I. Introduction
Before the mushroom had a friend, looking for mushrooms to install a computer, but at that time the price of the graphics card was hugely high, 3070 was 1W smaller, not that the budget was not enough, but the cost performance was too low, so he used his old graphics card to top it first, ready to wait for the price of the graphics card to be reduced.
Mushroom this friend, I heard that is a doctoral student in communication, the specific profession is not too understanding, but she bought graphics cards mainly for professional purposes, running some calculations and simulations. Some time ago, I asked a question, whether there will be 16GB of video memory RTX3070 or 3070Ti listed, because 12GB of video memory is not enough. However, the 2GB single GDDR6X memory particles have indeed been mass-produced, but it will take some time until the graphics card equipped with this memory particle is on the market. And, who knows if Lao Huang will do the thing of upgrading video memory to graphics cards such as 3070 and 3070Ti.
The strength of Lao Huang's scalpel is indeed there, but until now, the 30 series graphics card does not seem to have appeared in the two graphics cards with different video memory capacity. Whether it is RTX2060 12G, or RTX3080 12G, in addition to the difference in memory capacity and RTX2060 6G, RTX3080 10G, there are also some big differences in core specifications.
Just some time ago, the RTX3090Ti with the full version of the GA102 core was listed, with a memory capacity of 24G, and the price continued to decline after the listing. The memory capacity is right, the performance is good enough, friends can't wait, and finally got a low-key GIGABYTE Magic Shadow RTX3090 Ti Gaming OC. Before the friend transitioned to use the 1080 is Gigabyte's Gaming OC, full loaded for many years, has not been a problem, this time the friend chose this series of graphics cards.
Second, Gigabyte RTX3090 Ti Gaming OC Magic Eagle 24G graphics card out of the box
