improvement over the RTX 3090 with Ray tracing disabled of course which translates into about 10 FPS when we enable Ray tracing the extra cores work their magic for a good 13 Improvement keeping things much closer to 60fps maxed out at 4K Far Cry 6 sees a slightly less impressive result at around five or six percent with Ray tracing disabled and just a little bit more with Ray tracing turned on like the RTX 3090 NVIDIA says that 8K gaming is one of the 390 TI's strong suits but when I tried it out F1 2021 chugged it around 30 FPS so I didn't bother testing any further maybe productivity will show us a better example of how the power of the 3090 TI will improve your life blender hmm doesn't seem to think so we're looking at a few seconds at most depending on what renderer you're using v-ray gives the 3090 TI a slight lead too although the RTX result is over 100 points more so hooray pull four percent lead octane renderer gave us a similar kind of situation to these as well it's whatever moving on to power we ran five laps of F1 2021 as a typical gaming load and we saw a power draw Spike as high as 480 Watts that cannot cannot be right 480 Watts really holy yeah and the average was over 400 not much lower than the peak wattage the RTX 3090 Drew in the same test to be fair to NVIDIA while that's an absurd amount of power more than an entire PC with a low end GPU might draw it's roughly in line with the performance Improvement we saw in that game so you're getting frames proportionally in exchange for the extra juice if the rumors are to be believed we'll see even more power draw in search of higher frame rates when the next Generation rolls out speaking of which why is this GPU only launching now when the 40 series Ada Lovelace gpus are supposedly right around the corner well I've got a few theories maybe this is an indication that ADA isn't right around the corner and NVIDIA's trying to make do with what they've got or maybe the 3090 TI was delayed for so long during the Silicon shortage that it's launching way later than they planned or maybe they just had high Bend gpus kicking around that they wanted to clear out before Ada hit later this year our screwdriver and backpack are hittingly this year too sign up at ltdstore.com to be the first to know when they're ready you clear at angle is a very likely one IMO NVIDIA's existing A40 a data center GPU shares most of its spec sheet with the 3090 TI albeit with a significantly lower board power and more but slower memory sure enough the NVIDIA control panel even has an ECC memory support toggle like you might find on one of those cards while I don't have a problem with this in principle I do have a problem with the price they're asking for it and I'm not comfortable with how much power this thing is capable of drawing starting at two thousand dollars U.S MSRP the EVGA won't be tested costs 2200. you're looking at a 25 premium or more over a GPU that is already priced like a Titan and already is not proportionally faster than the next card down the stack for the money NVIDIA wants us to compare against the Titan RTX a card that already wasn't worth the price when it launched and which didn't even live up to the Titan name with its crippled fp64 performance that card like this one has more in common with the Titan XP a card that also had crippled fp64 performance and launched at twelve hundred dollars U.S 300 less than the RTX 3090 that is the RTX tax in a nutshell and calling this a 500 price drop from the Titan RTX is a slap in the face to anyone who thought that the 3090 itself was already making that comparison it's one thing to have a Halo product for the die hards but when even that product gets eclipsed in terms of pricing that's when we journey into the Absurd if many people thought that NVIDIA had jumped the shark with the RTX 3090s 1500 price tag then they're now trying to see just how big a shark they can clear with the 3090 TI especially with competition from EMD and Intel on the horizon and with the RTX 3090 coming back down to earth in price it feels like a cynical cash grab no matter what their intention was you'd be forgiven for losing track of just what gpus even cost anymore with how crazy pricing has been over the past couple of years after all as recently as this month RTX 3090s were going for over three grand sometimes over four easily double their original asking price now that's finally changing the RTX 3090 is routinely going for 2K or less someone even got really lucky on this one and so NVIDIA read the room full of wary Gamers and professionals trying to catch a break and with a straight face bragged to their investors that people were paying more for new gpus while slapping an astronomical price tag onto this thing as for power yeah I get that just releasing an A40 with 24 gigs of vram for the consumer Market wouldn't be very impressive next to the 3090 but this is just ridiculous the EVGA card even has a thankfully unpopulated second ATX 3.0 power connector which would theoretically give this thing access to over 1200 watts of power it's a chilling look at a world where Watts don't matter as long as you're getting frames you'll note however that we didn't do very many benchmarks to find reasons for this thing to exist that's because we didn't get our card until two business days before embargo lift and even if we got it sooner the driver was only made available two days before that the final version of the reviewers guide was uploaded yesterday NVIDIA clearly did not want us to look too closely at the RTX 3090 TI and that's okay because I'm not sure how much more I need to see the worst part about all of this is that there's nothing that I can say or do that will prevent people from buying it the RTX 3090 itself is already nearly half a percent of the steam Hardware survey that is twice as many gpus than the RX 6700 XT and nearly so for the RTX 3050 TI if you expanded out the desktop ga-102 GPU that powers everything from the RTX 3080 to the 3090 TI represents a combined total of nearly two percent a big enough portion to put it in the top ten people want the big boy I think we deserve some of the blame for that I like how we deserve blame for our storage going haywire get subscribed so you don't miss our data recovery Adventure by the way but if you want this thing if you're one of the people that NVIDIA says want the absolute best then I don't know what to tell you perhaps money is No Object and you want to get as close to that 8K gaming promise as you can or maybe that extra little bit of blood envious squeezed from the stone is exactly what you need for Peak productivity I disagree what is Peak productivity is this segue to our sponsor thanks to
