ASUS Prepares to Launch Its Flagship Liquid-Cooled ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 GPU on September 19

For that price, you could build a custom loop just for the GPU - and have far better / quieter results. With a decent copper 360 (as opposed to what surely must be aluminum for this ASUS card), you'd have to run an XOC BIOS with 1000W+ power draw to make it sweat.
 
Isn't it a bit late in the game for a new flagship, now that rumors on the 5090 are already starting to pop up?
 
Well, hopefully, someone credible out there gets a review sample and tests overclocking as well. The price is still insane but the boost clock of 2.7 GHz is impressive and if it can be OCd further to ~3 GHz then wow. Still not worth the price but I'd expect significant performance gains, but it would probably have a major TDP increase as well.

Perf / watt falls off a cliff at >400W - which is why this product makes little sense, unless it was priced competitively, i.e. US$1800 maybe.

If the AIO was hooked up via G 1/4 ports, the value might be there - you know the AIO is the cheapest part of the BOM here. Then at least it would have some potential for XOC.


I do also feel I'm being a little hard on this guy. Generally you want a case that has a front intake and a side intake for running dual AIOs, so that both AIOs are taking in cool air, and you're not putting an AIO rad on the bottom of the case which would put the pump in a bad position.

Still, if you know that going in and plan accordingly, you can get the best performance you're going to get out of a 4090 without building a custom loop, and there's value there too.

Isn't the 5090 estimated for Q4 2025? 2 years is a decent amount of time for new product.

Sure it is... but considering I could build a decent 4090 GPU'd SYSTEM for the price of this 4090 GPU....

To be fair, that's the price of the charity auction, not necessarily the expected street price...

Ok... I'll bite. If they say they are auctioning off a card worth 3200 dollars as stated... can the retail MSRP be less than that?

Seems they've scrubbed all pricing references from their posts - so perhaps I was jumping to conclusions there..

Though, they could also be valuing Jensen's autograph...

I think their post got so much bad press around price that they had to pull it and reassess the market. But time will tell.

I think peak price for a product like this would be low 2000's And I wouldn't even pay that.
 
Regardless of price, I'm pretty sure it'll end up like any high-demand at-launch item -scalped. If put in the 1700-2300 the scalpers will grab them and post 3K - 4K.
 
Agreed. I kind of feel this is the kind of thing that will attract the sharks, that is unless most of the big ones went under when they had to recoup from the last round of launches nobody bought from them.
