Why change a winning design? Though not offering the on-paper value of its RTX 3080 sibling, the £1,500 RTX 3090 remains king of the performance hill, providing 10-15 percent more performance that's most keenly felt at the 4K resolution.

Every board partner building RTX 30-series cards has multiple versions of each model in its arsenal. Asus is certainly no different and populates the monster GPUs with TUF Gaming (OC) and ROG Strix versions. We took a close look at the RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC in a previous review, which is handy as the RTX 3090 TUF Gaming OC is on the testbench today.
