Did you’re feeling that? Was it an earthquake? An avalanche? No, nVidia simply determined to throw all warning to the wind and create the world’s strongest client GPU, and that GPU is stomping!
The brand new RTX 3090 Ti is an absolute monster that smashes all of the metrics and establishes itself as the brand new king of client GPUs.
Allow us to check out a few of its stats:
The Good
- The brand new RTX 3090 Ti is a cool 10% quicker than every other client card in 4K gaming.
- It has 24GB of VRAM. That may be a tonne of VRAM. This card has extra VRAM than most PCs have of regular RAM.
The Meh
- In 1440p or 1080p gaming, the RTX 3090 Ti is barely about 5% quicker than the following step down the GPU ladder. To be honest although, in the event you purchase this card for a sub-4K display screen, you then made an error.
The Ugly
- When harassed, the RTX 3090 Ti attracts almost 500 Watts. No, you didn’t learn that fallacious, 5 hundred watts. That’s as a lot as a full mid-range PC!
- All that energy consumed means that a large quantity of warmth have to be dissipated. The heatsink for this card could be very heavy, with fashions of the cardboard weighing ~2kg. That’s ~4.5lbs!
- Not solely is the cardboard heavy, however it’s enormous. It occupies 4 slots, wew!
- It prices $2200… assuming you’ll find it in-stock.
Frankly, the cardboard’s energy draw, weight, and dimension are ridiculous. It has at all times been the case that those that need the most effective card will get a sizzling/giant card, however this one is larger and attracts extra energy than something we have now seen earlier than.
In good conscience, we can not advocate this card for something however the Monstrous tier. In case you are Rich (with the capital W) and you’ve got a 4K gaming display screen… AND you’re prepared to pay $2200 or greater for an additional 10% efficiency… nicely, nVidia has you coated.
Conclusion
We can be including the RTX 3090 Ti to the Monstrous tier of our foremost chart.
All different GPUs from Distinctive to Extremist will transfer up one spot on the web page (down a tier) to make room for this new monster.
