$2200 is what I paid for my whole ass PC--and even that I know I overpaid, but premades with a 3070/5900X in the height of the GPU apocalypse was about as decent a price as I was liable to find it.
In 2010 I was able to buy a flagship GPU (That 'only' needed 2x 6-pin) as a student and still afford to eat the remainder of the semester... 12 years later, I'd prefer to not spend in excess of a month's wages before tax on a GPU Thanks nVidia
@@TheSaintsVEVO I remember how crazy it seemed to actually pay over $600 for that card. Other than the single outlier of the 8800Ultra, cards for so long (at least single-GPU cards) had settled into a nice spot where $300 got you something nice in the upper-middle range, and going flagship meant spending maybe a little over $400. Now $300 buys you something on the secondhand market that was midrange 5 years ago and $600 is practically the price of entry to buy any new GPU.

I paid $1700 (tax included) for my 3080 ti. And I love it 🙂. Have it overclocked for an average 5% performance bump. That already beats a stock 3090 and only puts it 7.8% short of the 3090 ti for the games i play at 4k 120hz. From the UA-cam 4k gaming benchmarks I've seen and my calculations from my own 3080 ti 4k gaming benchmarks with modest overclock. I'll wait til 4080ti in 2023 🤣☠️. And that'll be faster than 3090 ti and at a lower price - probably the price of current 3080 ti. And that seems the more strategic choice for me. And for others with a 3080ti lol.

