We've got nine games in our existing test suite, plus 15 additional gaming benchmarks (one more than we did with the 3080). We're also focusing on 4K ultra performance, with 1440p ultra being a secondary consideration. Again, we'll be updating this review with more information in the coming days. Sorry if you wanted more for the overclocking section the calendar is a harsh mistress and just didn't provide enough time to run more tests. Still, don't go too crazy - no one wants to fry a $1,500 GPU. There's concern from some corners of the web suggesting the chips get hot, though our experience so far suggests overclocks to 20.5 Gbps are viable for benchmarks. For the GDDR6X, we managed a seemingly stable 20.5 Gbps, but we don't currently have the tools to read the individual memory module temperatures.
That will also mean more power, of course, though the cooler and fans seem to be up to the task. Our initial testing, meanwhile, is focused on what you get out of the box.īased on what we saw with the RTX 3080 FE, you can likely get a stable 50-100 MHz bump in GPU clocks with a bit of tuning. If you want to shoot for a world record, by all means, break out the LN2 and strip the cooler and have at it. The stock clocks are slightly lower than the 3080 for a reason, and typical boost clocks still hit 1800-1850 MHz in our testing. We'll be updating this section with more details, but let's just make this clear: This is a $1,500 GPU, already pushing the limits of what most people would deem sensible in terms of power and performance. As such, we haven't had time to investigate overclocking fully yet. We had less time with the RTX 3090 FE than the RTX 3080 FE, and we're adding some professional workloads to the mix because this is that sort of card.
