rtx 3090 lcd display pricelist

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 is one of the most powerful graphics cards out there if you want to chew through games at 4K on ultra settings and eat up graphics rendering tasks. It"s no surprise that it"s one of the most sought-after cards.

Sadly, the $1,499 is not only expensive but very difficult to find in stock. You can try your luck with the Nvidia RTX 3080 or Nvidia RTX 3070, though those cards aren"t any easier to find. Check out our guide on high-end Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards to seek out restocks and buying advice.

You’ll need to have very deep pockets and a very powerful PC to take advantage of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090. But if you have such a setup, you can expect PC gaming nirvana at high frame rates and crazy resolutions.

The GPU comes with 24GB of GDDR6X, has a 384-bit memory interface and memory speed of 19.5Gbps. Nvidia hasn"t officially revealed memory bandwidth, but we’d not be surprised to see it pushing nearly 1TB/s. The GeForce RTX 3090 also sports 10,496 CUDA cores and will run at a boost clock speed of 1,700MHz.

In real-world terms, this means it can run games at 8K and 60 frames per second, which is frankly ridiculous; not many people have an 8K display. And with second-generation ray-tracing cores and third-gen Tensor cores, the RTX 3090 promises a huge boost in ray-tracing performance and will deliver second-generation deep learning supersampling (DLSS) to help reduce the performance impact of ray-tracing on games running at high resolutions.

Thanks to the Ampere architecture, all of the new GeForce RTX graphics cards can deliver up to two times the ray-tracing performance of the Turing-based GeForce RTX 2000-series.

Outside of games, the GeForce RTX 3090 is expected to be a boon for people who create videos and work with high-fidelity digital assets, effects, and rendering techniques.

You probably need to be a serious PC gamer or dedicated game streamer to be willing to part with $1,499 for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090. But if you want the very best in GPU tech, then Nvidia has you covered with the RTX 3090.

Given its price and specs, the GeForce RTX 3090 has few rivals, all save for its bigger sibling, the RTX 3090 Ti. The RTX 3090 appears to have moved the goalposts so far along that AMD is likely to struggle to compete with it at this super high-end level.

With the GeForce RTX 3090, Nvidia has created an aspirational graphics card for gamers and digital content creators to lust after. It makes playing the best PC games even better.

We are mere days away from Nvidia’s release of its new Ampere-based GeForce RTX 3000-series graphics cards, and listings for the enormously powerful RTX 3090 have started to pop up on Amazon(opens in new tab) and Best Buy(opens in new tab).

Versions of the GeForce RTX 3090 have been listed from EVGA and Gigabyte, offering ‘aftermarket’ takes on Nvidia’s own Founders Edition RTX 3090. These graphics cards pack in 10,496 CUDA cores and 24GB of GDDR6X memory under a triple-fan chassis, promising vast amounts of graphical power to drive next-generation games.

The graphical grunt the RTX 3090 is not only set to easily blow away the performance of Nvidia’s last high-end consumer graphics card, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, but also offer far more power than the PS5 or Xbox Series X. However, that power will come at a hefty price.

We already know the Founders Edition RTX 3090 will go for $1,499, but third-party versions will be even more expensive, with the Gigabyte Eagle and Gigabyte Gaming versions listed at $1,549,99 and $1,579.99. And you’ll want a pretty powerful PC to take advantage of all the GPU power the new Ampere architecture offers, which means building an RTX 3090 gaming PC will likely cost north of $2,000.

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Kingpin, for example, comes with a twin-fan radiator, and the also sports a water cooling system. The card"s price has yet to be revealed but expect it to be eye-wateringly expensive.

But if you’re after the very best tech gaming can offer and want a PC over a next-generation console, then the GeForce RTX 3090 is the way to go. It will deliver 4K resolution, 60 frames per second gaming, with ray-tracing enabled. And in some cases it promising to offer 8K gaming.

The EAGLE is GIGABYTE’s best value GeForce RTX 3080, offering reference board clock speeds. There are two 90mm fans on the right, and one 80mm fan on the left, with the middle fan running in reverse to reduce turbulence and noise, and improve cooling. Fans feature air channelling grooves, and the heatsink utilizes the latest features from GIGABYTE’s full range of products.

