I finally had the opportunity to score this card and I am impressed. The card works great, heat dissipation at least in an open case like mine (Core PS5) is great. Previously I had an FE 3090ti which is also great but limited performance and blasted a lot of hot air (this was great for winter though). Card is very large, it has a quality build and subtle RGB. Card also delivers as promised. As of now the amount of GPU memory and power is a great addition for LLMs and AI models. I am pleased with my purchase. Verify your MB and Raiser Cable (if any) are compatible with Gen5 PCIE, I had to lower the bus in my MB because of the raiser cable, didn't seem to affect performance at all. Also check your PSU is able to support the new ATX3.1 connection as this is honestly the best method to supply power. Lastly, have fun, it is an expensive purchase so I recommend you milk every penny out of it regardless of your intended use.

Impressive performance, excellent thermals. Very little coil whine for a 600w power draw. Cable is nice and cool. Multi-Frame gen is an excellent improvement this generation, coupled with the raw rasturization power of the 5090 and you got yourself a perfect 4k120+ gaming experience.

No complaints. Powerful card with few limitations. Large, so make sure you have the space. I use it for high-end VR (DCS) and content creation.

Let me start by saying: this card is a monster—in both performance and size. I’ve been building PCs for years, and I’ve never had to rethink my entire case layout for a GPU until now. First Impressions Unboxing the TUF RTX 5090 felt like unpacking a piece of industrial machinery. It’s solid, heavy, and screams quality. ASUS really nailed the premium build here. The metal shroud, the triple-fan design, the minimal RGB… it’s all sleek, aggressive, and purpose-built. Installation was smooth—until I realized my old PSU wasn’t enough. I upgraded to a 1200W ATX 3.0 model just to be safe. I’ve read horror stories about the 12VHPWR connectors overheating, so I made sure to use native cables and not adapters.

Monster graphics card. There isn’t any game that could make this card come close to breaking a sweat.
