MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X review

It's been brewing for a while now, a 'Ti' model of the GeForce RTX 3090. The flagship series is further improved, with faster memory, more shaders, and an increased TGP sitting in the 450-500 Watt range. MSI is offering a GeForce RTX 3090 SUPRIM X edition graphics card that has been over-engineered. Extremely fine-tuned significant power distribution and an incredibly quiet card for a device in this enthusiast class. That, and 24 GB of the fastest GDDR6X RAM money can buy. What benefits will a product with a beefed-up 10752 shader core provide?

Tell that to competitive gamers. But I agree, this is more of a 4K GPU than a 1080p@300Hz GPU.
"need" is too strong of a word.
The problem with these cards is what they represent. In the most optimistic scenario, it shows Nvidia is trying to squeeze every last bit of performance out of this generation. But the moment you let reality sink in, you realize that it's just an easy money grab for anyone vain enough to think they "need" this. Or, Nvidia trying to maximize profit from the mining market. Worst-case scenario, it shows that Nvidia is running out of ideas on how to cram in more performance. Considering the rumored TDP ratings of the 4090, this notion starts to sound more like the truth of the matter. This does not instill confidence.
These dies are massive. Yes, they most certainly are taking up production capacity away from other models. I'd be real curious to know how many 3070 Tis could be made on a single wafer compared to 3090 Tis. A 3070 Ti is an excellent GPU to have for most people.
Except we're not in 2017 anymore. Scalpers and miners keep buying everything in stock, thereby skewing what the vast majority of the market is willing to spend. The price points are stupid even at the low end. Case in point, $200 for a 6500XT is ridiculous. I'd have a hard time justifying that GPU at half the price.
you nailed each point

1) i love tech
2) i'm not a "hater"
3) i only buy high end enthusiast class gpus since the GTX 690 ($1k in 2012 dollars) when i first ran 1440p
what a difference 10 years have made!
that GTX 690 was the precursor to the RTX 3090ti, but unlike the 3090ti the 690 made sense at the time.
the 3090ti is the equivalent of a insta user who's a fame whore.

Holy power hungry card and 4 slots for cooling. Is fine this is just a halo product for a few who will buy it and for those who run benchmarks , I retired from extreme overclocking so this card does not apply to my needs as my Strix 3090 OC water cooled will be doing a nice job for years to come.
Now imagine a sff built around this heat monster card + 12900k + ddr5 = Toaster on high
