ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 Ti TUF Gaming review





It's been boiling and baking for a while now inside NVIDIA's oven, a GeForce RTX 3090 'Ti'. The 3090 flagship series now gets even faster memory, more shaders, and a TGP passing 450 Watts. This review benchmarks the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti from ASUS in a TUF OC flavor.

me too i went with the phanteks block as it comes w/ backplate (and typical argb) for less than $200 with tax
but this IS bigger just bc of VRMs/power rating, the heatsink may be the same but if so the one on our 6900xt was overkill
Ive got the 6900XT version of this card and to be honest the cooler on the 3090Ti looks almost the same size, no idea if its noisy as put a block on it straight away.

Same here, normally i go with EK blocks but for a reason i cant remember i went with Phantek.

Can we just once again acknowledge the fantastic job ASUS has done with their cooling solutions on the RTX3000 series? It works so well, so well, bravo. The memory stays cool, GPU stays cool, even on their silent preset BIOS and it's well, quiet.

don't agree with favorable comments about temperatures it's more like Apple they let them get hot
EDIT : I meant they allow them to get hotter than older generations, which isn't "bad" they are doing the best job they can considering the crazy watts
with my modded skyrim which is more hardcore than any retail game or even benchmarks/stress test, other than playing borderlands 3 maxed (above badass) that is with vsync off on a 3090 it goes to 200-350fps fyi which will hit the gpu power limit nonstop, not saying I play like this (I have vsync on) just saying it's a real test for the cooling unlike benchmarks, if your ambient temp is relatively low try it you'll quickly feel a heatwave coming out of from your pc it's wild
I get with an "obsolete" 380w limited 3090 I get fan speeds up to 2300rpm which is audible for 91°C gpu hotspot and 87°C gpu memory for I don't remember but something like 83°C gpu "temp"
that's hot very hot and man do the heat exiting the case proves it versus watercooled, the card used the "silent" bios
yesterday I tried to push the fans to the max with msi afterburner o_O
omg an awful noise at 3000+rpm it sounds like the fans are going to dislodge from the card it's unbearable
can't wait for a waterblock on that one
nothing against Hilbert but when I see guru3d temps be it for the cpu or gpu we clearly don't stress test the cooling the same way
my way is more like a worst case scenario but for those who don't know back in the SLI days my psu exploded destroyed one of the gpus and parts of the motherboard so now I overdo cooling and power supplies, because it would be a very expensive mistake
personnally I do cinebench+kombustor at the same time, I saw afterwards that Linus does cinebench + furmark which is pretty much the same..if you want to see the real max power consumption and heat possible in your custom loop
this will burn an air cooled PC don't even try it's like a virtual 150% cpu usage if you don't have a 1000+ psu also don't try as I easily hit 840w with a 5950x or 12900k +380w max gpu and when I had an oc 3960x threadripper I was at like 1100watts@socket
this is why I went from 1 to 2 to 3 rads in 2020 ^^ and replaced the 850w psu for a 1200w
