A week after the RTX 6090 went on sale, the ground reality is taking shape. Stock is extremely limited, retailers are pricing 30–40% above MSRP, and user reports are accumulating on forums.
What Early Owners Say
On Reddit and specialist forums, early reports point to VRAM temperatures reaching 92°C under sustained load with Founders Edition cards. AIB partners (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte) with their own cooling solutions perform significantly better.
- Founders Edition GPU temp: 84°C under load, VRAM: 92°C (acceptable limit)
- AIB cards: 10–12°C cooler on average
- Overclocking: limited potential due to high Founders Edition temperatures
- Stock: estimated 30,000 units in Europe at launch
Our advice: if you're buying a RTX 6090, go for an AIB version with triple-fan cooling. The Founders Edition is not recommended in a case with limited airflow.
