A very rare and normally expensive Rog Strix 3090 OC Neon Genesis Evangelion edition, really decent price and a little more special than the normal ROG 3090 OC. Current price is really good for this particular model, Mwave has the best deal. I remember even a few months ago this particular card was around $2899 AUD.
shouldve priced it 6969
Unless you are an EVA fan. Better to get this ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 Ti ROG Strix LC 24GB Video Card for $1999 sold in various places.
Calling my Eva fans friend.
“normally expensive” lol it’s still pretty expensive to me :)
If you're spending $2k already on a high end card would you just spend the extra $1k and get double the performance with a 4090
But is it purple and green with an impressionist robot barely visible on it?
$1000 extra is quite a lot, and it's not the same. The 4090 really needs a new power supply which costs extra money. At $3000 you are only getting the basic models not the well built ones - at least that's what I'm seeing. That $1000 could be a brand new CPU and something else - a 13600K and maybe a motherboard and ram too.
It doesn't need a new power supply.
The 4080 also launches in 3 weeks, and beats this on price and performance, and hopefully will drop even further in price.
This is bad value given the state of the new and used market.
For me it seems okay, it's literally their best cooling design on a 3090 that's quiet, solid and performs well. You get the 24 GB of Vram and I doubt that there will be a title which won't run well on it for at least 4 - 5 years. Roomer is that the 4080 will be around 2.5k Australian and probably higher for the properly designed models more like 2.8 or 2.9k. It will drop in time for sure and it does have more performance but you need to also factor the new Smart PSU that it requires, the size, heat and noise. Keep in mind that 3090 runs at around 30 - 40 db. The 40 series mostly use industrial like fans. I think it's not a bad price for a brand new card (3090), but that's my 2 cents.
I think the 4000 series needs this right ATX 3 PSU, otherwise performance is capped - https://www.wepc.com/tips/atx-3-psu/
@Dynaverse: I don't see how it's the best 3090 design when it doesn't even have a vacuum chamber, just a basic contact plate.
Also, the Gainward 4090 is $2.8k, not sure how you think they'll be selling 4080s for more than that.
@Slurped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6FiGEAp928&ab_channel=JayzT…
Are you using an adaptor? Isn't it potentially dangerous?
@Dynaverse: I think both options can suit. I was going to grab the white version of the Asus this week for 2k, but my partner convinced me to hold out for the other 40 series drops and AMD. Remaining 30 stock should hopefully slide back, but honestly I don't think it would be a bad option to go for this card either - it is one of the best for the series by all accounts.
@Dynaverse: Easy to fix 99% of noise, power consumption and thermal issues on modern hardware:
Intel CPU: power limit in BIOS
AMD CPU: temp limit in BIOS
GPUs: run an optimiser tool, flatten the clock/voltage curve at the desired part of the tapering slope and set power and thermal limits to firmly cap
There's 30%-50% of your power budget back, and 10-30 degrees off your chips, with the only notable performance drops being in heavily multi-threaded workloads that push integer instructions or something else that is only bottlenecked today by clock speed.
Anyone trying to push a 4090 to 600W+ either needs a lesson in modern architectures, or has a very specific use case that derives excellent performance per watt compared to the next best alternative.
And if the application or game suffers? There's software to modify or revert these settings if you want to get more granular.
because the 4090 gets hot enough to melt connectors..
Does that happen under normal usage or only when stressing the card to it's peak while overclocked?
Genuinely curious, not trying to be sarcastic
@[Deactivated]: MLID is a horrific source of rumours, particularly NVIDIA ones.
With respect to connector issues the only public info we have is that some 12-pin convertors were garbage.
If you check out GN's look at the NVIDIA testing on the new 12VHPWR,
"NVIDIA found certain cable-routing conditions that led to excess heat and in some cases melting. The conditions required subjecting the cables to excess heat or severe bending, or a high number of connection cycles, around 40. Cables tested in these scenarios exhibited hotspots at roughly 2.5 hours and melting at 10-30 hours. Connectors from multiple suppliers have failed".

