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.

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

ouch 😏yeah no I have like 22°C currently (no aircon but a rainy day in winter and temps are going down to 0°C saturday) but I know what 38-48°C are like because that's what I had when I tried hardcore quality 4K encoding on the threadripper for 9h straight with cpu and gpu maxed lol
fun fact I drive "WRC Africa style" when I go on a race track with my car, heater on max to exhaust heat from the engine block, I've had 50-60°C inside on the nordschleife..it's rough >< and no I'm not opening the windows I don't have a rollcage (anymore)
hmmm my bad I didn't want to say they did a bad job, I'm saying the card aren't loud because they let them go hotter than previous gens if they had a same quality cooler which they often didn't
also I'm judging cooling with extreme cases you do not encounter unless you make them happen not regular gameplay especially not low fps gameplay I have no complaints playing raytraced 120fps forza5 or in 4K 60fps on my tv

Having 24gb of Vram is wasteful atm but i'm still hoping that it'll get used better in future game titles.
I think the most i've seen yet is about 12-13gbs of gpu memory used but most games use less than 10gb.
I'm unsure how it works but does it still use all the Vram chips or only half of them.
Say i'm gaming and my gpu memory usage is 12gb so half the 24gb is that all the chips running @ 50% or half the chips running @ 100%?
I doubt anyone here even knows the answer to this question. Maybe ManuelG knows how the Vram is used.
I wish it was the latter in other words all the chips are used @ 50% in this scenario and not the other scenario where only 50% of the chips are used @ 100%.

Depends on your use case - at 8k many games are using 16-18 gb. Some even close to the full 24gb.

DCS at 4k was maxing out the VRAM of my 1080Ti, il have to see what it does to my 6900xt but it also loves system RAM, 32gb is deffo a requirement.

DCS - Digital Combat Simulator World - mainly a militar flight simulator (one of the best i think), but not only...

If you have the hardware, and the patience its an absorbing game, and as mentioned is becoming a lot more than just a flight sim.
