In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
The RTX 3090 and the RTX 3060 Ti have the same core clock speed of 1410 MHz, but the RTX 3090 has 168 more Texture Mapping Units than the RTX 3060 Ti. As a result, the RTX 3090 exhibits a 236.9 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the RTX 3060 Ti. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The RTX 3090 and the RTX 3060 Ti have the same core clock speed of 1410 MHz, but the RTX 3090 has 16 more Render Output Units than the RTX 3060 Ti. As a result, the RTX 3090 exhibits a 22.6 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the RTX 3060 Ti. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The RTX 3060 Ti was released less than a year after the RTX 3090, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The RTX 3090 has 16384 MB more video memory than the RTX 3060 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, the overall memory performance is about the same.
The RTX 3060 Ti has 448 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the RTX 3090, which means that the memory performance of the RTX 3060 Ti is massively better than the RTX 3090.
The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB has 10496 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has 4864. However, the actual shader performance of the RTX 3090 is 18263 and the actual shader performance of the RTX 3060 Ti is 8099. The RTX 3090 having 10164 better shader performance is not particularly notable, as altogether the RTX 3060 Ti performs better when taking into account other relevant data.
The GeForce RTX 3090 KFA2 EX Gamer White 24GB requires 350 Watts to run and the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti requires 200 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 750 Watts for the RTX 3090 and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the RTX 3060 Ti. The RTX 3090 requires 150 Watts more than the RTX 3060 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the RTX 3090 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the RTX 3060 Ti.
