1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,839
GPU prices are falling is what I would

2
00:00:03,179 --> 00:00:08,940
say if not for the RTX 3090 TI NVIDIA's

3
00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:13,440
latest end greatest look at this thing it is

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:18,180
massive just look at the cooler it's like three slots maybe three and a half

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:22,920
and I think there's like eight separate heat pipes here

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,960
it's bound to be the most powerful

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,939
consumer card ever but this time we don't want to be a part

8
00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:36,360
of the hype machine that sells these things let me explain what I mean but first let

smartdepoint.com Linus

13
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:06,600
we'll be comparing the new tie to the only GPU we really need to the RTX 3090

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:11,159
which is quite close in specification to the new Big Boy here

15
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,360
so close in fact that I had to triple

16
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:17,640
check my notes yes both have 24 gigs of

17
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:20,820
gddr6x memory but the ti pulls ahead of

18
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,159
memory bandwidth to almost but not quite

19
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:27,659
a terabyte per second it also boasts an extra 2.4 percent more GPU cores that

20
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:35,759
are thankfully clocked 10 to 12 percent higher and draws a staggering 29 higher

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,700
total Graphics power at 450 watts to

22
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:44,040
achieve that NVIDIA has resorted to a Triple Eight pin to 12 pin dongle with a

23
00:01:41,460 --> 00:01:48,720
hefty 850 watt power supply requirement they recommend a kilowatt

24
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,280
hoping our GPU test bench can handle that kind of load in F1 2021 we're

25
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:57,540
looking at a roughly eight or nine percent improvement over the RTX 3090

26
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:02,939
with Ray tracing disabled of course which translates into about 10 FPS when

27
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:06,600
we enable Ray tracing the extra cores work their magic for a good 13

28
00:02:04,619 --> 00:02:11,280
Improvement keeping things much closer to 60fps maxed out at 4K

29
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:14,879
Far Cry 6 sees a slightly less impressive result at around five or six

30
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:20,940
percent with Ray tracing disabled and just a little bit more with Ray tracing

31
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,819
turned on like the RTX 3090 NVIDIA says

32
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:29,340
that 8K gaming is one of the 390 TI's strong suits but when I tried it out F1

33
00:02:26,940 --> 00:02:33,180
2021 chugged it around 30 FPS so I didn't bother testing any further maybe

34
00:02:31,620 --> 00:02:37,260
productivity will show us a better example of how the power of the 3090 TI

35
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:43,200
will improve your life blender hmm doesn't seem to think so

36
00:02:40,379 --> 00:02:48,000
we're looking at a few seconds at most depending on what renderer you're using

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:54,180
v-ray gives the 3090 TI a slight lead too although the RTX result is over 100

38
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,200
points more so hooray pull four percent

39
00:02:54,180 --> 00:03:00,300
lead octane renderer gave us a similar kind

40
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:07,019
of situation to these as well it's whatever moving on to power we ran five

41
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:09,900
laps of F1 2021 as a typical gaming load

42
00:03:07,019 --> 00:03:18,000
and we saw a power draw Spike as high as 480 Watts that cannot cannot be right

43
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:20,879
480 Watts really holy

44
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:26,580
yeah and the average was over 400 not much lower than the peak wattage the RTX

45
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,500
3090 Drew in the same test to be fair to

46
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:34,200
NVIDIA while that's an absurd amount of power more than an entire PC with a low

47
00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:35,700
end GPU might draw it's roughly in line

48
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,140
with the performance Improvement we saw in that game so you're getting frames

49
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:45,480
proportionally in exchange for the extra juice if the rumors are to be believed

50
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,720
we'll see even more power draw in search of higher frame rates when the next

51
00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:54,299
Generation rolls out speaking of which why is this GPU only

52
00:03:51,659 --> 00:03:57,540
launching now when the 40 series Ada Lovelace gpus are supposedly right

53
00:03:56,220 --> 00:04:03,840
around the corner well I've got a few theories maybe this

54
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:07,500
is an indication that ADA isn't right around the corner and NVIDIA's trying to

55
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:12,659
make do with what they've got or maybe the 3090 TI was delayed for so

56
00:04:10,980 --> 00:04:18,720
long during the Silicon shortage that it's launching way later than they

57
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,760
planned or maybe they just had high Bend

58
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,660
gpus kicking around that they wanted to clear out before Ada hit later this year

59
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:28,020
our screwdriver and backpack are hittingly this year too sign up at

60
00:04:26,340 --> 00:04:32,460
ltdstore.com to be the first to know when they're ready

61
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:38,460
you clear at angle is a very likely one IMO NVIDIA's existing A40 a data center

62
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:43,500
GPU shares most of its spec sheet with the 3090 TI albeit with a significantly

63
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:48,240
lower board power and more but slower memory sure enough the NVIDIA control

64
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:51,060
panel even has an ECC memory support toggle like you might find on one of

65
00:04:49,979 --> 00:04:55,259
those cards while I don't have a problem with this

66
00:04:53,220 --> 00:05:00,120
in principle I do have a problem with the price they're asking for it and I'm

67
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,680
not comfortable with how much power this thing is capable of drawing

68
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:11,460
starting at two thousand dollars U.S MSRP the EVGA won't be tested costs

69
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:14,759
2200. you're looking at a 25 premium or

