NVIDIA themselves have shared performance slides for their imminent RTX 3090 graphics card, the new halo product that's been marketed as the new Titan. Previous-gen Titans have achieved extremely meager performance uplifts compared to NVIDIA's top-of-the-line cards (see RTX 2080 Ti vs RTX Titan, an average of 8% performance difference in favor of the Titan. According to the company, users should expect a slightly higher performance uplift this time around, though the 10-15% higher performance in 4K still seems meager - in pure price/performance terms - for the average consumer.
The average consumer who isn't the main focus for this graphics card and its gargantuan 24 GB of GDDR6X memory, anyway - this is more aimed at the semi-professional or professional crowds working with specialized software, whether it be in rendering or AI-based workloads. The RTX 3090 is thus not so much a product for the discerning computer enthusiast, but more of a halo product for gamers, and a crucial product for professionals and academics.
The meager performance difference also raises the question of an RTX 3080 Ti being launched with more silicon differences other than a doubling of memory to 20 GB. If the RTX 3090's 20% increase in on-chip resources (10,496 vs 8704 CUDA cores) offers a 10-15% performance uplift against the RTX 3080 (with an almost doubling in price, from $699 to $1,499), then that is the ceiling for the performance increase we can expect from a RTX 3080 Ti/SUPER. There isn't as much space in NVIDIA's product stack for another high-performance product as we might expect based on pricing and execution units. The one call to fame the card has is its 8K DLSS support - but it remains to be seen how relevant this becomes (this editor's bet? Not much at all). Rest assured - we'll be providing you with our usual in-depth performance reviews for NVIDIA's latest (and biggest) brainchild available in the consumer space.