Early leaks about the 3090ti were that it was going to be a boutique card purely to remind the public that Nvidia is still "on top" in terms of performance. Low and behold, just like Paul demonstrated, it tops the benchmarks, but at what cost? Two year old technology with insane power draw and a price clearly designed for a small market segment. It's just not worth it. This is why I don't get excited for niche hardware like this, no matter how good it is... And even "good" is debatable given the alternatives and what the average user needs to game comfortably.
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j 1000? They'll sell 1000 just to high end compute companies in Asia Pacific alone. As Steve at Gamer Nexus suggests, it's not for gamers, it's an RTX Titan that is just made available to gamers, irrespective of how it is marketed.
New atx connector 12+4oin can feed upto 600W to gpu. Its told to be futu3of computing, but I dont think its going to be future of low end gaming gpus. Anyway current latest budget Nvidia is 3050 with 130W, so nobody knows what gpu makers going to try to sell as budget and at what their created budget level of prices. I have feeling that gpu technology doesnt catch design and demand reasonable level of energy saving. I remember passively cooled gpus with heatsinks only, although it was told, those not recommended for gaming, still power draw looked lower overall.
This is especially crazy when you think just how much graphics power Apple have managed to get into their M1 chips while using a fraction of the power for the ENTIRE SoC, never mind a CPU, RAM, Motherboard etc all on top of an already power hungry GPU.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to spend that kind of money for a 10% upgrade, assuming they already have a 3090. 3090s are best used for 3D movie production with their huge amount of memory.
Don't belive it, it's only like 1% more cudas and 1% faster memory it's obviusly due to the clocks , if you have a non reference 3090 the diference is les than 2-3% in performance, I mean if you have a good card you can unlimit the power draw and basically have the same card.... anyways incredible disrespectfull move from Nvidia to us (3090) owners that pay an incredible amount of extra and unworth money to have the best GPU of the GEN and now they drop this at the end of the gen....
@@randomhobbies5796 I got the 3090 evga ftw3 ultra, I swaped the thermalpads for the vram and it's pretty cold with normal airflow and rocks at 2'1+ ghz with better performance on some games that the 3090ti showed in this video
My favorite benchmarks are the one where in 2K the card reaches close to 300 fps, as if there are any monitors that could even display such an increase in performance. I'm still chilling with my rtx 3080, I honestly don't know what the 3090 ti was made for but I guess yeah it does a really good job at it.
I think Paul's right. It's a halo product among halo products, designed to stage off the 6900 XT from claiming it's the best for the last few months before next gen comes out.
its made for 4K, and for that a lot of these cards are still not even good enough to keep 60+ in all scenarios. 4090ti is where it will be at for that sweet 4k 144hz
It's made to test a 2k msrp and also to see if people will pay an extra 500 dollars for up to 10% gains. Wait 6 months and get the 40 series or 70 series cards.
To celebrate the 3090ti launch I've been watching the reviews through an old Pentium m 755, intel extreme 2 graphics, and 2 gigs of ddr running at 400mhz in dual channel.
I'd like to see these reviews revisit the 3090 ti now that it's at $1499. It's looking a lot better at this price. I just bought one a few days ago. No regrets.
Cards becoming so thick and expensive and power hungry, means we are hitting some limits in technology. Gpu now uses more than double the power of the rest of the system. Costs the most too. Pc gaming is losing its charm like this.
@@thecrowdfunddeepdive7032 uhmm. No. Cards are using more and more power. While at the same time implementing technologies to upscale the resolution. If the hardware would have been making amazing advancements. We would see a lot more performance at the same power levels. Sure there is improvement over time. But we have seen high power usage on cards before in the past. And the only thing that can solve that is smaller transistors. But we are soon hitting limits on how small transistors can be on current technology. The solution for better performance at this point is. More chips, more power.
@Paul's Hardware: There is a lot of good detail in your chart @5:23 but a crucial detail missing is each card's launch date (or availability). If we know when things have been released we will better be able to see how performance is changing over time.
I'm so glad I found this card at this time, I've been wanting to upgrade my 6 year old CPU for 3 years now, and I'm finally starting to build my super tower. This coupled with a 5800X3D and 32G 3800 CL16 DDR4 all on a Dark Hero... liquid cooled. I cant wait for this card to come in.
That's gonna be a beast, bro. I ordered mine on Amazon now that it got discounted and I let go of my XFX 6900 XT Limited Black, which was a total powerhouse. Price hurts, but I already learned from 2020. Grab a lifeboat for when the tide rises, because land won't be seen for a while. 😩
@@gulfmclarenf1296 Yeah I've been using it, it's a big fucking card.. too bad my super tower doesn't support a 3 slot gpu vertically. But it's flawless. What an upgrade!
I've had my eye on this card since I saw your video on the giveaway build you put this card in. Happy to say that after months of being patient and checking Amazon literally everyday, I just bought this card for $1200 brand new on Amazon. Yay!!
I just got the EVGA's FTW3 Ultra's 3080 Ti for $1,080 off Amazon new, at the end of July 2022. The 3090 ti of same spec was 1700 at the time, 2 weeks later the 3090 ti FTW3 U was $120 difference! Since I needed the extra memory for work it was an easy decision. 3080TI is no slouch though esp. the FTW3 version. At the time, (august 5th 2022) $120 trade-upgrade, for this amazing brickhouse made some sense The ftw3U 3090 Ti is very quiet and cool with less pass-through cooling, opting for a blower design with the super THICK backplate.... Thanks for the content! I hope you all are able to get what you've needed/wanted after these rough few years!
Checked the Nvidia store and not only was it in stock (first time ever), it remained in stock 10 minutes later. This benchmark alone is enough to show even the bots think it's not worth purchasing.
My only complaint w the new card is that none of them have USB-C outputs. As someone who uses pen displays, I miss being able to use only one cable lol
The Suprim X is the fastest air cooling based variant you will be able to find by a couple of fps (5fps difference maybe). I also ordered one and it should arrive in a few days. Actually, I already ordered the card before, but it was dead on arrival and had to be sent back, now a new one directly from MSI is supposed to arrive in the coming days. The 12 gigs of my current Asus rog Strix OC 3080ti are not nearly enough, especially for my modding use. Just playing modded Skyrim in 4k makes 12 gigs of vram look like a complete joke and it becomes a stutter fest, unfortunately. I already was skeptical if it would be enough when I got it, but people talked into me and I decided to get it. Big mistake when I look back now.
I'll stick with my 6900 XT from XFX, my benchmarks on that card are higher than the 3090 and just barely under the 3090 Ti when comparing to your results (except ray tracing). I'm very happy with it so far minus ray tracing performance. As my first AMD GPU, I am very impressed. I'm a believer now. AMD is better than I was led to believe a year ago.
RDNA 1 had a rough start with the drivers, but they got ironed out. RDNA 2 was full steam ahead, and if rumors are to believed, RDNA 3 may take the raster performance crown entirely. I'm expecting Ampere-or-better levels of ray-tracing.
AMD is very competitive in the current gen and it’s only looking to get hotter. The main edge that NVidia currently has isn’t so much in raw performance but software and tech. Stuff like Ray tracing, DLSS, DSR, cuda, etc. are the main selling points for team green right now. But AMD is doing great with their cards, and are hopefully catching up in the tech department.
I only play in optimized games like escape from tarkov and as they are a smaller companies that make these games they tend to run much much better on intel cpu/nvidia gpu systems makes amd a non starter unfortunately. I love what amd did with 5th gen ryzen and may purchase a 5800x3d to upgrade a 2600x system I have laying around.
Well, I've already said that I think these are worth it over the 3090 based on improved designs, but the benchmarks actually are somewhat impressive; the 3090Ti really does make the difference between playable and not playable at 4K or consistent 120 at 1440p EDIT: I'm looking at the 1% lows, btw
Great video, I'm like 130 :-) Thanks for including MSFS2020 benchmarks because it's the only value we MSFS2020 VR flyers need to know. Now those prices need to drop or better to wait for the 4090...
I was lucky enough to pick up the regular SUPRIM 3090 back then. The beefy 2.5 slot cooler in that was already very good. I wonder if this crazy overkill 3.5 slot cooler is just a dumb way to differentiate it, lol.

