For Amazon Prime Day, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 video card has reached an all-time low. This is one of the few GPUs in the RTX 30 series that has been able to download below the MSRP of the reference video card. Earlier this year, people were willing to pay more than $ 2,500 for an RTX 3090. In retrospect, we shook our heads at the idea of paying that kind of price, especially with the current downward spiral of cryptography, but that is next to the dot.

If you were to buy a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming OC 24GB graphics card exclusively for gaming, even at this discounted price, I would say you will be wasting your money. Instead, I would kindly direct you to Amazon Prime Day’s RTX 3080 GPU offer for $ 779.99. You would save more than $ 400 and only lose between 5% and 10% in terms of performance. The RTX 3090 is not intended for gamers; is aimed at professional graphic artists, animators, modelers, software engineers or data scientists running rendering farms, workstation-intensive applications such as Maya or 3ds Max, or machine learning. The RTX 3090 is the GPU of the workstation chosen not for its processing power (which it has slowly), but for the amount of VRAM. The RTX 3090 includes 24 GB of massive GDDRX RAM compared to the 10 GB “masks” of the RTX 3080. Unfortunately, however, the vast majority of games will not benefit from the increased VRAM, and so it’s not a smart buy for the end player.
TLDR: Pure gamers should look at the RTX 3080 Prime Day GPU offering instead
