RTX 3090 Ti at a glance

The RTX 3090 Ti is based on the Ampere architecture and is manufactured using the 8 nm process at Samsung. It ships with 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus , about 1 GB/s. Shader count is 10752 across 34 CU/SM. The board interface is PCIe 4.0 x16.

Reference board power is a very high 450 W with 1x 16-pin. PSU sizing must include the CPU and transient load, while the case needs unrestricted intake and exhaust.

VRAM capacity is high-end at 24 GB. That is the class you want for 4K textures, heavy ray tracing, and creator GPU memory loads.

Best fit: Mainstream 1080p high-refresh or 1440p systems with balanced CPU and display choices.

Gaming performance

RTX 3090 Ti is a mid-range gaming GPU, at 55.49% of the dataset’s best 1440p raster performance. Match it with a 1080p high-refresh or 1440p medium-high monitor.

1440p value is 30.0 performance per dollar. Nearby GPUs in the table are often better buys.