Great review Paul! It would be interesting to see performance per watt by generation- the wattages on new high end cards just keep going up - are Nvidia running out of runway on a per CUDA core perspective, does just adding more cores add performance in a linear fashion; or are the cores themselves are becoming more performant?
Yah I just got this a few days ago and I couldn’t believe how friggin big this beast is. Had to switch my front fans just so it would fit. And since I only paid a grand for this card I’d say it’s was pretty bang for buck. More so when this card was 2 grand just a few months ago.
Being a 3090 owner, I hope that with this release nVidia does a little more tuning for the 3090 to eek out a little more performance to consistently get it above the 3080ti.
Hi Paul! Why don't You include graphs with FPS/US dollar and Watt/FPS. It will be much easier for us consumers to pick where you get most "bang" for the buck. Best to you, and thank you for a great channel.
Thank you for not feeding the meme, and also for keeping benchmarks entertaining by avoiding premature judgements during the presentation of the benchmark results.
Paul, you should really do a "catch up on GPU's" videos. With prices coming down and actual choices in stock, it would be good to know what you recommend for 1080p, high refresh 1440p etc.
I hope I don't inquire in something you've covered before, but sometime in a new video, would you please elaborate on how certain resolutions dodge being CPU bound? Thanks Paul 💪
Yes, as a financial advisor I agree with you. It is not the best Gpu for price/performance. More interested about the full hd benchmarks that show a 10% fps average improvement. Maybe the best option is to buy it on the used market when the 4000 series come out. -Niccolò Flori
Not sure if this is the place, but I have a probing Paul question: I would like to upgrade somewhere in late 2022/2023 with future-proofing and upgradeability in mind, as my 4790k + GTX 1070 is starting to show its age. My current idea is to wait for AM5 + DDR5 + PCIe 4.0 motherboard, DDR5 RAM when pricing drops next year and a 30xx/40xx GPU. How would you go about maximizing future upgradeability in a new build? Thanks!
I’m so confused as to why your 3090 is relatively scoring so low compared to other cards though? Is there something anecdotal we should know about your 3090 used in testing?
I finally got my RTX 3070Ti last week. Since I use 1440p, it's more than enough for me. Looking at the numbers, the 3090Ti is impressive, but not for $2000 more!
I'm currently planning out another build and can afford RTX 3090ti but is it worth it considering factoring in the cost of a 1200 to 1500 watt power supply and a case with good airflow. Probably not at the price to performance ratio. Back to waiting for the 3080 to go below the $1000.
I've had an Asus ROG version for a couple weeks, from my contact in the ROC, and it's a beast like no other. A real mammoth of a card. At the max OC I was able to achieve, it was peaking at nearly 650W... for the card alone.
Could you put this GPU in an old pc with a 4 generation I7 as an example with the proper power supply and get improvement better than GTX series still how big the CPU bottle neck would it be ???????
MSI model on Ebuyer in UK is £1979.99, Zotac AMP extreme is £1,879.97, The ASUS one coming soon with AIO 240m coolers and the killer Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme waterforce with a 360m rad and AIO pump on top of an already high power draw
Pretty interesting how efficient the 3090 ti can be. Saw the Igors lab video and got myself a 3090 ti and will limit it to 300w. I mean as it’s almost the same cost as the 3090 or 3080ti and in some instances even cheaper why not
Hey Paul, I have a question as I'm watching this video. I have an EVGA Supernova 1000 P2 80+ Platinum power supply, I've used it now in 3 complete upgrades over the last 5 years of my personal rig, Do PSUs of this high-grade intensity have a life expectancy or am I doing good? I posted this on your Twitter as well.
5 years is within minimum expected. Most good ones last 7-10 years, also it doesn't just pop one day, sometimes its a slow death because it starts to lag in transient response timing, you'll know it when ya see it kinda thing tho. Anytime ya statt something that pull's a lot juice it'll start Blue screening or etc. Also something worth mentioning for PSUs like 2016 or older it may not hold up to the random spiking that the 30 series is known for. Ge the 3080 is speced for 350 watts, sometimes it spikes to 450 Watts for like 5-10ms and the psu craps the bed. Hope that's helpful!
@@Dracossaint Very cool thanks for the info and response! I have the 5900X and MSI 3090 Ventus at the moment and everything is running stable, knock on wood.

