Does the power limit graph mean that all these cards, except for the Gaming X Trio and the Strix, stress your PSU the same? I want to run a 3090 on my Seasonic 750w Platinum modular PSU. So I'm looking for a version that can be comfortably ran on that. And although the power consumption calculators say that I would be fine with all of 'em, I would appreciate your thoughts on it, also for the longevity of the system. I'm obviously not doing any overclocking ;) My setup: - Msi x570 unify - 3900X - Dark Rock Pro 4 cpu cooler 1 x [Seasonic Focus PX-750 PSU] 3 x [m.2 NVME's PCIE gen4 ( Corsair MP600)] 2 x [32gb ram 3200mhz] 1 x [HDD @ 7200rpm] 3 x [monitors] + a couple of case fans and some usb stuff

[@Yamagatabr]

Wich one is "safer" to buy as a probably minned card, betweent the RogStrix and Tuf? It seems that the Rog has better cooling, but wouldnt tha lower power limit of the tuf mean that it was running cooler?

[@ugorizzoli5830]

I understand that most users would just plug in the card and be done with it, so reviews should cover that kind of use case, but for comparing cooler efficiency it's really noise normalized or nothing IMHO. Still great video though.

[@OTechnology]

Well the efficiency calculation is literally cooling to noise ratio, but yea a noise normalized data would be much better just unfortunately I don't have the cards myself...

What your use case is doesn't really matter what model of the card you should get. You should probably look into the 3060Ti or 3070 though because video rendering has diminishing returns getting a higher end card. Then use my video on those to pick the best one that's available to you.

If you’re not going to overclock it then I suggest getting the TUF since the Strix won’t be much faster at all unless you overclock it.

Hey there very well structured video. I got a quick question. I ordered a complete build with custom watercooling for the gpu. They told me today they will use the palit card since its compatible with the cooling block. But after your video it also seems like the worst card compared to the others overclocking wise. Do I understand this right, that i will never be able to compete with the other cards, and i also cant apply better overclocking setting? Many thanks!

[@OTechnology]

Thanks! About the Palit, yes in terms of the power limit yea its not great at 365W which means even if you watercool it you probably won't gain anything extra.

[@dnsean03]

How about EVGA? Which place would this card take in this ranking? In a recent video you brag about purchasing such a card. Are you planning to update this movie? I would like to buy a 3090 for the CoolerMaster EG200, but the Strix is a few mm too thick and I suspect EVGA, unfortunately too. The Founders Edition is unfortunately beyond my reach (when it comes to availability). I would like a6000 the most, but the price is killing me. And many thanks for a professional video!

[@CitizenTechTalk]

Really excellent vidoe!! Thank you!! It's quite a mixed bag isn't it, this time around? Looks like Asus pretty much have it in the bag though, especially the Strix, wow! Kingpin has a competitor finally! Also I've just seen the new Inno3D RTX3090 X4 (4 fan cooler design). I've tried to get info but it's mostly in Thai and sadly I don't speak Thai. I just wonder? How would that stack up do you think?

[@OTechnology]

Yep I'm especially disappointed in MSI though in their defense most people probably won't care about the VRM. The Strix is great but I wish they also used 70A power stages like the Founder's but its not a problem 1080A is plenty enough lol. I don't know about the inno3d but from my past experience using them they're gonna be along the lines of Zotac and Palit cards I think.

[@CitizenTechTalk]

@@OTechnology yeah what was MSI thinking this time around? And oh ok nothing to get excited about then. And this is what I'm not getting too. Why no water cooled "halo cards" that take from all of the best of the best and make that exact card? The perfect best of the best of the best 3090 components? I'm very confused by this launch as its been quite half baked and continues to be moving forward. Why not 20gb cards or at least 16gb like AMD for the 3080 straight off the shelf to begin with? None of this is making any sense at all, especially AIB's aside from ASUS his time around too? I don't know, something isn't right. I can feel it in my gut. And the power table drivers "fix" (band aid) ontop. I honestly think the architecture is flawed, the caps just showed it and now most of the cards aren't going over 2ghz!? My Zotac AMP Extreme hits 2073mhz and my Zotac AMP Extreme 1080ti 2063hmz both at 53-55C MAX. The Trinity on the other hand, what the!? Somethings a miss and I'm sure it'll come to light early next year. I hope the 6900xt beats the RTX3090 even by 1fps on average as I'll feel safer in my purchase I think. I'f not I'll have to buy the RTX 3090 STRIX and pay the quality control tax as I'm an enthusiast overclocker myself and don't want to blow up my card 😂.

