Nvidia says it offers twice the performance of the 2080, which is a huge leap in performance. It has 10GB of GDDR6X and is capable of 30 shader-tflops, 58 RT-tflops, and 238 Tensor-tflops.
The cheapest new GPU in the lineup is the RTX 3070, which has 8GB of GDDR6 memory and is capable of 20 shader-tflops, 40RT-tflops, and 163 Tensor-tflops. Interestingly, Nvidia says that this card is more powerful than the RTX 2080 Ti.
Those who want all the power can choose the RTX 3090, which Nvida winked at “BFGPU.” It has a whopping 24GB of GDDR6X memory, is capable of 36 shader-tflops, 69 RT-tflops, and 285 Tensor-tflops. Nvidia says this monster can run games at 60fps in 8K.
