NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 24GB GDDR6X
The only review mentions a shipping issue that was resolved quickly with a full refund, praising customer service. However, the user never received the GPU itself, so product performance is unrated. The Q&A section asks about warranty, cooling, performance comparison, power requirements, and dimensions, but no answers are provided.
Pros
- Responsive customer service
- Quick refund processing
Cons
- Shipping issue (lost package)
- Product not received
