Did the GeForce RTX 3090? Insider speaks of new nvidia

Currently the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 is the fastest gaming graphics card that you can buy for money. But that could change soon. An insider reports on Twitter from a great model of the graphics card, which should have a big weakness.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Super: New top graphics card could be a real power-eater

Who is currently looking for the most powerful graphics card for PC players who reaches the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 - or maybe not? Because not only the top GPU is sold straight at moon prices, you believe the well-known hardware insider Kopet7kimi on Twitter, Nvidia could offer an even faster graphics card for sale this year: The Geforce RTX 3090 Super .

Compared to the non-super model, the number of shader multiprocessors from 82 to 84 and should increase the CUDA arithmetic units from 10,496 to 10,752 . The speed of the video memory should also increase. Up to 21 GHz are in conversation - the current GDDR6x memory of the RTX 3090 runs with 19.5 GHz.

Under the dash, these changes are not likely to draw a great performance jump if there is no further technical detail that should also be adapted: the power target. This is at the RTX 3090 at 350 watts. The super model, however, is supposed to be allowed to approve up to 450 watts .

Graphics card monsters: More power consumption, more heat

The higher power consumption of the new top GPU is likely to have a positive effect on the performance potential **, but the power consumption increases significantly. Also questionable is how NVIDIA or potential board partners want to cope with the additional waste heat. To get the temperatures under control, it may be necessary to dramatically increase the speed of the fans, which has a negative impact on the volume of the graphics cards.

What also jumps into the eye: According to the first insider information, NVIDIA seems to give up an NVLink connection at the Super Model . High-end users could therefore not interfere with two RTX 3090 super graphics cards via the interface. This function seems to be reserved for normal RTX 3090.

So far, this information is unconfirmed rumors. Whether Nvidia really plans to re-launch RTX 3090 with a super variant, remains to be seen.
