NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB GDDR6
The 24GB GDDR6X framebuffer on the Ampere architecture makes this card a standout for memory-intensive workloads that exceed typical gaming demands. This Founders Edition model features a distinctive dual-fan flow-through thermal design in a compact 2-slot form factor. It is best for AI researchers and 3D artists running large model training or complex renders locally, rather than 1080p gamers.
