EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra

[randompeep]

More like evga being evga...it's the fatal combination I've seen coming sooner or later. Not excepting something better for the flagship of 'em all, but taking in consideration it measures 3x the perf of a vega 56 @4k and the FE having 1.5k MSRP, it should be priced ~1650 cost of a transaction, not the 'sheet price'. Preferably, this industry needs more transparency and courage to say 'buy it, BLING BLING BOY'

I'm adding...20% price increase over MSRP is a lot for an AIB. It should come with a proper PSU at this price to be fine with non-less than 1.8k USD for the ultimate experience.

As with all those silly overpriced pieces of technology, it will go from the shelves straight to the museum without me giving a second look. Good ridance !

Is it possible that you are having unrealistic expectations that go beyond what is possible at this time?

It's gotta be fast, it's got duct tape on it... the empty spaces on the PCB and that electrical tape tells me they're pushing the card quite a bit. Even after changing the heatsink color, the card is still ugly as heck for me. EVGA again strikes without a clue what the end user wants in his "everyday" PC. One can argue about doing some modifications on the PCB to use the card for overclocking runs. However, knowing how these GPUs react to high Ghz, I might even argue that the AMD card could get more gains from overclocking.

Stupid question maybe.

But is it possible to undervolt, how much and how well it keeps performance/frequency vs watts.

It used to be something that competition did fairly well. For example my piece of Vega 64 can do 1620@1.0V (with better PSU even a bit less). Which has a lot of benefits..

Awesome card. My comment is regarding game streaming performance. W1z, this is something which isn't benchmarked, and I'm not sure there would ever be any expectation to.

Services like Steam Link obviously do not match direct performance on a PC. At the same resolutions and graphic settings, I usually experience around a 10-20 FPS drop when playing a game on Steam Link in my living room versus playing that same game directly on my computer. I have a 5700 XT and a 3950x, but I am considering in investing in a 6900 XT or a RTX 3090.

Of course, now with the problems brought about by the beta of Amazon's New World game, a lot of people have come out of the woodwork claiming that EVGA's FTW3 series cards have serious flaws in their design or build quality. I don't know how much truth there is to this, and one article I've read has claimed that Nvidia has temperature sensors internal to the GPU that video card OEMs are choosing not to use; what on Earth is really going on here?

Hi,
ftw3's have dual vbios so maybe just the oc vbio's has a issue
All 3090's suffer from poorly designed cooling of the backside memory chips even on nvidia fe design.

And as oc'ing goes lots of people are doing shunt mods too to workaround designed voltage limits.

That's a big card with a big appetite for power. I hope gamers buying this card are either gaming at 4K or running really high refresh rates on 1440p.

I bought this card for $1955 plus tax back during the week of Cyberpunk's release. I'm still using it in conjunction with a Core i7 5960x, 32GB DDR4 and a few sata Crucial 2TB SSD.
Performance has been quite strong. Yes I know the CPU is a bottleneck, but the card itself has performed flawlessly in all games and tasks required of it. Definitely made Cyberpunk look and play better/smoother. It even makes Battlefield 2024 look great. runs flawlessly in DCS world with my Oculus Quest 2.

I also have a Core i9 14900K with a 4090 and 32GB DDR5.

I was looking up pricing for the as-of-yet-unreleased-5090 and planning to get that card in the AIO version. I will probably sell my 3090 when I get the 5090 and downgrade my 4090 desktop to takeover duties the 3090 held.
