Competition for the RTX 3090: NVIDIA's new graphics card should be a monster

The GeForce 30 series is a series of graphics chips of the firm NVIDIA as well as follower to the GeForce 20 series. All graphics processors are based on the ampere architecture as well as sustain the shader model 6.5 according to DirectX 12 Ultimate. The graphics cards were formally offered on 1 September 2020.

The current fastest graphics card for gamers is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090. But that could change in a few months. According to some insider sources, NVIDIA in January to bring the RTX 3090 TI to the start, which again offers more power. Also, first details about the new gaming GPU were already lasted.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti: Still faster, still power hungry

Nvidia's next graphics card generation should only go to the start in autumn 2022 — but that does not mean that the company keeps the feet still quiet. According to some insider information, not only the 3-year-old RTX 2060 will be reissued again, in January 2022 will also appear another new graphics card: The RTX 3090 Ti.

The previously secret graphics card model is an improved version of NVIDIA previous flagship: the RTX 3090. First technical details on the new TI variant should also be lasted. Thus, the rumor kitchen assumes that will increase the memory clock frequency from 19.5 to 21 GHz, which should also be positively affected by the memory bandwidth. Instead of 936 GB / S, values ​​of 1,008 GB / s are to be achieved. Thus, the RTX 3090 Ti would still be far from Nvidia's new mining graphics card in this area, the power plus can still be seen.

Also, slightly increased according to the sources the number of tensor and RT nuclei needed for the use of ray tracing and DSS. But the number of normal CUBA cores continues to increase from 10,496 to 10,752. However, the improved hardware simply ensures higher power consumption. While the RTX 3090 works with a TDP of 350 watts, the RTX 3090 Ti should reach a value of 450 watts.

What otherwise important in the world of technology and the games happened, we summarize briefly and flush for you in the Gig Headlines:

New NVIDIA card triggers the biggest problem of RTX 3090

Although the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 offers astonishingly much performance, but has been struggling with a big problem since its release: the arrangement of the GDDR6x memory modules. Since 24 individual, 1 GB chips had to be accommodated on the map, the memory was attached to both the front and the back. The problem: The memory on the back became very fast hot and achieved temperatures of over 100 degrees Celsius.

With the RTX 3090 Ti, it should no longer be coming to this problem, as Nvidia seemed to be on storage units in the new model, which are 2 GB. In other words, only 12 memory modules are needed, all of which can be found on the front of the graphics card space and thus are better cooled (Source: Videocam).

Hardware crisis escalates: AMD & Nvidia graphics cards are still more expensive

So far, the technical information on the RTX 3090 Ti is still around unknown information, which are considered with caution. What the rumor kitchen is guilty of us is an indication of the EIA of the new NVIDIA graphics card. However, PC players can assume that this can not serve as orientation for true market prices anyway during the hardware crisis. Gig keeps you up to date.