70
00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:17,460
more over a GPU that is already priced

71
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:21,720
like a Titan and already is not proportionally faster than the next card

72
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:26,039
down the stack for the money NVIDIA wants us to compare against the Titan

73
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:30,479
RTX a card that already wasn't worth the price when it launched and which didn't

74
00:05:28,500 --> 00:05:35,340
even live up to the Titan name with its crippled fp64 performance that card like

75
00:05:33,479 --> 00:05:40,800
this one has more in common with the Titan XP a card that also had crippled

76
00:05:37,979 --> 00:05:48,660
fp64 performance and launched at twelve hundred dollars U.S 300 less than the

77
00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:50,940
RTX 3090 that is the RTX tax in a

78
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:57,600
nutshell and calling this a 500 price drop from the Titan RTX is a slap in the

79
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:59,699
face to anyone who thought that the 3090

80
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,479
itself was already making that comparison

81
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,560
it's one thing to have a Halo product for the die hards but when even that

82
00:06:05,940 --> 00:06:13,259
product gets eclipsed in terms of pricing that's when we journey into the Absurd

83
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:18,720
if many people thought that NVIDIA had jumped the shark with the RTX 3090s 1500

84
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:22,319
price tag then they're now trying to see just how big a shark they can clear with

85
00:06:20,699 --> 00:06:26,819
the 3090 TI especially with competition from EMD and

86
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:32,039
Intel on the horizon and with the RTX 3090 coming back down to earth in price

87
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:36,000
it feels like a cynical cash grab no matter what their intention was

88
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:39,780
you'd be forgiven for losing track of just what gpus even cost anymore with

89
00:06:37,979 --> 00:06:46,860
how crazy pricing has been over the past couple of years after all as recently as

90
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:49,860
this month RTX 3090s were going for over

91
00:06:46,860 --> 00:06:52,139
three grand sometimes over four easily

92
00:06:49,860 --> 00:06:58,080
double their original asking price now that's finally changing the RTX 3090

93
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:03,660
is routinely going for 2K or less someone even got really lucky on this

94
00:07:00,539 --> 00:07:06,060
one and so NVIDIA read the room full of

95
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:09,900
wary Gamers and professionals trying to catch a break

96
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:14,280
and with a straight face bragged to their investors that people were paying

97
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:20,099
more for new gpus while slapping an astronomical price tag onto this thing

98
00:07:17,340 --> 00:07:24,419
as for power yeah I get that just releasing an A40 with 24 gigs of vram

99
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:30,599
for the consumer Market wouldn't be very impressive next to the 3090 but this is

100
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,960
just ridiculous the EVGA card even has a

101
00:07:30,599 --> 00:07:35,280
thankfully unpopulated second ATX 3.0

102
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:41,759
power connector which would theoretically give this thing access to

103
00:07:38,039 --> 00:07:44,400
over 1200 watts of power it's a chilling

104
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:49,680
look at a world where Watts don't matter as long as you're getting frames

105
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:53,220
you'll note however that we didn't do very many benchmarks to find reasons for

106
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,180
this thing to exist that's because we didn't get our card

107
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:02,220
until two business days before embargo lift and even if we got it sooner the

108
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:08,819
driver was only made available two days before that the final version of the

109
00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:12,060
reviewers guide was uploaded yesterday

110
00:08:08,819 --> 00:08:15,240
NVIDIA clearly did not want us to look

111
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:16,800
too closely at the RTX 3090 TI and

112
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,379
that's okay because I'm not sure how much more I

113
00:08:18,419 --> 00:08:23,940
need to see the worst part about all of this is that

114
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:28,919
there's nothing that I can say or do that will prevent people from buying it

115
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,539
the RTX 3090 itself is already nearly

116
00:08:28,919 --> 00:08:37,620
half a percent of the steam Hardware survey that is twice as many gpus than

117
00:08:33,719 --> 00:08:40,500
the RX 6700 XT and nearly so for the RTX

118
00:08:37,620 --> 00:08:45,899
3050 TI if you expanded out the desktop ga-102 GPU that powers everything from

119
00:08:42,839 --> 00:08:48,000
the RTX 3080 to the 3090 TI

120
00:08:45,899 --> 00:08:54,180
represents a combined total of nearly two percent a big enough portion to put

121
00:08:50,940 --> 00:08:56,519
it in the top ten people want the big

122
00:08:54,180 --> 00:09:00,360
boy I think we deserve some of the blame for that I like how we deserve blame for

123
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:07,140
our storage going haywire get subscribed so you don't miss our data recovery Adventure by the way

124
00:09:03,779 --> 00:09:08,760
but if you want this thing

125
00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:13,920
if you're one of the people that NVIDIA says want the absolute best then I don't

126
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,540
know what to tell you perhaps money is No Object and you want to get as close

127
00:09:15,779 --> 00:09:22,800
to that 8K gaming promise as you can or maybe that extra little bit of blood

128
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:25,980
envious squeezed from the stone is exactly what you need for Peak

129
00:09:24,779 --> 00:09:30,540
productivity I disagree

130
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:34,440
what is Peak productivity is this segue to our sponsor thanks to backblaze for

143
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:30,839
I I don't like what this represents maybe go grab a palette cleanser with

144
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:36,019
our recent video on the grain GPU accelerated NVMe solution that one's

145
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:36,019
actually really cool
