What Buyers Say
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 WINDFORCE 24GB GDDR6X
25 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews
Most reviewers are highly critical of this GPU, mainly due to its exorbitant price far above MSRP, widespread scalping practices, and questionable build quality including inadequate thermal pads. A minority acknowledge the raw performance is excellent for gaming at 4K ultra settings, but nearly all agree the cost is unjustifiable. There are also serious concerns about receiving used or mislabeled units sold as new.
Pros
- Excellent raw performance for 4K gaming
- Smooth ultra settings with ray tracing
Cons
- Price far above MSRP due to scalping
- Inadequate thermal pads from factory
- Missing or mislabeled hardware (GPU swap risk)
- Used units sold as new
- Loud fan noise under load
