AI Summary
The GeForce RTX 3090 delivers powerhouse gaming performance with 24GB GDDR6X and a 3DMark score of 21950, making it a solid choice for 4K enthusiasts and creators who need ample VRAM. In titles like Doom Eternal and Forza Horizon 4 it consistently achieves 140–240 FPS at high settings, while DLSS boosts ray‑traced workloads to maintain smooth frame rates. However, its $1499 price and high power draw position it below the newer GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4090 offerings, reducing its value for most gamers in 2025.
Pros
- 24GB GDDR6X memory provides future‑proofing for 4K and large‑scale workloads
- Top‑tier raw performance (3DMark 21950, Passmark 26671) keeps it ahead of legacy cards like the GeForce RTX 3080 in many benchmarks
- High frame‑rate gaming at 1080p/1440p in demanding titles such as Doom Eternal (240 FPS) and Ghostrunner (275 FPS)
- DLSS and ray‑tracing support elevate performance in Watch Dogs Legion and The Medium
- Excellent VRAM capacity ideal for future titles and content‑creation workflows
Cons
- $1499 price makes it less cost‑effective compared to newer GeForce RTX 4080 and GeForce RTX 4090 with higher performance per dollar
- Power consumption and thermal output are high, requiring robust cooling and PSU
- 4K ray‑traced performance still falls below GeForce RTX 4080, e.g., Godfall Ultimate Edition 54 FPS at 2160p
- Older Turing architecture lacks some of the efficiency and features of Ampere and Ada Lovelace GPUs