Good video... altho realistically.. i can nvr see myself buying this card even if its readily available.. think a 3080 or 6800xt/6900xt is more efficient cost to performance
Still rocking my Suprim X 3090 just fine. I am pretty sure i can pass next 2 generations with ease, Edit: Actually i was expecting a PSU higher than 1k watts for that as i use a Dark Power 12 Tita 80+ with 1k watts for the non ti 3090.
I got really lucky, I got the XFX SWFT 319 RX 6900 XT for $1099.99 from Amazon on 03/11/2022, which was a Friday. Saturday, it was back up to $1499.99 and has stayed at $1349.99 since then. I expected that it was an error in the listing, that I was going to receive a 6800 XT or 6700 XT. Sure enough, it was the real deal and it is an amazing card! Sure, the 3090 Ti is an expected beast, but this thing easily runs all my games at 4k, maxed out.
Interesting. I know OC makes a big difference too. I have a 6900Xt and 3080Ti that both respond well to an OC, getting close to your 3090 without OC. I wanted to compare my TS Extreme scores from last year if it helps (on older drivers back then). Your 6900XT Time Spy Extreme Total = 8873, Graphics = 9055. But in Oct 2021, on older drivers available back then, my Sapphire Nitro+ OC 6900XT did Total = 9091, Graphics = 10350. My card is paired with a 5800X with CPU = 5382, hurting my total. My old 6900XT Graphics score from 6 months ago beat your 3090, However your 3090 Ti is 7.5% faster than my 6900XT (my total is lower due to the 5800X). My clocks speeds are pretty darn close to what you posted for a 6900XT. In July 2021, my 6900XT with 5950X got a Total = 9634, Graphics = 9585, CPU = 9928. Graphics was not as good because the May - Sept 2021 drivers in this test sucked until closer to halloween and thanksgiving, but my CPU score almost doubled with 2x the cores. My 6900XT was still right up there with your 3080Ti. I later bought a 3080Ti for my 5950X gaming PC and moved the 6900XT to my bedroom gaming PC with 5800X, hence the newer tests on a lesser CPU. So, my main 5950X PC got the Asus ROG 3080Ti. I got this Time Spy Extreme score back in October 2021: Total = 10513 and Graphics = 10734 (beats the 10350 I had with 6900XT). The CPU = 9415 and was lower due to no OC. So my Total score with 3080Ti + 5950X = your 3090Ti + 5900X. My Graphics beats your 3090, but your 3090Ti Graphics score is 3.75% faster than my 3080Ti. EDIT TO ADD PORT ROYAL SCORES for 6900XT - note that all of my benchmarks were done months ago and none of my scores above or below are on current drivers : My 6900XT with 5950X Port Royal = 10497 in July 2021 = 5.75% faster than your stock 6900XT. Your 3080 still scored 9.5% faster than my overclocked 6900XT scored last summer. But I also know that my 6900XT with more recent drivers is 14% faster in the regular Time Spy test in the months since I bought the card May 2021. My Graphics = 19354 in May. It was 20784 with newer drivers in August 2021, then 21543 by Oct 2021. The last time I ran Time Spy after a new driver and refreshing my OC it gave me a graphics score of 22089 around Thanksgiving 2021.
own both, yes you are right, 6900 high bin = 3090 (except ray tracing) still bought msi for ray tracing. I bet there would be delays again, so can prob last a year with the msi, though it is already cheaper by now, around 2k$
If you are getting this for VR, like I did, research first, it seems there is a hardware issue that prevents this card from being normally used for VR, you will need a display port signal booster. I spent a whole day trying to use my headsets and non of them worked until I contacted nvidia and they told me the problem. It sucks.
When your GPU is almost as large as your entire computer system...you might be nerd. But seriously it is so freakishly huge that it dominates the inside of the case and becomes (in my opinion) an eyesore.
Pretty sure its just stock footage but the previews for your benchmarks in the top right are very stuttery. Is this actual gameplay from the 3090Ti as I'd class that kind of jittering as unplayable. Its notable in more than one game.
But how does it handle the Volumetric Clouds on Crusader and Microtech in Star Citizen? Reportedly the volumetric clouds bring 3090's to their knees because it renders the clouds as far as you can see. I heard this in the podcast on the "SpaceTomatoToo" UA-cam channel where he interviews UA-camr "tenpoundfortytwo" (10-42). In the podcast they discuss tenpoundfortytwo's hardware testing for Star Citizen. Currently the game is unoptimized, is heavily CPU dependent, and the volumetric clouds are the only thing that really stress GPUs.

$2200 is what I paid for my whole ass PC--and even that I know I overpaid, but premades with a 3070/5900X in the height of the GPU apocalypse was about as decent a price as I was liable to find it.
In 2010 I was able to buy a flagship GPU (That 'only' needed 2x 6-pin) as a student and still afford to eat the remainder of the semester...
12 years later, I'd prefer to not spend in excess of a month's wages before tax on a GPU
Thanks nVidia
980ti is honestly still good. Wish they still made gpus like that
@@TheSaintsVEVO I remember how crazy it seemed to actually pay over $600 for that card. Other than the single outlier of the 8800Ultra, cards for so long (at least single-GPU cards) had settled into a nice spot where $300 got you something nice in the upper-middle range, and going flagship meant spending maybe a little over $400.
Now $300 buys you something on the secondhand market that was midrange 5 years ago and $600 is practically the price of entry to buy any new GPU.
Wow this card is a performance beast and now I'll continue using my gtx 1050 ti laptop
Amazing card - but what i got out of this is my choice of getting a 6800xt was a good one.

This card makes my 3080Ti that I bought at MSRP look like a bargain.
I hear ya there
Same lol
I paid considerably over MSRP for mine. You absolutely got a bargain.
I paid $1700 (tax included) for my 3080 ti. And I love it 🙂. Have it overclocked for an average 5% performance bump. That already beats a stock 3090 and only puts it 7.8% short of the 3090 ti for the games i play at 4k 120hz. From the UA-cam 4k gaming benchmarks I've seen and my calculations from my own 3080 ti 4k gaming benchmarks with modest overclock.
I'll wait til 4080ti in 2023 🤣☠️. And that'll be faster than 3090 ti and at a lower price - probably the price of current 3080 ti. And that seems the more strategic choice for me. And for others with a 3080ti lol.
did you get a founders edition? thats what i got, paid 1199+ tax at best buy. for 1199 we pretty much stole it w what happened to gpu pricing. i couldnt believe the asus 3080ti coming in at over 2k dollars. literally damn near 1k over nvidia msrp is just plain stupid. i could have gotten the evga as well as they had both. i chose the fe as the perf difference was negligible between the 2 and the extra 220 bucks stayed in my pocket.
The 6900XT looks to be a boss of efficiency, power, and cost here.

