SeekerNvidia GeForce RTX 3090
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 is the most powerful graphics card you can buy today, delivering playable 8K gaming performance, along with jaw-dropping 3D rendering and encoding performance. However, you have to pay a high price for this level of power. For the vast majority of people, it's probably not worth the investment, but for creative professionals (who are the ones Nvidia is primarily targeting with this card), the RTX 3090 is a downright bargain.

The extravagant GeForce RTX 3090 is a poor value for pure gamers, but a stunning value for creators who can use its massive 24GB of memory. Nvidia’s Founders Edition cooler is exceptional.
