In this video, I unbox and review my just acquired Asus ROG Strix RTX 3090 24 GB Model graphics card. I test 1440P and 4K in a lot of the latest games, benchmark the card through Time Spy And Port Royal, and compare results with my recently review Asus ROG Strix RTX 3080Ti.
The CPU being used is an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU on a MSI X570 MAG ACE Motherboard cooled with by a Corsair H115 iPRO Capillex AIO water cooler, with 32 GB OF G.Skill PC3200 CL14 Dual Rank Memory, EVGA 1,000 Watt Platinum certified PSU, and the monitor used an an Asus ROG Strix 170 HZ Monitor. All benchmarks and gaming tests were run on the latest build of Windows 11. I had to disable HDR for this video as my editing software wasn't properly supporting it for some reason.
Overall, it is no doubt a very powerful graphics card, and my results are actually pretty close in performance to the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3080 Ti I recently reviewed. The main differences I'm seeing are a little higher temperatures (75C), which is expected, and probably attributed to the additional 12 GB of RAM on the back side of the GPU. I will note though, with the card at stock settings, it only gets up to about 68C-69C. The main reason I decided to move to the 3090 is because it was only a little more expensive then the Strix RTX 3080 Ti, so I felt the 3090 would hold its value better, and if I mining situation is ever improved, I can try doing that with it as well.
Unfortunately this 3090 suffers from the exact same amount of coil whine as my Strix 3080 Ti, so that is unfortunate but seems be an issue with the Strix model cards I'm assuming. My Asus Strix RTX 3080 had very little coil whine though in comparison.
One little mess up I noticed was in Red Dead Redemption in 2 I for some reason had v-sync on (when ever you change GPU's the in game settings get all messed up) but my monitor is set to 170hz refresh so I'm guessing it didn't make too much of a difference, but I did notice the GPU wasn't being fully utilized in that particular test.
