The reference 4090 cards have a maximum boost frequency of 2.61 GHz, while the TUF OC had a boost rate of 2.565 MHz and a base clock that hovers around 2.235 MHz. Also, be warned that the device emits a great deal of heat; you will need a well-ventilated computer with a front intake and a top exhaust. The power limiter gives this card a tad more leech, but more on that in our overclocking segment.

A sleek metal shroud with a brushed finish covers the heatsink array, and as you will see in the following section, it performs a fantastic job of maintaining low temperatures.  

The card gets bundled:

1 x Collection Card
1 x Speedsetup Manual
1 x Adapter Cable
1 x TUF Graphics Card Holder
1 x TUF Velcro Hook & Loop
1 x Thank you Card

As stated, it weighs just over 2.3 kilogrammes; thus, be careful when installing it, the PCIe slot could easily break.

ASUS offers dual BIOS that has preset quiet and performance (default) settings. However, the clock rates are the same in both. The BIOS option appears just to change the fan curve. Silent mode reduces noise marginally at the expense of slightly higher temperatures. 

Display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1, as expected, and yeah this is probably one of the most extended cards we've seen in a while 34cm.
