00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.839
GPU prices are falling is what I would

00:00:03.179 --> 00:00:08.940
say if not for the RTX 3090 TI NVIDIA's

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:13.440
latest end greatest look at this thing it is

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:18.180
massive just look at the cooler it's like three slots maybe three and a half

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:22.920
and I think there's like eight separate heat pipes here

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.960
it's bound to be the most powerful

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:29.939
consumer card ever but this time we don't want to be a part

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

00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:40.320
me tell you about a sponsor smart deploy smart deploy provides out of the box

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

00:01:04.440 --> 00:01:11.159
which is quite close in specification to the new Big Boy here

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:14.360
so close in fact that I had to triple

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.640
check my notes yes both have 24 gigs of

00:01:14.360 --> 00:01:20.820
gddr6x memory but the ti pulls ahead of

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:23.159
memory bandwidth to almost but not quite

00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:27.659
a terabyte per second it also boasts an extra 2.4 percent more GPU cores that

00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:35.759
are thankfully clocked 10 to 12 percent higher and draws a staggering 29 higher

00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:38.700
total Graphics power at 450 watts to

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:44.040
achieve that NVIDIA has resorted to a Triple Eight pin to 12 pin dongle with a

00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:48.720
hefty 850 watt power supply requirement they recommend a kilowatt

00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:53.280
hoping our GPU test bench can handle that kind of load in F1 2021 we're

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:57.540
looking at a roughly eight or nine percent improvement over the RTX 3090

00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:02.939
with Ray tracing disabled of course which translates into about 10 FPS when

00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:06.600
we enable Ray tracing the extra cores work their magic for a good 13

00:02:04.619 --> 00:02:11.280
Improvement keeping things much closer to 60fps maxed out at 4K

00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:14.879
Far Cry 6 sees a slightly less impressive result at around five or six

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:20.940
percent with Ray tracing disabled and just a little bit more with Ray tracing

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:23.819
turned on like the RTX 3090 NVIDIA says

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

00:02:26.940 --> 00:02:33.180
2021 chugged it around 30 FPS so I didn't bother testing any further maybe

00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:37.260
productivity will show us a better example of how the power of the 3090 TI

00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:43.200
will improve your life blender hmm doesn't seem to think so

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:48.000
we're looking at a few seconds at most depending on what renderer you're using

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

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:55.200
points more so hooray pull four percent

00:02:54.180 --> 00:03:00.300
lead octane renderer gave us a similar kind

00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:07.019
of situation to these as well it's whatever moving on to power we ran five

00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:09.900
laps of F1 2021 as a typical gaming load

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

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:20.879
480 Watts really holy

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:26.580
yeah and the average was over 400 not much lower than the peak wattage the RTX

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.500
3090 Drew in the same test to be fair to

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

00:03:31.140 --> 00:03:35.700
end GPU might draw it's roughly in line

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:40.140
with the performance Improvement we saw in that game so you're getting frames

00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:45.480
proportionally in exchange for the extra juice if the rumors are to be believed

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:48.720
we'll see even more power draw in search of higher frame rates when the next

00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:54.299
Generation rolls out speaking of which why is this GPU only

00:03:51.659 --> 00:03:57.540
launching now when the 40 series Ada Lovelace gpus are supposedly right

00:03:56.220 --> 00:04:03.840
around the corner well I've got a few theories maybe this

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:07.500
is an indication that ADA isn't right around the corner and NVIDIA's trying to

00:04:05.940 --> 00:04:12.659
make do with what they've got or maybe the 3090 TI was delayed for so

00:04:10.980 --> 00:04:18.720
long during the Silicon shortage that it's launching way later than they

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.760
planned or maybe they just had high Bend

00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.660
gpus kicking around that they wanted to clear out before Ada hit later this year

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:28.020
our screwdriver and backpack are hittingly this year too sign up at

00:04:26.340 --> 00:04:32.460
ltdstore.com to be the first to know when they're ready

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

00:04:36.060 --> 00:04:43.500
GPU shares most of its spec sheet with the 3090 TI albeit with a significantly

00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:48.240
lower board power and more but slower memory sure enough the NVIDIA control

00:04:46.020 --> 00:04:51.060
panel even has an ECC memory support toggle like you might find on one of

00:04:49.979 --> 00:04:55.259
those cards while I don't have a problem with this

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

00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:04.680
not comfortable with how much power this thing is capable of drawing

00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:11.460
starting at two thousand dollars U.S MSRP the EVGA won't be tested costs

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:14.759
2200. you're looking at a 25 premium or