The metal backplate has flow through cut outs for increased cooling; the fans have a zero db fan stop mode; and there are two HDMI 2.1 outputs, along with three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

GIGABYTE’s GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING OC 10G takes the EAGLE to the next level, with increased out of box clocks, RGB, a dual BIOS mode with OC and silent modes, and higher-grade components for increased power efficiency and overclocking headroom.

A striking all-white version, the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3080 VISION OC 10G, has a different shroud design, but is otherwise identical to the GAMING OC, and has a MSRP of $769.99. A GeForce RTX 3090 version is also in the works, and will be released in the future.

GIGABYTE’s AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 MASTER 10G is the biggest graphics card in this roundup, and perhaps the world, taking a full four slots when installed, as you can see in this user’s O11 build. It is in fact so large that the heat dissipation area of the heatsink is more than twice that of previous-generation flagship AORUS GPUs!

There’s a dual BIOS with OC and silent modes, a raft of PCB and component enhancements to help maximize power delivery, power efficiency and overclocking performance, and a staggering three HDMI 2.1 outputs, as well asthree DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Out of all cards in this roundup, the XTREME 10G has the fastest out of the box overclock, the most HDMI 2.1 display outputs, the most display outputs total, and the largest fans, but is also the biggest, so ensure your case can contain this beast.

GIGABYTE’s GeForce RTX 3090 TURBO 24G is a unique graphics card, designed specifically for space and airflow-restricted small form factor chassis. It features an 80mm blower fan with optimized intake, a copper heat sink, a vapor chamber in direct contact with the GPU, and various other tweaks to maximize cooling, performance and stability in SFF cases.

A faster variant, the GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3090 XTREME 24G, increases the out of the box overclock to 1860 MHz, adds a third 8-pin for extra power delivery and overclocking headroom, and has a MSRP of $1799.99.

If your case is short on space, Inno3D’s smaller dual-fan GeForce RTX 3080 may be a good choice. The new-gen heatsink and heatpipe design offers superior cooling, the backplate has flow through cut outs for improved airflow, and there’s even a factory overclock, giving you faster out of the box performance.

Inno3D’s GeForce RTX 3080 ICHILL X3 boosts the factory overclock to 1770 MHz, adds three 90mm fans, and embiggens the heatsink, substantially improving cooling performance.

The reference-clocked GeForce RTX 3090 GAMING X3 has the DNA of the RTX 3090 ICHILL X3 and X4, featuring three 90mm scythe blades fans to maximise airflow.

MSI’s GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X 10G offers reference board speeds, and features 3 fans, a zero RPM fan stop mode, an anti-sag design, an additional support bracket that users can choose to install for extra peace of mind, and a graphene backplate, instead of a traditional metal backplate.

MSI’s beefier GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING TRIO 10G comes with a 1755 MHz factory overclock, cooled by their newest TRI FROZR 2 and Torx Fan 4.0 technologies. Higher grade components and additional fuses enhance cooling performance, power delivery, and overclocking. And for even better overclocking there’s an added 8-pin power connector, too.

Palit’s reference-clocked GeForce RTX 3080 GamingPro features a tri-axial fan design, and has an included zero RPM fan stop mode. “Aluminium Alloy Armor” plates cover each side of the circuit board, helping draw heat away from hotspots and onto the heatsink, which has Double-U-Shaped heat pipes.

Palit’s GeForce RTX 3080 GameRock has an eye-catching crystalline ARGB shroud that illuminates the front of the card and reflects light around your case, creating a unique look. Out of the box it boasts a factory overclock, there’s a third 8-pin power connector for additional power and overclocking headroom, and it has a dual BIOS with OC and silent modes.

PNY’s REVEL GeForce RTX 3080 features three fans, with the central one flanked by RGB. U-shaped heat pipes improve thermals, a metal backplate aids in dissipating heat, and when idling or at low load, the card features zero RPM fan stop. And for added support, an acrylic bracket is included to ward against sag.

