for $500 over reference you can put up a kick ass loop to cool your whole system, plus the joy of tweaking. i do applaud Asus for thinking outside the box, but honestly a 140mm in push/pull would do the job given the temps shown reducing cost (shipping, manufacture, and retail) and aiding in case compatibility.
but those are nit picks, i want one but ain't gonna pay for one (or steal LOL)

I wonder why they bother releasing all these new cards when nowhere has stock of them......its like 'heres what you could have won.........'!?

More expensive than a 3090 and slower in every way. Hard Pass.

So officially fastest rasterization performance.

Looks like the test bench is cpubound in 1080 in some games. Maybe tweak the memory or do some all core overclocking to take away the bottleneck?

Weird...
Thinking of reselling my MSI 1070 Ti Titanium (got punks for Rs 15000)......still good..:p

Is there a way to increase the power limit? My block arrived and i'm planning to add mine to the loop, would want to get more than this out of it.
NVM, found out about morepowertool.

Thanks for the nice review. I would like to ask:
Is there any difference in FS2020 when SAM is activated?
Codemasters F1 charts show DX12, typo? I wonder, FS2020 compared to all the other DX11 games, we all know, is heavily CPU bounded, but why then is there so much of a fps performance drop in 4k resolution compared to a RTX3090? This is something only FS2020 4K chart shows, can someone try to explain, maybe because of RAM speed, size? BTW: if a 6900XT WC is same price as a RTX3090FE AC let´s say $1500.-, I would prefer the 3090 because of 24GB RAM (not because of RT).

Well I'm very happy to have an ASUS Rog Strix 3080 OC in my new gaming computer, 1905 MHz but with 1935 MHz available within the ASUS Tweak software. It's very quiet with its triple fan 2.9 slot design, why would I be better off with the complication of a full WC loop (my 10700K 5GHz has a Corsair Pro 360 to cool it)? I paid approx £900 for the card and it was the only card I wanted for the new system (the last one was 7 years old with EVGA 780's in SLI).
I also bought an ASUS PG35VQ with £700 reduction in the Amazon Black Friday sale to replace my 10 year old Dell U2711 1440 IPS 60 Hz monitor (now given away to a friend's teenager). I've set the PG35VQ to 144Hz with 10 bit colour and wow it's an amazing gaming screen, TFT Central have an excellent review which provides great set-up advice.
The reviews prove there's no point in paying a huge premium for a 3090 for gaming use. Although AMD has done better to close the gap with NVidia this time the FPS data Hilbert posts prove that NVidia is still best for 3440 & 4K gaming. I started 1440 gaming 10 years ago and wanted to move on to an Ultrawide which will last for the next two card refreshes.
As for the terrible supply of the new cards & AMD's processors, what a shocking misjudgement by both NVidia & AMD. How to p**s off thousands of customers, is this part of business school/MBA teaching?

One of the most beautiful cards I have seen.
People with brain might have a better use for it than just gaming and maybe they dont even care 3090 being a better card for the price, or maybe even getting a 6800 and watercooling system for the same price.

Do Not try to test Fs2020 in this time,its useless Dx11 junkatry.
MS Flight Sim 20-20 is a junk mess because instead they,M$$$,should build the game on Dx12 API they bring the game with Dx11 junkyard.
