Why information technology matters: Tech fans accept been waiting in apprehension for this day ever since Nvidia, AMD, and Intel announced they're property their respective CES 2022 virtual events within a few hours of each other. Team Green's starts at 8am PT / 11am ET, and y'all can lookout man the whole thing correct here. Nosotros're expecting some exciting reveals, including the long-rumored RTX 3090 Ti.

Given the flood of reports that claim an RTX 3090 Ti volition arrive in January, along with alleged photographs of the card/packaging, the declaration of a new Ampere flagship seems pretty much inevitable.

The RTX 3090 Ti is expected to characteristic a whopping 450W TDP—100W more than than that vanilla RTX 3090—along with a GA102-250 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores (256 more than than the RTX 3090), 24GB GDDR6X VRAM, 84 clusters, 84 RT cores, 336 Tensor cores, and 128 ROPs. We've also heard that information technology will come with 21 Gbps memory allowing for a total theoretical bandwidth of over 1TB/s and feature 2GB modules instead of the 1GB modules used on the electric current model.

While the RTX 3090 Ti sounds impressive, the chances of information technology being in plentiful stock and at a price that isn't much higher than an already substantial MSRP are slim to none. Nvidia will be hoping those problems are less apparent at the other end of the Ampere bureaucracy, where nosotros're expecting to run across a desktop version of the RTX 3050 appear.

The entry-level RTX 3050 is rumored to feature the GA106-150 GPU and may rival Intel's upcoming Arc Alchemist A380.

Nosotros could come across some new laptop GPUs at the result—a mobile RTX 3070 Ti has been rumored—and possibly some refreshed versions of current cards, such as an RTX 3080 12GB and an RTX 3070 Ti 16GB.

Abroad from graphics cards, Nvidia says information technology will be showcasing "the latest breakthroughs in accelerated computing" during the conference, which covers pattern, simulation, and democratic driving, as well every bit games. Come back subsequently today to come across how many predictions we got right.
