A year and a half ago, the NVIDIA 3090 model graphics card that disappeared for many years officially returned, and the RTX 3090 graphics card was born, debuting at the peak and directly sitting on the throne of the flagship card king. Players all felt that the RTX 3090's card throne should be able to sit firmly until the next generation of graphics cards were released, but they did not expect that Boss Huang actually had a big move.
On March 29, NVIDIA officially released the RTX 30 series of new card emperor RTX 3090Ti, directly put RTX 3090 please take the throne, RTX 3090Ti is NVIDIA for so many years, another new suffix code, the real performance king, flagship card king!
Sotai also released the first time to release the ban on the shelves of two flagship non-public card royalty: RTX 3090Ti-24GD6X PGF OC and RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO, the appearance of the two graphics cards design styles are very different, but the inner design and materials are well-deserved non-public card emperors, let's take a look!
In terms of core parameters, the two RTX 3090Ti are equipped with the strongest core under the ampere architecture codenamed GA102-350, with 10,752 CUDA stream processors, and are configured with up to 24GB of GDDR6X high-speed video memory, with a memory frequency of up to 21000MHz, while the two Sotime non-public RTX 3090Ti core frequency is the same, the reference frequency is 1560MHz, and the boost acceleration frequency is 1890MHz, which can exert stronger core performance.
In terms of graphics card design, the two Sotec feature cards have gone in two different styles, first take a look at the RTX 3090Ti-24GD6X PGF OC graphics card of the SOTECH flagship PGF series that domestic players are more familiar with.
The Soté RTX 3090Ti PGF OC continues the sci-fi space starship design of the PGF series, which is both personality and luxury. The new Coroner®®-wide illumination system supports ARGB illumination partition control, 16.8 million colors to adjust at will, and dozens of preset lighting effects, making your graphics card the brightest star in the universe.
The biggest change in appearance is that the overall thickness of the heat sink of the graphics card has increased again, from the original 3 slots to the 4 slot design, the overall look is more thick, of course, the heat dissipation specifications have also been greatly improved, ensuring the thermal efficiency of the graphics card.
Aurora armor backplane is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, through a multi-point anti-lock structure, to protect the graphics card PCB will not bend and deform; at the same time play a role in reducing the memory and PCB temperature; specially added PF LOGO faith lamp dot the back panel, the new convection penetration heat dissipation design, taking into account the overall aesthetics at the same time, so that the heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved.
Beneath the gorgeous exterior, it is full of black technology. The new magic light synchronization technology unifies the graphics card lighting system through the graphics card MCU core light control module, so that the PGF graphics card and the chassis fan, CPU heatsink and other chassis light effects to achieve global synchronization.
Sottech RTX 3090Ti PGF OC inherits the quality of Sotech's "Stacking King", the graphics card adopts 8 heat pipe three-fan design, and the interior is equipped with a large area of VC heating board to ensure the core thermal conductivity of the GPU, and the heat dissipation material at any cost is only to create a flagship graphics card cooling system.
The change in power supply is also very large, mainly in terms of power supply interface, using a new 12PIN external power supply interface, which is a new power supply interface that has not been used by all graphics cards before, and the card comes with a 3 * 8pin to 12pin power cord, and players do not need to worry about the unsuitable power interface. There are also high-end power supplies with a new native 12Pin interface on the market, such as the TT PF1 1250W Platinum Edition used in the test platform below.
Next, let's take a look at another flagship non-public card Emperor Sottech RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO, which is a high-end model sold by SOTED worldwide, maintaining the mandatory box of the flagship graphics card, and is also ingenious in the overall design of the graphics card.
Figure 11
In terms of appearance, the Sotecté RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO adopts a holographic aurora design that subverts the inherent image of traditional graphics cards, and the Sotecté RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 AMP HOLO products that apply this design concept have been commended by the Red Dot Award.
