Nvidia has reportedly pushed back the launch of the RTX 3090 Ti, its beefy top-end graphics card.
A number of websites have begun to report the delay, with each citing their own sources. TweakTown's sources suggest that the RTX 3090 Ti's release has been pushed back, and Videocardz has confirmed this with its own sources, who claim BIOS and hardware issues are responsible for the delay. PC Gamer has also heard from a GPU manufacturer that the release may have been "temporarily stalled".
TweakTown's report says that manufacturing of the 3090 Ti has been put on hold, and that third-party board partners have also been asked to pause production.
The Nvidia 3090 Ti was announced at CES 2022 earlier this month. At the time, no release date or window was offered, but rumours have pointed towards a January 27 release date. But with no official word from Nvidia, it seems likely that should the delay be real, that we won't be seeing the card until February at the very earliest.
While Nvidia has not promised a release date, it did vow to reveal more about the card later this month. Hopefully before January is out we'll know both a release date, as well as more details about the card's capabilities.
For now, we know that the Ampere-based RTX 3090 Ti will include 40 teraflops of GPU performance, powered by 24GB of GDDR6X VRAM.
Alongside the RTX 3090 Ti, Nvidia announced a new entry-level GPU, the RTX 3050, which arrives on January 27 with a starting retail price of $269.
