The latest version of Zotac's FireStorm overclocking software appears to have an entry for a GPU that has not previously appeared in leaks or rumors, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti. The image file in question can be found along with the names of two GPUs that are expected to be released in early June: the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti.

Given the lack of talk about the RTX 3090 Ti, this is not a card we expect to see anytime soon. But that doesn't stop us from wondering what such a GPU could offer gamers.

It could possibly be a fully unlocked GA102 chip," meaning it has 84 SMX clusters, the equivalent of 10,752 CUDA cores, and 336 Tensor and Texture cores. For reference, the current GeForce RTX 3090 has 82 SMX clusters and 10,496 CUDA cores.

Even with fully unlocked cores, such a GPU would probably not offer much of a substantial improvement over the existing RTX 3090. And this GPU, even at the high end, is a GPU that makes absolutely no sense for gaming as it is. So logically, the RTX 3090 Ti makes no sense at all, but in these days of GPU shortages, sense is seldom appreciated.

You can find references yourself by downloading Zotac's FireStorm and looking in the Resources folder of the overclocking software: Led_E_3090Ti, Led_E_Fan90Ti, and Led_E_Fan90TI_H, each of which is an image label for an unpublished card; there are no details on what the GPU is.

This could be a new version of an existing card, as Nvidia just announced that they are releasing a Light Hash Rate (LHR) version of the GPU.
