NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition Graphics Card

Product Information

You’ll also have to be willing to put up with the quirky power connector issues, fast CPU requirements, and getting it to fit your case. Whether you're rendering complex 3D scenes, editing 8K video, or seamlessly connecting and collaborating with NVIDIA Omniverse ™, GeForce RTX GPUs give you the performance to create your best. Embedded with the latest in RT cores, Tensor Cores, and streaming multiprocessors, which when all combined will make your favourite AAA titles look the best they ever have. Availability gets more complicated: The GeForce RTX 4090 has been steadily sold out since its October 12 launch, making acquiring one a game of “catch me if you can. Never assume wattage draw as even though your PC may be consuming 160W, the power supply has internal losses converting from AC to DC voltage that could be actually pulling 200W from the wall, if using 80% efficiency as an example.

Connect, play, capture, and watch in brilliant HDR at resolutions up to 8K with GeForce RTX 3090 Ti or RTX 3090. It will be especially useful with ray tracing, which traditionally gives you a performance penalty – but that can be negated with DLSS 3. The RTX 4090 has recently come under scrutiny with its new 16-pin 12VHPWR power adapter, as some remote cases have shown some users with some melting problems due to the cable potentially being bent.

There isn't much left to say other than this is a huge, powerful and extremely expensive way to add a graphics card to your gaming PC, but with the addition of a reasonably quiet cooler, low temperatures and a potentially very useful feature in DLSS 3. Adding in DLSS and we have yet more impressive numbers compared to the RTX 3090 Ti and strangely here the RTX 4090 lost a lot of its lead. Having written for a number of publications such as PC Plus, PC Format, T3 and Linux Format, there's no aspect of technology that Matt isn't passionate about, especially computing and PC gaming. While the 3090 and 3090 Ti contain some flavor of this technology, they are not powerful enough to convincingly pull off DLSS 3.

It’s powered by Ampere—NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture—doubling down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced Ray Tracing (RT) Cores, 3rd generation Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors. Note: The above specifications represent this GPU as incorporated into NVIDIA's Founders Edition or reference graphics card design.Ray Tracing simulates the behaviour of light within your favourite games, to bring real-time cinematic quality rendering.
