the EVGA factory seals were still intact. again almost like someone tried to open the shipping Box & retail package. I do not believe this damage was from the automated convener system UPS uses. The inner retail "heavy box" inside the retail package was not damaged at All ? This does not equate to the destroyed shipping box. torn where it looks like someone tried to open? & 1 corner of the box had a Small dent. The EVGA thin "retail box" (with the Pictures of GPU) only had minimal damage. looks like someone might have tried to remove the contents ?. the outer shipping box was heavily damaged -> crushed & corners seams torn open in several places. What in the World happened to that box, was my first thought.

did someone try to open this box ? It was destroyed! Crushed! Torn Open in Spots! I made the UPS driver wait while I inspected my package contents - Box was destroyed & partially re-taped in few spots. Package was not shipped for 2 day delivery - Amazon choose to ship ground 5 days? no idea why with a Prime account.

This is an Open bench test & has been running like this for Over 12 hours. GPU die Max 60C 2040 MHz with a small OC setting in EVGA X1 software. & not a tiny case &your case fans need to be moving plenty of air Room Temp 68F. that is the price of a more powerful GPU. Yes 30 series GPUs run warmer than previous designs. I highly recommend using a UPS power supply, you do not want any interruptions during the update. You just need to wait for it to complete.
12G P5 3967 KR UPDATE
The EVGA X1 software ver 1.2.6 which was already installed on this PC - recognized the new GPU & advised an update to the firmware. My Nvidia driver was already new enough to see this card in my X570 build. The 3090 might have up to a 5% performance edge but, boy do you p ay a lot more (~50%) for that tiny bump in performance No issues, plug & play, used HDMI cable.

Hot spots and mem temps maxing around 54c (I have two low flow 120s set up to blow directly on this card so the fans never even have to kick on) My reason for purchasing this card and not a lower tier card for playing at these settings can be summed up by the following analogy: I'd rather buy a Ferrari and cruise around in it at 70mph, knowing that if push comes to shove I can drive it at 140 every once in a while just for fun, than buy a Prius that I'm red-lining just to get where I'm going on time, worrying that any day it will crap out on me.

People say that these cards pull a lot of power and run hot, but at these settings, in brief stress tests I'm seeing 60c on the hotspots/mem with the power ceiling hitting the 65% 288w max pulled In everyday long gaming utilization I see it top out around 190w at these settings. 775 volts and have capped my power limit 65% of max. I have a custom curve set in MSI afterburner to limit my clock speek to 1710 mhz. "But isn't this overkill for those settings?" Absolutely! I bought this card so that I could undervolt and underclock it.

My happy gaming spot is ultra graphics, 1080p 60hz (Fps) if I can game at these settings and not see a single dip in my frames, I'm a happy camper. Let me start off by saying, in this day and age, I'm not looking to game on the bleeding edge of graphics. I have my build in a Coolermaster HAF XB EVO and in order to fit this card, I had to move my fans t o the outside of my case, leaving only the 240mm radiator inside. The 1080 Ti is still a beast of a card make no mistakes, but I couldn't pass this up at this price. So I hesitantly pulled the trigger on this card $1089.99 coming from a 1080 Ti.
