During the presentation of the NVIDIA RTX 3090 , NVIDIA already showed its performance with the tests that the Company had carried out internally. But we need other test results from a third party entity to confirm or deny. Will this new card beat the RTX 2080 Ti , known for its performance in gaming? We will actually see its performance via the 3DMark reference software.

Why test under 3DMark?

3DMark is a well-known software for benchmarking. It is mainly used to test graphics cards using DirectX technology. It allows you to give a score to determine the performance of the graphics rendering. In the tests, the machine's processor must also be taken into account when talking about a combined score under 3DMark. In this case, you must carry out the tests on the same machine (or at least with an identical processor). In addition, 3DMark is also updated regularly to ensure increased performance testing.

RTX 3090 card configurations

It is a graphics card optimized by Ampere. Its performance is pushed to the extreme thanks to AI, sampling by DLSS (Deep Learning). This makes it possible to optimize RayTracing and provide excellent graphics rendering. The card features 10496 CUDA cores and has 24 GB of GDDR6X memory . The boost frequency is 1.70 GHz. It allows you to have an 8K image at 60 FPS. The card occupies 3 slots and consumes a power of 350 Watts. It costs €1,550 on the NVIDIA website.

The performance of the NVIDIA RTX 3090 card under 3DMark

We will raise the performance test results of this card with 2 titles. The processor used is an Intel Core i9-7980XE. We will choose Port Royal and Time Spy Extreme. Here are the scores obtained by NVIDIA RTX 3090: For Port Royal, it managed to have 24,272 points; She scores 16,890 in Time Spy Extreme. These scores are well above the points obtained by the RTX 2080 Ti card. Indeed, the older generation obtains a score of 21,033 on Port Royal and 16,248 on Time Spy Extreme. These results are available on the 3DMark website. Other titles have been tested and the new generation of NVIDIA cards show good performance compared to the old generation RTX 2080 Ti. So we can confirm that the RTX 3090 card is much better.