I got one delivered today from Amazon. The EVGA FTW black gaming 3090ti is at $1,299. If you have an amazon card you get 5% cash back on it or can choose 12 payments at 0% interest. I haven't installed it yet as I had to upgrade my cpu and mb, which those don't come until next week.

Early leaks about the 3090ti were that it was going to be a boutique card purely to remind the public that Nvidia is still "on top" in terms of performance. Low and behold, just like Paul demonstrated, it tops the benchmarks, but at what cost? Two year old technology with insane power draw and a price clearly designed for a small market segment. It's just not worth it. This is why I don't get excited for niche hardware like this, no matter how good it is... And even "good" is debatable given the alternatives and what the average user needs to game comfortably.
Yeah I can’t even imagine playing games at a high enough resolution to justify this.
problem for nvidia is, miners are not paying for those prices anymore. they'll sell maybe 1000 of these gpus not much more
In 6 months this card is obsolete, totaly usless to buy now, especially considering the price.
the ozone layer has just been lost. why why why why 850 watts
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j 1000? They'll sell 1000 just to high end compute companies in Asia Pacific alone. As Steve at Gamer Nexus suggests, it's not for gamers, it's an RTX Titan that is just made available to gamers, irrespective of how it is marketed.
I must be the only one that is sick and tired of the 3 fan, too expensive, too large, too heavy, too power hungry graphics cards. They are ridiculous.
This one of this examples on which we look back some day say: what a waste of ressources
New atx connector 12+4oin can feed upto 600W to gpu. Its told to be futu3of computing, but I dont think its going to be future of low end gaming gpus. Anyway current latest budget Nvidia is 3050 with 130W, so nobody knows what gpu makers going to try to sell as budget and at what their created budget level of prices.
I have feeling that gpu technology doesnt catch design and demand reasonable level of energy saving.
I remember passively cooled gpus with heatsinks only, although it was told, those not recommended for gaming, still power draw looked lower overall.
This is especially crazy when you think just how much graphics power Apple have managed to get into their M1 chips while using a fraction of the power for the ENTIRE SoC, never mind a CPU, RAM, Motherboard etc all on top of an already power hungry GPU.
@7Skidoo [citation needed] There are separate pro cards. These are for idiots with too much money. AKA "whales".
@@gstormcz The "budget level prices" are dictated by the market, not by manufacturers. AKA "demand side economics". If the market won't buy at what the industry would like to demand, they don't sell, and then they *will* go down with the price.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to spend that kind of money for a 10% upgrade, assuming they already have a 3090.
3090s are best used for 3D movie production with their huge amount of memory.
I work in a local PC hardware shop, and there are quite a few people out there who want the latest and greatest no matter the cost.
Don't belive it, it's only like 1% more cudas and 1% faster memory it's obviusly due to the clocks , if you have a non reference 3090 the diference is les than 2-3% in performance,
I mean if you have a good card you can unlimit the power draw and basically have the same card.... anyways incredible disrespectfull move from Nvidia to us (3090) owners that pay an incredible amount of extra and unworth money to have the best GPU of the GEN and now they drop this at the end of the gen....
I got 3090 strix and it's hard to keep the vram cool plus the fans are failing now 🤦♂️
@@randomhobbies5796 I got the 3090 evga ftw3 ultra, I swaped the thermalpads for the vram and it's pretty cold with normal airflow and rocks at 2'1+ ghz with better performance on some games that the 3090ti showed in this video
High resolution VR sim racing and flight sims. That’s what I want if for.
My favorite benchmarks are the one where in 2K the card reaches close to 300 fps, as if there are any monitors that could even display such an increase in performance. I'm still chilling with my rtx 3080, I honestly don't know what the 3090 ti was made for but I guess yeah it does a really good job at it.
I think Paul's right. It's a halo product among halo products, designed to stage off the 6900 XT from claiming it's the best for the last few months before next gen comes out.
its made for 4K, and for that a lot of these cards are still not even good enough to keep 60+ in all scenarios. 4090ti is where it will be at for that sweet 4k 144hz
You people can't just stop complaining. Imagine whining because the card produces very high FPS in 1440p. It's better, it will last longer, slow one.
In what game?
It's made to test a 2k msrp and also to see if people will pay an extra 500 dollars for up to 10% gains. Wait 6 months and get the 40 series or 70 series cards.
To celebrate the 3090ti launch I've been watching the reviews through an old Pentium m 755, intel extreme 2 graphics, and 2 gigs of ddr running at 400mhz in dual channel.
I'd like to see these reviews revisit the 3090 ti now that it's at $1499. It's looking a lot better at this price. I just bought one a few days ago. No regrets.

@@AR-tj1no it will be fun! Enjoy my friend! 👍
Cards becoming so thick and expensive and power hungry, means we are hitting some limits in technology. Gpu now uses more than double the power of the rest of the system. Costs the most too. Pc gaming is losing its charm like this.
That isn't reality. Things are advancing faster than ever. Its actually scary.
@@thecrowdfunddeepdive7032 uhmm. No. Cards are using more and more power. While at the same time implementing technologies to upscale the resolution. If the hardware would have been making amazing advancements. We would see a lot more performance at the same power levels. Sure there is improvement over time. But we have seen high power usage on cards before in the past. And the only thing that can solve that is smaller transistors. But we are soon hitting limits on how small transistors can be on current technology. The solution for better performance at this point is. More chips, more power.

