NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Delay Likely Linked To Full '450W' GA102 GPU Yields, APAC Retailers List Custom Models For Over $4000 US

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is going to be the most expensive graphics card ever launched with its preliminary pricing reaching over $4000 US.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Custom Graphics Cards Cost Up To $4500 US, Making It The Most Expensive GeForce To Date

We had already reported how the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti would be NVIDIA's most expensive single-chip flagship when it launches. While we are bound to hear more details later this month, it looks like a few European retailers have decided to list various custom models online. Videocardz was able to spot several Swiss and German retail outlets that are listing the MSI variant of the cards at various prices. These prices are preliminary but you also shouldn't expect the card to be priced at all around its MSRP which is going to be higher than the existing RTX 3090 ($1499 US). The prices are listed below:

Now, these prices aren't stable and vary a lot from retailer to retailer. The same MSI GeForce RTX 3090 SUPRIM X can be found for as low as $3654 USD and up to $4497 US. That's a difference of 23% and we also have to consider that all of these prices are with VAT included. Compared to the RTX 3090 prices from the same retailers, you are looking at a 30% price bump for the 'Ti' variant.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is going to be really pricey when it launches but when it launches is the bigger question since the production of custom models has reportedly been halted due to the BIOS and hardware issues. Now, these are all rumors for now and NVIDIA has stated that they will have more details to share later this month.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Graphics Card Specifications - Full Fat GA102 GPU & 24 GB GDDR6X Memory

At the heart of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card lies the GA102 GPU. The GA102 is one of the many Ampere GPUs that we will be getting on the gaming segment. The GA102 GPU is the fastest gaming GPU that NVIDIA has produced. The GPU is based on Samsung's 8nm custom process node designed specifically for NVIDIA and features a total of 28 Billion transistors. It measures 628mm2 which makes it the 2nd biggest gaming GPU ever produced right below the Turing TU102 GPU.

The new shader core on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture is 2.7x faster, the new RT cores are 1.7x faster while the new Tensor cores are up to 2.7x faster than the previous generation Turing GPUs. The 2nd Generation RT core delivers dedicated hardware-accelerated ray-tracing performance & features twice the ray/triangles intersection with concurrent RT graphics and compute operations.

For the GeForce RTX 3090, NVIDIA has enabled a total of 84 SM units on its flagship which results in a total of 10,752 CUDA cores (vs 82 SM / 10496 cores on RTX 3090 Non-Ti). In addition to the CUDA cores, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 Ti also comes packed with next-generation RT (Ray-Tracing) cores, Tensor cores, and brand new SM or streaming multi-processor units. The GPU runs at a base clock speed of 1560 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1860 MHz. The card has a TDP of 450W.

In terms of memory, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti comes packed with 24 GB of memory and that too the next-generation GDDR6X design. With Micron's latest and greatest graphics memory dies, the RTX 3090 Ti can deliver GDDR6X memory speeds of 21 Gbps. That along with a bus interface of 384-bit will deliver a cumulative bandwidth of 1008 Gbps.

The card will be available in both reference and custom flavors at launch but considering the existing market situation, expect final retail prices to vary between $3000-$3500 US. There aren't any performance numbers that NVIDIA is sharing right now but from what has been showcased, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is faster than the RTX 3090 Non-Ti and also displaces the RX 6900 XT.
