Ampere Architecture and Performance
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 XC3 BLACK GAMING (24G-P5-3971-KR) leverages NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, featuring 10496 CUDA cores and a 1695 MHz boost clock. Its 24GB GDDR6X memory at 19.5 Gbps (936 GB/s bandwidth) delivers exceptional 8K (~60–90 FPS in *Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020* Ultra) and 4K (~100–120 FPS) gaming. It includes 2nd Gen Ray Tracing Cores, 3rd Gen Tensor Cores, DLSS, and NVENC for streaming. Users praise its 8K performance and content creation capabilities but note high power demands.
iCX3 Cooling and Design
The iCX3 cooling system with triple HDB fans and multiple thermal sensors keeps temperatures at ~65–75°C under load with moderate noise (~35–40 dB). The 2.2-slot design (285.4 x 111.2 x 44.5 mm) includes ARGB LED and a metal backplate, fitting mid-tower builds. Users commend its cooling efficiency but note it runs warmer than water-cooled variants; EVGA Precision X1 optimizes fan curves and ARGB. Good case airflow is essential.
Connectivity and Power Requirements
Supporting PCIe 4.0 x16, the card offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a for 4K/120Hz or 8K/60Hz displays. It requires a 750W PSU with two 8-pin PCIe connectors (350W TDP). Users value its connectivity and NVENC for streaming but caution about PSU quality and case space for heat management. Supports up to 4 monitors.
