NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 "CEO Edition" Rears its Head, Most Likely a Fake
Social media is abuzz with a screengrab of a regional webpage of the NVIDIA website purporting a "GeForce RTX 3090 CEO Edition" graphics card. Positioned a notch above the "Founders Edition," this $3,499 card, if even remotely real, could be a limited edition product. The screengrab references "48 GB of G6X" memory. We're not sure how this is even possible. The RTX 3090 already uses 8 Gbit GDDR6X chips, piggybacking two chips per 32-bit memory channel, unless Micron has done the unthinkable by launching a 16 Gbit G6X chip within 2020. Frankly, we're very interested to see how the next-gen Quadro RTX even achieves its alleged 48 GB of GDDR6.
That aside, the alloy frame now comes with a gold finish. We wonder if memory and a fancy trim is all that NVIDIA is asking the extra 2 Grand for, or if it even maxed out the "GA102" ASIC (there are two more TPCs left to unlock). As for the name "CEO Edition," there have been instances of tech CEOs flexing their vanity on limited edition products. Limited edition Ryzen and Radeon products, for example, bear the AMD CEO's signature. So the name "CEO Edition" by itself isn't implausible. Just not with these specs, and not this price.

i noticed none of the early AiB 3XXX gpu's have gone with the dual sided fan set up nvidia is touting, atleast not the AiB cards that are listed now. many of them have this odd hole/passthrough cut out, from the AiB using the reference PCB's id guess.
CEO edition = " Crazy Enthusiast Overpriced " edition
Best bet is to wait for the actual release and all will be revealed.

That's one of the few ways i can think of that would actually justify nvidia's pricing :roll:
So to cut it short, 3090 will sell better and is a better marketing decision
The real version will obviously have a faux leather shroud. The gold lining? Grey, for Huang's hair.
Either way. It is obvious why the 2080 TI's OC better. Less cores which is more likely will OC better than something with full cores enabled. ( That was the deal with 1000 and 2000 series). It is hard to get all cores in the chip top-notch. Wonder what will the 3000 series clocks. That hasn't been revealed yet right?
No idea if we'll see one down the road...
Anyhow here's mine, and I hope that it doesn't become something you can buy for obvious reasons.
Its the primary (lowest card) in the stack in the PC.
I thin the specs that surfaced are just a quadro vesion. They have a current (previous gen) quadro with 48GB already, so I would suspect, that all this is based on seeing a benchmark from the quadro spec showing 48gb on Ampere.
Another consideration is that Nvidia is using HBM on the server/DGX variant, but the bandwidth would be 4096, not 384
Pretty sure they are refering to all the vids on the tubes these days suggesting RTX2080Ti owners are all in tears over the RTX3070 …..soooo yeah.
some of these newbs would spend more just cause it says "Cyberpunk" on the side.
