I dont regret this purchase at all...
Initially bought a 5080 due to the fact that the 5090 was out of stock at that time. Eventually the 5090 became available and without hesitating i snatched one up. Got it for almost 3000 after taxes. A couple of days later i noticed the gpu had a massive discount of almost 500, i realized i was still within the return period for it so i requested a price match to best buy and got it accepted. Best purchase i have ever made!

excellent card.
I tried the msi 5090 vanguard and surpin and I could say that the differences are very few, almost imperceptible when playing. So I can say that the Vanguard is very good for high frequencies and large monitors, whether 4K or 8K, so I was able to take advantage of my Pantaya Samsung Odyssey G95NC. 100% recommended....

Absolute monster of a GPU
I have been building PCs for over a decade, and I can honestly say the MSI RTX 5090 Vanguard SOC is on another level. From the moment I unboxed it, I knew this was not just an upgrade. It is the kind of card that makes your entire system feel brand new. Performance: Everything I have thrown at it runs flawlessly. Gaming in 4K at max settings is buttery smooth, even in the most demanding titles. Ray tracing is no longer a “hit or miss” feature; it just works, and the visuals are stunning. Frame generation is incredible as well. I am hitting numbers I never thought possible outside of benchmarks. Cooling and Design: This card is massive, but MSI’s cooling solution keeps temperatures surprisingly low. Even under heavy loads, the fans are quieter than I expected for a card with this much power. The Vanguard SOC also looks sharp inside the case. It has a clean, aggressive design without being overdone. Everyday Use: It is not just about gaming. Video editing and AI workloads absolutely fly on this card. Renders that once took minutes now finish in seconds. If you multitask or run demanding software, this card feels like a productivity cheat code. Bottom Line: Yes, it is an investment, but you are getting a card that feels truly future-proof. MSI delivered an outstanding product with the Vanguard SOC. If you want the best available right now, this is it.
