Did not know 4K gaming is a big upgrade ,high temp

Decided to build something that will last me work ps6/ next console gen and I am happy I got this card. It is absolutely a beast and handles everything 4K at ultra settings. The card runs very hot though and runs from 70 to 85cc even with 9 high end fans. I paired this with i9 12900ks and everything runs like charm. With my research I found this is normal for this gtmraphics card even though there may be custom lower temperature cards around.I was initially scared that the gpu and cpu were generating to much heat but it seems it is the drawback of these new high watt peripherals which take a lot of voltage. These come with 3 year warranty so i feel safer and after extensive research found out that these temperatures of 65-85 based on games are normal depending on ... MoreDecided to build something that will last me work ps6/ next console gen and I am happy I got this card.

Dota 2 , league of legends and games with no added 4K textures look so crisp it actually blows you away. Games like rainbow six siege looks crisp and clean and so amazing.I noticed another thing that there is no significant advantage of using Dlss if you do not want higher fps because the graphics card use same temperature whether you use dlss or regular 4K. I do not understand the dlss technology enough to understand if it is better in terms of latency but I tried dlss in few games and realized it made no significant difference on 144hz monitor.Also noticed something that temperature of gpu on 4K and 8k is not much different which leads me to be believe the gpu seems to be most efficient around 75-85 temperature when it is using its full 450watts.I definitely did not understand how awesome 4K gaming is and it feels like I can not go back to 1080p anymore no matter how high the refresh rate is. and nearly upgraded to 1440p monitor which would have been a huge waste because this card throws everything in 4k ultra at ease. This graphics card may require large case and sufficient airflow. Please check with its dimensions and your cpu case.

Dissapointment in regards to connectivity. My Samsung Q80T is 3840x2180(4k) - 120hz - HDR complaiant and yet I can't get the resolution to display at 120hz unless I drop the HDR and Lower to 60hz or I use 120hz but in Chroma 4:2:0 subsampling. The Control Panel is a complete nightmare from the 1980's that never detects the display at the other end so your left for days playing around with settings that are irrelevant and outdated to try and reach your monitor or tv's native resolution. 5th card in 6 months and all were 30 series. All suffer the same problem. Bloated pricing, crap software, and zero support. My son could soil his diapers right now and even those would have more worth than Nvidia. Same for samsung and their crap tv's. I am just over having to pay ... MoreDissapointment in regards to connectivity.

Flexible GPU
11 November 2022

Now you if only have one 6-8 pin adapter pigtail you will need another!! This guy requires 3 connections. Also Id get anything over 1k watts for the powersupply. I went From a 2080 to a 3090 ti. I also have Z690-A motherboard, i7 12k chip, DDR4 3500mhz, All Air Cooled. I avg about 80c while Overclocked @2000MHz GPU Boost Clock and 23002MHz on memory. Now thats all ULTRA settings on 1440p @165 refresh rate. (Do at your own risk) If you like to play story games in ULTRA Quality and high FPS games maybe @1080 or even @720. This could be your answer. I enjoy flexible GPUs and this is it! Make no mistake, it runs great on ultra settings for high FPS games like Fortnite. If you know you know! Take care, brush your hair!

Great performance with very little noise
11 June 2022

I was debating whether to replace my Titan RTX with one of the newer 3000 series cards. I read mixed reviews with some favoring one or the other but no clear winner. I use my PC primarily for Photo Video and sound editing and I do dabble in AI work as well. When I visited the Best Buy site and saw that this was in stock at my local store I figured I'd give it a try. The first thing I noticed was the weight and overall sturdy build of the card. This thing is built like a tank. I was a bit disappointed to see that it occupied 3 slots which meant I had to remove my Firewire card to make room. I have an older PC that I can use for firewire video capture as needed so not a huge deal. Another thing that caught me off guard is the power connector as it is a new PCIe 5.0 ... MoreI was debating whether to replace my Titan RTX with one of the newer 3000 series cards.

This thing is built like a tank. I was a bit disappointed to see that it occupied 3 slots which meant I had to remove my Firewire card to make room. I have an older PC that I can use for firewire video capture as needed so not a huge deal. Another thing that caught me off guard is the power connector as it is a new PCIe 5.0 single connector capable of carrying much higher wattage than traditional PCIe cables. My power supply does not have a PCIe 5.0 connector but Nvidia does include an adapter that breaks the 5.0 connector out into 3 standard PCIe connectors. Unfortunately, the breakout cable is very short so I ended up with a clump of cables in the case right next to the card. If the cable were a bit longer I could have routed it to the underside part of the case where it would be hidden and not obstruct case airflow. A breakout cable that just connected directly to 3 ports on the power supply would be even better although I know that those connectors are not always standard across power supply vendors so that may not be practical. As 5.0 power supplies become more readily available I will probably upgrade.So once installed I powered it up and the first thing I noticed was how quiet the card is compared to the Titan. The latter has an annoying whining sound that gets very loud at bootup and under heavy work load. The 3090ti is nice and quiet. A quick driver update (which may not have even been necessary as the card seemed to work without issue using the Titan driver) and I was off to the races. I did some benchmark testing in the Adobe CC suite of apps and using DeepFaceLab for some AI tests both with the Titan prior to swapping and after with the 3090ti. In almost all cases the 3090ti did better than the Titan and under AI workloads the Titan didn't even come close. So if you are on the fence like I was I can say that through real world usage the 3090ti outperforms the Titan. The only downside is that if you are looking to use dual cards to increase memory for AI type work this is much easier done with the Titan than the monstrous 3090ti. Not only would 2 of these bad boys occupy a whopping 6 slots but you would also need 6 PCIe power connectors and some serious case cooling.If you have the case space and power availability you will not be disappointed with this card. It also comes with a hefty price tag although it was less than what I paid for my Titan by about $500. Plus I see people paying way more for this for the non ti version of the 3090.

