I've been using the GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Aero OC 24GB for a several months now, and it’s honestly blown me away. If you’re looking for the best of the best in terms of performance, this is it. I upgraded from a 3080, and the jump in power is incredible. I’m running all my games at 4K ultra settings, and everything is buttery smooth, even with ray tracing enabled. Pros: Performance: This thing handles everything I throw at it—AAA games, 3D rendering, video editing—you name it, it crushes it. I’m getting insane FPS even in the most demanding titles. Cooling: I was worried about overheating, especially with such a powerful card, but the cooling system is top-notch. Even after hours of gaming, the temperatures stay well within safe limits, and it’s surprisingly quiet. Design: The white aesthetic is a great touch. It fits perfectly with my white-themed build and adds a sleek, modern look. DLSS and Ray Tracing: The ray tracing performance is stunning, and with DLSS 3.0, I’m getting much higher frame rates without losing quality. Cons: Size: This card is massive. Make sure you have enough space in your case because it takes up a lot of room. I had to do some rearranging in my mid-tower to get it to fit. Power Hungry: It requires a beefy power supply. I’m running a 1000W PSU, and I feel like that’s the sweet spot, but don’t expect to run this on anything lower than 850W. Overall, this card is an absolute monster. If you have the budget and space for it, the performance is worth every penny. Perfect for gaming, productivity, or any high-performance tasks. Highly recommend!

After researching for about a month, and going back and forth about whether or not I should drop this much money on a graphics card, I've finally decided to pull the trigger. My problem is that I don't game nearly as much as I used to, so in order to justify buying the most powerful graphics card, I would have to start doing some pretty heavy gaming, which is exactly what I did. First of all, it is a gorgeous looking card. I matches my white build flawlessly. Had to install it vertically, since the glass panel in my mid-tower case would not close with the card in a horizontal position. This is my second RTX 4090 Aero. The first one was purchased elsewhere and had a pretty bad coil whine. This one has coil whine as well, but you can limit the power to around 65-70% in MSI Afterburner to make it less noisy, while still be able to enjoy its performance. It obliterates anything on ultra settings, no matter what game I throw at it. Temps peak 75C, and only because the fans are less than an inch from the glass panel. You can water cool it or simply install it horizontally in a full-tower case and you'll see the temps drop by about 10 degrees. With today's prices, if you are going to spend over $1K (and you will if you want to run any game without limitations), do not buy an RTX 4080, it is simply not worth it and you will regret it 100% at the end. Save up and get a 4090, and you'll be set for the next 7-10 years for sure.

What can I say. Super expensive card but in my case it was worth it. Even when I set my power limit to 70 for efficiency it absolutely shreds all my games at 4k high settings and surpasses my monitors max refresh rate (160+ fps). I personally waited for this instead of the gaming oc because I wanted a more simple and clean look with minimalistic rgb and this was just the card for me. Did experience a little coil whine on newer titles but the fans are louder than the winning sound. When it comes to pros it's the best card on the market and it looks beautiful. My only negative experience was the slight coil whine mentioned earlier and the 16 pin 12v hpwr cable. I'll be waiting for my cable mod 90° adapter in order to put on my side panel again but well worth the small sacrifice. Overall this was a Best Buy and I am all set for decades.
