Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 TURBO 24GB Blower

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 is one of the first consumer graphics card based on the Ampere architecture, which in turn is the second generation of NVIDIA GPUs to offer hardware raytracing and other advanced features under their RTX branding. The performance increase this video card brings varies greatly depending on workflow, with the biggest improvements coming in areas like 3D rendering, video editing, and game engines. Compared to the previous 20 Series models, the RTX 3090 can be more than twice as fast in some applications - but not every program or game will see that much gain. In contrast, compared to the less expensive RTX 3080, most users would gain a 10-20% boost - along with 140% more VRAM, which can make a much bigger difference in many real-world situations.

This variant from Gigabyte uses a single-fan, blower-style cooler. That means most of the heat generated by the card is exhausted out the back of the system, making this design ideal for multi-GPU configurations. In trade it will make a lot more noise under load, since the one fan has to run at much higher RPMs in order to dissipate the same amount of heat as the two or three fans on other variants.

Finally, in regards to connectivity, there are two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a plugs supporting a total of up to four displays at a maximum resolution of 7680x4320 (8K).
