Configuració
1. Requisits del sistema
Abans de la instal·lació, assegureu-vos que el sistema compleixi els requisits mínims següents:
- Placa base compatible amb PCI Express amb una ranura per a gràfics x16.
- Minimum 750W power supply with three available 8-pin PCIe power connectors. A 1200W PSU or higher is recommended for optimal performance and stability, especially under heavy load.
- Sufficient space within your PC case for a triple-slot graphics card (dimensions: 15.1 x 12 x 5 inches). Consider a GPU support bracket due to the card's weight (approximately 4.65 pounds).
- Operating system: Windows 10 64-bit or later.
2. Instal·lació física
- Prepareu el vostre sistema: Apagueu l'ordinador i desconnecteu tots els cables. Obriu la carcassa del PC.
- Localitza la ranura PCIe: Identifica una ranura PCI Express x16 disponible a la placa base.
- Install the card: Alineeu amb cura la targeta gràfica amb la ranura PCIe i premeu fermament fins que quedi ben col·locada. Assegureu-vos que el clip de retenció quedi encaixat al seu lloc.
- Assegura la targeta: Use screws to fasten the graphics card to the PC case at the rear I/O panel.
- Connecteu l'alimentació: Connect three 8-pin PCIe power cables from your power supply to the corresponding ports on the graphics card. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Install support bracket (recommended): Due to the card's size and weight, installing a GPU support bracket is highly recommended to prevent sag and potential damage to the PCIe slot.

3. Instal·lació de controladors i programari
- Encès: Close your PC case, reconnect all cables, and power on your computer.
- Install NVIDIA drivers: Download the latest NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the RTX 3090 from the official NVIDIA website. Follow the on-screen instructions for a clean installation.
- Install EVGA Precision X1: Download and install EVGA Precision X1 software from the official EVGA website. This utility allows for monitoring, overclocking, and customizing the ARGB lighting and fan curves of your graphics card.
En funcionament
Once installed and drivers are updated, your EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming graphics card is ready for use. It will automatically handle graphics processing for your applications and games.
ARGB LED Customization
The graphics card features adjustable ARGB LED lighting. You can customize the lighting effects, colors, and patterns using the EVGA Precision X1 software. This allows you to synchronize the card's lighting with other ARGB components in your system.

Manteniment
1. Neteja
Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and longevity. Periodically, with the system powered off and unplugged:
- Use compressed air to remove dust from the fans, heatsink fins, and other components of the graphics card.
- Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
2. Fan Curve Adjustment
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming features advanced cooling. However, for users seeking to optimize thermal performance or reduce noise, adjusting the fan curve is recommended. The default fan curve may allow temperatures to reach up to 90°C before maximum fan speeds are engaged. Using EVGA Precision X1, you can create a more aggressive fan curve to maintain lower operating temperatures (e.g., mid-70s °C) under load, which can contribute to better long-term stability and performance.
3. Gestió tèrmica
Ensure adequate airflow within your PC case. Proper case ventilation, including intake and exhaust fans, is crucial for dissipating heat generated by high-performance components like the RTX 3090. Insufficient airflow can lead to higher operating temperatures for the GPU and its memory modules, potentially affecting performance and lifespan.
Resolució de problemes
Si teniu problemes amb la targeta gràfica, tingueu en compte els passos següents per resoldre'ls:
- Sense pantalla/Pantalla negra:
- Assegureu-vos que la targeta gràfica estigui completament col·locada a la ranura PCIe.
- Verify that all three 8-pin PCIe power connectors are securely attached to the card and the power supply.
- Check that your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card's output ports, not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports.
- Si és possible, prova amb un cable de pantalla o monitor diferent.
- Inestabilitat/Avaries del sistema:
- Assegureu-vos que la vostra font d'alimentació (PSU) compleixi amb els requisits d'aigua recomanatstage (minimum 750W, 1200W or higher recommended for stability under load). Insufficient power can cause instability.
- Update your graphics drivers to the latest version. Perform a clean installation if issues persist.
- Monitor GPU temperatures using EVGA Precision X1 or similar software. High temperatures can lead to throttling or crashes. Improve case airflow if temperatures are consistently high.
- Fan Noise/Overheating:
- Netegeu la pols dels ventiladors i del dissipador de calor.
- Adjust the fan curve in EVGA Precision X1 for more aggressive cooling.
- Ensure proper case airflow. Consider adding or repositioning case fans.
- Note that the card can generate significant heat under load, and effective case cooling is essential.
- ARGB LED Issues:
- Ensure EVGA Precision X1 software is installed and running.
- Check for software updates for EVGA Precision X1.
