ASUS TUF GeForce RTX® 4090 OC Edition Gaming pci_e_x16 Graphics Card (PCIe 4.0, 24GB GDDR6X, HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a) TUF-RTX4090-O24G-GAMING

The shipping was very Fast and the card working great

The upgrade has been made from 3070 to 4090, the difference is great, and it works with high efficiency

If you're here, you probably already know precisely what the 4090 is and does. Key takeaways for this TUF variant are that it performs as advertised, is very large and runs relatively cool. Replaced a 10GB 3080, hesitantly, to take full advantage of the 5k+ resolution of a new VR headset. The 3080 just didn't have the stomach for those resolutions. This card pushes 3300x3300 (per eye!) without breaking a sweat in the racing sims and roomscale experiences I've thrown at it. It's almost comical just how much memory and how powerful this GPU has and is. Things to be aware of: - Power requirement. You need 600W dedicated purely to this card if you want to make full use of its potential. That includes 4 SEPARATE dedicated 8-pin PCIe connectors running from your ATX 2.0 PSU's VGA/PCIe/CPU outputs to the 12VHPWR connector that comes with the card. Alternatively, newer ATX 3.0 PSUs come with the 12VHPWR standard, I believe. I went ahead and upgraded to a 1000w gold PSU. 850w minimum spec made me nervous with OC'd CPU and all other cards/USB devices considered. - It's huge. It's "check your available internal case dimensions" levels of huge. Specifically length and height (amount of PCIe slots) are the likely largest concerns, but if you have a slim case, you need to check that too. - It's heavy. Thankfully it comes with a support that works very well. Once in place, there is no concern about the load being put on the PCIe slot. - It can get noisy when hot enough for the fans to start ramping up. There is definitely a little coil whine, but I run my case fans relatively high to begin with and am not noticing it any more than I did with my TUF 3080. Those who like dead-silent systems may want to look elsewhere, but I really think the issue is overblown unless my experience is the exception. - It runs surprisingly cool, even with low fan speed. My case is not spacious, but I have not seen a rise in CPU, motherboard or RAM temps compared to having the 3080 in there. - It can easily outpace single-core performance on a majority of CPUs out there. Beware that any CPU bottlenecks will become immediately evident. I've noticed walls that didn't exist before since the GPU can now handle all display demands at 60% power when unoptimized/single-core heavy sims hit the wall with my aging 10700k at 5ghz. I feel a bit ridiculous being a proponent of an $1,800 GPU, but times have changed. 5k+ resolution HMDs now exist. Triple screen 4k performance is a real thing for others. I would not consider buying this GPU if it weren't for a very specific need of mine, but it's good to know that GPU performance will never be a concern in the foreseeable future and I can focus on eventually updating to a new socket, CPU and DDR5 when it becomes necessary.

A solid high performance Nvidia RTX4090. Runs my 3 4k monitors for my Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12 with no problems. Great frame rate in the 50s. I also use it for my 4k video editing with Adobe CC Premiere Pro and After Effects. No delays or timeline scrubbing issues.

Never really goes above 59°C, overclocks really well, and the pins are all distributing even load. I'm overall very satisfied and would recommend to anyone looking for the best of the best. Cheers