Peak Performance and Cost
29 April 2022

Let's just get this out of the way upfront. This card is very expensive, in fact that is why I put this at only 4 Stars. It's a product that feels like it should be $1700-$1800, not 2k. I've owned and tested the Founders Edition versions of the RTX 3080, 3080 ti, 3090, and now 3090 ti. This card performs about 5% better than the 3090 in most situations. The biggest delta that I found is Metro Exodus EE where it performs about 12% better than the 3090.Now the real pros of this card are it's thermals, higher power budget, and Improved VRAM. My card never gets above 70C core in game and even when mining ETH it maintains a VRAM hotspot of only 82C. Nvidia certainly solved all thermal issues with the new 2GB memory modules. The fans on this card never have to go beyond ... MoreLet's just get this out of the way upfront. This card is very expensive, in fact that is why I put this at only 4 Stars.

The fans on this card never have to go beyond 50% speed, unlike the 3080 ti which had to have it's fans at 60-70% to keep it cool. My 3090 ti allowed me to push my Port Royale score above 14500 when OCed.Aesthetically I think this card is beautiful, but that goes for any of the 3000 series. It is very heavy at over 5lb, but thanks to a very solid construction it does not sag at all.Overall this is the tip top of the Ampere lineup and the absolute worst value for your money in terms of performance per dollar. But let's not kid ourselves, if you're seriously looking at this card money doesn't matter. It's the best, and you won't be disappointed.

RTX 3090 Ti: A Bit Late To the Party, Perhaps?
17 May 2022

I'm going to keep my introduction simple. The RTX 3090 Ti is the bleeding edge of GPU technology, but at this point, it begs the question: Why now, when the 4000 Series is right around the bend?I'll get back to that after reviewing my experience. First. let's talk about the card in usage. Installing this thing isn't without it's issues. It's massive, it's heavy, but for good reason. It's got a 450w TDP, and in my use case at 4k 160hz (LG 27GP950-B), I was getting spikes of 430w with it regularly staying between 365w-385w. That's at stock out of the box, and that only got the card to boost to 1940mhz (74c @ 50% fan speed). I was worried my SF750 would explode under such loads, so I took to undervolting and this card surprisingly delivered. I was now hitting 2025mhz ... MoreI'm going to keep my introduction simple.

That's at stock out of the box, and that only got the card to boost to 1940mhz (74c @ 50% fan speed). I was worried my SF750 would explode under such loads, so I took to undervolting and this card surprisingly delivered. I was now hitting 2025mhz @ 925mv plus a +500mhz bump to memory clocks, resulting in a maximum power draw of ~350w and temps down to 70c with the same 50% fan speed. All around, the gaming and overclocking/undervolting experience is superb.However, at the current MSRP... This card isn't worth the premium over other cards in the same RTX 3000 line up. A 3080 Ti is considered one of the better price-performance cards available, and if we're comparing FE to FE, with the additional cost to jump to a 3090 Ti, one could instead buy a 3080/3090 waterblock and do a bit of overclocking and the gap is closed even further.If you haven't noticed by now, I simply cannot justify the $800 price jump for a ~20% performance bump at 4k (again, you can overclock the 3080 Ti and shorten the gap). I haven't ruled out AMD either, and the 6900 XT is only 18% slower. With the introduction of the refreshed 6950 XT, and it's current 1099 USD MSRP, AMD isn't ruled out just yet. But if you prefer what RTX technologies have to offer, the 3080 Ti is far from slow, and while the same can be said about overclocking the 3090 Ti, you start to run into the realm of needing 1000w-1200w PSUs, especially if you're pairing this with an overclocked 12900K or 5950x. Heat is also another issue, with EKWB having announced a waterblock for this FE card already, but is only available for pre-order with a ship date sometime in early-June.So now we circle back to my original question: Why now? A 3090 Ti would've been a very welcomed release in Fall 2021, with it having enough time after the 3090 release, and a good buffer before the 4000 Series release. Both AMD and NVIDIA (I'm not gonna throw Intel into the ring just yet, since their ARC lineup has been nothing but delays) are expecting to drop their new lineup in the next 2-3 months. Knowing this, I genuinely feel this card is in an awkward spot. If it wasn't for the fact that I have become an enthusiast more than a gamer, I wouldn't have bothered. But I've owned high end cards from both camps since the R9 Fury and Titan X days. If you're a gamer, then it's in your best interest to wait just a bit longer for a 4000/RX7000 card, or get a mid-range card from what's currently available, especially now that prices are dropping. Products like this, the 6950 XT (not as much since it's a bit over half the price of this card), and even the high end CPUs from both AMD and Intel are too expensive to justify for gaming purposes. I'd strictly recommend this card only for those that don't care about price (in that, we already expected to drop 5k on a gaming/workstation PC), or can leverage the card in rendering/content creation workloads.Also, the 3x8pin adapter is annoying. We already had 3x8pin layouts on 3090 cards. The change to 12pin was too soon, and should've been left to launch on the 4000 Series. Or better yet, kept to the FE cards with AIBs still producing PCBs around the 6pin/8pin standard. I understand why they're doing it, but we have maybe 1-3 PSU options that come with the new PCIe 5.0 standard out on the market. I could be wrong, there may be more, but since I primarily keep my builds in the SFF space, I hardly ever look at ATX sized power supplies. Thankfully 750w and 850w SFX power supplies come with 3x8pin connections.

