Seeing that the 2022 CES exhibition is coming, as the first annual consumer electronics event, it is destined to attract the attention of manufacturers, media and users. For the graphics card market, 2021 is undoubtedly a year of pain for DIY players, and the crazy premium of graphics cards and the release of air cards make people hope for 2022. But the first thing to come is the Ampere architecture product line update, NVIDIA will release the high-end RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 3080 12GB, RTX 3070 Ti 16GB and GeForce RTX 3050 including four products. It is reported that the RTX 3090 Ti will be listed at 22:00 Beijing time on December 27.
In terms of specifications, the upcoming RTX 3090 Ti uses a GA102 full core, integrates 10752 CUDA, 24GB GDDR6X video memory (20Gbps+), the entire card consumes 450W, the pricing is still 1499 US dollars, and the overall performance is about 5% higher than that of the RTX 3090. In terms of details, the memory particles of the RTX 3090 Ti are 2GB of a single piece, which can achieve 24GB per side, further reducing heat generation. Also used is the RTX 3070 Ti 16GB, but the release of the latter may be postponed to after the Spring Festival.
For GeForce RTX 40 series gaming graphics cards that are also in the spotlight or will be released in 2022, there is no more specific release date news at this time. The new RTX 40 series GPUs will use TSMC's 5nm process, and it is suspected that they will not use MCM multi-chip packaging but will still use a single-chip design, and their GPU frequencies are said to reach 2.5GHz.
In terms of performance, the new "AD102" GPU may have up to 18,432 CUDA cores, compared to the RTX 3090's 10,496 CUDA cores. In addition, the GeForce RTX 40 flagship model may also have a 384-bit bus, and the video memory may still be 24GB GDDR6X.
Of course, far water cannot quench the near thirst. If you have friends who have high-end graphics card needs around the New Year, you can still look forward to the upcoming release of the RTX 3090 Ti, but in line with the principle of grabbing is earning, the hand speed on the day of the release date is the key.
