Guys how are you? I have 2 options here in Brazil to get the 3090 Can you help me choose one? Asus NVIDIA TUF RTX 3090, 24GB, GDDR6X - 90YV0FD1-M0NM00 EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, 24GB, GDDR6X - 24G-P5-3975-KR
I'm from Brazil too, where did you find the 3090? I'm not buying, just want to have an idea of the price. My kidneys will remain intact.
Right now I’m on a list for the msi gaming x trio and ASUS STRIX - I think and hope to get the STRIX tho.
Strix OC seems to be the best for now on par with the EVGA ones. I wouldn't consider any low tier card if you plan to spend that much money onto one GPU. Either buy the top tier 3080 or a top tier 3090. Either card will last for quite a while. Do not get budget 3090s - you'll regret it later.
If you are targeting 4K RT gaming @ 60 FPS, get the one you can afford and the game you want to experience it as. For those just getting a 3090 for epeen... I suggest to buy 2 shares of Nvidia or 10 shares of AMD stock and when it goes up, use the profit to get the best RT GPU at that time.
I personally feel like, if you are gonna spend that much money on a 3090, then you might aswell spend a bit more, and get the very best version... aka the strix OC. I tried to order the 3090 strix OC right at launch, but apparently danish visa cards only lets you buy for 25k dkk on foreign websites pr month, regardless of how much you got on your account, so my purchase was denied... tried to call the bank to get it sorted, but ofc their phone system was down, so couldnt get in contact with them till 3 hours after the launch, at which point all cards were gone, and i am waaaaay back in the preorder queue -_- I was fuming, like really facking furious...
That said gaming on a titan must feel special. Even if you know you dont need that much gpu power and insane amount of memory you want it. People driving a ferrari dont drive 200mph but its nice knowing you could if you want to.