@Paul's Hardware: There is a lot of good detail in your chart @5:23 but a crucial detail missing is each card's launch date (or availability). If we know when things have been released we will better be able to see how performance is changing over time.
I'm so glad I found this card at this time, I've been wanting to upgrade my 6 year old CPU for 3 years now, and I'm finally starting to build my super tower. This coupled with a 5800X3D and 32G 3800 CL16 DDR4 all on a Dark Hero... liquid cooled. I cant wait for this card to come in.
That's gonna be a beast, bro. I ordered mine on Amazon now that it got discounted and I let go of my XFX 6900 XT Limited Black, which was a total powerhouse.
Price hurts, but I already learned from 2020. Grab a lifeboat for when the tide rises, because land won't be seen for a while. 😩

I've had my eye on this card since I saw your video on the giveaway build you put this card in. Happy to say that after months of being patient and checking Amazon literally everyday, I just bought this card for $1200 brand new on Amazon. Yay!!
I just bought one for $1100 on Amazon 😬
I'm torn. I can't decide between this or eating for a year.
I just got the EVGA's FTW3 Ultra's 3080 Ti for $1,080 off Amazon new, at the end of July 2022. The 3090 ti of same spec was 1700 at the time, 2 weeks later the 3090 ti FTW3 U was $120 difference! Since I needed the extra memory for work it was an easy decision. 3080TI is no slouch though esp. the FTW3 version. At the time, (august 5th 2022) $120 trade-upgrade, for this amazing brickhouse made some sense The ftw3U 3090 Ti is very quiet and cool with less pass-through cooling, opting for a blower design with the super THICK backplate.... Thanks for the content!
I hope you all are able to get what you've needed/wanted after these rough few years!
Checked the Nvidia store and not only was it in stock (first time ever), it remained in stock 10 minutes later. This benchmark alone is enough to show even the bots think it's not worth purchasing.
My only complaint w the new card is that none of them have USB-C outputs. As someone who uses pen displays, I miss being able to use only one cable lol
I would personally like to see a list of all the 3090 ti variance how they would rank against each other
The Suprim X is the fastest air cooling based variant you will be able to find by a couple of fps (5fps difference maybe). I also ordered one and it should arrive in a few days. Actually, I already ordered the card before, but it was dead on arrival and had to be sent back, now a new one directly from MSI is supposed to arrive in the coming days. The 12 gigs of my current Asus rog Strix OC 3080ti are not nearly enough, especially for my modding use. Just playing modded Skyrim in 4k makes 12 gigs of vram look like a complete joke and it becomes a stutter fest, unfortunately. I already was skeptical if it would be enough when I got it, but people talked into me and I decided to get it. Big mistake when I look back now.
I'll stick with my 6900 XT from XFX, my benchmarks on that card are higher than the 3090 and just barely under the 3090 Ti when comparing to your results (except ray tracing). I'm very happy with it so far minus ray tracing performance. As my first AMD GPU, I am very impressed. I'm a believer now. AMD is better than I was led to believe a year ago.
RDNA 1 had a rough start with the drivers, but they got ironed out. RDNA 2 was full steam ahead, and if rumors are to believed, RDNA 3 may take the raster performance crown entirely. I'm expecting Ampere-or-better levels of ray-tracing.
AMD is very competitive in the current gen and it’s only looking to get hotter. The main edge that NVidia currently has isn’t so much in raw performance but software and tech.
Stuff like Ray tracing, DLSS, DSR, cuda, etc. are the main selling points for team green right now. But AMD is doing great with their cards, and are hopefully catching up in the tech department.
Same love mine also
Man your benchmarks must be so rigged😂
I only play in optimized games like escape from tarkov and as they are a smaller companies that make these games they tend to run much much better on intel cpu/nvidia gpu systems makes amd a non starter unfortunately. I love what amd did with 5th gen ryzen and may purchase a 5800x3d to upgrade a 2600x system I have laying around.
Got it brand new for $1k. Thing is nuts
You happy with yours so far?
Well, I've already said that I think these are worth it over the 3090 based on improved designs, but the benchmarks actually are somewhat impressive; the 3090Ti really does make the difference between playable and not playable at 4K or consistent 120 at 1440p EDIT: I'm looking at the 1% lows, btw
Great video, I'm like 130 :-) Thanks for including MSFS2020 benchmarks because it's the only value we MSFS2020 VR flyers need to know. Now those prices need to drop or better to wait for the 4090...
I was lucky enough to pick up the regular SUPRIM 3090 back then. The beefy 2.5 slot cooler in that was already very good. I wonder if this crazy overkill 3.5 slot cooler is just a dumb way to differentiate it, lol.
no, it needs it since it uses more power.