The reference-clocked ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity uses their new-generation IceStorm 2.0 cooling system that increases airflow by up to 10%. When idling, fans can stop. And to add a spot of color to the all-black GPU, there’s synchronized RGB on the top of the card and metal backplate.

If you haven’t yet found something that ticks all the boxes, stay tuned to the websites and social media pages for our partners at ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, GIGABYTE, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and ZOTAC. They have more cards in the works, and will each have custom models for the GeForce RTX 3070, which launches October 29th.

In a sign that NVIDIA board partners are getting desperate to clear inventory of their high-end GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" graphics cards to make way for the next-generation, EVGA momentarily offered its premium custom-design GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 graphics card at nearly half its original price. The company listed the RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 at $1,149, a $1,000 "instant discount" from its $2,149 original list price, which is nearly $1,500 down from the card"s street price before the crypto-mining crash of Q2-2022.

This could have been a one-off discount, as the other RTX 3090 Ti cards from the company"s lineup are priced slightly higher, with the faster FTW3 Ultra priced at $1,199; and the FTW3 Black at $1,399. Prices of high-end graphics cards have been in free-fall for the past couple of months, with the Radeon RX 6900 XT frequently spotted under $1,000; and the RX 6950 XT oscillating around the $1,000-mark. The likes of the RTX 3080 Ti can also be had around this price; while the RTX 3080 is now firmly under $1,000, sometimes spotted near its launch price of $699.

The best graphics cards for PCs are never cheap, but the Galax GeForce RTX 3090 HOF lineup of GPUs takes it to another level. The powerful graphics cards appear on MWave"s website with a starting price of AUD 3,899 (roughly $3,014). The most expensive of the cards costs AUD 4,499 (roughly $3,478) (via Tom"s Hardware).

There are three models of the Galax GeForce RTX 3090 HOF GPU on MWave"s website. There"s the normal HOF version, the HOF Limited Edition, and the HOF Premium. The normal and Premium HOF versions have boost frequencies of 1815 MHz, while the Limited Edition has a boost clock speed of 1875 MHz.

For the whopping prices of the cards, you don"t just get the RTX 3090, which is an extremely powerful GPU. You also get RGB lighting, a custom 12-layer PCB, and a 14+8+4-phase power delivery system.

These pricey RTX 3090 GPUs have RGB lighting and can work with an LCD panel to show off their vitals. They"re designed to get the best performance out of the RTX 3090 that"s possible.

The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti will soon arrive as the flagship entry in Nvidia"s Ampere gaming GPU family. The company is rumored to announce the card on March 29th, and we"re all eager to see what kind of performance it will deliver and how much it will cost. Regarding pricing, we"re getting some additional insight into what customers may end up paying thanks to some price sleuthing by Twitter leaker @momomo_us.

Unfortunately, things already aren"t looking too good for gamers. An unnamed Canadian retailer shows the Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3090 Ti and ROG Strix LC RTX 3090 Ti priced at 4,649 CAD and 5,234 CAD, respectively. The latter"s insane price tag is directly attributed to its water-cooled design.

If we do a straight conversion to U.S. currency, we"re looking at $3,680 and $4,143, respectively. Remember, these are just retailer prices and aren"t indicative of what Nvidia"s MSRP will be at launch. The "standard" RTX 3090 has an MSRP of $1,499 but currently sells for nowhere close to that price (unless you can grab one during Best Buy"s infrequent drops). Despite a steady month-over-month drop in GPU prices, the RTX 3090 still averages $2,126 on third-party marketplaces like eBay.

We"re just guessing here, but we could easily see Nvidia charging around between $1,799 to $1,999 for the privilege of owning the fastest graphics card on the market, possibly more. After all, remember when the Titan RTX was priced at $2,499, or the even more extreme Titan V price of $2,999?

Given the average selling prices for the RTX 3090, the Canadian pricing for the RTX 3090 Ti seems to be right in line with what we would expect in scalper land. The Canadian pricing is also in line with figures from European retailers that we saw in early February. At the time, prices were listed between $3,968 and $4,193 when converted to U.S. dollars.

