RTX 3090
Measured performance for RTX 3090 across 3 verified WhatFPS runs. Every number is measured in our benchmark suite — not estimated, not self-reported. GPU score (the card's own performance): 10,341 on average over the best run per rig, best run 10,341 — #15 of 67 measured graphics cards. The best rig we measured it in scored 10,212 GAMING (that number reflects the whole PC, not just RTX 3090). Most often paired with AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor.

What the numbers mean
The GAMING score is a geometric mean of GPU (63 %), CPU (30 %), RAM (5 %) and drive (2 %) — a weak part cannot hide behind a strong one. The GPU score is the hardware's own performance and what we rank on. Every run is HMAC-signed in the app and scored on the server. The full methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
