Officially confirmed: Geforce RTX 3090 Ti
According to embargo material supposedly supplied by Nvidia with its board partners, the top GPU Geforce RTX 3090 Ti will be available later this month, on March 29th. The graphics card was expected to be unveiled on January 27th, but this did not occur.
So the rumor about Nvidia's monster GPU, the Geforce RTX 3090 Ti, doing the rounds in the Chiphell forum a few days ago is genuine. Because Nvidia has now given the whole thing clarity, notably through embargo information to its board partners, which also includes the deadlines for press release filing. These are expected to be completed between the third and fourth weeks of March.
The deadline is March 29 - two months after the actual presentation
In any case, Nvidia plans to officially unveil and release the Geforce RTX 3090 Ti on March 29th. Meanwhile, board partners are understood to be waiting for formal pricing information while preparing review samples for shipment within the next two weeks. The flagship will be available around two months later than Nvidia had previously indicated.
First, the Geforce RTX 3090 Ti was briefly introduced earlier this year at CES 2022. Then it was promised that more information about the graphics card would be available on January 27th, which did not happen.
However, Nvidia has yet to provide an explanation for these peculiar occurrences, even when contacted about The Verge in mid-February. The delay is thought to be due to GDDR6X memory difficulties identified just before the cards were supposed to be distributed to testers.
The Geforce RTX 3090 Ti is touted to have a GA102-350 GPU as well as 10,752 CUDA cores. It is also Nvidia's first model with 21 Gbit/s RAM and a maximum bandwidth of more than 1 TB/s. The Geforce RTX 3090 Ti is also expected to make its debut with a 16-pin PCI Express 5.0 power connector and a TDP of up to 450 watts.
