TUF RTX3090 O24 was first, $2200 scalper price during Trump Covid when you couldn't get .... I was off on building a flight sim. THAT worked out well with AMD R9 5950X, 128GB GSkill, Noctua Air-Cooled. So Gen 5 comes along and upgrade is my game now. ASUS ROG EXTREME X670E, Seagate FireCuda, more GSkill and ASUS Strix RTX4090, new be quiet! case, 360MM Silent Loop and 1500W PSU. Basic system new case, cooler. Made the mistake of accepting an ok EATX vs a Lian Li O11D EVO XL rgb a so much better fit for the board. I have high confidence in the Lord Astral90 O32, but ASUS help an old guy out, I got everything here for a bad ace sim. All I need is that X870E ROG APEX, you know what I mean? I can't give an honest review without that board. Otherwise I'll have to use this old X670E EXTREME which might be fun just for messing around.
Raw performance is decent but the nvidia frame gen and dlss is what amplifies it 1440p monster Sleek card design A lesser generation uplift than previous generations but its still the best 70s card to date
Much better value than NVIDIA 4000 series. Performs well for normal graphics, and can handle some ray tracing if desired. Not tied to the 12VHPWR adapters before they work out the bugs, still uses 2x 8-pin molex. Looks well made.
- Fast - Cool temps - RGB is smooth
- FSR4 is amazing. I used to use XeSS over anything else or just run native because FSR3 was a mess. Not so with FSR4. GoW and CoD have been buttery smooth with FSR4 without any odd artifacting. Enabling it requires the AMD Adrenaline software at the moment but this will be fixed over time - Runs much cooler than my 7900XT. I sit at about 70C when I'm doing heavy loads. Fans stay impressively quiet throughout my gaming sessions. - Raytracing support is finally decent! I'm able to let games keep their defaults on (which usually had low to mid-level RT enabled) and games run well. Don't expect miracles but for the AMD fans out there, this is awesome. - This card is a chonky one, 3 slots! This means better cooling and efficiency not to mention it just looks like a beast. Only drawback with this is that it does take up more space so it may not fit in smaller cases or with setups that have tighter clearances. - Drivers have been great and no issues. Not sure if team green is having the same experience at the time of this review.
Why did I pick this? I did not want to spend $700 on a GPU but all you little heifers bought all the cheap graphics cards and I didnt have a choice. Shame on you! Of course, by the time you are looking for your build you will probably be able to find reasonably priced GPUs. I needed a white card because I have a white build and a black card would look silly. Alas, sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and buy something over priced for your build and that is exactly what happened here. I am not a gamer. I might play an occasional game but this is overkill for my build. Evaluate your own situation and choose appropriately. So, I dont have any FPS reports or anything like that. I can only report on how the install went. The GPU went in fine. I went to the AMD web site and downloaded the latest drivers and the AMD software. It was easy and fairly automated. No issues. In a no load situation the GPU is hovering in the 30s C. Since I havent gamed I cant tell you how hot it would get.
3240MHZ OC out of the Box, Magnetic fans that can be easily be cleaned and replaced, better cooling AIB and RGB connector for controlling the RGB in the card.
Runs cool Good performance It is quiet Looks good
-Great price for a 3070 -fits really well in my case -everything worked perfectly
Great cooler, clean look.
Good performance, runs cool, not overly large
- Easy set up, and it works great with out any issues. - Great vender (XFX) I own other products from this vender and never had any issues with their products. - Long warranty was fast and it arrived a few days earlier.
This card performs very well and works great. Had no problems installing the card, and it was the first one I've ever installed.
Went from a 3070 to an and 7800xt and now this. Still seeing 30-50% gains in various gains. Superior dlss on nvidia cards. While I wish the price was $750, paying $830 was acceptable due to higher prices on the outgoing 7800 card I sold. 16 gb of proper memory will keep this card relevant vs 5070 that has 12 gb. This card is no frill with black exterior and using Mai afterburner which I am used to and enjoy using. I noticed a 30 mhz bump in afterburner to my boost clock speeds that I wasnt expecting. I tune my card and undervolt to maximize performance and temperatures. The build quality of the card is what I expected for being a base model card. Temperatures run in the mid 60s Celsius..
-A++ on aesthetics and cosmetics. Bar none it is pretty with its sakura anime character on the backplate and the heatsink/fan shroud design too. The fan blades look like sakura petals. -It has 16GB of video RAM -Big heatsink and 3 fans. Mine idles around 36C. Fans seem to only turn on at around 60C. -Great performance playing on high settings (not max) at 1080P resolution. -Comes with anime and sakura stickers in the box. -Card no longer has any perfume smell. It just smells like new electronics now.
The shipping was next day like they said the card is a nice upgrade from my Amd Rx 6600
Close-ish to MSRP compared to what else was available
