NVIDIA's flagship has been replaced today. The RTX 3090 Ti was unspectacularly released with a post from NVIDIA on Instagram. Months before, however, leaks already surfaced. Which ones are true now?

The leaks that the RTX 3090 Ti is supposed to come out on March 29, 2022, were correct. The power consumption is correct at 450 watts. The required system power is 850 watts (but more is recommended in our opinion).
Differences to the RTX 3090
For one, the RTX 3090 TI needs a hundred watts more power than the standard version. Also, the boost clock and base clock are each 0.26 gigahertz higher. This means that the Ti version has 1.86 and 1.67 gigahertz, respectively. As mentioned above, the 3090 Ti requires a hundred watts more power. The same affects the required system performance. Strangely, the RTX 3090 Ti reaches a temperature of 92°C, one degree less than the normal RTX 3090. Otherwise, nothing has changed compared to the RTX 3090. The width and length are the same. However, the RTX 3090 Ti needs three times eight-pin power cables or fifth-generation PCIe cables that can deliver 450 watts and more.
The price is also different. The RTX 3090 Ti costs 2249 Euros and is already no longer available on NVIDIA's website.
