Rumor: Is NVIDIA working on a GeForce RTX 3090 Super with 21 Gbps memory and a TGP of 450W?

Ultimate gaming experience is MSFS2020 or Subnautica in VR. In my case I have OLED too!

 

I'll put it this way, if I had the disposable income, I would definitely want a 3090 at MSRP. As we all know, they are still selling for more than $1000 USD over that amount. The 3090 Super doesn't have a chance of selling below $3000

 

The 1000W BIOS can max out the 2x8pin 3090, it just screws up the power reading a bit because it duplicates the power reading of plug #1 as plug #3 (not physically exist). I have the 1000W BIOS on my 3090 and during Timespy, the power reading is 750W but infact it's using 520W, enough to push my 3090 to 2205mhz/1.093V in Tmespy.

Not that I use that daily though, for 24/7 usage I undervolt my 3090 to stock performance but using like 260-300W

Ultimate gaming experience is flying the B787 daily

 

I guess we all just have to work harder now and get those 9000 usd parts, also a solar power plant to keep it going after fan hits the $hit(total cyberwarfare?!)

 

can 3x8-pin really do 1000w ?

 

Even 8+8+6 power connectors can pull 1000W+ like the 980Ti Kingpin

 

What you can argue is whether it's safe... cables pulling way more than they are rated for, and must get really really hot.

 

If you don't use cheap PCIe power cable extension, a standard 8pin PCIe(16 gauges wire) can sustain 300W per cable indefinitely, 150W per cable is really on the conservative side with some PSU maker cheap out with 20 gauge wires.

I was using piggyback PCIe power for a long time with 300W+ GPUs and not notice any performance issue.

I just checked and high quality 16AWG 8pin power can handle up to 400W (11A per wire and the 8pin has 3x 12V wire)

 

Reperibilità zero, prezzo fuori mercato...ma va in te casen Nvidia de cara

 

That's still only 300+300+150... doesnt give you 1100 watt, let alone 1650 watt.

And regarding this stuff, it's deffo better to be safe than sorry... unless you like house fires.

 

Well 1650W is the peak, not sustain load, any extreme overclocker would be running out of LN2 before the PCIe cable get hot enough to cause fire

 

You're correct but what you quoted is the rated value 8 pin rated 300w doesn't mean that you can't push more wattages through it though. Think back to the exploding Gigabyte PSU's rated for 850w, but when you put 1150w load on it still did it as OCP didn't trip, but it was poorly made an basically exploded cheap components. Thicker gauge wires can handle more than 300w just means your out of specification for the 8pin connector is all.

 

You guys do what you want, but im not running more power through power cables than they are rated for.
