As the web roars with rumors concerning the as but unannounced GeForce RTX 30 collection playing cards, an RTX 3090 CEO has just appeared on the web, but it surely seems to be a reasonably crass faux. If you’re aware of particular editions from Nvidia, that the CED Edition are significantly uncommon and highly effective variations of sure fashions of graphics playing cards. The most up-to-date was the Titan V CEO Edition, and it isn’t unattainable that Jensen Huang desires to place his title on an distinctive mannequin of GeForce 30 collection.
According to the picture circulating, this RTX 3090 can be displayed at 3,499 {dollars} and would ship 48 GB of VRAM as an alternative of the 24 of the bottom mannequin. It would due to this fact be a variation that targets an ultra-specific market the place customers want loads of reminiscence (AI, Computing). But on nearer inspection, the picture mentions GDDR6X, i.e. like the traditional 3090 and 3080. The downside is that the Micron firm which manufactures the GDDR6X has confirmed that the 16Gb (2GB) modules won’t be produced earlier than 2021. Clearly, it’s due to this fact materially unattainable to suit a lot reminiscence of this sort on this card. graphic, as a result of the {hardware} simply would not exist but.
The solely technique to have a lot reminiscence can be to make use of traditional GDDR6 (not X), which permits for an enormous capability, however on the expense of the a lot decrease bandwidth. We doubt that Nvidia has launched into a “CEO Edition” card that might have decrease efficiency than the traditional 3090, which makes us say that this picture is a faux.