00:05:11.460 --> 00:05:17.460
more over a GPU that is already priced

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:21.720
like a Titan and already is not proportionally faster than the next card

00:05:19.320 --> 00:05:26.039
down the stack for the money NVIDIA wants us to compare against the Titan

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

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:35.340
even live up to the Titan name with its crippled fp64 performance that card like

00:05:33.479 --> 00:05:40.800
this one has more in common with the Titan XP a card that also had crippled

00:05:37.979 --> 00:05:48.660
fp64 performance and launched at twelve hundred dollars U.S 300 less than the

00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:50.940
RTX 3090 that is the RTX tax in a

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

00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:59.699
face to anyone who thought that the 3090

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.479
itself was already making that comparison

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

00:06:05.940 --> 00:06:13.259
product gets eclipsed in terms of pricing that's when we journey into the Absurd

00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:18.720
if many people thought that NVIDIA had jumped the shark with the RTX 3090s 1500

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

00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:26.819
the 3090 TI especially with competition from EMD and

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:32.039
Intel on the horizon and with the RTX 3090 coming back down to earth in price

00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:36.000
it feels like a cynical cash grab no matter what their intention was

00:06:34.380 --> 00:06:39.780
you'd be forgiven for losing track of just what gpus even cost anymore with

00:06:37.979 --> 00:06:46.860
how crazy pricing has been over the past couple of years after all as recently as

00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:49.860
this month RTX 3090s were going for over

00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:52.139
three grand sometimes over four easily

00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:58.080
double their original asking price now that's finally changing the RTX 3090

00:06:55.440 --> 00:07:03.660
is routinely going for 2K or less someone even got really lucky on this

00:07:00.539 --> 00:07:06.060
one and so NVIDIA read the room full of

00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:09.900
wary Gamers and professionals trying to catch a break

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:14.280
and with a straight face bragged to their investors that people were paying

00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:20.099
more for new gpus while slapping an astronomical price tag onto this thing

00:07:17.340 --> 00:07:24.419
as for power yeah I get that just releasing an A40 with 24 gigs of vram

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:30.599
for the consumer Market wouldn't be very impressive next to the 3090 but this is

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:33.960
just ridiculous the EVGA card even has a

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:35.280
thankfully unpopulated second ATX 3.0

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:41.759
power connector which would theoretically give this thing access to

00:07:38.039 --> 00:07:44.400
over 1200 watts of power it's a chilling

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:49.680
look at a world where Watts don't matter as long as you're getting frames

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:53.220
you'll note however that we didn't do very many benchmarks to find reasons for

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:57.180
this thing to exist that's because we didn't get our card

00:07:54.960 --> 00:08:02.220
until two business days before embargo lift and even if we got it sooner the

00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:08.819
driver was only made available two days before that the final version of the

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:12.060
reviewers guide was uploaded yesterday

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:15.240
NVIDIA clearly did not want us to look

00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:16.800
too closely at the RTX 3090 TI and

00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.379
that's okay because I'm not sure how much more I

00:08:18.419 --> 00:08:23.940
need to see the worst part about all of this is that

00:08:21.599 --> 00:08:28.919
there's nothing that I can say or do that will prevent people from buying it

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:30.539
the RTX 3090 itself is already nearly

00:08:28.919 --> 00:08:37.620
half a percent of the steam Hardware survey that is twice as many gpus than

00:08:33.719 --> 00:08:40.500
the RX 6700 XT and nearly so for the RTX

00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:45.899
3050 TI if you expanded out the desktop ga-102 GPU that powers everything from

00:08:42.839 --> 00:08:48.000
the RTX 3080 to the 3090 TI

00:08:45.899 --> 00:08:54.180
represents a combined total of nearly two percent a big enough portion to put

00:08:50.940 --> 00:08:56.519
it in the top ten people want the big

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

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

00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:08.760
but if you want this thing

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

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

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:22.800
to that 8K gaming promise as you can or maybe that extra little bit of blood

00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:25.980
envious squeezed from the stone is exactly what you need for Peak

00:09:24.779 --> 00:09:30.540
productivity I disagree

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:34.440
what is Peak productivity is this segue to our sponsor thanks to backblaze for

guys sorry this one was a bit ranty I just I know it's not for everybody but

00:10:24.959 --> 00:10:30.839
I I don't like what this represents maybe go grab a palette cleanser with

00:10:29.160 --> 00:10:36.019
our recent video on the grain GPU accelerated NVMe solution that one's

00:10:33.180 --> 00:10:36.019
actually really cool
