Yikes, the RTX 3090 Ti really will draw 450W+

Specs for the upcoming MSI RTX 3090 Ti Suprim X have been leaked, confirming some of the rumours we've been hearing about this new GPU. If you're thinking about getting one of these cards, you will want to make sure your power supply has at least a rated wattage of 1000W…

The screenshot was shared by @wnxod, detailing MSI's upcoming RTX 3090 Ti graphics card. Based on a GA102 GPU with 10752 CUDA cores, the graphics can boost up to 1.9GHz (in Extreme mode) through MSI Control Center software. In addition, it features 24GB of the revised GDDR6X memory clocked at 21Gbps across a 384-bit bus.

The card will be powered by 3x 8-pin power connectors instead of the new 16-pin power connector we've heard lately. Rated TDP is set at 480W, about 30W more than the reference model, and a recommended PSU should be capable of delivering at least 1000W.

Nvidia was rumoured to launch the RTX 3090 alongside the RTX 3050 on January 27th. However, considering the alleged BIOS and hardware issues that led the company to order partners to halt the production of these cards, that may not happen. In any case, Nvidia has promised to unveil more about the graphics card later this month.