To me it seems unreasonable to create such a small pin configuration that physically connecting and disconnecting cables a few times can lead to fire. What was wrong with the size of the old cables?
As the owner of a 4090 I can confirm you don’t have a clue.
Should be a 3090ti at this price
There is that option Juiciness pointed out there is a water block one for that amount if you want a bit more power and don't mind that design.
$1999, haha….April fool price…$999 is more realistic.
1499 cheapest ive seen the 3090. maybe 3090TI even then why bother when you can spend more to future proof at that point.
They are not all built the same way, I could get a Zotac 3090 for $1200 bucks second hand, but it is not on the same. I literally returned one of these back to Scorptec a year ago because the Vram burned out the fan controls. The Rog Strix is their best design, it maintains heat well, it's quiet and very efficient. This is also the OC model so it's a bit better than a reference 3090 as far as performance. Again that's my 2 cents.
u can get the ti version for same price https://www.pccasegear.com/products/59878/asus-rog-strix-lc-…
Yep @Juiciness pointed it out in the above comments - that Ti card uses a 240mm radiator though. It's not everyone's cup of tea, certainly not mine as I have an air-cooling build.
I have an air cooled build too! The fans blow air through my mo-ra3 :D
I didn't want the hassle of the pump failing or the liquid drying out over time, lastly I don't want to fiddle with mounting it as everything is already setup and good to go in my case, looks great!
HODL
I've been holding since the voodoo graphics cards, there is always something better coming out
Magic people 3dfx voodoo people!
This costs more than my entire pc build
Ewwww
If you're building an Evangelion themed PC right now, and have all the other Evangelion themed parts sure go for it. But others should wait for the prices to come down even more when the 4080 is available for sale, wait for RDNA 3 or just buy a 3090 ti Strix LC for $1999.
$2000 for and old gen graphics card seems a bit too high at this point.
They will run out by the time they drop in price, all that's left after is second hand and inferior models.
At this price, you could buy a 4080, commission an artist to knock out a stencil or decal, then paint it yourself if you needed to, and probably pay no more than $150 extra even if 4080 pricing holds.
So it's still arguably a dumb reason to buy this GPU now, and GPU makers should be ashamed they don't sell custom shrouds separately to the GPU model.
i get it is EVA edition, but come on
shouldn't you just get a 4080?
This seems crazy expensive when you can get a similar performance 6900xt for half this.
And if you really must have the best, well now there is the 4090.
Who is paying $2k for a 3090 now?
You aren't buying this for the 3090, you are buying it for the design….
Not the first time things like this have come out, some are worth alot, to the right people…. me, I couldn't care less.
Sounds like you bought this monstrosity and are trying to justify its horrible pricing they have been around $1400-1600 atm this is terrible value
I've had my eye on this card for a few weeks now when it first popped up at $1899 and included Spiderman remastered.. About a week later the day the 4090 was released I believe it popped back up to its $2499 price before 2 days later dropped back down to the current $1999 eyeroll
Given the 4090 is about twice the performance, this card should be $1600, maybe $1650 for the distinctive and nice-looking Evangelion branding (if you're into the franchise and willing to pony up the extra $50 for branding/colouring).
A year ago $2000 would have been a bargain, now, not so much
Can't a 3800ti come close for under $1300, and these have been close to or under $1k at times : https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/nvidia/91…
What an eyesore design.
$2k for last gen product with no DLSS 3 support LMAO
lol this should be at $1400
Would you justify a 3090ti strix at this price?
Can get the 3090 TI with the radiator cooler for that price from mwave atm.
https://www.mwave.com.au/product/asus-geforce-rtx-3090-ti-ro…
Dunno what the neg was for. Can also be had on pccg as well for same price
Oooo time travel back to 2020.
Heres a build idea for this card
