Nvidia has today announced the availability of the $1,999 (KES 229585) GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.
The “fastest GPU in the world” will be available in stores today from Asus, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galax, Gigabyte, INNO3D, MSI, Palit, PNY, and Zotac.
According to NVIDIA, the card is designed for the most demanding gamers, content creators and data scientists. The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti features a record-breaking 10,752 CUDA cores, and boasts 78 RT-TFLOPs, 40 Shader-TFLOPs and 320 Tensor-TFLOPs of power. It ia also packed with 24GB of the fastest 21Gbps GDDR6X memory.
These and other super speed specs make it the world’s fastest graphics card, gaming up to 60% faster than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and 55% faster than the TITAN RTX.
“The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is for our most ambitious users – those building research systems for data science and AI, or processing large data sets, and those making massive projects in creative applications. Or maybe you’re a developer or CG animator working with detailed models, super high resolution textures and massive sets.” NVIDIA said in a press statement.
With the card, gaming enthusiasts can enjoy max setting 4K, ray-traced gameplay at the fastest speeds possible, and even 8K NVIDIA DLSS-accelerated gaming on displays that support 8K 60Hz as specified in HDMI 2.1.
