The RTX 3090 Ti is an overclocked 3090 with a ludicrously high power rating of 450 watts, a ~30% increase over the original. Is that dumb? Surely...

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition is another stunning addition to the RTX 30 Series Founders lineage, and a monster for 4K gaming. Just be prepared to pay a disproportionate premium over the RTX 3080 for the extra muscle.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition is the fastest graphics card in the world at gaming, but just barely. The real draw for this card is its 24GB of memory, and what that unlocks for prosumers.

The RTX 3090 represents the pinnacle of Ampere power you can purchase today, wrapped in the elegance of Nvidia's latest Founders Edition design. But its gaming value is overshadowed by the cheaper and far more sensible RTX 3080.

The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition is NVIDIA's mightiest card from the Ampere lineup. We previously looked at various custom designs. Today, we're checking out the Founders Edition to test how well it does in terms of heat and noise, and whether it's an alternative to the even more expensive custom designs.
