I picked up one of the MSI Ventus 3X OC versions of the card from the MSI store on release day.
Yes, I'm aware it's overpriced and should probably be sold for $900 or so. However it checks a few boxes for me.
This card is the same length as my older Gigabyte 3080, which it handily outperforms. The size is handy given a Meshify C really can't accommodate most 4090's. It does come with a support brace, and it takes up three slots, so you may want to consider that if you need a lot of extra cards in your system.
The card also plays nice with my 850w PSU so I don't have to spend even more money on multiple components just so I can play Cyberpunk at 4K at 60fps (with DLSS on Quality) with the effects cranked. So I consider that a nice bonus.
So far it's performed quite well. It took a modest overclock, and can push most games at 4K with ray tracing quite well. The cooler keeps temps down to around the 70 degree range under heavier loads, but well within that boost range. Power consumption is really nice especially compared to the 4090 or the 3090TI.
The GPU market's in a weird space right now. This thing effectively costs the same as a 3090ti, and it beats that up in terms of performance and power consumption. It's a nice piece of hardware overall. Hopefully things will settle down and the card will start selling for a saner price. Right now, it's more an advertisement for AMD's 7900XTX which will likely offer superior rasterization performance for $200 less.
