So I've been building computers for a lot of years and used a lot of different manufacturers and found things they liked and didn't like. One thing for me is it has to have a good bios. So my build began with the gigabyte Aorus Master. The computer's primarily built to run my flight simulator setup. I had previously an RTX 4090 0 video card thinking that would be the last one but I was wrong. Still found that on some Sims using VR I still couldn't get is crisp of a view as I thought. So went with the gigabyte Aorus RTX 5090. Even though I had a large case, I was hoping I wouldn't have an issue with size and I didn't. I really don't think it's much bigger than the RTX 4090. Card was very easy to set up and with the gigabyte GCC software had no problems overclocking and adjusting fan speeds. What a difference in way the system operates now. The CPU has little load on it and even the RTX 5090 during operation. It's not anywhere nearer getting pushed to its limits. Stays cool even if overclocked and I noticed a huge difference when I'm running VR now. The quality build has always been there by gigabyte in my opinion and that's why I still go back to them. But the GPU from Newegg and they were very generous in my return of the RTX 4090 which helped offset the cost of the RTX 5090. That is why I save everything just in case I'm going to sell it or there's a trade-in available. Newegg always comes through getting me what I need quickly and at a fair price.

This card works great for a lower cost card for most applications.

This card is fast and an amazing improvement over my old MSI RTX 2080. It has the PNY logo and a chevron design that lights up. It does have a vapor chamber cooler which helps significantly with temperature. Purchase price was $1,199 which is decent for an RTX 5080. It reaches clock speeds of 2,850 Mhz during game play which is higher than I expected. That is without any overclocking on my part.


-it plays games at 4k -it matches my motherboard -Packaged well, and came with stickers and a magnetic shield! - wasn't ROCKS is a big one!

I ultimately chose this card over the Sapphire Nitro + only due to aesthetic reasons. While Hardware Unboxed did a video on all the 9070XT cards the Sapphire one came out on top in almost every test but by only a few FPS, the ASRock one was almost always second. With only a few FPS difference you won't notice it anyways and you can chalk that up to normal margin of error during testing. Not to mention the ASRock card is about 60 dollars cheaper. This card fit in my Lianli A3 perfectly with about 3mm of space between the power supply and the GPU. I mostly play Doom, Last of Us Pat 1 and Cod MW3 and this card is no slouch when gaming. I came from a 7900XT which on its own was good but the 9070XT is such a big upgrade in performance. Paired with a 7800X3D I have yet to find a game that this card struggles on. Some people have complained about coil whine. I don't have any during gaming but I will get a tiny bit of whine at loading screens when the FPS pegs above 500FPS or so and even then its barely audible. Once the FPS comes down to normal (normal for me is around 250-300) the whine isn't there. I do recommend this card over all the others just due to aesthetic reasons (grey just just doesn't go with many builds like the Sapphire card) and pricing if you can get it on sale.

- Quiet - Good for the price


Worked out of the box, huge plus! Good looking styling, included cass badge, nice touch. Has GPU support, unfortunately, I can't use in the case it's in due to fans on bottom of case, and limited points on gpu to support GPU.

I thought I was going to regret buying the most expensive 5080 but Ive come to appreciate that I did. Upgraded from an RTX3070 and the difference is night and day. Star Wars Outlaws plays flawlessly. - 3200Mhz stable core clocks and 18000mhz memory without even touching power. - Temps are about 60dC at about 55% fan use at 73dF ambient. Fan is quiet when under 60% use. Going past that you begin to hear it but it doesnt bother me at all. - Frame Generation is honestly incredible. I thought Id hate it but its actually wildly impressive.

Super quiet fan curve, decent overclocking, all the special nvidea features, no bigger than the 1080ti I replaced and pulls less power than it too.

Weve been consistently pushing this thing for ours. Its more than enough to do the job!

Sff tiny card (okay average sized sorry haha) fits my ewaste i call a pc

-Quiet fans -RGB strip even on a budget card -Good performance for the price

Easy setup, Whisper quiet compared to some other iGPUS

The desing is beautiful Good temps The fans do not make noise Run heavy games un ultra quality above 60fps without problema at 1080 and some at 1440p but remember that GPU is for 1080p

RGB is crazy bright and there are so many LEDs that you don't get that obnoxious effect where each individual light can be seen. Cooler is enormous, keeps this card at sub 60C even under 270w loads Drivers are much improved compared Alchemest/A series (still quirky though)

Runs pretty much all games 1440p at 120+ fps

Fine performance and value priced. Of course, you can pay a lot more and, presumably, get more but will you notice the benefits? With this GPU, under Win 11 with a Gen 13 CPU, Z790 MOBO and DDR5 memory I get consistent 220+ FPS on full-screen benchmarks at 2560x1440 using highest quality settings. Bear in mind that your CPU is at least as important as the GPU when it comes to graphics performance so don't scrimp there. In my experience too many system builders overspend on the GPU and poor-boy it on CPU. That way leads to disappointment.
