ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 Matrix Platinum

What’s funny is that everyone was paying this and higher for 3090 Ti cards on eBay not too long ago. Actual MSRPs were not far away from this as well.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

Well it's a matrix card so it's logic that it's too daamn expensive

The card in itself doesn't have any sense

Yeah, I mean it's not for me or most on this forum but there will be people that feel the 3200 is more than justified and like I always say good for them.


I might be willing to spend $18-1900 on something like this but not even the air cooled strix is that cheap lol so obviously I am not the target market.

It wasn't really the 3090ti at least not for long that card nosedived in price fast the OG 3090 was in the 3500+ range though and even the 3080 was briefly over 3k.

The pricing was maintained for both the 3090 and 3090 Ti for at minimum 6 months each respectively.

There's a gaming laptop missing in the bundle here ASUS.

I didn't mentioned the price gain (%)
2080 ti fe to matrix = ~+57%
4090 fe to matrix = +100%
maybe if they've keep the gain but they didn't

Check out DerBauer’s breakdown, Asus applied the Liquid Metal directly on naked copper. You got a year tops before the copper starts to corrode and there goes your fancy card

From his video,

I asked ASUS for a statement about the liquid metal / nickel plating situation. Here is the answer: ASUS has gathered a lot of experience with liquid metal on our Highend Gaming Notebooks and we have done a lot of intense testing, so we are confident that ROG MATRIX RTX 4090 will last for many years to come. This is why we have an extended warranty (for example up to 5 years in Germany) and we will always service our customers.

a warranty is for “if” something happens, not “when” it will happen…

Meanwhile the 4090 suprim liquid was selling for $1549 a few weeks back and fits into my itx h210 case with no throttling. Make it make sense!

You can buy a normal 4090, build the rest of a fairly high end PC and still end up below the 3200$ mark, ludicrous.

Or buy a 4090 put a block on it yourself and build the most overkill waterloop possible and basically get the same thing (actually better probably) and still fall under 3K.

For 3200$ you can buy 2 RTX 4090 for 1600$ each, connect them in SLI, get almost double the performance and show the middle one to thos asking 3200$ for a single unit

Nice review! OC results bit of a let down really in the grand scheme

This or buy a founder edition card and just replace the stock cooler with a Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO - 360mm RTX 4090 Reference Design with Backplate. With this, it gives options to expand it in a loop, etc. And you save about $1200 dollars.

And getting the same thermals or better.

Well, sort of... Is not about the performance, is about the piece itself.

Whoever buy this, it probably won't sell it after they use.

Where is the value in the piece itself? For 3200$ I would love to see some diamonds and gold decoration all over it...

Yes, they will probably retire with the piece, despite that in 18-24 months there will be RTX 5090 with rumoured 70% performance upgrade.

They are prepping the market for Blackwell pricing .

BUT EXPENSIVE

 

[GhostRyder]

So whats the point? Their own product (STRIX) overclocks roughly the same, it does not come much higher out of the box, you can watercool your own card for significantly cheaper, and its not even crazy quiet. This is another one of those crazy overpriced products that will only be bought as a status symbol and nothing else.

I mean if it had an extreme power limit that allowed it well beyond other cards (Including their own lineup, at least it would have that going for it.

The point is "Platinum" in the name. The premium look.

Regular ROG Strix card with AIO liquid cooling. The most expensive AIO liquid cooling in the world! What is obtained is normal for this type of cooling and it could be beaten with a real block on both sides! Severe abuse of the MATRIX brand! Miserably overpriced lipstick and the LC model definitely achieves it without any problems for a much lower price! You get two for the price of one MATRIX model! ASUS has lost touch with the highest quality and also all sense in the price of all their products!

ASUS doesn't give a damn about it.

As soon it will enter RMA with such request as worse temps you will greeted it is by design and device performance matches specific product performance.

It will be same horror story as with those mixed metal VRM water block. They are so experienced only at being retards lately. I actually guessed in a different post already that they will screw with metals again. They never learn.

Probably, I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with it just posting their statement, but let's be real people who can afford this gpu likely dgaf.

Same with my 4090 even with it's 4 year warranty I don't expect the manufacturer to care and look for every reason not to help me and if it breaks I'll buy a new one from a different brand. This would be the same if I spent 200 or 2000 on a product really.

I do have 3-5 year product replacement warranties though on the majority of my expensive products but those are purchased with the retailer who I trust way more dealt with all these companies way too many times to have faith in their CS.

 

[Braegnok]

I would have much rather seen an air-cooled card, like the old GTX 980 Ti Matrix,.. in the $2000.00 price range. And existing Asus RTX 4090 water blocks fit.

Supply was the issue, not MSRP pricing. Consumers were purchasing on eBay rather than MSRP because there was no supply. If you want to argue with me about the semantics of 6 months versus 5 months great. The point of the post is that the price isn’t unlike what we saw during Covid. ASUS knows there is a market.
