The very powerful and very expensive Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 is ready to go along sale today at ix a.m. ET (6 a.thou PT and ii p.k. BST). Despite costing $1,499, it's expected to sell very quickly, much like the GeForce RTX 3080. And then much and then that Nvidia has preemptively apologized for a "limited supply" of the RTX 3090.

In a weblog mail service, Nvidia stressed that the GeForce RTX 3090 is primarily aimed at creative professionals and researchers, equally well as hardcore gamers who want to play at 8K resolutions. And then it isn't a graphics card that will be made in loftier volumes.

• Plus: AMD Big Navi could beat RTX 3080 — hither'south the proof

"Since we built GeForce RTX 3090 for a unique grouping of users, like the Titan RTX before information technology, we want to apologize upfront that this will be in express supply on launch solar day," Nvidia said. "We know this is frustrating, and nosotros're working with our partners to increase the supply in the weeks to come."

Nvidia noted that the RTX 3090 is just 10 to 15 pct faster for 4K gaming than the RTX 3080, which means it is basically pointing gamers towards the $699 RTX 3080.

That's all well and skilful, but the RTX 3080 is very difficult to notice given it sold extremely quickly when it launched last week. Furthermore, the RTX 3080 is being sold on eBay for some ridiculous prices that put information technology close to the RTX 3090.

As such, despite Nvidia noting that the RTX 3090 isn't for your average garden diversity PC gamer, we suspect a lot of people might rush to the RTX 3090 after declining to go a RTX 3080.

Speaking of which, the prices for third-party takes on the RTX 3090 take leaked, and some are hugely expensive. Flagged past our colleagues at Tom's Hardware, a Reddit post detailed how the EVGA's RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming and the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3090 OC Edition graphics carte hit the steep price of $1,800.

In the U.K. it's the aforementioned situation, with the aforementioned Asus RTX 3090 going for a wallet-emptying £1,649.99. For that amount of money, you can get ane of our picks for the best gaming PCs.

Given these prices, we have a sneaking suspicion that the RTX 3090 volition be snapped up very rapidly and sold on at even college prices by scalpers  looking to make a quick cadet. Nvidia has said it'southward learnt lessons from the troubled launch of the RTX 3080, and then it has safeguards in identify to foreclose people trying to exploit the limited supply of its high-end GPUs.

Nosotros've only got a few hours earlier we see just how speedily the RTX 3090 will sell. No dubiety AMD will be watching from the sidelines, as information technology has its Large Navi and Radeon RX 6000 serial graphics cards set up to be revealed in total on Oct 28.
