Nvidia’s new flagship should increase the performance again before the next generation appears.
The new flagship Geforce RTX 3090 Ti from Nvidia should finally appear on March 29, 2022, according to the rumors of Videocardz believes. A release for the 3090 Ti was originally planned for January 27, 2022, but ultimately it didn’t come to that.
This time the rumors are intensifying, also because providers such as MSI, EVGA and Colorful seem to already have their own custom models of the RTX 3090 Ti in the starting blocks. At least that’s what it reports Wccftech.
From these models we can also read the first data such as performance and power consumption. The consumption of the new top model shoots up to new heights. In detail, however, it differs between the models of the manufacturers.
The RTX 3090 Ti Suprim X from MSI should need up to 480 watts TDP. Other models, however, come along only
450 watts TDP, which is still 100 watts more than the normal RTX 3090. According to rumors, only the new generation of Nvidia can top this. Some of the RTX 4000 cards are said to consume up to 600 watts:
RTX 4000 as a power guzzler?
Nvidia’s new cards could double consumption
The high consumption of the 3090 Ti also requires significantly larger cooling solutions, which probably also applies to the RTX 4000 generation. While models with a 3-slot design have usually been the upper limit so far, the first versions of the RTX 3090 Ti probably use 3.5 to 4 slots.
High power consumption does not bring much more performance
At the same time, it seems the increased power consumption and faster memory of the Ti version doesn’t boost the card’s performance that much. According to initial reports, the new flagship delivers between five and ten percent more power than the version without the addition of Ti.
Apparently, employees of the CapFrameX capture software have already been able to test the new card. According to a tweet from the official account, the RTX 3090 Ti is around ten percent faster at 4K resolution:

More sources from Videocardz report that if you increase the RTX 3090’s consumption to 450 watts, the performance increase drops to five percent. The well-known leaker agrees MEGAsizeGPU on Twitter.
sticking point price
in one another tweet MEGAsizeGPU also addresses the official price of the RTX 3090 Ti. So, like the RTX 3090, the RTX 3090 Ti is priced at $1,499 (whose MSRP should then drop accordingly). At the same time, the first listings in a Canadian shop go in a different direction, like the colleagues from ComputerBase to inform.
Accordingly, custom models of the RTX 3090 Ti were listed at a Canadian dealer for around 3,600 US dollars (around 3,300 dollars) to 4,150 US dollars (around 3,750 dollars). RTX 3090 models there are in the $2,400 range. However, the information about the RTX 3090 Ti appeared on the internet a few days ago and it can only be a placeholder.
In Europey, the RTX 3090 is currently available from around 1,900 dollars, with the price trend falling. It can be assumed that the first models of the RTX 3090 Ti will be well above the 2,000 euro mark, certainty about how far exactly we should get very soon when the release has taken place. A test of the RTX 3090 Ti is also already planned.
The RTX 3090 Ti will not offer a good price/performance ratio either way. You can find out which currently available models do this better in the following article:

Are you an enthusiast interested in such a high-end model or would you like a cheaper card? Does a performance increase of up to 10 percent justify an increased power consumption of 100 watts? Please let us know.
