RTX 3090 - 8K Gaming on the Table?

Indeed, the talk of the town is the RTX 3080 - it's incredible value for the price, massive performance increase and general utility is simply superb. However, Nvidia wasn't done there as they announced two other products in the line. Currently, the community is discussing the RTX 3080's older brother, the RTX 3090. Supposedly, 8K Gaming is now a possibility though it does come at a considerable price. 

If you're anything like me, then you're YouTube feed was also flooded with content creators trying the graphics card out. The BFGPU has rocked the internet due to its phenomenal size, dwarfing formerly 'large' cards such as the 2080Ti from a generation ago. The pure size of the card is dropping jaws for multiple reasons, but also due to its drawbacks. 

Let's take a quick look at the specifications: 

• Built on an 8nm architecture
• 10496 cores
• 24GB of GDDR6X Memory 
• 1695 MHz Boost Clock Speed

It's those 24GB of GDDR6X that has made 8K Gaming possible. The only drawback however, is the sheer price of the graphics card. Once you've gone passed the $1,500 barrier or so, you'll also have to deck out your PC with the best components on the market too - a top-end CPU to make the most of the GPU and a thick power supply to run the beast. All of this will have to fit in a reasonably sized and very well ventilated case. 

Then, once paired with an 8K display, it's official that 8K gaming is now possible. Games such as Doom Eternal and others have been showcased and for the most part, no video or photo can really do the experience any justice. 

Let's just take a moment to appreciate Nvidia here. Weeks ago, AMD was breathing down their throat following their own incredible new lineup of products and the pressure was on. As the community wondered where Nvidia was, doubt in the community grew. And now, just like that, Nvidia has once again earned everyone's praise and reminded the world who's on top. Nobody's been talking much about AMD since. 

Then again, it's unfortunate that for those interested to buy one, you'll have to wait for it to become available.