Nvidia"s RTX 3090 Ti will allegedly feature a "full fat" GA102 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores paired with 24GB of 21 Gbps GDDR6X memory. With its increased core count and over 1 TBps of memory bandwidth, the RTX 3090 Wi should be a dominant force in the PC gaming sphere until Nvidia"s inevitable RTX 4000 series arrives later this year.

We have the feeling that the RTX 3090 Ti will pick up right with its non-Ti version left off when it comes to dominating the Apple M1 Ultra"s 64-core GPU. Just don"t ask about power draw and efficiency.

NVIDIA"s GeForce RTX 3080 may be the card maker’s flagship gaming GPU but ironically, it’s also not its most powerful GPU. That honour goes to the GeForce RTX 3090, a GPU that caters to a select group of content creators and extremely hardcore gamers. But despite its eye-searing price tag (the Founders Edition version retails for US$$1,499), GeForce RTX 3090 cards have been in extreme short supply and looks set to remain that way well into early 2021 – pandemic and economy slowdown be damn.

That also hasn"t stopped NVIDIA"s partners like Gigabyte from launching an ever-increasing stacks of RTX 30-series cards. Early-launched partners" cards have generally followed NVIDIA’s reference design, with performance usually in line with the company’s Founders Edition’s cards. Full custom cards that allows for better overclocking, RGB lightings, cooling wizardries, and in the case of Gigabyte’s new Aorus GeForce RTX 3090 Xtreme 24G reviewed here, even comes with a customisable LCD screen.

Visually, the Aorus GeForce 3090 Xtreme 24G is one beast of a card and is, unsurprisingly Gigabyte’s top-tier card based on the RTX 3090 GPU. To cool the super-large copper base plate and eight heat pipes that sprawls across the length of the card, the card features what Gigabyte called a Max-Covered cooling that features two 115mm and one 100mm “Unique Blade” stack fans. These fans spin alternately from each other and Gigabyte claims this allows air pressure to completely cover the heatsink and therefore provides better heat dissipation.

Gigabyte has been extravagantly generous with the display outputs on the Aorus GeForce RTX 3090 Xtreme. There are three HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort outputs – you can’t use them all at once though, but the extra HDMI port accords you more flexibility in what set of outputs you can connect simultaneously. For instance, you could use three HDMI ports at one time (or three DisplayPort ports).

Apart from the RTX 3090 Founders Edition card from NVIDIA as well as MSI’s GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio 24G, the Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 3090 Xtreme 24G is only the third RTX 3090-based card to enter our lab. Additionally, I only had a limited time with the MSI card before having to return it, so I wasn"t able to benchmark it with our latest suite of games. So, today’s comparison is pretty much Gigabyte’s flagship RTX 3090 up against the baseline RTX 3090 Founders Edition card. I’ll also be running a more limited selection this time as the results don"t normally vary too much from one card to another.

Since the Gigabyte’s card default mode is set to OC, I’ve used that when testing it against the GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition. All things considered, the differences in clock speeds between the Aorus and Founders Edition models did show that there are some tangible differences in terms of real-world performance – in many of the games above the former always leading by an average 3-5fps. These might seem to be marginal gains at best, but it also seems to hint a little of the card’s overclocking potential, which can be activated further via Gigabyte’s Aorus Engineoverclocking tool.

What I also thought was impressive is the less-than-expected bump in power draw as compared to NVIDIA’s card despite it being in OC mode. 34 Watts of extra power juice isn’t quite a lot, when you consider the additional RGB lights, fan and an LCD screen the Aorus card had to draw power for.

With most partners cards that comes with conventional heatsink cooling systems, the difference in real-world performances against a reference card – in this case, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition – are usually marginal. So, let’s look at the Gigabyte card from the optics of a Founders Edition card user: it’s got better performance, arguably better overclocking potential, better temperature (by comparisons), RGB and a cool customisable LCD screen. Unless you love the unique design of the Founders Edition, which admittedly is a personal favourite of mine, there’s very little reason to not consider a partners’ RTX 3090 cards.

AORUS - the premium gaming brand from GIGABYTE had launched a completely new series of RTX 30 graphics cards, including RTX 3090 Xtreme, RTX 3090 Master, RTX 3080 Xtreme, and RTX 3080 Master.

