Reference samples will have a different fee
We have already seen a huge number of photos of reference and non-reference GeForce RTX 3080, including pictures of printed circuit boards. GeForce RTX 3090 is released on September 24, so so far there are only photos and images of the cards themselves on the web without details.
This is how a “naked” non-reference GeForce RTX 3090 looks like. Gigabyte did not create a separate printed circuit board for it.
Today we have the opportunity to first look at a non-reference RTX 3090 PCB made by Gigabyte.
In this case, we compare the cards from the Eagle line, and we see that their printed circuit boards are identical, and the differences are only in additional memory chips and other components in the older model.
Among other things, you can see how the memory chips are located on the back of the board. Recall that the RTX 3090 has 24 GB of memory, so it is impossible to fit it all on one side.
