THE GRAPHICS CARD’S LIST IS SORTED AS FROM THE HIGH TO THE LOW SPECIFICATIONS.
1. NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3090
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 is high-end desktop graphics card based on the Ampere generation. It uses the big GA102 chip and offers 10,496 shaders and 24 GB GDDR6X graphics memory. Compared to the slower RTX 3080, the 3090 offers 10 – 20% higher gaming performance, but only above 4k. Still it has not enough power for 8k gaming at maximum detail settings. The RTX3090 is rated at 350 Watt but the power efficiency is still quite good.
2. NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080TI
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is an enthusiast-class graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 31st, 2021. Built on the 8 nm process, and based on the GA102 graphics processor, in its GA102-225-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The GA102 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 628 mm² and 28,300 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, which uses the same GPU but has all 10752 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti to reach the product’s target shader count. It features 10240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. Also included are 320 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 80 raytracing acceleration cores. NVIDIA has paired 12 GB GDDR6X memory with the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1365 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1665 MHz, memory is running at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective).Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti draws power from 1x 12-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 350 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface. The card’s dimensions are 285 mm x 112 mm x 40 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 1199 US Dollars.
3. NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is high-end desktop graphics card based on the Ampere generation. It uses the big GA102 chip and offers 8,704 shaders and 10 GB GDDR6X graphics memory.
The gaming performance in 4k is clearly better than the old GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (approximately 15% faster). Therefore, even demanding games should run with maximum detail settings in 4k. Enabling raytracing will however reduce the framerate and therefore maximum details won’t be playable.
The RTX3080 is produced in 8nm at Samsung and rated at 320 Watt but the power efficiency is still quite good.
4. AMD RADEAON RX 6800XT
The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a high-end graphics card by AMD, launched on October 28th, 2020. Built on the 7 nm process, and based on the Navi 21 graphics processor, in its Navi 21 XT variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon RX 6800 XT. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The Navi 21 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 520 mm² and 26,800 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon RX 6950 XT, which uses the same GPU but has all 5120 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon RX 6800 XT to reach the product’s target shader count. It features 4608 shading units, 288 texture mapping units, and 128 ROPs. The card also has 72 raytracing acceleration cores. AMD has paired 16 GB GDDR6 memory with the Radeon RX 6800 XT, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1825 MHz, which can be boosted up to 2250 MHz, memory is running at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective).Being a dual-slot card, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT draws power from 2x 8-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 300 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x HDMI 2.1, 2x DisplayPort 1.4a, 1x USB Type-C. Radeon RX 6800 XT is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface. The card’s dimensions are 267 mm x 120 mm x 50 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 649 US Dollars.
5. NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070
