Finally!! I've been waiting for this video a lot, and I hope you do the same with 4080. A question I have is, for those who want a watercooled 4090 for their custom loop, and that just want a ''normal'' OC, which to choose? A good VRM one and then put a waterblock on it? Because the Inno ones look meh don't they? I've thought about the founders if available but I don't really know what to do.

@OTechnology Жыл бұрын

Hopefully I can do the 4080 video soon. For watercooling a 4090, I would just get a card with a 600W power limit and waterblock it. The Inno3D ones are very mediocre.

One thing that should be added is COIL WHINE. For example, all ASUS cards are reported to have pretty bad coil whine noise, MSI and Zotac suffer from this as well albeit to a lower extent, while Gigabyte models are less prone to strong noise. At least this is my personal conclusion after reading a ton of reports from Reddit and other forums. So all in all, the Gigabyte Gaming OC is the best model on price/perf overall, while the Suprim X is probably the best if money is no object.

@nguyendinh2052 Жыл бұрын

@@dimento6097 I just picked SuprimX (last unit close to my location) and still testing it. Taking the full advantage of 2 weeks no questions asks return policy. This thing is really quiet and I am the guy who had his previous GPU watercooled. I like the fact it starts with the Silent Bios by default. It really gets you by surprise how quiet it is. This is of course only my example but I have no coil whine whatsoever, zero, nada, with my ear close to the card. The loudest part of my PC now is the 140mm exhaust fan on my chassis I needed to turn down from 1200 RPM to 700 RPM. Card looks good and runs good.

Thanks. I wonder what you would consider "worth it". For example, in my nation, the pricing of the MSI 3090 Suprim is about 12% more than the Founder's Edition and the other high end top tier cards tend to cost more. Personally I think the Suprim is the one to get, as the others cost a lot more, although there's a case to be made that the AIO version of the Suprim is worth paying 4% more (that's how much more it was) than the air cooled version..

Still at 141fps throughout the entire game(fps limiter at 141), basically the gpu is sleeping at 50% to 60% usage. It,s cool, quiet and powerful. OC wise (just a test): +1500 on memory clock gives another 10 to 20 fps, depending on the game.

After spending $10,000 on rtx 4090s, I returned all of them and only kept the gaming OC model. FE model coil whine was horrid and the fan had higher pitched noise. If you are obsessed with a silent monster gaming rig like me, go with the gigabyte gaming OC model. It's not completely 'silent' but everything about that card is low pitched, which makes the noise so easy to tolerate.

Have a KFA2 4090 SG OC that I got at the msrp in my region, runs cool and quiet even when drawing 430W+. Have only heard coilwhine when at 600fps+ in menus in a few games. I have a 3080 Aorus Master (also a 4 slot card) that runs hotter and louder. Since I run my games mostly with a 120 fps cap, the 4090 in many games draws less power than the 3080, even when I run the 4090 with much higher settings and RT enabled at 4k.

I picked up a used PNY 4090 for $1400 (the seller used it shortly until he could get the MSI Suprim Liquid he wanted) and it came with a 1000w power supply that has the new 12VHWPR connector specifically for the 40 series cards. It may not be a top tier card according to this list but mine doesn't have hardly any coil whine and it does just fine for the price I paid. Also, I noticed stock it stays right around 2700 MHz using the stock Nvidia voltage setting of 1.050v which pulls right around 350w while gaming. What I did was used MSI Afterburner to undervolt and set my own custom voltage curve (ctrl+f with MSI Afterburner open) and now have it set to the same 2700 MHz but at a max 0.950v and it only pulls right around 250w while gaming. Runs cooler, quieter, more efficient and still gets the exact same performance as stock. I could flash a different vbios to it to allow a higher power limit but I don't really see a need to do so.

I can’t believe how cool the card runs stays in the high 50’s and topping out in the low 60’s most games. And it’s more power efficient than I expected it’s more efficient than my evga ftw3 3080ti in its oc bios the gpu i had before the 4090. I have it paired with a 5800x3d now did have a 5950x but switched to a 5800x3d when they got cheap. Just waiting to see the 7950x3d’s benchmarks, pretty sure thats what I’m getting but came very close to picking up a 13900k. Its so crazy the 4090 can be cpu bottlenecked at 4k in some games.

