The starting price for this card is at the current moment 1350,- on nvidia's US website. The price of this card is absolutely ridiculous now which 500 CHF more expensive than the MSRP. My advice is to not get it. Get another model or wait for prices to go down.
Price at the time of review: 1889.-

I am very satisfied with the performance of this card.
For the RGB synchronization with the motherboard to work, you have to install the ExperTool utility from Gainward and select the ARGB sync mode. I would have preferred that the card synchronizes its LEDs automatically if an RGB cable is connected.

I have the graphics card with a Ryzen 3900x and 32GB RAM in operation.
The RTX 3090 has replaced the 1080 ti.
I simply exchanged the graphics cards and read the sensors with GPU-Z.
Unfortunately, I found that the graphics card was much too hot and had installed additional case fans.
PC restarted and the temperatures were better so I started Borderlands 3 and saw if it works.
Unfortunately, the PC has turned off so I ordered a new power supply (old had only 600W).
So in the next round game started again and about 30 min later the game is involuntarily terminated again.(Tried several times but always the same result)
I then ordered another case (Bequiet! Pure Base 500 DX).
The whole PC hardware now transplanted into the new case and no more problems.
in short:
-power supply must be sufficiently dimensioned (Enermax MaxTytan 1250W)
-case must have good airflow(fans should move enough air)
-Result the graphics card stays cool and reasonably quiet
