EXCELLENT GPU. There is little to none exceptions to this product that I’m not 100% happy with. SOFTWARE is really nice but has quite room for improvement. Saw that a lot of people complained about high temps, then I realized that they were missing out a lot of tools that comes with the card that helps with high temps. Like the FRZR SWITCH. ITS HEAVY and I don’t think there would be a need to OC since the software do that for you. I can do anything on my computer with it.

A little pricey, works as expected. This 3090 model has very good vram thermals out of the box. Thermal pad change not required.

Temperatures are great, I run mostly a silent fan curve with fast ramping as it gets towards 60-70C. Even at 100% utilization and fans it is not loud at all, just a low hum. And it can absolutely keep itself below 75C for prolonged periods. I got a pretty good overclock of +100 core and +600 memory without dealing with BIOS and just moving the power limit slider. I was able to get it higher but not stable. Most games run at max settings 4K easily 100-200fps, I imagine at 1440p this will absolutely destroy anything. AAA with raytracing you should still get 60 ish or more but it highly depends on the game. I run a 4K 120hz LG OLED with GSync and it could not be better. Just make sure your power supply is decent, I upgraded from a 750W to a 1000W just to be safe and I had to remove my old PSU extensions. But performance wise, sound, cooling, all amazing. This is my first MSI card and I'm super impressed with the cooling, software, and it has a beautiful black metal backplate, as well as a GPU brace. MAKE SURE you measure your case and motherboard because this is a triple slot and literally over a foot long. If you can get it, it's cheaper than a 3080ti and a little faster.

I’d rate this card a five on a scale of one to five. This card is massive and my motherboard almost cracked in half under the sheer weight of the thing. I was spinning the fan blades before I threw it in my machine and got the sweet smell of new computer hardware that really set the mood for the remainder of the installation. This card is a little pricey but I knew by the build quality that it wouldn’t compare to the similarly priced Zotac RTX 3090. It wasn’t thermal throttling under heavy load, it wasn’t dead on arrival and it was nice to know that MSI has better customer support than Zotac. Best Buy is a great company. No queue system, website doesn’t crash when trying to purchase high demand items and best of all I get to go to the store to pick it up and see someone face to face and the look of awe and the sparkle in their eye when I pull out my order number for my brand new MSI RTX 3090 Gaming Trio. Thanks Best Buy.

I'm glad I was able to get mine before the price took off. It is the best 3090 you can buy when it comes to performance. There are no downsides to the card other than the huge price tag. Also, the best for overclocking even though I don't overclock.