Are you loving the looks of the Gigabyte Gaming OC? I similarly had a 3090 FTW3 in my gaming build and lots of RGB bling. I assumed I'd pick up the Aorus Master 4090 this gen but I'm thinking of toning down everything going on in the case to focus on the 4090 as the centerpiece (i.e. still filling the case with RGB fans but getting a non RGB motherboard and subtle RGB on an AIO rather than a screen, no more Lian LI strimers, etc.) When I saw the Gigabyte Gaming OC with those RGB fans giving off a glow that can be seen through that huge heat sink I fell in love. A sort of subtle, sleeper looking card apart from it being massive and glowing with "power", lol. Still considering the Suprim X because it's still subtle enough and looks premium. But after having multiple MSI cards for mining they almost ALWAYS underperformed. Even my 3090 Ventus was the weakest of the bunch despite supposedly excellent cooling.

Wow. Very nice! Thank you. Completely shifted my mindset away from the MSI Gaming X Trio I was looking at to the Asus TUF. Yeah, it's a bit more, but I am one for playing around with OC'ing, as well as a stickler for noise, and the ASUS TUF stats looks pretty nice.

Thanks for the review. For the longest time I've been looking for reviews that look at the build/component quality of gpus/mobos to avoid paying a brand premium that isn't backed up by higher reliability/quality. Anyone can do an fps benchmark video, but reviews like this require good knowledge of electronics. Personally, I've wondered if the premium for Asus gpus/mobos is justified. From this review, it seems that maybe it is. I'm currently thinking about ASUS TUF B760 / Z790 and Strix 4070TI / TUF 4080.

Question for you, I'm trying to understand what are the differences between the PCB layouts of the available RTX 4090 products. In particular what I'm after are the mounting hole spacing and where the VRM components are positioned. I'm trying to evaluate the feasibility of putting a 4090 into a dual slot SFF case. There will be Noctua fans bolted onto the outside to effectively cool it, and with a bit of an undervolt the heat generation will be a non issue. The main problem is that all 4090's come with heatsinks that are too long, some of them may have suitable thickness where the heatsink fins extend to around the two slot thickness, but it's the length that means I will need to find a *compatible* card (e.g. 4070 or some 3000 series card) and do a heatsink swap.

Cool video! I still like my Inno3D X3 despite being “low tier”. My reasons: Zero coil whine and running very cool and quiet while being a rather compact 3-slot-design that fits a lot of cases. They may have cut a corner or to with the VRM but the cooler ist great.

4090 is a 4090. I think if anyone is looking for a 4090 if u dnt plan to oc your gpu then find a card that is close to msrp while users planning to get some marginal performance and cooling can fork out 200-300 more for more features and imo better quality usually with a metal frame or a lcd attached to the gpu

Recently got a PNY 4090 as well. Managed to find an new/open box on Offer Up for $1200. It runs quiet no whine or anything, and I wasn't planning on overclocking anyway it's a freaking 4090 it runs everything great without messing with it. But those upper tier cards do look nice I'm not gonna lie, I mean just aesthetically speaking. The PNY is kinda fugly and it doesn't match my color scheme at all but at that price I didn't care.

@guerrierim15 Жыл бұрын

This is a great guide. And as mentioned in the video, if you don’t care to overclock, then any of these cards will do as all perform within a percentage point of each other at stock settings. Overclocking and cooling performance is what you mainly pay for when looking at different models of the same gpu. That and potentially higher binning (silicon lottery) which can, if lucky, reward you with a more power efficient processor (always a nice thing :D).

Im pairing my card with a Ryzen 7 5800x3D and I can run pretty much run anything on 4K settings at 120 fps and 1440p settings on 240 fps. I manually did an overclock on mine so I can boost the clocks speeds a little higher than the OC edition , not worth paying more for the OC edition when I can manually overclock and get better clock speeds and save some money at the same time. ASUS is always up there with the best of the best which makes me happy.

TUF line is surprisingly good bang for buck (none really are when it comes to 4090 but still) I've been using a 3080 tuf for years (got it on release day) with 0 problems. For the 4090 the TUF and the MSI Suprim seem to be the best picks outside of maybe extreme overclocking.
