This graphics card is literally the best at this time. Performance in 4k is amazing compared to my 3080ti. Temps are alot better than the 3080ti also. In starfield with everything maxed out dlss quality frame gen on, i get about 105fps average. The lowest i saw was 92. The max temps were only 60 degrees. Which is crazy. There is also zero noticeable coil whine while playing games. All 4090 perform the same when it comes to gaming. The tuf is the best looking card by far. Build quality is very good. If you're buying this card make sure you have enough space in your Case. I only gave 4 stars because of the price otherwise it'd be 5 stars. I'd definitely recommend this card if you're in the market for a high quality card.

Good Looking and Well Built

Fantastic. This is easily the best looking, best built 4090 version out there. The enclosure is all solid aluminum and the thing must weigh 3-4 lbs. You will definitely want to install the support leg. It’s nice and understated with a single LED logo you can control through the Armory Crate app. It runs cool and quiet and will calmly power through any game. The fans turn off completely when the card isn’t working heavily. I use this with a 120Hz 4K monitor and have no troubles getting that frame rate at Ultra settings. An angled 12-pin connector is highly recommend as the sheer size of this card might necessitate bending a normal plug and that can lead to burning it out. I’m not so sure about the value of the OC edition vs the base card. Right now overclocking a 4090 seems like overkill. But it sure works great.
So for those scores I’d give it 4/5 on value because the base card probably performs just as well for $200 less (Best Buy didn’t carry that model however) Quality 5/5 I’m not sure how you could built a sturdier card. Ease of Use 4/5 this is not the easiest card to install, be sure to check the size and power connections. It’s a beast in every sense there. Highly recommend if it’s in your budget.

I purchased this because i know that this will take my computer to the Next Gen capabilities. However, the sheer price is daunting, but worth it. I ended up having to part with it because of the price. Maybe the will price will come down and maybe i will be able to afford this as it is qorth every dollar that it currently cost with its stats. If you can afford to purchase this you will not regret it and should make the leap of faith while supplies are in stock as this will take you several years down the road without a need to upgrade. Future proof your setup ASAP!!

Only con would be size. Ill be getting a bigger case soon lol

Fits Corsair 4000x case

Fits Corsair 4000x case with 2 cm to spare. I read and saw many complaints about coil whine. However for me its whisper quiet in my case. Bought a Corsair Rm1200x Shift power supply to feed it as well. I've seen and heard that bad power supplies can lead to coil whine so I made sure I had enough juice. Ran Nvidia automatic tuning and I see get 2910MHz and 400ish watts of power running triple screens at 4k 144hz HDR VRR 8 Bit Full range RGB.
Sim Racing:
Previously had a 3080. My little 3080 was able to run triple screens 4k 60hz HDR + VRR + GSYNC on Assetto Corsa, ACC, Automobilista 2, and Iracing without DLSS. All of them playable without screen tearing. F1 22 brought my 3080 to its knees. Had to use DLSS with it.
Upgraded to Asus 4090 and triple Hisense 55" U7K's. I'm running them at 4k 144hz HDR VRR 8 Bit Full range RGB. Assetto Corsa, ACC, Automobilista 2, F1 22 and 23, and Iracing all high or epic settings without DLSS.
Biggest improvements were Assetto Corsa. I was able to run Pure and increased other settings. Sometimes I get quick glimpses of feeling like I'm really on the road chasing a car down. ACC is much better too. I don't have to use the generic trees or shadows anymore. Trees look much better and cars don't look like they're floating anymore. Mirrors look better. Automobilista 2 is where the 4090 shines. AMS2 just looks absolutely like eye candy. Especially if you change the time settings to progress faster and you see the skies go from day to night. Yeah buddy! F1 22 and 23 much more playable without screen tearing and now I can use ray tracing. Ray tracing was a big plus for me. F1 reflections are eye candy too. Iracing just has a more detailed environment.
Other games. Amazing Spider-Man with all epics settings is what an 80s gamer kid dreams of. Microsoft Flight Simulator in VR is much more smoother. F1 22 in VR Epic settings is smooth as butter. Have yet to try ACC in VR. That will really tell me alot. Geez that game is so bad in VR.
I was kind of scared of spending $2k but after all the improvements I've made in triple screen racing it makes me think "I couldve been doing this sooner when it was cheaper too". My advice, if you can, DO IT! You're missing out!

Not much to say here other than this an absolute beast of a video card. Both physically and technologically. It’s huge and heavy, built like a tank. It performs beautifully and achieves very nice overlock speeds. If you’ve got the scratch, you won’t disappointed in the performance of this card.

Super awesome card, I just wish parts of my system were newer than they are so that I could fully take advantage of what it’s really capable of. Thermals are AMAZING! This card never got above 50-55*C, at least not in my setup. I upgraded from the 3090 ti to this and while the performance increase is noticeable, it sadly wasn’t enough for me to justify dumping the money on it and just had to return it. If I was building for 4K gaming, I would have kept it, but the cost to upgrade everything to play at 4k just isn’t necessary at the time. Maybe when the 50 series comes out. If you’re coming from a 20 series card or a lower budget 30 series, you’re definitely going to be happy with this card.

This is still the best GPU I have ever bought. I don't plan on upgrading it for several years. Driving 5120x1440 all day long with zero issues.
If you have the dosh 100% pick one of these up!

Got this video card mainly for work, as I work in 3d art and need to do a lot of rendering. It's expensive, but works really well. Cut my rendering time to 1/3 of what it used to take. Sometimes there is a slight whine when pushing the card due to a render, but well worth to listen to while it spits out the render in a fraction of the time.

Best looking 4090 out there with minimal RGB. Ive heard coil whine is bad on these, but thats not the case with mine. It’s certainly noticeable, but not as loud as the ones I see on youtube reviews. Best buy support was also great during the shipping and receiving process of this order.

Certainly stands up to its name and pricepoint. Pretty much handles everything I throw at it with gusto though. Pushes my LG C1 just like I wanted it to. Paired with a 5800x3d. **make sure to have three PCIE cables available, had to order an extra myself**

Thank you. Perfect! I bought one of these cards and it handles games so effortlessly, It doesn't even seem to be using much power at all. Lots of games maxed out with this card at 4k seems like its not even bothered :)
