The last 3090 was 2 slot or was it 3 slot as well? Wow! It was 3 slot as well. I don't remember that. I thought it was 2 slot with a thicker heatsink. Dang!

According to our information, the card will have a significantly higher base clock of 1560 MHz and a boost of 1860 MHz. This is respectively 12% and 10% higher than RTX 3090 non-Ti. What this means is that the card will offer up to 40 TFLOPS of single-precision compute power.

Some nicely overclocked 3080 Ti's according to the Aida64 TFLOP benchmark measure in at slightly over 40TFLOPS so I'm not really that impressed by this. To me this doesn't make a lot of sense for anyone outside maybe the extreme LN2 overclockers that are searching for those extra few hundred points in 3DMark.

Again, I'm just going to repeat myself here. The tflop rating is taking from the advertised boost clock, the tflop rating calculated in your benchmark is taken from the actual boost clock.
40tflops is with the 3090ti running at 1860mhz (this is the minimum possible clock speed that is almost impossible to reach), in reality it will be running at 2000mhz to 2100mhz, now go calculate what the real tflop rating is

LN2 overclocking is both pointless and misleading.

Someone like Kingpin will never use an AMD card even if is the fastest around because EVGA don't make them.

What's kingpin got to do with it? He works for evga of course he can't touch anyone else GPUs. Even if he buys himself an Asus 6900xt he can't post a benchmark using his name as he will get in **** for using an Asus gpu - it's not that he can't use an AMD GPU it's that he can't use an Asus/msi/gigabyte etc GPU

He can not use any AMD GPU that would put EVGA products in the shade.

Yes it's the old Titan X and Titan Xp thing all over again. It's a silly product but I guess they wanted something for CES and I have a funny feeling these are full GA102 chips that failed because they use a lot of power for A6000 cards, so they decided to sell them as 3090 ti chips or they were always binned for such cards.

I still think Nvidia had a Titan planned and then changed their mind because of what AMD did and they just moved every card up a tier.

3080 (GA102) now should have been the 3070 (GA104) (2080 before TU104), then the 3070 ti should have been their 3080 super.

3080ti (GA102) (2080ti TU102) now should have been what the 3080 spec is now but with 12GB.

3090 well I think that was their Titan X of this generation and the 3090 Ti their Titan Xp of this generation.

All **90 cards before this one were always a dual gpu card, this is first time they have called a card 90 class with a single gpu too. Of course it was meant to be a Titan but they could not sell it as that thanks to AMD and called it 90 class (or as he put it Titan class) and could charge more for it as all 90 class were very expensive cards.


I'm guessing the 3090Ti FE will either be the same price as the current 3090 FE and they drop the 3090 or they pretend to keep the 3090 and price the 3090 Ti FE $1999.99.



Anyways we will find out soon enough :-

Also lets see how our friendly rumour mill aka clickbait merchants do with their guess work (https://twitter.com/greymon55 and https://twitter.com/kopite7kimi ), he said no SLI/NVLINK on 3090 supers that later he said is a TI..

Maybe, RTX 3090 Super "GA102-350-A1 10752FP32, no NVLINK Original 21Gbps MEM TGP>=450W" Launch in 2021.

I'm saying they will have a SLI/NVLINK... and they were both making rubbish up and the rest was obvious as it is basically A6000 specs the rest of it apart from the 450w power use but again we had and have 3090s that can use way more than 450w and oc models even can have 470w+ vbios settings out of the box and you can even download 500w vbioses for them or even the silly 1000w evga vbios.

A6000, was that what used to be the Quadro series back in its day? I see it's £4,559 for it. Consumer cards are fast catching up to workstation cards.

I sure hope we'll get some true net gen card announcements soon, a true 40 series and 7900xt etc. announcement, of course it will still be impossible to get a hold of and immediately be 2-3x MSRP......

And a paper launch of the RTX 3090Ti today:

  • 24GB GDDR6X memory (utilising 21 Gpbs modules)
  • A pretty toasty TDP of 450W (100 more than on the original 3090)
  • 16-pin power connector
  • 1,860MHz clock speed offering as much as 40 TFLOPs of graphical power!
