The size is fucking ridiculousManaged to score a Gigabyte RTX 4090. Totally lucky timing.
I found two for sale, but by the time I checked out, they were both sold and my order was cancelled.
Then, about 2 min later, one came back as available. Maybe someone cancelled their order?
I managed to get though the checkout process fast enough and it went through.
Got the card a week later. I guess I should feel lucky since these things are now going for $2,400 on the low end for a shitty Zotac, all the way up to almost $5K for something decent.
The card is fucking huge and I had trouble getting it into my giant, full size gaming tower case.
It came with an adjustable support bar that you must put on one end to prevent the card from sagging.
The thing is basically one giant heat sink and is probably almost twice the size of my old 1080 GTX card.
The placement of the power connector with the fanout power cable prevents me from putting the side cover back on my case since it would bend / stress the connection too much. I'll need to wait for someone to make an elbow connector before I can seal up the case again. Not a great design.
I tested it out with the game Control with all the graphics settings cranked up, but only at 1080p.
It ran perfectly smooth at 144 FPS to match my monitor's refresh rate.
It was showing 100% GPU utilization, which seemed odd at first, but on closer inspection, it was running at less than half its maximum clock speed and only drawing 34 watts at a temp of 44C max. Basically, the game Control with all the settings cranked didn't even phase it. For comparison, on my old 1080 GTX, it would be running at only about 80 FPS with NO raytracing and at 72C.
It really needs a 4K monitor, which I will probably get since I now have a graphics card that makes it worth getting.

You should look at how thick they are. Most of them are 3 to 3.5 slot width MINIMUM. Let along length. Even the founders edition is huge.The size is fucking ridiculous
3090 is not far off. 3090 vs 3080 in size is very same david and goliath.You should look at how thick they are. Most of them are 3 to 3.5 slot width MINIMUM. Let along length. Even the founders edition is huge.
Here's a 3080 vs 4090.
