nVidia: Announcing the RTX 3090Ti.
New World: Drooling excessively.

go home nvidia
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So the rumors were true.
Why sell more cheaper gpus when you can just sell the same at super premium . It's only logic for corpo like nvidia now ....

6800/6800XT/6900XT/6900XTXH are all litterally the same card 🙄

3090TI Stupid edition...
Honestly new GPU announcement are not exciting or make any sense anymore...

the last one was the 3080 before we knew it was a fake release.

It's like getting a free space heater when buying this GPU.

I'm sure they have the next generation tee'd up and working on the following one with all the time they've had since the last release.
Why push anything new out when they cant keep the current generation on the shelves.
January is a great time to release a 450 watt card. You can turn down the heat and use the pc as a space heater.
The problem is in the summer when you burn 450 watts but also have to pay for the equivalent in AC to cool it.
Also to keep things in perspective, a one horsepower motor uses 735 watts. This thing uses the same energy as a 2/3rd horsepower motor.

Yea . Something in that region 🙂

When the GPU cost more than a car,that is PC Gaming baby.

Imagine a different nvidia where they announced 3050ti instead.

6800 and 6800XT are binned versions with parts of the hardware disabled as they didn't meet the 6900XT spec or for product segmentation. Much like the 3080 is a binned version of the 3090. They are technically not the same now, but they began as the same.
The 6900XT and the XTXH are the same chips that meet a higher spec but essentially the same chips on a finished hardware level.
This 3090Ti is just their "XTXH" version of the normal 3090, with higher board power and a shiny new connector for you to struggle to hide.

GPUs are at a premium. Nvidia needs SKUs like this to justify even sillier prices. No point for them to waste good dies on lower tier cards for less money.

At first I thought this was so incredibly stupid, but when you consider the cost and power consumption of a dual-3080Ti setup, suddenly, it makes a little more sense.
Key word is "a little". It still doesn't make sense. This is more of a "because we can" device, but is really impractical.
It also starts to make more sense when you realize Nvidia is likely just increasing their profits selling top-binned chips at a higher price that are guaranteed to be sold.

OMG can't wait for the Strix OC version. 550W maybe?
For that 550W you might just get 10% more fps than a 3080ti 🙂
CPC_RedDawn
fixed 😉

3090 is already getting fried by new world with the current power consumption playing with a 3090ti might cause nuclear meltdown.
Mineria
Yet the cards that get fried are those who got a bad design/components, it has nothing in common with Nvidia apart from that they might need to be a tad stricter with their AIB partners, but then some will whine about harder limits instead.
ViperAnaf
actually go watch some videos online - you will see that some part of the reference design might be causing the problem....
