The GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER That Never Was, Pictured

btarunr · Sep 5, 2022

This is probably the only picture of a GeForce RTX 3090 SUPER Founders Edition graphics card. NVIDIA allegedly decided against this branding, in favor of the RTX 3090 Ti, to designate its maxed-out GA102-based graphics card. With no other "SUPER" SKUs in the RTX 30-series and plenty of "Ti," the company probably thought it wasn't worth the trouble to leave the odd SUPER SKU sticking out at the top. The picture surfaced on the NGA Forums, showing the card with prominent "RTX 3090 SUPER" branding etched along the top frame of the cooler. This card has the same device ID as the RTX 3090 Ti, so GPU-Z detects it as such. It also has identical specs to an RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition.

Is this news worthy? The image is so low quality and to my eyes appears to be fake.

Of course. It's tech related and interesting, if real. However...

...I agreed. Looks fake.

My guess it is real. It looks to be laser engraved and if you have ever done this work before, you will know how hard it is to do right. If this was a at-home attempt, we would see ugly text. That or, someone at NVIDIA engineering department decided to take the laser engraver for a spin after hours with a 3090 Ti.

I have access to a engraver, you want me to make you one? It comes with heft markup though

Doubt enough people will care for it to be of any value in the future
