Wow... It looks exactly like a TUF 3090... Who could've possibly ever guessed???

It's just going to be another unicorn that'll get scalped like hell, so best not to hold your breath. Wait for the 4000 series

I would say skip upcoming GPU more i think about. Target the 2023/2024 ones. It's higher probability you will want Meteorlake/LunarLake and AMD equivalent. You got Intel, AMD, Nvidia and everything should be better supply/logistics wise.

Oooh look a gpu we can't buy lol

Although last week the MC by me got a 250 card shipment in one day. Was able to pickup the LAST 3090 TUF OC 2 days after the shipment . It's crazy because they don't announce it, nor do they even show any of the cards in stock on the website, they literally just had a handwritten piece of paper on the empty gpu cabinet (cards are all behind the counter) showing what cards they had in stock and the price. They just crossed them out as they sold out and didn't show the any quantities of individual cards.

Seems reasonable. They don't want massive hordes to be raiding their stores, after all. Best to give people who come in person first dibs at the cards rather than online scalpers.

How much did you manage to get it for?

This is 8800 Ultra all over again.

Well at Microcenter the hordes aren't as bad (at least for GPUs) since it it one gpu per household per 30 days. So you must have an ID to purchase the card and whoever shows their ID must be the purchaser. It works pretty well I'd as 250 cards lasted 2 whole days lol.

$2129 + 6% tax so about $2257. Everything is insanely overpriced so I might as well get the card that is the best at everything that people are buying gpus for (gaming/rendering/mining).

 

[Cryptedvick]

I wonder what kind of obscene price this is gonna have in Europe. A 3090 TUF is already like 4700 USD retail.

450 Watts TDP, wow. That's without any overclocking and it's air-cooled, your case better have some great airflow to dissipate that kind of heat. Will it be 3 8-pin PCIe connectors?

It'll be great to have 450 Watts TDP during the winter, not so much during the summer....

 

[8051]

Do corporate mining interests buy direct from the AIB or Nvidia itself? What's the minimum order to qualify for bulk discounts? A thousand cards?

 

[gecko991]

Miners going to love this.

 

[Piers]

If the performance increase is anything like the 3080 -> 3080 Ti, expect a ~9% increase for twice the price.

 

[Martin778]

There is something else some folks are waiting for with the 3090Ti - double density VRAM that gets rid of the chips at the back of the PCB.

Realistically 3090 already is a 450W+ card, it is criminally power starved at 350W. This is exactly the reason why it is only 8-10% faster than 3080. Give both proportional power limits and the difference goes to 18-20% as it should be. So basically 3090 Ti is what 3090 should have been if Nvidia wasn't afraid of 450W TDP, plus no memory on both sides of the PCB nonsense as a bonus.

Still cannot see any point of such late releases though, even if the cards were available. We are like 10 months away from 40 series announcement and they come up with a new flagship, like what for?

And after everyone sinks their money into this, the last drop will be squeezed by Nvidia with the RTX Titan....

Same could be said for 3080 and 3080 Ti. Both are power limited especially at 4K.

 

[zzztopzzz]

Lemme guess. About $2295 plus your 1st born.

Sounds too cheap to me....Zotac Trinity 3090 OC are like 2599 msrp lol
