See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

2022

Why buy it

  • 85.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 5% more Tensor Cores for AI-powered features like DLSS and frame generation, which can increase overall FPS in supported games (336 vs 320).
  • 200% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (24 GB vs 8 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
