NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090 Ti was released almost as “RTX 3090 SUPER” as leaked information

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is an interesting graphics card considering it’s the flagship of the lineup, but there’s more to the flip side.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER Leak Reveals Green Team Changed Flagship Graphics Card Last Minute

A leak on the NGA.178 Forums presents an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER graphics card which has the same design and specs as NVIDIA’s flagship GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card.

The only major difference is the branding that we know was only used for the RTX 20 “SUPER” series lineup.

Here’s an image of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER graphics card:

According to users, this card is the same triple-slot Founders Edition giant as the RTX 3090 series, but the design is a slightly pure black color scheme on a metal frame, and the fan is also different compared to the one installed in the RTX 3090 Ti. It is said that there is

GPU-z says the card shares the same specs as the RTX 3090 Ti with 10752 CUDA cores, 1860MHz boost speed, 24GB GDDR6X VRAM running at 21Gbps on a 384bit bus, and a total bandwidth of 1008.4GB/s. It is said that there is

Also, since this card has the same BIOS version as the RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition, there are almost no differences other than the cooler and SUPER model branding.

It might be one of the early engineering samples successfully obtained by users in China’s black market, which has many such rare hardware products.

A similarly rare product, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 20GB, was produced in limited quantities and was discovered by this user.

The reason why this card is titled NVIDIA “GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER” instead of “RTX 3090 Ti” is that the green team considered this card a true flagship and planned to brand it in the “SUPER” line. It may indicate that there was a time, but finally decided to go with the “Ti” brand.

The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti was one of the first Ampere graphics cards to leak in 2020, and even following it was finally unveiled at CES 2022, the card has seen a major delay postponed to the end of March. I know.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti launched at a suggested retail price of $1999, but now retails for just $1099 in stores, quickly dropping below $1000 given the price cuts happening in the GPU market. Become.

Commentary:

Who is the RTX3090SUPER?

Since it is being talked regarding at this time, I wondered if they made a brand for inventory disposal, but it seems that the RTX3090Ti was originally planned to use the name SUPER.

Probably, due to the mining special demand, Intel’s new product, AMD’s RDNA2 performance improvement, etc., it is no longer possible to update the timing neatly like Turing, so I used the name of the “Ti” model. I think.

in my understanding

Ti = Both price and performance are better than the original model, the grade is clearly higher than the unbranded model, and it is sometimes added to the original lineup.

SUPER = Released half a year to a year following the MUJI model, the price may be higher than the MUJI model, but it is considerably cheaper than the model one level above. The performance is close to the one above the model, but the number of CUDA cores is slightly less, and the memory speed tends to be increased.

This is how I understand it. In the case of the SUPER model, for example, the RTX2060SUPER is priced higher than the RTX2060 Muji, but the performance is close to the RTX2070, so it will be treated as a reduced price model of the RTX2070.

I don’t get the impression that the “Ti” has cut the price of such a clearly higher model.

The point is just an impression, and it is not exactly decided.

The SUPER model is actually a price reduction of the higher-end model, but by adding SUPER to the end of the unmarked model, the impression is that it is a brand that does not make you feel that it is a price reduction.

Depending on the model, Ampere’s release date changed over and over, and there were many schedule changes, so I think it was difficult to use the SUPER brand.

It is not clear whether the SUPER brand will be used in the future.

The factory will return to TSMC, and the mining special demand has ended, so there is a possibility that it will proceed as planned to some extent in the future, so it may be revived in the RTX4000 series.

Before that, I think it’s an inventory disposal … (bitter smile.
