NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Custom Models Production Reportedly Halted Amidst BIOS & Design Issues

According to multiple sources, NVIDIA has asked its board partners to halt the production of their upcoming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti custom graphics cards.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Reportedly Has Issues Related To BIOS & Hardware Design, Custom Model Production Allegedly Halted

Based on reports from TweakTown's and Videocardz's sources, it looks like NVIDIA has asked their board partners to end the production of their upcoming GeForce RTX 3090 Ti custom models. The graphics menu was announced a few weeks back at CES 2022 and NVIDIA stated that they volition take more information (specs/pricing/availability) later this month. AIBs were as well expected to denote their own custom models though that may perchance exist delayed based on this new report.

Co-ordinate to Videocardz, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti bug are related to the BIOS and the hardware blueprint which means that it is non only a software-related issue only besides a fault within the reference PCB design that'south passed over to AIBs to develop their custom models around. NVIDIA is not making simply one PCB for its Founders Edition boards but they likewise blueprint a reference PCB for AIBs which can be used as a basis to develop their own PCB designs. This notwithstanding hasn't panned well in favor of NVIDIA and the PCB is now showcasing design flaws due to which production needs to exist halted.

At that place are several changes that NVIDIA has made to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti if earlier leaks are correct. Not just does it feature a total GA102 GPU cadre but it as well comes with a brand new PCB blueprint that utilizes dual-chapters 2 GB GDDR6X dies with up to 21 Gbps speeds, an insane 450W TDP blueprint, and too expected to feature a PCIe Gen 5 interface and power connector (16-pin). It'due south likely that one of those didn't work out as NVIDIA had planned.

NVIDIA has so far non confirmed any of these reports but they practice get the do good since they never officially announced the launch or availability date of the carte du jour itself. It was only announced that nosotros will become to hear more about the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti later this calendar month and that may still happen. The leaked launch engagement suggested the menu to be fully unveiled on 27th January but embargoes & NDA's on unannounced cards get changed all the time (simply like the endless specs for Ampere cards that we have seen before). But earlier today, nosotros saw Gigabyte list down several of its custom models at EEC then those may or may not be office of the batch that has been affected by the issues & may demand to be recalled.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Graphics Bill of fare Specifications - Full Fatty GA102 GPU & 24 GB GDDR6X Memory

At the heart of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card lies the GA102 GPU. The GA102 is one of the many Ampere GPUs that we will be getting on the gaming segment. The GA102 GPU is the fastest gaming GPU that NVIDIA has produced. The GPU is based on Samsung'due south 8nm custom process node designed specifically for NVIDIA and features a full of 28 Billion transistors. It measures 628mm2 which makes it the 2nd biggest gaming GPU always produced right below the Turing TU102 GPU.

The new shader core on the NVIDIA Ampere compages is 2.7x faster, the new RT cores are 1.7x faster while the new Tensor cores are up to 2.7x faster than the previous generation Turing GPUs. The 2nd Generation RT cadre delivers dedicated hardware-accelerated ray-tracing functioning & features twice the ray/triangles intersection with concurrent RT graphics and compute operations.

For the GeForce RTX 3090, NVIDIA has enabled a total of 84 SM units on its flagship which results in a total of 10,752 CUDA cores (vs 82 SM / 10496 cores on RTX 3090 Non-Ti). In addition to the CUDA cores, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 Ti likewise comes packed with next-generation RT (Ray-Tracing) cores, Tensor cores, and brand new SM or streaming multi-processor units. The GPU runs at a base clock speed of 1560 MHz and a boost clock speed of 1860 MHz. The card has a TDP of 450W.

In terms of memory, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti comes packed with 240 GB of memory and that too the side by side-generation GDDR6X blueprint. With Micron'south latest and greatest graphics retentivity dies, the RTX 3090 Ti tin deliver GDDR6X memory speeds of 21 Gbps. That forth with a motorbus interface of 384-chip will evangelize a cumulative bandwidth of 1008 Gbps.

The card will be bachelor in both reference and custom flavors at launch simply considering the existing market situation, expect retail prices to vary betwixt $2500-$3000 US. There aren't whatsoever performance numbers that NVIDIA is sharing correct now but from what has been showcased, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is faster than the RTX 3090 Non-Ti and also displaces the RX 6900 XT.
