Pros: I have an over-engineered water cooling system so I thought this would be a perfect replacement for my old water-cooled 1080 Ti. It performs as a standard non-overclocked 3090. You can overclock the memory +500MHz
Cons: The GPU isn't really overclockable -- Whether running the "FireStorm" software from Zotac or anything else with an auto-tuning capability, you'll be told after running that the stock settings are best. -- Evidently the card is power capped right at 300 watts. That's not even reference card voltage. I don't think there is any way around that. GPU-Z will confirm that the speed is limited by total power as the "PerfCap" reason. -- Just to be clear, this thing maxes out at 35C GPU/50C hotspot/84C memory when the room is at 26C(about 79F) thanks to my two radiators with six fans (that also cool the CPU). -- Also to be clear I have a 1200 W power supply only 50% utilized -- The fact that the memory gets so hot makes me think the thermal pads/paste used aren't all that great. I know GDDR5 memory will tend to run considerably hotter than a GPU in general, but I figured the waterblock ought to bring that down. Even at stock it's still at 81C. That nearly room-temp water ought to keep those temps down if there was good thermal contact of the waterblock with the memory chips. At some point I might see if I can fix that with some aftermarket pads/paste but not while it's under warranty. -- The fact that you can't get more than 300W out of this thing under any circumstance makes me think they probably went cheap on the power supply circuitry. I doubt this is fixable with a bios swap.
Overall Review: - Not for overclockers - Overengineered water-cooling system will be underutilized -- May have value in an SLI configuration, as you will come closer to utilizing your cooling capacity - May have value for underclocking if you have expensive electricity or you're pushing the limits of your power supply It really should be clearly stated that the total power that one can send to this card is less than the 3090 reference design.
Pros: Best price for the RTX3090. Works exactly the same as the more expensive brands.
Overall Review: Great card, gteat price. Your best pick for RTX3090.
