RTX 3090

The $ 1,500 GPU specially designed for "gamers" will go on sale this morning.


NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 will be pre-ordered this morning, but it looks like you'll need a lot of luck to get one. In a blog post, the company previously apologized for the lack of supply, emphasizing that it was meticulously designed (and priced) for enthusiasts.

Since we built the GeForce RTX 3090 for a unique group of users, like TITAN RTX before it, we'd like to apologize in advance because this will be limited in supply on launch day, ”the company wrote.“ We know this is frustrating, and we are working with our partners to increase the offer in the coming weeks.

The RTX 3090 is built for what NVIDIA calls "extreme gamers," with features like 10496 CUDA core and a massive 24GB of GDDR6X memory. It's also designed for "creative people who make and show movies" or 8K games - as long as you're one of the few people who owns an 8K TV. He also mentioned that you'll only see a 10 to 15 percent increase in performance on the RTX 3080, but you'll pay more than twice the price - $ 1,500 compared to $ 700.

However, this is unlikely to discourage buyers who wish to purchase and convert the paper for profit - in fact, a price hike and an apology may increase demand. After all, when the RTX 3080 Founders Edition went on sale, it immediately sold out and started appearing on eBay at crazy prices.
