticking with sales on the 30-series. So, without further ado, let’s dive into NVIDIA’s RTX 40-series launch.
NVIDIA announces impressive RTX 3090 Ti GPU at $1,999, but who is this card really for?
While most of the world is still struggling to get graphics cards at MSRP, NVIDIA saw fit to launch yet another high-tier GPU, this time nearing a $2,000 retail price. The Big Ferocious GPU, or BFGPU as NVIDIA has coined for the RTX 3090 Ti, delivers a whopping 24GB of GDDR6X memory that’s clocked at 21GB/s. It packs 10,752 CUDA cores, 78 RT-, 40 Shader-, and 320 Tensor-TFLOPs of power, and requires an 850W PSU to drive. While the 3090 Ti might be a powerhouse of a GPU, is it even necessary in today’s gaming lineup or should NVIDIA have devoted resources to making more of its affordable graphics cards? Let’s take a closer look at the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti specs and how it stacks up down below.
