GIGABYTE Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Video Card GV-N4090GAMING OC-24GD

Pros: Boosts clock higher then advertised, 4 year warranty, rock solid stability, runs very cool

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: When I decided I wanted a 4090 and committed to obtaining one with all the discord notifications etc, I started down the rabbit hole of researching which model to target. Coming from being an EVGA fanboy for the last 3 generations of NVIDIA GPUs, I had planned on transferring that loyalty to ASUS. While researching their various 4090 offerings, this GPU, the Gigabyte 4090 gaming OC, kept entering the conversation and I started to hear and use phrases like vapor chamber and lowest VRAM temps of all the models tested. When I got a discord notification that this model was available, I put my faith in all of the positive feedback from the YouTubers and was lucky enough to snag it before going out of stock in less than a minute. Now a few weeks later - Im here to tell you that I couldnt be happier with my decision. This card is a beast! It destroys everything I throw at it at 4k 120hz on my LG OLED at ultra/high settings, whatever. I think I honestly hear it laughing at me sometimes, hahaha, is that all you got? In wireless PCVR with Oculus Quest 2, I feel like I am seeing in VR for the very first time in comparison to my previous 3060ti. Its like having a new pair of eyes. 150% super sampling with all sliders to the right (yes, finally no more compromises) makes everything amazingly clear. I feel like I also have a brand new VR HMD. Temps? I game for hours and check HWINFO64 - max 64C and average 58C. Noise? Sometimes the fans arent even required to run under full load - if it wasnt for the laughing I mentioned, I would never hear it! Speeds? Boost clock is advertised as 2535MHz, but according to HWINFO64 - mine boosts up into the 2770s. Price? Yea its $100 more than founders, Windforce, and other brand lowest tier models, but with this model you actually get something for that money: one extra year on the warranty, RGB, and factory overclocking (even if it is modest). Warranty? As stated, even though this isnt technically an Aorus product, the warranty is still redeemed on the Aorus site and does qualify for 4 full years. I didnt hesitate registering after 5 minutes of seeing what it could do. Get. This. Model. Thanks for reading. Enjoy!
