Leaker shows massive triple-slot NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders' Edition card, reveals possible RTX 3000-series pricing

[Redaktion]

Triple-slot is no doubt big, but some custom designs coming from Nvidia's AIB partners are rumored to feature 3.5-slot coolers and these will get TGP's well above the 400 W mark. Since these cards are using the 8 nm manufacturing process from Samsung, the power efficiency might prove a bit subpar compared to AMD's Big Navi produced on the TSMC's 7 nm nodes.

400W...?! I know this is a Ti-tier card, but Ampere TDP doesn't bode well for laptops, does it...

And I suspect 8nm is cheaper to use now than 10nm was then, but I don't think they're gonna be passing along the savings unless AMD is able to force them to, but that probably still isn't happening this gen.

"so that price might actually be decent"

Bollocks! $200 more for 40% more performance two years later, and you're trying to sell that as "decent"? Sod off. You can buy an entire gaming PC and a monitor for that much money.

Even if it's "only" $1200 it'll be just as much of a joke as the 2080Ti is at that price. If it's a penny more, I literally don't care what downsides there are to the AMD alternatives - I will not be buying Nvidia again until they stop this nonsense.
