Pros: Like the regular 3090, you are covered for HD texture packs and 4k gaming for a while as far as vram is concerned. Runs cool topping at about 70c under load. While this has the ability to call in all 480 watts TDP it doesnt crank away using that kind of power on every game. Sure at 4k max settings and an unlocked frame rate it sure will. For RTS or casual games like rocket league you can limit the fps and save your electricity bill. The size of this thing, the happiness finally getting it installed and powered up, you feel like a bada.. its just straight up impressive. Can be had for the price of a 3090 but with this you get excellent cooling, an anti sag support, and full command of your neighborhoods power grid. (Kidding). Pure speculation here but this will probably be in line with the 4080. There are always initial shortages with any GPU launch even in good times. Theyre also going to resold and scalped sky high. Rather than go through that stress, this card is probably worth the buy. The performance is still excellent and youre most likely going to not say I wish I waited for a 4080 that maybe has a 10-15% improvement for $1700 then scalped for $3000. Nvidia knows how much these cards are worth for those who want their hands on them. Take with grain of salt.

Cons: Honestly this card is Im sure barely better than a 3090. But its awesome to be like I got a 3090 Ti for $1500. You probably need a 1000 watt PSU to deal with any power spikes if youre running a latest high-end CPU. You need a larger case (Im using the Corsair 4000 airflow) to be sure this card has room (under the 3 slots it takes up) to breathe. You may also need to optimize/upgrade your cooling because while the temps are good on the card, it is still dissipating all of the heat to maintain the lower 70c and below temps. The 4000 series is right around the corner. If youre lucky enough to get one, afford oneetc Im sure the 4080 is going to match this. For how much $$$ is the question and if they make them $999 then the 3090 Ti turned into a $500 premium for 24GB of memory and a higher electric bill.

Overall Review: With this card on sale, I took the dive. Building a 12th gen i7 PC I quickly found a 1300 watt PSU to power all of this nonsense. I play at 4k on a an LG C1 and while there are games like Cyberpunk that can still bring this card into the high 30s with the game entirely maxed out, it just takes minor adjustments and dlss if available, to get most games easily into the 120fps range. I also wanted to have the headroom on vram to enable me to hold onto this until the next generational leap like the 3000 series was. So is it worth it? Uhhhh thats still a hard question to answer. If you can put the money into supporting this card with complementary hardware and can reasonably assume you wont upgrade for a long while.or if you just have the money and the end goal here is to run 4k then sure its a great card for the long haul. Anything less, I really dont think its worth going past a 3080 12GB/ 3080 TI. Under 4k gaming this card is really really pointless.

Pros: No RGB

Cons: 4 slots

Overall Review: Upgrade from 2080 ti and Ill wait for the 5090 ti
