Asus GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

Asus takes the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and gooses it to even higher performance levels with a factory overclock. It's now the fastest graphics card we've tested, but we're nearing the launch window for next-gen GPUs. That, plus the high price and power draw make this card a highly questionable choice.