The best you can buy right now

I got lucky and walked into Best Buy when they had gotten a new batch of RTX cards and got this card for *MSRP*. A couple of years from now, someone will read this review and think I'm a sucker for paying full retail on a GPU, but to get the latest GPU about a month after it was released for $1000 less than scalpers are charging pretty much made my day yesterday.I ran the card through its paces last night with Elden Ring at 4k, HDR, and maximum graphics settings. My previous card is a RTX 2080, and while it ran ER at max settings extremely well, my 500 square foot office heated up about 5 degrees after an hour of playing. This RTX 3090 Ti did have its fans running where I could hear them, but it wasn't all that loud - maybe 35-ish db - and definitely not so loud ... MoreI got lucky and walked into Best Buy when they had gotten a new batch of RTX cards and got this card for *MSRP*.

This RTX 3090 Ti did have its fans running where I could hear them, but it wasn't all that loud - maybe 35-ish db - and definitely not so loud that I couldn't hear footsteps of enemies running behind my character. My office didn't heat up as much either. When you're not playing games, the fans are just about silent.One thing to be aware of is that this card is *heavy*. It is also quite thick and long too. You aren't going to put it in a dinky little case. It just won't fit. Looks at the specs and measure the clearance in your case before you buy it. It uses 3 screws to hold it in, and you should make those pretty tight so the weight of the card doesn't pull on the motherboard.Speaking of motherboard, you need PCIe 4.0 16 to take advantage of the card's full throughput. If your motherboard only has PCIe 3.0, plan to upgrade it too.Finally, the card comes with a PCIe 5.0 power adapter which takes *3* 8 pin plugs and merges them to a 12 pin power socket on the card. You will want a minimum 750 watt power supply and probably should go with 1000 watt. Get the highest efficiency you can afford too so your P/S doesn't add as much heat to the case.

Uses less power than 3080 ti's and runs quieter
31 October 2022

Runs quieter than any non FE card I have ever owned. I have always wanted an FE card and I finally got one! I was expecting it to be nosier and hotter. Nope. Quieter and more efficient than 2 3080ti's. An EVGA FTW3 and ASUS STRIX are what I tested before this card. Really surprised. It also uses less power on average than either of those 3080 ti's. It will jump to around 420 occasionally, but usually is anywhere from 320-380. Both the 3080 ti's average was 400 watts. Average temps with no fan curve is 72. Average temps on both the 3080 ti's with a custom aggressive fan curve was 72.The only thing negative is the LED's. You'd think being NVIDIA directly they'd just implement something into NVCP, but noooooo.... still nothing. You have to disconnect the cables ... MoreRuns quieter than any non FE card I have ever owned. I have always wanted an FE card and I finally got one! I was expecting it to be nosier and hotter. Nope.

You have to disconnect the cables because no software works correctly with the LED's on this card. EVGA precision will work, but you can't dim and it only works when it's open. ASUS whatever it's called bloatware is awful. Don't even try it. Same with Corsair. Those are your options. None of them work properly and none of them retain settings. -1 star for that mess.

Well it was only 1000
22 October 2022

So this is the usual stuff: My system has an i9 9900k, 32gb ram, a strix z390, a strix 2080ti and a 1000w psu. I was personally going for the 4090, but I am not going to pay scalpers premium and also refuse to hopelessly click a button (too old for this). Now, my monitor is a 50inch 5120x1440 monster and while it does 240hz refresh, nothing has got that in such resolution and with everything maxed out. This the reason I decided to go for the 3090ti which is a very attractive choice tbh. As of now, I have tested all of my games with dlss balanced and they are all either very close, or keeping steady 120hz with this card. Now it is gorgeous, but massive, heavier than I expected and incredibly satisfying to install. It comes with instructions and the 3 connection ... MoreSo this is the usual stuff: My system has an i9 9900k, 32gb ram, a strix z390, a strix 2080ti and a 1000w psu.

It comes with instructions and the 3 connection adapter which I did not like so you'll probably be better if you buy a new PSU with 12vHPWR at least cable management wise. Other than that, it seems I made a good choice of saving time and money as the 3090ti is able to deliver.
