NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition Potentially Pictured: 3-slot Behemoth!
The rumor mill has no weekend break, and it churned out photos of what appears to be an NVIDIA Founders Edition version of the upcoming GeForce RTX 3090 next to the equivalent FE RTX 2080, with the latter looking like a toy compared to the massive triple slotter. The cooler comprises of the same design we discussed in detail in June, with the unique obverse dual-fan + aluminium heatsink seen in the images below. We also covered alleged PCB photos, in case you missed them before, and all lines up with the most recent leaks. The only difference here is that pricing for the RTX 3090 FE is claimed to be $1400, a far cry from the $2000 mark we saw for certain aftermarket offerings in the makings, and yet significantly higher from the previous generation- a worrying trend that we eagerly await to see justified with performance, before we even get into case compatibility concerns with the increased length here. Either way, if the images below are accurate, we are equally curious about the cooling capability and how it affects partner solutions and pricing.

Buy three and you can build yourself a house. Man, this is easy. :D AMD team will have a good day :p
Regardless I'm not even remotely touching this even on a discount. Triple slot screams 'lacking efficiency' and if RT means we have to go back to the early 2000's in terms of GPU quality of life, they can stick it right up their behind. Its arguably worse than Turing if that is the case.
its not worth it, tbh. Come back when you've refined this enough so it fits in your usual power envelope. I'm not your 2000 dollar paying beta tester. GTFO
But... I'm still on a wait and see stance. So far nothing is official.Yep. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. The whole design is 4chan level ridiculousEnd result, you get a cheaper GPU that is 5% faster than what you had. Across the whole stack.
Well played? :p At least we've got Intel, right? :oops:

If AMD offers 2060 Super performance at ~200-dollar price range (wasn't the RX480 pretty much that, at introduction? gtx970 level perf at 230 bucks?), people will see them like manna from heaven and nVidia can keep pretending to be god's gift to gamers with their big unwieldy cards that cost as much as functional second hand cars.

Interesting how many leaks appear on "Green side" and almost nothing is known about the RX 6080/6090... Sign of delay or whim?
I think the 3090 is still a cutdown, so when AMD release something better Nvidia simply takes out of pocket the 3090 ti/3090S.
If AMD offer that, Nvidia will have something similar, both in performance and price. Look at RX 5600XT and RTX 2060 or RX 5500XT and GTX 1650 Super, for example.
So yeah, Nvidia can launch a RTX 3090 at insane price, thinking they are the king of the castle or the owners of the world, and sell a ton of cards in the mid-range in the process. One thing does not invalidate the other.
My guess is that it's a clockwise-spinning, high-static pressure fan, forcing air through the extremely dense, very restrictive heatsink.
At that price range I would also expect a 12 years warranty.
Be lucky to get five, things tend to double in performance making these cards pretty wall mounts
The 1660 cost 10% more than the 1060 3GB, but offered 35% more performance at 1080p, in addition to increasing the VRAM to 6GB.
The 1660Ti cost 12% more (if we ignore the higher Founders Edition price of 1060), but it had 36% more performance at 1080p than 1060 6GB.
but it doesn’t matter as I will build a mid-range system for reasonable amount of money only
