NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Founders Edition Graphics Card (Renewed)

Works perfectly. Good refurb.

It arrived in good condition.

I experienced random system and application crashes immediately after building a new PC with this graphics card. Unfortunately, I was out of Amazon's return period when I figured out the problem was the graphics card and the company that sold the card is unwilling to exchange or refund the card.

Working great for an internal Ai system build. Some light dust build-up on some of the cooling fins which indicates it was run for more than a few minutes. Guessing you would have to run it for at least a month to get that much buildup. Otherwise in good condition and passed 48 hours of burn-in using the Linux based gpu_burn software.

Overall my experience is very positive so far. The GPU is up and running, operating very smoothly at 28C on idle and 65C under a one hour long gpu burn test at full 348W. There are some small nits: (1) the mount bracket came slightly bent (see the image) and (2) one connector pin got partially stripped, but none of that affects how it works. I'll keep running stress test for another 24 hours, hopefully it goes ok!

Nothing to complain about! The moment I installed the GPU I instantly ran tests to see the health/stability and it passed with flying colors! The GPU also looks brand new, other than the normal wear on the pins you wouldn't even tell it was used!

This is my rant/review, I see a lot of comments complaining. About packaging, had to send it back etc. It’s a refurbished product just as any product it can fail. Also, did you make sure your system is properly equipped to handle this beast? Onto the review, Performance= 5, Gaming capability, it runs Crysis 3 Ultra Settings (If you know, you know.) Cyberpunk 2077, Hell Divers 2, Red Dead, Indiana Jones. This GPU handles it all! I benched my card for 12 hours straight. No loop-loopys, skippy dips or fraggle rocks. 5/5

Card came "renewed". The connector had one side of all the pcie pins almost worn through, it looks like it was inserted and removed from a pcie slot many times. The fan and the heatsink on the front of the board were loose with a couple mm of give. Inserting it into my motherboard and starting the pc made the 2 digit LED hexadecimal panel on the MB glitch out and looked like it was having a seizure. After 30 minutes and no boot I push reset on the mother board, rinse lather repeat 5 times, no joy. Swapped between 5 of 6 available pcie slots, one is too short due memory being in the way. Still no joy. By the way it was packed really well, big ole stress transfer paper ... i.e. bubble wrap.