Nice review, as always Paul.
Just got this GPU today! thanks for the info paul!
Great review Paul!
It would be interesting to see performance per watt by generation- the wattages on new high end cards just keep going up - are Nvidia
running out of runway on a per CUDA core perspective, does just adding more cores add performance in a linear fashion; or are the cores themselves are becoming more performant?
I’ll stick with my 6900xt until the 4000 series is released
2:09 "This card has that new 𝟙𝟚𝕍ℍℙ𝕆𝕎𝔼ℝ connector" 😂😂😂
Yah I just got this a few days ago and I couldn’t believe how friggin big this beast is. Had to switch my front fans just so it would fit. And since I only paid a grand for this card I’d say it’s was pretty bang for buck. More so when this card was 2 grand just a few months ago.
For MSFS at 4K, this thing is an absolute beast!
Being a 3090 owner, I hope that with this release nVidia does a little more tuning for the 3090 to eek out a little more performance to consistently get it above the 3080ti.
Probably not😑
Didn't they already upgraded DLSS which kinda does that across the entire series ?
Hi Paul!
Why don't You include graphs with FPS/US dollar and Watt/FPS. It will be much easier for us consumers to pick where you get most "bang" for the buck.
Best to you, and thank you for a great channel.
What 3090 did you use in this test ???
Looks really bad card
Thank you for not feeding the meme, and also for keeping benchmarks entertaining by avoiding premature judgements during the presentation of the benchmark results.
I got the FTW3 Ultra 3090 Ti this morning on Newegg. Gonna do a comparison to the 3090 Kingpin.
Paul, you should really do a "catch up on GPU's" videos. With prices coming down and actual choices in stock, it would be good to know what you recommend for 1080p, high refresh 1440p etc.
3080 Ti is the class act I'm going to get... at the END of April..... Certainly no FOOL would buy it on the first.
Hey! Does the Supreme X fit on the Thermaltake Tower 100? I need your help!!!

More gains over 3090 than I expected. Good for people with more money than they'll ever need.
Did you re-test Flight Simulator with all cards? Looks like a game update effect to me (back in summer 2021).
@Paul's Hardware, can you tell if there is a big difference in any of your numbers if you would have been trying the GPU with a Win11 installation?

Yes, as a financial advisor I agree with you.
It is not the best Gpu for price/performance.
More interested about the full hd benchmarks that show a 10% fps average improvement.
Maybe the best option is to buy it on the used market when the 4000 series come out.

weird that it has such an advantage in flight simulator but not in cyberpunk? were the benchmarks accurate?
Not sure if this is the place, but I have a probing Paul question:
I would like to upgrade somewhere in late 2022/2023 with future-proofing and upgradeability in mind, as my 4790k + GTX 1070 is starting to show its age. My current idea is to wait for AM5 + DDR5 + PCIe 4.0 motherboard, DDR5 RAM when pricing drops next year and a 30xx/40xx GPU. How would you go about maximizing future upgradeability in a new build? Thanks!
I’m so confused as to why your 3090 is relatively scoring so low compared to other cards though? Is there something anecdotal we should know about your 3090 used in testing?
I have the Power Color Red Devil RX 6900xt, in OC mode, I never reached near the 94.6c that you have listed. What card are you using for your tests?
I finally got my RTX 3070Ti last week. Since I use 1440p, it's more than enough for me. Looking at the numbers, the 3090Ti is impressive, but not for $2000 more!
I'm currently planning out another build and can afford RTX 3090ti but is it worth it considering factoring in the cost of a 1200 to 1500 watt power supply and a case with good airflow. Probably not at the price to performance ratio. Back to waiting for the 3080 to go below the $1000.

I've had an Asus ROG version for a couple weeks, from my contact in the ROC, and it's a beast like no other. A real mammoth of a card. At the max OC I was able to achieve, it was peaking at nearly 650W... for the card alone.

Hey Paul, will the new intel i9-12900KS / Asus Rog Max z690 hero ddr5 support ddr5 ram higher than 5200mhz? like say 5600mhz ram?
just a question but how many times have you run these benchmarks for your average scores and fps?
After seeing the 80c I'm happy with the evga not getting above 70c at full load! Its amazing lol

true, though the aio pump noise is really an issue when not gaming. had it for a couple of days and sent it back.
Pretty interesting how efficient the 3090 ti can be. Saw the Igors lab video and got myself a 3090 ti and will limit it to 300w. I mean as it’s almost the same cost as the 3090 or 3080ti and in some instances even cheaper why not

Hey Paul, I have a question as I'm watching this video. I have an EVGA Supernova 1000 P2 80+ Platinum power supply, I've used it now in 3 complete upgrades over the last 5 years of my personal rig, Do PSUs of this high-grade intensity have a life expectancy or am I doing good? I posted this on your Twitter as well.
5 years is within minimum expected. Most good ones last 7-10 years, also it doesn't just pop one day, sometimes its a slow death because it starts to lag in transient response timing, you'll know it when ya see it kinda thing tho.
Anytime ya statt something that pull's a lot juice it'll start Blue screening or etc.
Also something worth mentioning for PSUs like 2016 or older it may not hold up to the random spiking that the 30 series is known for.
Ge the 3080 is speced for 350 watts, sometimes it spikes to 450 Watts for like 5-10ms and the psu craps the bed.
Hope that's helpful!