The overall design of the graphics card integrates many elements such as science fiction, natural aurora, e-sports, and future technology, which perfectly integrates the beauty of nature and the beauty of science and technology, and presents it on the graphics card, bringing a unique effect of the future punk technology wind.
In order to restore the characteristics of the Aurora on the graphics card, Sotecté's design and engineering teams worked hard to find new materials, fine-tuning several times to achieve the best results. Finally, with a unique electroplating process, some of the card body presents a translucent iridescent effect, showing an aurora-like effect, with the lighting effect from the perspective below, the color change is dazzling.
The back of the graphics card also adopts a one-piece molded alloy die-cast backplane, which increases the overall structural stability of the graphics card, brings security to the graphics card PCB, prevents PCB deformation, protects electronic components, and also plays a certain auxiliary heat dissipation effect.
In addition, the graphics card backplane and heat sink adopt multi-point distributed installation design, and the design of structural parts of alloy reinforcement bones allows the overall structure of the graphics card to be further reinforced, so that the PCB is evenly stressed and the bending is reduced.
In terms of heat dissipation, the same pile is full of material, in the interior of the Sotec RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO graphics card, a large area of VC heat transfer plate is used to conduct heat, and 8 cylindrical ice vein heat pipes are tightly embedded in it using non-destructive embedding technology, with a full coverage of thickened nickel-plated fins, to achieve faster, more uniform and efficient thermal conductivity.
The front of the graphics card is equipped with 3 large-size fans of 10cm, with up to 11 fan blades, which increases the airflow by more than 10% compared with the previous generation of fans, brings stronger wind pressure and air flow, realizes no dead angle wind flow coverage, and can cooperate with the internal heat dissipation components of the graphics card to achieve a better heat dissipation effect.
In terms of power supply, the new 12Pin external power supply interface, 18+3 phase SEP power supply design, selected custom electronic materials and parts, and high-specification power supply design are also adopted, which brings stable and efficient power supply guarantee to the graphics card.
This flagship new card emperor is released that is, the ban is lifted and put on the shelves, the next is the flagship new card emperor of the real machine performance test part, let us reveal together, the new generation of card emperor it is how strong it is.
The graphics card tested for this test is: Sotecté RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO, the test platform is as follows:
The two graphics cards tested are the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080Ti.
International convention, theoretical evaluation, 3DMARK first run a lap.
From the perspective of theoretical performance running scores, the theoretical performance gap between the three graphics cards is not very large, solté RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO than RTX 3080Ti theoretical performance increased by about 14%, the increase is not as large as we expected, the following specifically to see the real performance in the game test.
The actual test part of the game
As a new generation of card kings, Nasotei RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO graphics card running 1080P and 2K games are a bit boring, directly on the actual test of 4K light chasing games.
The test results of the 10 games are compared as follows:
From the actual test data, it can be seen that the gap between the basic performance and the theoretical test is not very large, and under the 4K resolution, the three top graphics cards are enough to easily control various AAA game masterpieces. Compared with the comprehensive game performance, the Sotecté RTX 3090Ti AMP EXTREME HOLO is about 13% better than the RTX 3080Ti.
summary:
1, the actual test shows that the more to the top graphics card above the RTX 3080Ti, the more difficult it is to rely on the core parameters of the heap to open the performance gap, so the significance of the release of the RTX 3090Ti is more to draw a perfect end to the RTX 30 series.
2, RTX 3090Ti value is currently irreplaceable the strongest card king position, a strong core with 24GB GDDR6X specification video memory, for many graphics rendering and advanced content creators, it is undoubtedly the strongest productivity tool at present.
3, if it is just an ordinary gamer, there is no pursuit of extreme hobbies, RTX 3080Ti is the most worthy choice of game graphics card, because RTX 3090Ti flagship card king, than RTX 3080Ti more than 13% of the performance, the actual game more than 10 frames, less than a few frames, for the game smoothness does not have much impact.
