They didn't max the power limit though, and that lead to sub 2ghz speeds. TPU did but they kinda thermal throttled. I believe this particular version is the only ampere card that will get something tangible out of watercooling.

[@gex581990]

@@Taqz839 only $800 and It seems like the guy only used it a few times and just left it in the box for a long time. It was essentially new. I really thought I was gonna get scammed cause even then the lowest you saw it for used was $1k but the ebay seller had 5 stars and ALOT of sales so I said screw it and tried it. Best decision ever and I still don’t regret it, there’s no way I’m buying 40 series ever. Nvidia has don’t a lot of sketchy shit lately being greedy and buying that shit especially at those prices just pats them on the back for it. Also they are just big and ugly as fuck. When I saw the Gamers Nexus video showing off all the cards I literally was laughing my ass. Also the Asus showcase when they kept dropping the Strix card cause it was too heavy and it fell out of a itx motherboard multiple times had me rofling too.If I didn’t get that 3090 I was just gonna get a 6950xt. I was gonna wait for 40 series but I just had a gut feeling that it was gonna be bad and just got impatient. Honestly right now if you can’t find a good deal on a 3080-3090ti (cause Nvidia is controlling the market to raise high end 30 series prices to make 40 series seem like the only option unless you wanted something budget or mid tier) then I’d just get a 7900 xt/xtx or 6950xt. I love both Amd and Nvidia cards, the whole attitude towards AMD is just stupid. People say “their drivers have too many issues” or “their ray tracing is terrible” and it’s just bullshit tho their RT definitely isn’t as great but if you got a 6950xt the performance is so good that it compensates for the lower performing RT. People just really like to exaggerate it but yea anything lower than a 6800xt I wouldn’t bother with RT cause in the lower end stuff it’s definitely not worth it. The whole driver thing people say is just stupid, Nvidia drivers are just as bad ,if not worse. Especially lately. 6900xt/6950xt even goes for $600-700ish now.

I would be most interested to see this 480W card with a waterblock, about the only reason to buy this IMO. I think you could produce 2100Mhz stable ~40C, particularly considering it will produce 1950Mhz on air with what would be incredibly high power leakage at ~70c. Interested to see if the the VRAM can produce beyond 10Ghz too, it should in theory as Samsung sells faster bins of these modules, though possibly not with VRAM stacked on the back of the PCB.

Thanks, I thought no one would point that out! Next to the absurd price - even 20% above MSRP! If it were a AMD blower model, people would scream and shout how much power this thing draws, Nvidia and its partners were clever enough to slap just a monster of a cooler on there to keep the temps and noise in check, and the power usage becomes a footnote people seemingly don't care about too much. All of that just for the benefit of Nvidia optimizing their profits by using an inferior node. People seem to love it though - what a strange world we live in.

It's hard to prove much regarding the recent scandal. I wouldn't jump on the cancel bus until there is some real evidence of wrongdoing. As it stands, they have offered refunds to any affected customers & promised to tighten up their procedures. Nobody really got hurt. There are clearly a few dodgy individuals in the company, but I would hesitate to paint them all with the same brush. If that's enough for you to decide never to buy from them again, then you're free to make your choice.

humm im not all impressed and i oreded a 3090 strix oc, did you even take adventage of the 480 watts? i feel so let down if that was all you get for the price its like 1% from the 3090 tuf

[@EarthIsFlat456]

HU hasn't reviewed any 3090 Tuf though so you're basically comparing the performance of the 3090 Strix here against the performance of the 3090 Tuf from another reviewer, which is pointless.

[@andersjjensen]

There is also no guarantee that you'll be able to utilize the full 480W. If you lose the silicon lottery your particular GPU may tap out at 420W and no amount of voltage will make it clock any higher while retaining stability... such is life as an overclocker. And what is even worse: yields improve over time. So you are statistically much less likely to get a good sample in the early production runs. In fact, getting some of the last silicon that gets produced in a series is always the best bet for competitive overclockers.

