NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB Specs, Benchmarks & Pricing

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 is NVIDIA's flagship consumer graphics card launched in September 2020, featuring the Ampere architecture based on the GA102 GPU (GA102-300-A1 variant). Built on Samsung's 8nm process with 28.3 billion transistors and a die size of 628 mm², it offers 10,496 CUDA cores across 82 streaming multiprocessors, 328 3rd-generation tensor cores, and 82 2nd-generation RT cores. The card features an unprecedented 24GB of GDDR6X memory running at 19.5 Gbps on a 384-bit bus, delivering 936.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. With a TDP of 350W, the RTX 3090 was designed for 8K HDR gaming and professional creative workflows. The 3rd-generation Tensor Cores support fine-grained structured sparsity (2:4 pattern), enabling up to 571 INT8 TOPS with sparsity and 143 FP16 TFLOPS for dense tensor operations. The RTX 3090 uses a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface and is one of the few consumer GPUs to support 2-way NVLink. At launch, it was positioned as the spiritual successor to NVIDIA's Titan series, offering professional-grade memory capacity in a GeForce product.

Notes

fp32TFLOPS of 35.58 calculated as 10,496 CUDA cores × 1.695 GHz boost clock × 2 ops/cycle = 35.58 TFLOPS, per TechPowerUp GPU Database. Ampere architecture features 2 FP32 ops per cycle through dedicated FP32 datapath and shared INT32/FP32 datapath.
FP16 TFLOPS of 285.5 represents Peak Sparse Tensor Core performance (approx 8x FP32).
INT8 TOPS of 570.0 represents Peak Sparse INT8 Tensor performance.
Note: Previous versions incorrectly listed dense performance (142.75 TFLOPS) as sparse. Updated to match Workstation and Ada generation metrics (285.5 TFLOPS).
Power figure of 350W is based on NVIDIA's TGP (Total Graphics Power) specification.
The RTX 3090 uses 82 of the 84 possible streaming multiprocessors on the GA102 die, with each SM containing 128 CUDA cores, 4 tensor cores, and 1 RT core.
Memory bandwidth calculated as 384-bit interface × 19.5 Gbps GDDR6X = 936.2 GB/s.
The 3rd-generation Tensor Cores support TF32 (TensorFloat-32), BF16 (BFloat16), FP16, INT8, and INT4 precisions. INT8 operates at 2x the rate of FP16, and INT4 at 4x the FP16 rate.
FP64 (double precision) performance is 1:64 ratio of FP32, yielding approximately 556 GFLOPS.
The RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti are the only GeForce 30-series cards that support 2-way NVLink for multi-GPU configurations.
Released September 24, 2020 at $1,499 USD MSRP, positioned as a "BFGPU" (Big Ferocious GPU) targeting both gamers and content creators.