Just got an evga 3090 last month for msrp and I'm plenty happy with that. But I love seeing new gpus 😁
3090 aint even worth msrp for gaming as 6800xt/6900xt, or 3080 (even 3080ti) are much cheaper.
Good video... altho realistically.. i can nvr see myself buying this card even if its readily available.. think a 3080 or 6800xt/6900xt is more efficient cost to performance
Still rocking my Suprim X 3090 just fine. I am pretty sure i can pass next 2 generations with ease,
Edit: Actually i was expecting a PSU higher than 1k watts for that as i use a Dark Power 12 Tita 80+ with 1k watts for the non ti 3090.
I got really lucky, I got the XFX SWFT 319 RX 6900 XT for $1099.99 from Amazon on 03/11/2022, which was a Friday. Saturday, it was back up to $1499.99 and has stayed at $1349.99 since then. I expected that it was an error in the listing, that I was going to receive a 6800 XT or 6700 XT. Sure enough, it was the real deal and it is an amazing card! Sure, the 3090 Ti is an expected beast, but this thing easily runs all my games at 4k, maxed out.
lucky you, true
Great Video Paul, performance is spot on but the price is insane but NVIDIA regain its spot on the GPUs. Massive GPU
Interesting. I know OC makes a big difference too. I have a 6900Xt and 3080Ti that both respond well to an OC, getting close to your 3090 without OC. I wanted to compare my TS Extreme scores from last year if it helps (on older drivers back then). Your 6900XT Time Spy Extreme Total = 8873, Graphics = 9055. But in Oct 2021, on older drivers available back then, my Sapphire Nitro+ OC 6900XT did Total = 9091, Graphics = 10350. My card is paired with a 5800X with CPU = 5382, hurting my total. My old 6900XT Graphics score from 6 months ago beat your 3090, However your 3090 Ti is 7.5% faster than my 6900XT (my total is lower due to the 5800X). My clocks speeds are pretty darn close to what you posted for a 6900XT.
In July 2021, my 6900XT with 5950X got a Total = 9634, Graphics = 9585, CPU = 9928. Graphics was not as good because the May - Sept 2021 drivers in this test sucked until closer to halloween and thanksgiving, but my CPU score almost doubled with 2x the cores. My 6900XT was still right up there with your 3080Ti. I later bought a 3080Ti for my 5950X gaming PC and moved the 6900XT to my bedroom gaming PC with 5800X, hence the newer tests on a lesser CPU.
So, my main 5950X PC got the Asus ROG 3080Ti. I got this Time Spy Extreme score back in October 2021: Total = 10513 and Graphics = 10734 (beats the 10350 I had with 6900XT). The CPU = 9415 and was lower due to no OC. So my Total score with 3080Ti + 5950X = your 3090Ti + 5900X. My Graphics beats your 3090, but your 3090Ti Graphics score is 3.75% faster than my 3080Ti.
EDIT TO ADD PORT ROYAL SCORES for 6900XT - note that all of my benchmarks were done months ago and none of my scores above or below are on current drivers : My 6900XT with 5950X Port Royal = 10497 in July 2021 = 5.75% faster than your stock 6900XT. Your 3080 still scored 9.5% faster than my overclocked 6900XT scored last summer.
But I also know that my 6900XT with more recent drivers is 14% faster in the regular Time Spy test in the months since I bought the card May 2021. My Graphics = 19354 in May. It was 20784 with newer drivers in August 2021, then 21543 by Oct 2021. The last time I ran Time Spy after a new driver and refreshing my OC it gave me a graphics score of 22089 around Thanksgiving 2021.
own both, yes you are right, 6900 high bin = 3090 (except ray tracing) still bought msi for ray tracing. I bet there would be delays again, so can prob last a year with the msi, though it is already cheaper by now, around 2k$
Hi Paul, can you do a video of mining hashrates 😆😆😆 wondering how long will be the ROI time 🤪...
If you are getting this for VR, like I did, research first, it seems there is a hardware issue that prevents this card from being normally used for VR, you will need a display port signal booster. I spent a whole day trying to use my headsets and non of them worked until I contacted nvidia and they told me the problem. It sucks.
Who else came to watch Paul's video first? Excellent!
When your GPU is almost as large as your entire computer system...you might be nerd. But seriously it is so freakishly huge that it dominates the inside of the case and becomes (in my opinion) an eyesore.
EKWB will come out with a block for it to thin it out immensely. Jay will adopt it then.
whats crazy is the 6900xt is like 10-18% average behind the 3090 ti and it's half the price using less power. im actually surprised
I just got the 3080ti. I got the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Gaming OC because it has 5 ports in which 2 are HDMI!
I love watching these videos. Not that I will ever buy a $2k GPU, but it’s nice to see how the other half lives. 😂
It's not a "half", its much, *much* smaller.
Pretty sure its just stock footage but the previews for your benchmarks in the top right are very stuttery. Is this actual gameplay from the 3090Ti as I'd class that kind of jittering as unplayable. Its notable in more than one game.
But how does it handle the Volumetric Clouds on Crusader and Microtech in Star Citizen? Reportedly the volumetric clouds bring 3090's to their knees because it renders the clouds as far as you can see. I heard this in the podcast on the "SpaceTomatoToo" UA-cam channel where he interviews UA-camr "tenpoundfortytwo" (10-42). In the podcast they discuss tenpoundfortytwo's hardware testing for Star Citizen. Currently the game is unoptimized, is heavily CPU dependent, and the volumetric clouds are the only thing that really stress GPUs.
