Asus takes the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and gooses it to significantly better execution levels with a production line overclock. It’s currently the quickest illustrations card we’ve tried, yet we’re approaching the sendoff window for cutting edge GPUs. That, in addition to the excessive cost and power draw settle on this card a profoundly sketchy decision.

The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti sent off about fourteen days back, and we’re at last finished with our testing and assessment. It presently rules as the ruler of illustrations cards, outperforming its 3090 ancestor by up to 10% — gave you’re trying at 4K. However, that exhibition includes some major disadvantages, and not simply with regards to dollars. The RTX 3090 Ti likewise accepts the crown as the absolute most power hungry GPU we’ve at any point tried (excluding double GPU arrangements like the 2014-period Titan Z), stretching the boundaries of how much squeeze an illustrations card can swallow.

In the event that all you need is the quickest GPU conceivable, productivity be condemned, this is presently the best designs card and the top arrangement in our GPU benchmarks order. Yet, similar as sports vehicle lovers would take a gander at a Ferrari or Lamborghini without any goal of getting one, most PC gamers will need to stay with the RTX 3080 or RTX 3080 Ti and give this a pass.

Like the new RTX 3080 12GB, Nvidia decided not to test commentators straightforwardly for the RTX 3090 Ti. It recommended contacting the AIC (include card) accomplices, and Asus provided us with its RTX 3090 Ti TUF Gaming OC. Maybe part of the explanation Nvidia didn’t test is on the grounds that load up accomplice models will by and large perform better on account of processing plant overclocks, and could try and run calmer because of bigger coolers. Here is a glance at the specs for the different cards that conceivably rival the 3090 Ti.

The RTX 3090 Ti addresses the zenith of Nvidia’s Ampere design, highlighting the now completely empowered GA102 GPU. That is a similar GPU in the 3090, 3080 Ti, and the two variations of the 3080, just with two additional SMs contrasted with the GeForce RTX 3090 that sent off way back in September of 2020. after 19 months, we’re getting a minor lift to center counts, an unobtrusive lift to clock speeds — on both the GPU and the GDDR6X memory — and a somewhat huge kick in the jeans to the cost and power utilization.

That last piece is somewhat fascinating. We as of late covered some testing by Igor’s Lab where he restricted the 3090 Ti to 300W. It dropped execution down to the level of the RTX 3080 Ti, yet with lower power than the RTX 3080 and, surprisingly, AMD’s RX 6800 XT (utilizing non-reference cards). Nvidia has really gone similarly far as conceivable to one side on the voltage, power, and recurrence bend, managing with the last couple of ounces of execution. Then Asus takes that somewhat further and extracts another 90MHz from the chip.

We truly do need to think about the amount of the power goes to the GDDR6X memory, which is infamous for utilizing power and creating heat. Nvidia has changed to 16Gb modules evaluated at 21Gbps for the 3090 Ti, so the memory can be in every way on one side of the PCB and accordingly profits by further developed cooling — and we considered that in our testing to be well, with the Asus card never getting above 100C on the GDDR6X, paying little mind to responsibility. We even overclocked the memory to 23Gbps regardless remained under 100C while running a mining test — however just oversaw 124 MH/s supported for Ethereum, which is only 2 MH/s higher than a decent RTX 3090, notwithstanding the distinction in memory speed.

On paper, the RTX 3090 Ti is 12% quicker than the 3090 on process and has 8% more memory data transfer capacity. Running in OC mode (not the default Gaming mode), Asus attaches 5% in center clocks, importance in principle the card could depend on 18% quicker than the reference RTX 3090. By and by, it will be a considerable amount not exactly that, as we’ll see soon.

Asus gave its GeForce RTX 3090 Ti TUF Gaming OC(opens in new tab) for this survey, an enormous card that incorporates the generally normal (for an outrageous GPU) triple fans, and possesses 3.2 openings. It’s not exactly as thick as the RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition, which is marginally more slender however weighs 2189g (or possibly, that is the very thing that the 3090 FE gauged) and gauges 313x138x57 mm. The Asus card steers the result at ‘just’ 1676g, for all intents and purposes a featherweight! Yet, it measures 326x104x63mm. It’s a truly noteworthy card, which is somewhat of a given considering the silicon and its cooling needs.

The bundling is similarly forcing, with a long box that comprises of a sheath over a somewhat uncommon inside box that has slashed off corners. It looks to some degree cool, yet it was entirely hard to open. For something about to wind up on a rack or reusing focus, Asus likely might have stayed with a conventional box.
