While we were talking regarding it just now, a new leak shows pictures of the graphics card NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition. This removes the doubt mentioned earlier by VideoCardz questioning the very existence of this card. The RTX 3090 Ti FE presented during CES will therefore go on sale on March 29. Note that it will be available for sale only through LDLC and to find out how to successfully buy a Founders Edition, do not hesitate to re-read our guide.

Visually, as much to say that the design does not evolve. Indeed, it seems identical to the RTX 3090 Founders Edition with the difference near the power connector since it uses the PCIe Gen5. The latter replaces the Molex MicroFit 3.0 socket which was only used on the Founders models. Indeed, custom cards have continued to use the classic PCIe ports. The MicroFit 3.0 can supply up to 300W of power once morest up to 600W on the new connector. A necessary evolution since the TDP evolves up to 450W instead of 350W (75W can be provided by the PCIe slot). Good news, as we have seen custom cards also use this new connector and will therefore become a new standard. Power supply manufacturers have even started to present their blocks natively equipped with the 12VHPWR connector to avoid the use of a 3*8-pin to PCI Gen5 adapter.
Obviously, some custom RTX 3090 Ti cards will have higher TDPs as is already the case currently between a 3090 Founders and a custom. Thus, we can expect cards with TDPs of 480W (like the MSI RTX 3090 Ti SUPRIM X) to consume more than 500W. Recall that just now we saw that rumors speak of 5-10% performance gains over the RTX 3090.