Besides excellent cooling and superior performance, LCD Edge View is another spotlight of AORUS RTX 30 series graphics cards. LCD Edge View is a small LCD located on the top of the graphics card. What could users do with this small LCD? Let’s find it out.

LCD Edge View is a LCD located on the graphics card, you can use it todisplay GPU info including temperature, usage, clock speed, fan speed, VRAM usage, VRAM clock and total card power. All this information can be shown one by one or just certain ones on the LCD.

Besides that, there are three different displaying styles available and users could choose their ideal one. However, not just GPU info but FPS (Frame Per Second) in the game or other application could be displayed through LCD Edge View.

The LCD Edge View can also show customized content including text, pictures or even short GIF animations.Users could input the preferred text to the LCD, also set the font size, bold or italic. It also supports multi-language so users could input whatever type of text they want.

About the picture, LCD Edge View allows users to upload a JPEG file to it and AORUS RGB Fusion software will let users choose which region of the picture should be shown. The support of short GIF animations is the most interesting part.

Users can upload a short animation in terms of GIF to be shown on the LCD so they can easily build up a graphics card with their own style. All of the customizations above can be done via AORUS RGB Fusion software.

There’s something more interesting with LCD Edge View: The little CHIBI.CHIBI is a little falcon digitally living in the LCD Edge View and will grow up as more time users spend with their graphics card. Users could always check their little CHIBI through the LCD Edge View and watch it eat, sleep or fly around, which is quite interactive and interesting.

In conclusion, LCD Edge View can display a series of useful GPU information, customized text, pictures, and animations, allowing users to build up the graphics card with their own style. Users can also have more interaction with their card via the little CHIBI, the exclusive little digital falcon living inside the LCD Edge View, which brings more fun while playing with the graphics card.

If you"re looking for the best and flashiest card money can buy, GALAX has you covered with the HOF series. Currently, the HOF series cards are only GeForce RTX 3090s at the moment. This is an ultra-premium card with only enthusiasts and extreme overclockers in mind whilst developing the card. Earlier, we saw listings of the card at an extremely high price point. Now, the HOF series is up for preorder on multiple websites in different regions and features a hefty price tag.

To get your hands on one of the HOF series cards, you"ll be looking at dropping around $2,670 (converted and adjusted for tax) at the bare minimum for the entry-level HOF series card. The most expensive card in the series will be around $3,370. Just for reference, the MSRP of the RTX 3090 Founders Edition is $1,499. The prices of the card signify a markup of 78% to 124% over the MSRP of an RTX 3090. If this doesn"t tell you that this isn"t for everyone, the extremely limited quantity will. The GALAX Malaysia page states that only one card will be distributed to each of the 11 participating vendors.

Some might ask, what justifies the pricing of the model? The list of features on this card is quite long. Two specific features stand out. The first of which is the HOF Panel III, a 4.3" full-color TFT LCD display that connects via USB with a 480x272 resolution and a crown design in the frame of the display. The second big-ticket feature is a fully custom white PCB using a custom 12 layer outfit. On that PCB is a power delivery with a 14+8+4 phase power design with a max TGP of 500W. The boost clock is 1875 MHz, but overclockers have managed to break 16 records already and overclock it to 3.015 GHz.

Most stores don"t list the ship date, but one store has it listed, and it"s March 12th. The HOF series cards from GALAX are currently only 3090s, but it is unknown if they will make 3080s and 3070s. I believe it"s unlikely to see a HOF series on anything other than a 3090 due to its ultra-premium design and price point.

In September, I boldly claimed that the RTX 4090 wouldn’t cause another GPU shortage. If you’ve tried to get an RTX 4090 since launch, I’m sure you can imagine the proverbial egg on my face. Although I stand by that original point, there’s some nuance to it, especially months after the RTX 4090 hit store shelves.

Let’s start with the RTX 4090. It has remained out of stock since it launched, at least at major retailers like Newegg and Micro Center. You can still buy a new card with marketplaces like Newegg or Amazon, but you’ll spend around $2,200 at minimum. Many cards climb above $2,500.

