Hi Pat, that card certainly is a beast and you'll notice that it's quite a bit more powerful than your 3090. I have the ASUS TUF 4090 OC but have installed a EK water block that makes it smaller than either of my water blocked EVGA 1080TI's and smaller than my EVGA FTW3 3090 Ultra with a block installed. Mine has a 600W BIOS (if I set the slider the power slider to 133%) although then it becomes voltage limited. Additionally, I use a native 12VHPWR cable (CableMod) for my Corsair AX1200i (Corsair Type 4 - 4 x PCIE) so I don't have the ugly octopus adapter hanging off the top of my GPU. *WARNING:* _Make sure you fully seat the adapter into the 12VHPWR socket on the top of that card! Best way is to install the adapter onto the card _*_before_*_ installing the GPU into your case._
so I wasn't scammed? I got a Zotac RTX 4090 Trinity and just bought a Zotac RTX 4090 AMP Airo Extreme, the Trinity's box is HUGE compared to the amp airo, I thought I got scammed but I guess not
Please help me answer my question. I have seen many buyers suffering from the excessive sound of the fans. Can you tell me whether the sound of the fans is annoying or somewhat acceptable?
Zotac has pretty loud fans this generation, even at low rpm. And unless you flash another bios on it, the minimum rpm you can set is 1100. (or off) But zotac cards this geberation also are generally good at having minimim coil whine. So ideally you swap the fans and have a really quiet gpu. If you don't want to swap fans inno3d and the fe model have a good mix of good fans and not too much coil whine. Ofc there is always luck involved.
Mine only ever hits 62 degrees in game! I used to water cool all of my cards, but not this time. I see so little benefit that it's not worth the money. This thing will last way beyond my use for it.

This card looks awesome! Can't wait to see the full review and comparison with your 3090. Let's see how it performs and how loud it gets!

This one is pretty good at idle but at full boar it’s laud…

what an absolute beastly looking card... Then I look at my GTX1070 and think of how much better off my power bill probably is.
Haha, only allowed to run the 4090 on solar
Just bought a used one for $480
wow $400 more then I paid..
Note this is in AUD
this card price does not make any sense, no use even 16gb ps5 run on 8k and every game so why buy this card? what use? waste of money and electricity
lol what? PS5 bearly manages 30 frames at 4K…
lol 3090 ded time for the 4090
Exactly right
