We are getting more and more information about the flagship GeForce RTX 3090 (I hope it’s called the GeForce RTX 3090 ULTRA or ULTIMATE) where we now hear about price.
FREE GALLERY – 10 PHOTOS
According to new rumors, we are looking at a price of 1999 $ for the flagship GeForce RTX 3090 from NVIDIA (that is intended 40-50% faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti), where if it actually functions 24GB next-gen GDDR6X memory at an absolutely blistering 21Gbps from Micron then the price seems almost equal.
NVIDIA priced its Turing-based TITAN RTX graphics card with 24GB of GDDR6 memory at $ 2499, so it would make sense to offer a faster card this time around for less money. It will give NVIDIA more leeway between the GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090 prices, without completely cutting off the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at the knees.
- What does NVIDIA do with all those 21 announcements? I’m a very numerological nerd in some ways, so it helps to decipher at least some of it – which I did here. (GeForce) 256 x 21 (day / year celebration) = 5376 (GPU cores in proposed GA102 GPU), and 5 + 3 + 7 + 6 = 21.
- What about “ULTIMATE”? That’s the other thing – does NVIDIA mean this will be the “ultimate graphics card”, or does it mean we can expect an ULTIMATE graphics card? GeForce RTX 3090 ULTIMATE has a nice ring to it … just to say.
- Where can I tune in to the special event of GeForce? NVIDIA will premiere the special event that will be broadcast on September 9 at 9AM PT, hosted by none other than NVIDIA CEO and founder Jensen Huang. you can tune in right here.
Highest: RTX 3090 PCB + GDDR6X @ 21Gbps
- The PCB of the RTX 3090: A juicy leak of the attached PCB of a custom variant of the GeForce RTX 3090 leaks out a few days ago. It is reported that the COLORFUL iGame GeForce RTX 3090 Vulcan-X. You can see that this model has 3 x 8-pin PCIe power connectors, as opposed to the RTX 3090 Founders Edition which just needs to pack a single 12-pin PCIe power connector.
- Micron opens RTX 3090 name, 24GB GDDR6X memory @ 21Gbps: I’m sure this is part of the marketing, otherwise all of our tech media websites would get calls from lawyers, but Micron revealed them next-gen GDDR6X memory that the GeForce RTX 3090 (he recognizes the card by name) will be clocked at a bone-high 21Gbps.
Wait, a 12-pin PCIe plug connector?

- Traversal coprocessor: We’ve had more leaks about NVIDIA’s next-gen GeForce RTX 3000 series than any other graphics card before, with an interesting “traversal coprocessor” on the new GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards. you can read more about it here.
- NVCache: Ampere is meant to have something called NVCache, which would be NVIDIA’s own form of AMD’s HBCC (High Bandwidth Cache Controller, more about that here). NVCache would use your system RAM and SSD to create superfide load times for games, and also optimize VRAM usage. you can read more about NVCache here.
- Tensor memory compression: NVCache is interesting, but Tensor Memory Compression will be on Ampere, and will most likely use Tensor Cores to compress and decompress items stored in VRAM. This could see a 20-40% reduction in VRAM usage, as more VRAM usage with higher textures in next-gen games and Tensor Memory Compression reduced that VRAM footprint by 20-40%.
- How fast is the GeForce RTX 3090?? Freaks fast according to rumors, with 60-90% more performance than the current Turing-based flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. We could jump this enormous performance into titles of raytracing, but we’ll have to wait a little longer to see how much graphics power NVIDIA craps in these new cards. you can read more about those rumors here.
- Power hungry: In terms of power consumption, GA102 reports 230W – while 24 GB GDDR6X (what we should see on the new Ampere-based TITAN RTX) consumes 60W power. you can read more about it here.
- Production will begin shortly: NVIDIA is reported in the DVT (as Design Validation Test) range of its new GeForce RTX 3000 series graphics cards. Mass production kicks off report in August 2020, with a media event, benchmarks, and more in September 2020 as I predicted many months ago. More about this here.
I’ve already written about rumors of that NVIDIA’s next gen Ampere GPU architecture would be up to 75% faster than GPUs with current gen such as the Turing architecture, right after rumored that Ampere would offer 50% more performance at half the power of Turing. This is very crazy thing right now.
Not only that, but we have something called specifications on the designated GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 graphics cards, both of which will be powered by NVIDIA’s new Ampere GPU architecture.
We’ve heard that before Ampere would offer 50% more performance at half the power of Turing, who sent the hairs on my neck. Better yet, you can read about the leaky specs on the proposed Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3070 here.
