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 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile is a mobile graphics card that launched in Q1 2023. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD107) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4050 Mobile has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 96 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192 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 RTX 4050 Mobile includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,455 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,755 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 80 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 20 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 50 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The RTX 4050 Mobile has the 73rd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.13% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
