Graphics card manufacturer Nvidia put its powerful RTX 3090 on sale this morning. Within minutes of it going on sale at 6 a.m. Eastern, it had sold out on Nvidia's official site, online electronics retailer Newegg, and B&H. 

The RTX 3090 is a ludicrous GPU and the most powerful video card Nvidia is currently offering average consumers. It’s physically massive, costs $1,500, and according to numerous reviews that were published ahead of the launch this morning, only delivers a 10 to 15 percent performance boost over the $699 RTX 3080. According to Nvidia, this card could play video games at 8K resolution and 60FPS. That’s if the game could even handle that resolution and you could find a monitor or screen capable.
