It's a 3090. It will destroy absolutely anything you throw at it. Card can run a bit hot depending on the application, and the backplate is scalding. Absolute monster of a card though. Despite not having RGB, I still really dig the look of this card. If you manage to get your hands on one, you won't be disappointed.

It’s kinda scary how fast this card is. You get what you pay for here, it’s very obvious. Never had any issues with it, absolutely love it.

3 fans, 350 watts, ddr6x ram. Get this card on water. If not MSI made a great cooling system compared to the gigabyte, zotac, and FE card. I have yet to see thermal throttle. So A+ in my book.

The performance and cooling on this card is one of the best for a 3090 that I have used. It is a no-frills card, but if you want a clean understated look in your build this is a great option. Unfortunately, one of the fans already appears to be failing. It makes a clicking/rattling noise while on, and it will no longer spin to 100%.

Excellent GPU and can play every single thing I throw at it. However, please do not buy it if you do not need the horsepower or if you do not have a high refresh rate high pixel density monitor to take advantage of the power.

Fast card with a ton of memory. Memory runs a little warm. Would be nice if they spent more time cooling the memory.

The top of the line video card. It is huge! Make sure you case have enough space for it. When it comes to performance, can't ask for the better card.

This card is an absolute beast! It can handle any game you throw at it with ease. I’ve also been mining Ethereum for 6 months with it and I’ve made over $1,500 in that time so it can be a money maker as well!

This thing is good, but not great. Thermals could use some work. The GPU clocks around 70c when running at full load, but the VRAM can easily clock above 100c, and the back plate is always scalding hot to the touch. I don't really want to spend another $100 on cooling upgrades on something I already spent >$2k on, but I'm afraid for the longevity of the card if I don't.

I love my 3090! In these days where it is soooo difficult to get a GPU, I was very lucky to land this one during a drop. It is the fastest GPU you can get and it runs nice and cool.

Hands shaking as I opened the package, it was like a barbell from the future. It works HARD and runs HOT. There isn't anything this card cannot handle and it will probably stay that way for a decade. Woof!

Very pricey. I'd do research to figure out if this is the card you want. It's great but I think there are better-looking cards and the price might not be worth it for most.

This has devoured every game I have run across.
It generally has no flaws to her then price but during a global shortage of gpu's it was going to be expensive eitherway.
I can't think of many flaws other than it doubles as a space heater so make sure you got enough fans to pump the heat out.
OH and 1 more thing, the "support bar" meant to prevent the card from warping the slot is absolute garbage, a flimsy piece of metal you have to bend to touch the card and a mounting section that didn't really fit.
You should buy your own third-party card bolster or support bar because this won't cut it.

Its more than I needed, but its better than paying a scalper more for a 3080.
VR with my Valve Index is a major improvement over my old 2060
