3090Ti or 3090

i own lots of cards

amd 5700xt

amd 5600xt
amd 5600
amd 5500xt

w6600

most all of the cards above have a place in mining

maybe not the amd w6600 too costly and low hashrate

in a magical world i would want a2000 and a4500 nothing else and all in miderdude cases.

but the world is not magical and I have all of those above.

to me the op question was 3090 vs 3090ti

and the 3090ti are better in everyway but they are fat fat fat. 3.5 slots

3090ti released half year before 40xx release date.

Remember when 2080ti'ers got 3070'd ??..well it is nice to own one but don't go full blast on those 3090ti's

In crypto "timing" is a huge factor.. 3090's x3 the 1080ti's and ROI'd..and that is a very good thing.

3090ti x3 the 1080ti too, imagine if the 4090 x4 or x5 the 1080ti.

1080ti~2080ti~3070

3090 vs 3090ti is like 1080ti vs 2080ti ...what if the 4070 will be more energy efficient version of 3090/3090ti in 6 months.

40xx series will come with gddr7, that's the signal...always follow vram memory upgrades

40xx series will come with gddr7, that's the signal...always follow vram memory upgrades 

the 3090ti is 7 or 8 % better then the 3090.

and it is priced just about the same.

I have 17 or 18 3090 cards and 2 3090ti cards. the 3090ti are better.

the 1080ti and the 2080ti had a large price jump. like 700 to 1100 usd

and hash was only 50 to 55

so the 3090ti is decent enough.

of course if we go pos in July all cards go in the shitter. Since mining ⛏ with gpus will take a huge hit.

50 to 55 hash will be like the "7% or 8% better" like you said.

it all comes down to price..if it is just about the same, why not?...price will dictate, there are different price variables around the world..to some area 400$-500$ will be the price difference between 3090 and 3090ti too.

Yes, by the release of the 3090 ti, Nvidia, although not without errors at the beginning of production, still achieved the appearance of excellent performance cards, having worked out the process on early models, but power consumption, it seems to me, does not justify a performance gain of 5% from the 3090 and yes, the sizes reach up to 4 slots, such as the Zotac GeForce RTX 3090 Ti PGF OC.

@philipma1957

Which 90ti you have? Which fan speed and the other things? gpu/ram temp? watt/efficiency? Thanks

[deedeeranged]

Yes, temperatures, especially of memory chips, are indeed a problem, which, however, is solved with the help of undervolting or using immersion baths, but there is still an ever-increasing energy consumption, which after the release of 4090 at which TDP is expected to be more than 600W.

Yep I read about this 4090 using 600Watt online, I'm guessing and thinking how this GPU will perform in cooling, a powerful GPU that uses 600watt can't be cool using a thermal pad and paste, I hope Nvidia knows what they are doing this time around, we dont want to experience RTX 3080s and 3090s all over again.

I think this is the maximum power consumption, but the real power will be about 300-400 watts. At 600 watts, a more modern cooling system is tedious. Although AMD had a dual-chip AMD Radeon HD 7990 graphics card that consumed about 500 watts, but the miners used it with the correct settings and downvolting, so its consumption was about 350 watts.

There is an article and I believe also a test to be found about the powerconsumption on IgorsLab

Makes interesting reading.

It is interesting reading there that 40xx is gddr6x, worst case scenario is 40xx series is that it is a refresh like the 20xx to the 10xx series.

If 40xx are refresh, then buying 3090s or  3090ti's now is a better choice because by the time the 40xx are released you might be closer to ROI or you already ROI'd.

If Nvidia comes out with a LHR version again, they'll be complete assholes. I would take a closer look at the announcements of the new 7000 series from AMD.

Twitter leaker Greymon55 suggests the RTX 4090 will become available in September 2022. This stacks up with Nvidia’s previous behaviour, as it launched both the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics cards in September 2020.

I have evga 3090 ti ftw3

I have evga 3090 ti xc3

But recently evga dropped the 3090 ftw3 to 1699

so to me it is now the better deal.

NVIDIA RTX 4090/4080/4070 3DMark performance
Hardware leaker Kopite7kimi now claims to know the performance of upcoming GeForce RTX 40 series.
This time around, Kopite is revealing the performance of RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 models, both of which are expected after RTX 4090 makes a debut somewhere in early Q4. He noted that those scores are based on previously mentioned specs, which in this case means AD103 GPU with 10240 CUDA cores for RTX 4080 and AD104 GPU with 7168 CUDA cores for the RTX 4070.

It looks nice that the 4070 is Gddr6 only and not with Gddr6x which gets hot real quick,also the spec does not look bad either,I think at near 300 Watt this card can do the same as the 3080 or in a optimistic scenario near the same as the 3080 ti since this was the case with 3070 vs 2080 ti.It looks like the best choice for miners compared to other cards,hopefully these cards hit the market soon as I am waiting for the price to drop real quick to build my new mining rig,I am ready to start small with just one card,I already have the rig assembled,so hopefully the price of these will not be as expensive as when we were in the full bull run.

The 4070 graphics card will probably be available in the 1st or 2nd quarter of next year. It's still a long time to wait and we don't know what profit will be in mining. It is better to buy proven 3070 video cards after the end of ethereum mining.
