I'm planning to buy an RTX 5090 and I've found several options available in Brazil. My budget isn't a concern, but I want to make sure I'm not overpaying for a card that's pricier but no better than a cheaper alternative. Here are the models available:
- RTX 5090 GAMING OC from GIGABYTE for R$ 21,999.99 ($3650 USD)
- RTX 5090 WINDFORCE OC from GIGABYTE for R$ 23,599.99 ($3900 USD)
- RTX 5090 GameRock from Palit for R$ 19,999.90 ($3350 USD)
- RTX 5090 GameRock OC from Palit for R$ 22,999.99 ($3900 USD)
- RTX 5090 Gaming Trio MSI OC for R$ 23,999.99 ($4000 USD)
- RTX 5090 32G VANGUARD SOC from MSI for R$ 25,999.99 ($4350 USD)
- RTX 5090 X3 from INNO3D for R$ 19,999.99 ($3350 USD)
- RTX 5090 OC ASUS TUF for R$ 20,999.90 ($3500 USD)
- RTX 5090 OC ASUS ROG ASTRAL for R$ 24,599.90 ($4100 USD)
I currently have an MSI motherboard and I've heard that using the same brand for the GPU might improve stability and performance, but I'm not sure. I'm particularly interested in the Gaming Trio MSI OC and the GAMING OC GIGABYTE since I can get a discount on the latter, making it R$ 21,000 instead of R$ 22,000. I've never used GIGABYTE products before, so I'm looking for advice on the best option, especially regarding stability, power consumption, cable connectors, and overall build quality.

Honestly, if you want the best value, I'd say go with the RTX 5090 GameRock from Palit. It’s the cheapest and still offers great performance. Save that money for something else!
Yeah, prices these days are ridiculous! If you're really into stability and overclocking, you might want to stick with MSI, especially since you're already using their motherboard. The Gaming Trio MSI OC could be a solid choice for you!
Thanks for the advice! I'm leaning towards the MSI since I’m familiar with their app for overclocking.
