GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Windforce 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card - Black

Originally purchased since it was similar pricing to the MSRP of the RTX 4090 compared to other AIB's. Performance has been phenomenal and quite surprising even though I had come from an RTX 3090. Granted I have not been using the stock cooling solution that came with the card but replaced it with a Bykski waterblock for my custom waterloop. Performance has been rock solid and temps were ranging 50-60° C under max load. Expensive card for sure but have not felt any buyers remorse yet. Would gladly recommend this card for those that want solid performance without trying to overpay beyond the MSRP if its available as understandingly it is hard to come by at the moment.

This is a really wonderful looking card with a very nice dual matte black / dark grey to it. Not a single light on the entire thing, and I actually dig it now that I have it installed. I paired this with my I7 7700k just to see what difference it makes, and even with that old processor, it still runs games at max 1440p. I did go to CableMod online and bought a new cable to avoid using that big adapter that came with it. The only thing that seems a little silly is the GPU riser that comes with this card. It's a little magnetic adjustable pole that kinda holds itself in place. If the case gets a big enough bump or something, I'd imagine that could come lose. Fans don't even come on until around 45c, and I'm not able to hear them at all. I had to keep looking under the GPU to see when they were on. I am very happy I got this card, and there is no reason you should shy away from this.

No complaints so far after using this card for a couple of weeks. Very minimal coil whine to the point of where I don't really notice it (though if you listen for it there's always going to be some). Cooling performance is pretty solid - undervolting/OC performance is good. Basically seems to cool and perform about as good as any other AIB card but for less money. So, if you're not looking for lots of RGB or blingy gimmicky features and just want a solid 4090 for a relatively reasonable price, this card seems to be the best deal out there. It also will fit slightly more cases than a lot of the other AIBs, which are slightly longer. At 330mm it fits in my Fractal North and will likely fit in most mid tower ATX cases.

I did not win the silicon lottery with this card…could not get a stable undervolt at even 975 mV. Returned and picked up an MSI Trio X which is rock solid at 900 mV and runs super cool while sipping watts. I will say the Gigabyte had zero coil whine, whereas the MSI has a bit but not enough to bother me.

Biggest gpu i have ever seen. Or held for that matter. There is nothing you cant play with this thing.

Runs literally anything I can throw at it. Runs cool and quiet, didn't see a reason to get any 4090 above the base 1599 MSRP, this thing is a champ.

Honestly was lucky to even get a 4090 i didn't care which one at the time but I lucked out and got this card which is perfect it fits in my mid tower barely lol but goes almost right up to my radiator fans but besides that the cooling on this card even overclocked is incredible i rarely see 50c normally around 45c with fans set to auto. I'm extremely happy to have this card and at MSRP

I do not own a game that can challenge the performance of this GPU.