[@wishen]

@@andersjjensen nothing i dident already know, i thougt that the strix cards where binned chips. With that mutch higher boost speed from the factory, then any other 3090. So i was expecting abit more then the same stats as basicly any oc card thats even 100 lower out of the box. But iguess you pay 300 for the strix brand and no more oc headroom what so ever.

[@andersjjensen]

@@wishen You also pay for a hefty VRM layout and better-than-required components all around... I do, however, suspect that once proper mass manufacturing of these chips is finally a thing that ASUS themselves will bin out the best chips to their top models.... currently it's kinda hard for them to do any binning when they get like 500 chips a week.

Hey thank you so much for the tear down, I was interested in the deshroud mod compatibility for small factor pc, if you plan to do this again in the future you could consider removing the fans from the heat sink to see how easy we could replace the fans with Noctua NFA12s.

Nice with a video about the Strix card from one of the bigger more experienced reviewers. Would have preferred the 3080 but this still gives a good view of the cooler. If I understand this (and a few other) review correctly, the MSI board actually seems to be the best option if you're looking for good performance with a low noise output? I was kinda hoping for the Strix to be best in this regard, I find it better looking, and have a hard time justifying supporting MSI lately - but I really want to keep my system as silent as possible ... The Master/Extreme from Gigabyte looks almost too overkill for me to even want it in my system - but hopefully with that much heatsink, it's at least close to silent? Are you expecting to receive any Aorus cards soon?

Hi there, im not sure if I missed this in the video. But what was the total system power draw, just want to check if my 850w power supply will be enough with this 3090 and upcoming ryzen 5900x (105w) cpu Thanks

For once, on that generation of cards, you had them 3 month before launch to test them and we have 3 month to make our minds on what to do before being able to buy one.

what is the resolution of the game that you are using to show this temperatures? It is an important detail to know!

But the main difference that makes Asus ROG the better choice than others coz, it's better in design, better in cooling, unlocked to overclock. and has the best performance against!

[@Axlgrinder1]

Hey guys, greetings from germany, nice videos. I am realy enjoying your videos..formalities so far. I am not sure, if you re aware of the fact that the card you were testing is an already overclocked card. The boost frequency of the Asus strix 3090 24gb is 1725 mhz and your version is the Asus strix 3090 OC with a boost of 1890Mhz. So you overclocked the Card already for 13% :D

They are not buying these cards, its the sample from the manufacturer. If you want to blame anyone for the shortage of rtx 3000 series, focus your anger on prebuilt companies that are buying those cards in bulk

[@Leester-70]

It can be a little annoying. Some channels (like this one) are being professional and doing reviews, other channels seem to relish flaunting their cards in our faces. I've unsubbed a handful of them.

[@harshlens]

@@Leester-70 Yes that's true.

[@Witch1412]

So no one should do rtx 30xx content until they are back in stock? The results of these reviews will still be meaningful when you can actually buy the cards.

[@laggmonstret]

I have a hard time finding a review with a temp and noise test inside of a case. Like how hot would the GPU and CPU get with a Noctua NH-D15s vs a good AIO Water cooler and who is the most silent? Most users don't run their PC's on a open testbench :D

[@andersjjensen]

Gamers Nexus did one recently. And Steve said he ran the test in a case with all fans populated.

[@wncoulte]

Finally got an ASUS Strix rtx 3080 OC to replace my 1080ti OC, but out of the box the 3080 temperatures are averaging 80 degrees ... no tweaks at all. I'm concerned. What you think i should do?

[@KonstantinOverlord]

have you measured the thickness of thermal pads? and what is it if so?)

cool card (dadjoke) are you going to have 3080 aorus master or extreme for a benchmarking, i got the 3080 master and the cooler is really good. wanna know what you guys think about it

[@juhoniemela7300]

Ordered one now, but I'm quite unsure which power supply should I couple it with. I have Seasonic 750w platinum power supply and I'm planning to OC the card later on so at the stocks this 750w might be sufficient, but not after the proper OC. CPU is Intel 10700k with 5Ghz OC. Thanks for the great review.

Oh hey, it's the card I've had on order since launch... It's so close, yet so far!
