The RTX 3090 Ti finally has a date, will there be stock for gaming?

From the first day we saw the first models of the RTX 30 and how the 3090 did not have the maximum configuration of the GA102 chip we knew that there was a superior model. However, we have had to wait 18 months later to see it announced and for the RTX 3090 Ti to have a definitive date. Unfortunately, there has been a casualty along the way and an NVIDIA graphics card has been cancelled.

One of the peculiarities that very few people ended up observing about the RTX 3090 is the fact that its configuration is not 84 SM, but 82 SM, this made it very clear to us that there was an RTX 3090 Ti in development. The other clue was found in the 12-pin power connector that NVIDIA had added to its F0under Edition, that is, the standard models sold by NVIDIA itself and that allow much higher powers.

We had to wait for the power supplies to be ready for the new connector so that Jensen Huang could launch the most powerful graphics card of the current generation on PC. Let’s not forget that AMD’s RX 6900 XT at RRP was made to compete against the RTX 3080. So the RTX 3090 is unrivaled and the new Ti model will reign supreme alone for several months.

This would be the date of the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti

At the moment it has not been confirmed officially, but the date for the RTX 3090 Ti would be just before the end of the current month and, therefore, the March 29, 2022. This is said to be a response to the refresh of AMD’s RX 6000 range where they will appear with new improved specifications led by the RX6950XT. The NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti is a graphics card that uses a variant of the GA102 as its main GPU. Its configuration is:

  • 84 SM and therefore 10,752 CUDA “cores” or 32-bit floating point units.
  • 336 texture units.
  • 336 Tensor Cores.
  • 112 ROPS.
  • A base speed of 1560 MHz and a Boost speed of 1860 MHz that allows it to reach more than 40 TFLOPS of power in FP32
  • A 384-bit memory bus of the GDDR6X type at 21 Gbps and, therefore, a bandwidth of 1008 GB/s.
  • 450W TGP
  • 24 GB of memory on the card in capacities of 12 GB. This means that NVIDIA would abandon X8 or Clamshell mode, which meant that in the RTX 3090 the video RAM would be on both sides of the board with each pair of chips sharing a data bus to the card.

The card was supposed to appear in January using the design as the standard RTX 3090, but apparently there have been a number of problems in the supply of components. Among the notable changes is the use of a new PCB, which is an updated version of the Founders Edition of the RTX 3090 that was released a year and a half ago.

The 16 GB RTX 3070 Ti would have been canceled

The other news would be that the RTX 3070 Ti 16GB It would have become vaporware and NVIDIA would not release it to the market in the end despite being a project already finished and even presented. This was the only variant of the GA104 in use GDDR6X memory and in a 2 GB 8-chip configuration on a 256-bit bus.

The problems of the RTX 3090 Ti and the cancellation of the RTX 3070 Ti make us think that the problem is in the supply of chips with 2 GB of GDDR6X capacity. We do not know if for the next generation NVIDIA will use these chips or adopt the new higher capacity GDDR6 memory modules. In the event that it is the first scenario, it is normal that a few months after the presentation and launch of the RTX 40, NVIDIA is reserving those memory chips for the new generation.