[@OTechnology]

@@CitizenTechTalk RTX 3080 can only either be 10GB or 20GB no in between due to the 320-bit memory bus, am actually going to make a video explaining this configuration that affects other cards before too. I feel like Nvidia just didn't give partners enough time or information to develop their cards properly this time around. I definitely also agree that its only Asus and possible EVGA that's making good all around cards this time around. The rest ranges from meh to garbage on one or more components of it...or as a whole.

[@CitizenTechTalk]

[@gnrld]

So if we're going to throw a waterblock on and undervolt, do most of these quantifiers matter? Seems like it's based on PCB/component quality which directly ties to OC and power limit, and then cooler efficiency. Basically if we're not OC'ing and replacing the cooler they're all practically the same?

[@OTechnology]

If you're not overclocking the default power limit affects the performance they have. The cooler sure if you're putting a waterblock doesn't matter. The VRM current capability more shows how good a quality the PCB design is as manufacturers that cheap out will for sure put lower VRM capabilities which again mostly matters if you overclock and remove power limits with shunt mods.

[@latentspacex]

Palit 3080 GamingPro is alright, I use it in the Ncase M1 (SFF), and it fits just barely. Good thing to know that the 3090 has THE SAME size and cooler :/ although not sure if its a good thing

Just bought a Zotac on the basis a physical card is better than a non existent one! Since I don't intend to overclock, and the jump up from a 1080ti makes the slightly lower fps from the Zotac compared to other 3090s pretty much irrelevant, it'll keep me going for the next 5 years

[@martinblanch5828]

Yeah I just bought one I'm not an overclocker and not gonna spend 300 more for 2 frames or a bit quieter fan! My main reason was for the vram I change cards every 5 years and why because games get more demanding hopefully with this the vram should keep up! At the end of the day these cards piss over everything.

STAY AWAY. Severe design flaws making the card underperform and sometimes die, due to design issues they also overload the PCIE slot power draw. EVGA won't say a word and they simply send out different revisions of the card from RMA which are hit and miss.

[@lupierz]

I managed to get a Zotac 3090 for a really good price and it's not the best. But, it was a REALLY good price. The RAM pads and paste on the core are hampering the cooling a lot on this card. Power wasn't an issue at aony point for OC. I'm actually running it undervolted, re-padded and re-pasted and it's really good with easily doubling the performance of my 1080ti at similar or lower wattage.

If the msi suprim x were in this list where would it be placed/ranked?

I gave up on getting a 3080 since they're all over $1600 around me... got a 3090FE for $1499 at Best Buy and loving it! It auto clocks to 1990-2010Mhz solid while gaming which is a whopping 42Tflops!

Hey mate what temps are you getttingunder load? i got a chance to get one for £900 in the uk, but peeps are saying the cooler is crap?

[@redux1647]

flashed my zotac 3090 with the gigabyte oc bios 390 watt got a nice increase in perf temps and stability is also fine

[@supernice_auto]

Hey I just purchased the Msi Trio 3090 and I’m 50/50 on just running it without liquid cooling. I don’t use 4K or anything crazy but unsure if it’s needed to stop the card from burning itself out 🤣. Can someone who hasn’t water cooled their 3090 tell me how it’s going. Cheers

i got a deal on my local store for a Zotac Trinity for about 200-300 USD cheaper then listed price. Apparently people in my country are straying off 3090 so much that the stores are actually giving discounts.

[@OTechnology]

Wow that's awesome. What country exactly?

[@Espire_SSRB]
