Question Most reliable RTX 4090 version?

I don't think that any one brand is better than any other in that respect. Just get whatever is least expensive and/or most available.

I agree.

For me it came down to aesthetics... I went with the Gigabyte Aero because it was white.

Reminds me of Sparkle GeForce cards from back in the day. They were also white:

Sparkle disappeared from video cards for at least 15 years but just came roaring back with Intel Arc:

To say that it was unexpected would be a massive understatement.

Kinda makes me wonder what other dead brand-names will come back...

Diamond?

Albatron?

Maybe HIS?

It's too bad that BFG will never return. Their cards looked pretty awesome:

I have a BFG Geforce GTX 285, though I think the art on mine is different, have to check later. "Lifetime Warranty" sure has paid off...I guess it still works, so I can't complain on that front.
 
Yeah, I think there was some miscommunication at some point.

600W power connector, better make sure it can handle that much, and they all went way overboard and then Nvidia locked the BIOS down pretty hard.
