Why Choose ASUS GPUs Over Other Brands?

[jenat]

Hey guys,

I'm building my first PC and I've heard a lot about ASUS GPUs. Why should I choose ASUS over other brands? What makes them stand out?

Cheers!

Anyone?

Do the benchmarks not explain it?  What about the aesthetics of the gpu itself?

[jenat]

have seen a lot of hate for user benchmarks, is techpowerup a reliable source, and what about 3dmark scores?

Techpowerup are certainly one of the more reliable sources, yes. Plenty of real game data in that review, I'm not a huge advocate of synthetic tests.

hi @jenat 

Check out Techpowerup's review of the RTX 4090 Strix. It does depend on what SKU, but thermals are a clear indicator here with only the liquid-cooled card climbing above the Strix.

Oh yes, this temperature graph is actually helpful. And exactly tells how good Asus is, but MSI is also performing nice, anyway. I have decided that I'd go with 4090, and techpower up's gpu review is comprehensive, and i also found a really nice tool for gpu comparison as well as I was confused if i should get 7900 rather than this. 

I still haven't bought, but the 50 series are about to be released soon, should i wait and carry on with my 3060, or get the 4090?
