Some Amped up Graphics Cards

GeForce RTX 3090

The products themselves then. Let us start with the flagship, the GeForce RTX 3090 comes with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory running on a 384-bit bus at 19.5 Gbps, and that boils down towards 936 GB/s of effective memory bandwidth. The GPU enabling it is the GA102-300 GPU, and it holds a comprehensive 10469 shader cores. The clock frequency for the shader cores will tick at 1695 MHz alongside a 350W TGP rating, remember that's not a TDP. The TGP (total graphics power) describes the maximum amount of graphics board power that the system power supply should be able to provide to the graphics card.  We know this card to get a 20-phase power design based on leaked PCB designs.

GeForce RTX 3080

The GeForce RTX 3080 is based on the GA102-200 GPU and would get 8704 shader cores clocking in at 1710 MHz. This card sees 10GB GDDR6X memory fitted, and it is running at 19 Gbps. So that is a 320-bit bus, which is still a gnarly whopping 760 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Rated at a TGP of 320W, the card is connected with dual 8-pin connectors and thus might not use that 12-pin connector. With just these specifications, it should be as fast as the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. We know this card to get an 18 phase power design.

GeForce RTX 3070

The GeForce RTX 3070 is built around a GA104-300 GPU; it has a (still) bulky 5888 Shader cores running at 1.73 GHz. It would get last-gen 8GB GDDR6 memory that runs at 16 Gbps speed on a 256-bit bus. The timeframe for release is in September as well.  As we mentioned earlier, we expect an 8nm node fabrication; the card will become available in October for 499 USD.
