The GeForce RTX™ 3090 Ti is colossally powerful in every way, giving you a whole new tier of performance. It’s powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which doubles down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced RT Cores, Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors.

The new PCI Express 5.0 12(+4)-pin 12VHPWR connector, can offer up to 600 watts. The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, on the other hand, will always come with an adaptor for three 6+2 pins connectors to that new 12VHPWR connector. MSI GeForce RTX 3090 SUPRIM X 24G Of the games I tested, DLSS was only available in Metro: Exodus, so I didn't include it in the chart, but in that one game, the AI-powered tech bumped the 3090 Ti's framerate up to 38.3 FPS, while it actually lowered the output of the 3090 down to 23.5 FPS.

If you have a higher-hertz gaming monitor and you're worried your card might not make the frame-rate grade, it could still be possible with the right card and a combination of lower settings. Not only that, but many of these titles (including Death Stranding, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and F1 2020) have both DLSS and FidelityFX CAS with Upscaling integrated directly into the game. This can mean boosts of up to 40 percent more performance on top, depending on the setting and the card you're playing with. The Founders Edition of the 3090 Ti uses a 1x16-pin power connector, a larger version of the 12-pin connector that debuted with the RTX 3080 FE. Like before, this new port links to your PSU via a 3x8-pin dongle that’s included in the box. Unlike with the 3090, OEMs have also opted to use this new connector, as can be seen on the Suprim X here. You’ll need a beefy power supply (Nvidia recommends 850w minimum) as the card has a TDP of 480 watts, up from 450w on the Founders Edition.

Unlike other RTX 3090 cards we've reviewed, the MSI RTX 3090 Suprim X consumes considerably more power than the RTX 3090 Founders Edition. We measured 436 W average gaming power, which is over 70 W higher than the 365 W on the FE. Of course, you get 6% higher gaming performance in return, but the power cost is almost 20%. That said, if you're in the market for an RTX 3090 in the first place, power consumption is probably secondary to you anyway. All this electricity will heat up your room, though, which will be nice right now, but could be less enjoyable in the summer months. TORX FAN 4.0 is a masterpiece built on teamwork, with pairs of fan blades linked together with a revolutionary ring design to focus airflow and air pressure into the heatsink. Don't sweat it, Airflow Control guides the air to exactly where it needs to be for maximum cooling.GTX 580 | GF110-375 | 40nm | 520mm² | 3.0 BT | ⠀512 CCs | 64 TMUs | 48 ROPs | ⠀16 SMs | 772 MHz | 1.5GB | 128MB x 12 | GDDR5 | 384-bit | ⠀192 GB/s | 250W
