Chiphell Forums claims to have the most recent information about NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB graphics cards. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card was first unveiled at CES 2022, with the firm promising more details later that month. Three months later, we still haven’t heard anything from NVIDIA about its flagship graphics cards, and rumours remain the best source of information on what’s going on behind the scenes and the reasons for the indefinite delay.
Both the supply of the flagship Ampere GA102 GPU dies and the PCB components are blamed for the delay. According to prior sources, the PG136C PCB will be used in the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which is an improved version of the RTX 3090 Founders Edition design. According to the newest rumours, NVIDIA’s memory dies are still having troubles and are being replaced. We don’t know what the problem is, but the graphics card will come with the fastest GDDR6X dies yet made, capable of transfer rates of up to 21 Gbps in dual-capacity setups (2 GB capacity vs 1 GB capacity).
That, combined with the new PCIe Gen 5 standard, means the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti will be a completely different beast than the RTX 3090 Non-Ti. However, all of these changes have resulted in significant delays, which even NVIDIA did not anticipate. Now, it appears that the card will be released on March 29th, which is the end of this month, and will arrive just in time for AMD’s rDNA 2 Radeon RX 6000 graphics card portfolio to be refreshed with a whole new flagship, the RX 6950 XT, next month.
In addition to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, the report claims that NVIDIA has essentially abandoned its 16 GB GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics card. Based on the data we’ve seen, the 16 GB edition was certainly real, but it appears like NVIDIA doesn’t anticipate much of a market for it and will instead wait for the next-gen parts to replace it when they hit shelves around a rumoured September 2022 debut.
