Pretty much the same as the 3080 launch I would say, yeah.
this channel has been brought to you by myself isolation you can help my sanity with a simple
like And subscribe the Nvidia RTX 3090 launched on Thursday September 24th with unsurprisingly
low stock available online or at Brick and mortars if you're interested to see what I
have to say about this I suggest you go see my other video about the 3080 launch because
it was pretty much the same especially on Nvidia website it went from notify me to out
of stock like instantaneously many people are pointing to scalpers using bots but of
course it might very well just be people who want a single card who are using Bots as well
that could be possible or you know it could be some low stock stuff hot items like the
3080 and 3090 were going to sell out instantly no matter what really and there is discussion
to be had about whether or not and NVIDIA is actually selling their Founders Edition
in any meaningful quantity its something I will touch on later in this video but first
I'm going to go through specifications of the 3090 and I know you probably heard all
about it from other Tech tubers you seen all the details and all this and that but I just
want to go through really quickly and just kind of point at some things that I find interesting
about it at least so the 3090 is an incredibly powerful GPU and it is huge it is massive
that weighs almost 2 kilos.
Much like the 3080 the performances wasa overhyped with a performance being only about 10 to
15% over the 3080 and the thing that kind of bugged me the most was the whole marketing
of it the 8K marketing this 3090 will do 8K gaming look at all these professional Gamers
playing on 8K being wowed like oh my God it's 8K it’s amazing “I can’t believe it’s
not butter” well we know now that it only works in a few titles and it uses dlss to
upscale the 1440p which is impressive it still is impressive but a lot of benchmarks are
still showing that it's not really getting those kind of 60 frames per second numbers
on 8K and that's assuming you can actually afford an 8K TV in the first place which are
insanely expensive but I guess if you're someone is going to be buying an 8K TV you'll easily
be able to afford one of these cards or maybe 2 the cooler on the 3090 is almost identical
to the one on the 3080 it looks just beefier right and with all that extra weight it's
going to have better heat soak and what we seen in test so far is that it can keep the
card on full load at about 80 degrees or below with the flow through design not really affecting
CPU temps in any meaningful way coming in at 1499 USD and upward 3500 AUD I'm very sorry
Australia the 3090 price-to-performance is definitely not going to win any awards but
of course this is a Halo product and it doesn't really shout economy anyways right which brings
us to who is this card actually for because nvidia's marketing kind of led us to believe
that this card was 8K gaming the ultimate gaming experience ultimate play right and
well I guess that could be true if you're one who has a ton of money you got endless
amounts of money to spend you're that kind of person will pay for whatever you can buy
that will give you the absolute best performance go ahead buy that 3090 but really why aren't
they just marketing this to creators and I know they've made statements about that since
the launch because I think that's what who who is really for right people who can actually
utilize 24 gigabytes of RAM you know 3D modelling and rendering and although the 3090 doesn't
currently have access to some of those driver optimizations that are typically seen on a
Titan level card it could be still implemented down the road I don't really hold my breath
on it though because we're probably going to see a Titan ampere card anyways either
way if you're someone who could use the power of this car outside of gaming $1,500 is actually
kind of a great deal granted that it works well with the applications that you plan to
use it with speaking of buying the card much like the 3080 you can't buy it right now unavailable
everywhere it’ll come in stock eventually but you can go to eBay of course like most
things scalpers are bound but watch out some people are actually selling pieces of paper
in place of it and inside the description it says paper so people bought that people
bought that I don't know if they get their money back or not it is quite deceptive but
it's in the description so who knows so I don't want to dwell in this too much but I
want to kind of talk about the conspiracy theory Through the Grapevine stuff that just
take it with a grain of salt don't take it too seriously because it could all be nonsense
anyways and that's about Nvidia and their Founders Edition card in the availability
of it and it's something I've been thinking about quite a lot I’ve heard definitely
a lot of people talk about this have different theories about why it's not in stock and really
the main thing why can't you just get in line to get this Founder's Edition Card you know
like most things even if you go to other websites and you want to buy a custom card you can
go ahead and back order the thing right you can go ahead and often places I've seen near
me you can pre-order it by just putting down a deposit for even the full amount of the
card why didn't they give you that option why isn't there the option on the Nvidia website
to go ahead and pre-order essentially a founders edition 3080 or 3090 like why can't I do that
why it why won't they give me that option to have this card that is supposed to be $700
but you can't buy it are they trying to push you to buy the custom cards that's what I'm
thinking like they want to show you this beautiful card it's a beautiful card look at this look
at his cooler it's gorgeous I mean look what all the tech tubers the saying about it I
mean it it looks great doesn't it apparently it's really expensive to produce and the margins
at Nvidia is getting on these Founders edition cards is very low and it's not within the
margins that they find acceptable and what they're doing is they're producing very few
of these cards sending them out to reviewers they obviously sold some of them cuz you can
buy them from eBay I've seen a few people here try to sell them on Craigslist but I
don't suspect they're going to be back in stock and when they finally do release those
20 GB versions of the 3080 and the 16GB version of the 3070 I suspect that they're not even
going to making any Founder's edition cards like that like Nvidia is a multibillion-dollar
company that they just bought ARM for what like 40 billion dollars that's huge they have
the resources to get this thing ready I am convinced that they do not want to sell you
a Founder's Edition card leaving us to go ahead and buy the overpriced custom cards
at the premium what we already see right now is they’re crashing they’re crashing because
of the poor components that they’re putting in these cards we’re seeing that the Founder's
edition cards are basically the best cards that you can buy maybe not necessarily in
cooling right away but but for components excellent so if you want to get those out
of the custom cards you probably going to have to go ahead and buy the ROG Strix which
is the most expensive one of course not necessarily just the ROG Strix but you know other cards
at those high-end custom card variants and that's really disappointing I got to stress
this again NVIDIA why can't we get in line why can't we get in line to buy a Founder's
Edition I'm sorry I'm getting all riled up but just I’ve been watching so many videos
listening to different podcast all about this stuff and it just kind of gets on my nerves
a little bit seeing this kind of behaviour from a huge company that has so much money
let me cool down let me cool down okay so I could very likely be completely wrong about
all of this stuff right could be completely wrong just looking like Charlie day getting
into conspiracy theories so please let me know in the comments below what you think
about this whether NVIDIA is trying to pull strings behind the scenes to inflate the prices
and all that or if this is simply some kind of marketing and Manufacturing failure on
their part that has led to this anyways this is been Tech Illiterate my name is Nic thank
you for watching
