EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming, 24GB GDDR6X, 10496 CUDA Cores, 1800MHz Boost Clock, 3x Fans, ARGB LED, Metal Backplate, PCIe 4, HDMI, DisplayPort, Desktop Compatible

Great value for money. In great condition and looks essentially new. Installed and it worked immediately!

This was pulling too much juice even when idle. I was hitting 61c just looking at a web page. I tried a few driver installations and finally got the right magic that took the temps down toe 50+ but this is not a good spot to be in. I subsequently updated the bios and it added 4 degrees. I downloaded fancontrol (get this!) and was able to get idle temps about 46c. I'm not happy with what was required to achieve an acceptable temp.I purchased a different 3090 that doesn't give me the headaches that this one did and popped this one into a different, and new, PC. The PSU popped and the horrible odor made it apparent that something burned out. It was, in fact, the PSU. I worried that this took the mobo down with it but that was not the case. I can't say for certain that this product test drove the apparent bug inside the PSU but I ended up getting a different brand of PSU just in case and I returned this 3090, for which I got a prompt refund.I ended up buying a 4090 instead of replacing this as it was, which I'm very happy with, and put it into its intended target with a new PSU. Everything is working great and the mobo did not suffer.

Probably the Best Investment You Can Make Right NowI’ve been deep into AI for years now, and at a certain point, my home system became less of a tool and more of a bottleneck-shaped paperweight. The time for an upgrade was long overdue.As luck would have it, this realization coincided with NVIDIA’s launch of the 5000 series. Naturally, I looked at the 4090 and the mythical 5090—until I saw the price tags.A 5090 (Nvidia’s current flagship card) has an MSRP of $1999 (lol, as if you’ll ever see it for that). After spending hours navigating a labyrinth of price-gouging, out-of-stock listings, and enough scalper nonsense to make concert ticket resellers jealous, I had a thought:"What ELSE could I buy with this money?"The list was long. A down payment on a used car. Three months of mortgage payments. A solid vacation. Or—craziest thought of all—a GPU that doesn’t require a second mortgage.So I passed on the latest highway robbery and picked up a 5070 Ti instead, assuming it would be a reasonable middle ground. After all, NVIDIA won’t stop hyping up the 5000 series as the ultimate AI powerhouses.They conveniently forgot one minor detail:The software isn’t ready.If you enjoy spending hours patching together a half-broken Frankenstein installation of PyTorch and CUDA—only for it to implode the moment you update anything—go ahead, grab a 5000 series card.If you’d rather just get work done, the 3090 is a no-brainer.For years, the 3090 has been a proven workhorse. No hoops to jump through, no compatibility nightmares—just raw power. Sure, it’s not the latest and greatest, but it’s also not a $5000 paperweight.I was hesitant about spending over $1000 on a 3+ year-old GPU with last-gen architecture… until I installed it.This GPU cooks.I’ve thrown everything at it—simultaneous instances of Stable Diffusion (SDXL) and Kobold, two massive 8GB+ AI models running side by side—and the card didn’t even break a sweat.The real kicker? I never had to troubleshoot a thing. I quite literally just slotted it into my PCI-e slot, booted up, and got to work.Since then, I’ve seen it crank out 90+ FPS in a benchmark test while also running an AI instance. With no other programs running, it easily pushes 160+ FPS.It might not be the most power-efficient card anymore, and it doesn’t have NVIDIA’s latest marketing gimmicks—but:✅ It works.✅ It won’t melt its power connectors.✅ And you can buy it for less than three months of mortgage payments.Unless you have a burning desire to be an unpaid beta tester for the 5000 series software stack, do yourself a favor—get a 3090, save a ton of money, and actually get stuff done.

Man this renewed 3090 came in looking brand new, it was a great price and exactly what I was looking for for a powerful build with great performance, and amazing graphics. No Sacrifices. Seller was fast and no problems. Looking forward to sending this PC off to someone soon.

renewed evga 3090 FTW3 looked literally brand new, even still had the stickers on the fans.memory on the backside runs very hot, like 90c hot!this is a big card, like really this is a chonky boy, make sure your case can fit it. I needed a vertical GPU kit to fit this in a Lian Li 011D.The fans are LOUD at full rip. between the fan noise and hot temps of the backside VRAM i ended up watercooling it, and it runs fantastic.this is a screaming fast card, even in 2025. Not sure how it would do in 4K gaming, but in 2K / 1440p there's not many titles that can't be run in near highest settings. the extra memory on this card is well worth it, and goes to show how capable the 3xxx cards could be with more VRAM.great card, kinda loud, kinda hot, don't overpay for it.

The renewed card i bought would overheat and crash after 2 secs when any workload was started. It was most likely a used mining card that had bad thermal pads and paste.

I was a bit concerned buying used... I am now 100% confident in this seller. Everything on this productwas quality and attention to details. I built a render Rig for Blender and Solidworks. The 3090 doesn't even work hard. Such a powerful platform.

About 1 month in and all cylinders are firing. I purchased this card for an AI project and I was sweating before I got it. I heard some horror stories on here about these refurb cards being recycled cards from crypto rigs and abused. Certainly wasnt the case thus far, the card arrived very new "looking", couldnt find a grain of dust anywhere. The packaging was solid, although the original box serial does not match the card that came. The serial numbers are X out. But that seems to be common. I am running a 12 billion param LLM model on this guy and it barely breaks a sweat when you properly tune the model. Of the 24GB of vram, at model load it uses ~18gb with full stack riding the card, so plenty of headroom. Also the model I am running has a vision encoder, so you would think more opportunities for the card to run out of memory (OOM) when ingesting images, but nope, barely moves off that 18GB mark. When considering this or the newer RTX 5090 in the 24GB consumer class, I will take the extra $2k of savings and spend elsewhere, this card is a champ.
