Nvidia makes the RTX 3090 Ti look dated

After several months of development, the DLSS3 patch for Cyberpunk 2077 Also available to the general public. Since mid-October, the press, including PCGH, has already done so Access to a trial version. So the final version was a long-awaited step and will most likely achieve it Improvements in optics with – Even if the crown jewel of the app, the ray tracing multiplier mode, is still missing.

RTX 3090 Ti vs. RTX 4000

Nvidia does not miss the opportunity Drum for DLSS3. The phrase “double the frame rate” has been heard many times since the RTX 4090 was released. The performance gains are impressive too. In addition, there is a reflex package in DLSS3 to reduce latency. In Nvidia’s own benchmarks, this means that at least the RTX 4090 with DLSS performance in Ultra HD with Raytracing Ultra jumps from 41.8 without DLSS to 138fps, 3.3 times faster. With the RTX 4080, it’s up to 3.8 times that, specifically from 26.3 to 102.5 fps. The setup is four times faster with the RTX 4070 Ti, which goes from a jerky 20.8 without DLSS to 84.4 fps with DLSS3. The RTX 3090 Ti, the former flagship for 2249 (!) Euros, sees this for the first time Released at the end of March 2022, relatively old appearance. 21.0fps without DLSS and 57.5fps with DLSS v2, mind you, in Nvidia files. See the gallery below for quality placement criteria.

Compared to the RTX 4070 Ti, the RTX 3090 Ti looks really bad at fps. But not only that, Nvidia also makes comparisons in terms of power efficiency, which shouldn’t flatter the once expensive RTX 3090 Ti and its owners. This is the power consumption of the RTX 3090 Ti in Cyberpunk 2077 (Buy now 59.99 euros ) In the exact above scenario (Ultra HD, Raytracing Ultra, and DLSS performance with DLSS2 and 3) is relatively high: Nvidia measures 388.1 watts on a Core i9-12900K with 32GB RAM, the RTX 4090 is 310.2 watts by comparison, the RTX 4080 at 256.6 watts and the RTX 4070 Ti at 240.4 watts. Nvidia has already focused on Energy efficiency is driven by Ada GPUs.

At the time, it was made clear that the GPU Boost algorithms on RTX 30 GPUs increased the clock frequency until the performance cap was reached, in this case, TGP. With Ada GPUs, you first encounter other limits, for example the maximum clock frequency or the maximum voltage. One can “reduce overall performance in order to save energy”. For example, the scenario is given that the GPU is limited by the CPU or the GPU load is relatively low. Then the GPU’s boost clock frequencies still reach the maximum GPU frequency, but the power consumption is sometimes lower than TGP, according to Nvidia.

Overall, Nvidia makes the RTX 3090 Ti, the previous flagship, look relatively old. How do you like the comparisons? Use the comment function and tell us what you think.