The secondhand market isn’t much better. $2,000 is the minimum on eBay if you score a deal, but again, you’ll spend $2,200 for the vast majority of cards and even above $2,500 in some cases. That looks a lot like the GPU shortage. Last-gen’s RTX 3090 retailed for $1,500 ($100 less than the RTX 4090), and at the height of the shortage, it went for around $2,500.

We have a lot of evidence that points in the other direction, though. For starters, Nvidia’s RTX 4080 has seen pitiful sales. Scalpers aren’t able to sell them for above list price on eBay, and some claim they’ve unsuccessfully attempted to return the cards in droves. According to Wccftech’s Hassan Mujtaba, Nvidia has shipped more than four times as many RTX 4090s as it has RTX 4080s.

Even if those numbers are wrong, you don’t have to look further than the inventory of RTX 4080 graphics cards. On Newegg at the time of writing, there are six models in stock at list price. And at my local Micro Center alone, there are over 30 cards available across two models. Even terrible GPUs like last-gen’s RX 6500 XT sold out within hours during the GPU shortage, but the RTX 4080 is readily available nearly two months after release.

The same is true of AMD’s recently launched RX 7900 XT, though not the much more popular RX 7900 XTX. If you’re shopping for last-gen cards, you can find basically any RTX 30-series or RX 6000 graphics card available from a major retailer.

The situation we’re in right now isn’t a GPU shortage. If you recall the past few years, everythingwas out of stock and marked up on the secondhand market. This case is unique to the RTX 4090 and maybe the RX 7900 XTX, but we’re still too close to AMD’s launch to tell.

We’ve covered the RTX 4090, but even the demonstrably unpopular RTX 4080 is much more expensive than it should be. You can find one model, the PNY XLR8 Gaming Verto, for the list price of $1,200. Every other card available sells for $1,300 or more. Board partner cards are always more expensive than list price, but $100 to $200 above after poor sales and an already high MSRP? That’s hard to justify.

Last-gen options are worse. The RTX 3080, which should retail for $700, starts at around $900 despite it being more than two years old. Lower down the stack, Nvidia’s prices are better. The RTX 3060 Ti is about $50 over list price, as is the RTX 3060, and the RTX 3070 Ti is $100 over list price. It’s important to remember the age of these cards, though. They’re last-gen, and they should be selling for lessthan list price at this point.

These prices are a situation unique to Nvidia, and AMD’s GPUs provide a lot of context for where GPU prices should be. AMD’s RX 6950 XT debuted at $1,100, but you can find models in stock for around $800 now. Nvidia’s competing RTX 3090 Ti is available in a refurbished capacity for about $1,200. That’s a decent cut below that card’s list price of $2,000, but it’s also the same price that Nvidia announced back in August 2022.

Similarly, AMD’s RX 6650 XT is anywhere from $50 to $100 below list price, and the RX 6750 XT (which competes with Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti) is up to $150 below list price. The only outlier here is the RX 6800 XT, which like the RTX 3080 is selling for much above list price (about $200 above list price for AMD and Nvidia).

In August, when Nvidia said it had “excess inventory” of RTX 30-series GPUs, the writing was already on the walls. Nvidia’s pricing is so much more expensive this generation compared to the previous one. The RTX 4080 is $500 more than the card it’s replacing, and the rumored RTX 4070 Ti could be similarly more than last-gen’s RTX 3070 Ti. With much higher prices, Nvidia doesn’t have to compete with its last-gen offerings, and they can continue to sell at or above list price.

I’m hopeful that we’ll see a big drop in GPU prices throughout 2023, and for two reasons. The first is the RTX 4080. Customers have voted with their wallets and clearly showed that the pricing of that card is unacceptable, and I don’t imagine Nvidia will continue to release cards with similar markups if they continue to see poor sales.

The second reason is that we’re past the flagship phase. Throughout 2023, AMD and Nvidia will release the GPUs lower in their product stacks, and that’s when we’ll start to see current-gen and last-gen GPU prices really competing. AMD has already put some pressure on Nvidia with its RX 7900 XTX going up against the RTX 4080, as well. In the $300-$500 price bracket, a similarly competitive GPU from AMD would force Nvidia’s hand.

