NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition Graphics Card

Product Information

The performance is garbage and i can't get it above 105mh without risking serious damage to the chip.

Stepping up to 4K saw the RTX 4080 leapfrog the RX 6900 XT and would be the pick over the RX 6950 XT too given it offered a much higher average frame rate again. Having written for a number of publications such as PC Plus, PC Format, T3 and Linux Format, there's no aspect of technology that Matt isn't passionate about, especially computing and PC gaming. However, the RTX 4080 was also quicker than anticipated, sticking close to the flagship in a lot of benchmarks and often enjoying huge leads over the RTX 3090 Ti, leaving a huge gulf between it and the RTX 3080. We're also rounding up the best cheap gaming laptop deals available as well if you want mobile versions of other RTX 30 series video cards.

According to my calculations, the rest of my PC takes up to 160W, so it leaves 490W headroom for GPU with any power spikes, so after UV it should be well within 80% power draw margin. There isn't much left to say other than this is a huge, powerful and extremely expensive way to add a graphics card to your gaming PC, but with the addition of a reasonably quiet cooler, low temperatures and a potentially very useful feature in DLSS 3. Anyway, most used RTX3090s seem sketchy and of unknown origin, so I'm going with the Asus Strix 3080Ti 12GB and hope it's enough VRAM for a few years.

The newcomer arrived shortly after the release of the previous top dog, but there’s a lot more to the story. It’s powered by Ampere—NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture—doubling down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced Ray Tracing (RT) Cores, Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors. The last thing i did was benchmark the GPU and sure enough it doesn't even perform above the 8th percentile in comparison to every other 3090 GPU out there. Yep, the RTX 4090 absolutely crushes anything that came before it in an almost “meme-tastic,” hilarious way. Acquire targets faster, react quicker, and increase aim precision through a revolutionary suite of technologies built to reduce and measure system latency for competitive games.

While the 3090 and 3090 Ti contain some flavor of this technology, they are not powerful enough to convincingly pull off DLSS 3.
