Yep, Ti. The new SKU utilizes NVIDIA's largest chip from the GeForce "Ampere" graphics architecture, the GA102, and pairs it with even faster 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory; however, these changes come at a significant cost in terms of power consumption.



According to leaked information the RTX 3090 Ti Kingpin will require two 12-pin power connectors. This is the new PCIe Gen 5.0 power connector that we discussed previously. It features 12 conventional pins and four national data paths. Although the name of this connector is unknown at the moment, it appears to be entirely compatible with the existing NVIDIA 12-pin (Molex Microfit 3.0) connector.

By incorporating multiple 12-pin power connectors, the card is potentially capable of using up to 1275W of power, which is a significant increase of over 750W above a possible 3x 8-pin arrangement (max 525W). According to reports, the PCB will be drastically different than the one found on the RTX 3090 KINGPIN, and current EVGA HydroCopper water-blocks will not be compatible. Retail availability is not expected until March 2022