Still, there’s no doubt that AMD and Nvidia want to keep GPU prices as high as possible. That’s why they’re in the GPU business. Although I’ve praised the RX 7900 XTX here for its competitive pricing against the RTX 4080, it’s important to remember that AMD’s RX 7900 XT is also far more expensive than it should be. If AMD had a grip on the GPU market like Nvidia has, we’d likely see similarly high prices from Team Red.

Nvidia’s Ampere-based RTX 30 series graphics card are still the talk of the town as its brand partners are just beginning to launch their products. Colorful just went all-out in their RTX 30 series product launch with five product series for the RTX 3090, RTX 3080, and RTX 3070.

The Colorful iGame Vulcan series is distinctively known for its enormous LCD display. The RTX 30 series’ Vulcan series now has an upgraded display with a 480mm x 120mm screen and can be flipped 90° for vertical mounting compatibility. The LCD can display custom JPG images, GIFs, or hardware monitoring info.

Colorful is the first brand to release an RTX 30 series GPU that uses a custom liquid cooling solution. The Colorful iGame Nepture uses the brand’s third-gen liquid cooling system featuring a 240mm radiator. The Neptune series is also outfitted with RGB lighting on the water block that’s customizable via the iGame Center app.

The Color iGame Advanced series is geared toward the mainstream line with a more reasonable cooling solution without the fancy LCD display. The Advance series still has RGB lighting, now located on the center cooling fan. Advanced series RTX 30 graphics cards come with a toolbox that has a screwdriver and a VGA holder.

Colorful’s RTX 30 Ultra series sports a fresh new design with chromatic accents across the cooling shroud. This three-slot form factor uses one 80mm fan on the center and two 90mm fans to cool the latest Ampere GPUs.

The Colorful iGame NB series is the brands budget product stack but it still features a triple-fan design, an upgrade over the RTX 20’s dual fan shroud.

Nvidia revealed its new RTX 3000 line of Ampere-powered GPU earlier this month, featuring the RTX 3090, 3080, and 3070 cards. The new 3000 series is the second generation of RTX graphics cards that will run features like real-time ray tracing with much higher performance than current RTX cards. Here"s what we know about each card so far, including specs, price, release date, and more.

For first-hand impressions, don"t pass up the chance to read our review of the RTX 3080, which called it a "powerful video card with big generational jumps."

The RTX 3080 is set to launch on September 17 for $700 USD, and the RTX 3070 was also revealed with a release window in October and a price of $500. The massive high-end card, the RTX 3090, is said to be capable of 8K resolution at 60 FPS performance--the RTX 3090 will launch on September 24 and pricing starts at a whopping $1500. RTX 3000 series pre-orders are not yet available, but Nvidia"s website does have a "notify me" button if you"re eager to place an order. Traditionally, a new line of GPUs sells out quickly when they first go up for pre-order, and that could easily be the case here due to Nvidia"s surprisingly aggressive pricing.

For the full technical specs, you can check out our table below for the important details on the Founders Editions of the new Ampere cards. That includes power supply requirements: The 3070 calls for a 650W PSU, while both the 3080 and 3090 need a 750W PSU. You can also get a look at the dimensions of each, with the 3090 measuring in at more than 12 inches long and requiring three slots. All three cards support HDMI 2.1.RTX 3090RTX 3080RTX 3070CUDA Cores1049687045888

Compared to the Turing-based RTX 2080, the Ampere-based RTX 3080 will be built with 30 shader-TFLOPS (2.7x), 58 RT-TFLOPS (1.7x), and 283 Tensor-TFLOPS (2.7x). Plenty of other details were given in Nvidia"s reveal video, which you can watch a clip of below.

The Ampere architecture comes off the heels of the Turing-based RTX 20 series which first introduced real-time ray tracing and AI capabilities in graphics hardware. Those video cards feature multiple processing cores (RT Core and Tensor Core) to manage the heavy workload and make things like high-performance ray tracing in games and DLSS (AI-based supersampling).
