ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 Ampere Pictured
Here's a much clearer picture of the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 "Ampere" graphics card by ASUS. A render of this card was revealed back in July, when the RTX 3090 was still speculated to be called the "RTX 3080 Ti." The card features the latest iteration of the ROG Strix design scheme by ASUS, with more shiny metal bits that conceal lighting elements. The cooler features a chunky aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by three Axial-Tech fans. The card is 3 slots thick, and about an inch taller than what would constitute "full height." VideoCardz, which is also the source of the image, predicts that ASUS could use same board design for both the RTX 3090 and the RTX 3080. We've seen custom-design RTX 3090 cards featuring as many as three 8-pin PCIe power inputs, while those based on the RTX 3080 have been shown with two. With the RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 being based on the common silicon, the GA102, differing in memory and core configurations, the R&D costs for custom-design board partners is greatly reduced.

Don't plan on changing that as a US based customer their customer service has been top notch and keep me gaming with very little downtime even cross shipping me a new card when I had a problem.
No one cares.
I mean Im interested that you are buying this one ONLY if you would explain why.
For example: Do you expect good things from the cooling? and if so why?
Do you have good experience with Asus? and if so what experience is that?
Do you have bad experience with other brands?
Why not just get Nvidia's own founders edition?
Why are you getting this in the first place, what do you need/want it for?
etc etc etc.
Its like an old book report for school where you are taught to not just say "I liked it".
That sort of answer/statement does not help anyone, we need to know WHY you liked it, then we have something to discuss or understand and know if that same mindset applies to us so we would know if we are interested or not.
"I liked it because the main character is a fox and i love foxes", ok great, well I dont particulairy care for foxes so if that is the only reason, I know that I should not really bother with this book based on that review.
phew: long explanation over.
+1 couldn't have said it better.
Now is true.
I dislike angular plastic decorative crap too. It does nothing for airflow, it cheapens the look of the card, and it doesn't match anything else in the PC except possibly the garish decals and decorative plastic crap Asus also bolt to their motherboards.
Like it or not, Asian fashion and style is very different to what the Western world likes, but all of the major GPU and Motherboard brands are Asian. If you want an example of Western styling, you get much more minimal designs like AMD and Nvidia reference coolers or Apple's entire product stack.
I'm personally considering this card as well, due to my Livingroom 1080ti being a Strix card and working perfectly since launch day. The Zotac 3090 is also on my list of possibles, due to my Bedroom Zotac 1080ti mini performing nearly as well for the past year and a half and the RGB on the new card looking sick. My only hesitation from an instant buy is not knowing the definite price (until tomorrow) and any reliable spec or performance info on Big Navi. Thoughts?
