About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2022 with a MSRP of $1,999. It is built on the Ampere GPU microarchitecture (codename GA102) and is manufactured on a 8 nm process.
Memory
The RTX 3090 Ti has 24 GB of GDDR6X memory, with a 1,313 MHz memory clock and a 384 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 1.01 Tb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The RTX 3090 Ti includes 10,752 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,560 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,860 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 336 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 112 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 336 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 84 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The RTX 3090 Ti is a large graphics card, occupying 3 PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. With a thermal design power (TDP) of 450 W and a large, 3-slot size, it is recommended to use a power supply of 850 W and a case with sufficient space to accommodate the card. Compare your card's model and your case's dimensions to verify compatibility.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The RTX 3090 Ti has the 10th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 66.43% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 69,481 score and $1,999 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 34.76. This is the 75th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
About the AMD Radeon R9 380 GPU
The AMD Radeon R9 380 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2015 with a MSRP of $199. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Antigua) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The R9 380 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,375 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 176 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The R9 380 includes 1,792 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 970 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The R9 380 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 190 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The R9 380 has the 160th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 11.66% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 12,191 score and $199 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 61.26. This is the 53rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
