Are you planning to watercool your 5090?

It’s very possible that the majority of PC gamers, install a game and simply play it. They won’t even change their default graphic settings. And they don’t even care. I was the one to teach my own son. But I remember when he’d install a brand-new game. He couldn’t care less about his graphics, or his frame rate. He would just be so excited to play the game that it didn’t matter. The 9060XT 8GB is the “On/Off Switch for PC gamers” Option A: No graphics card, (Cannot play games at all) Option B: I have a 9060XT, I can actually play games now. 🙂 They wanna force an upgrade out of em down the road too! 😂

Oh my goodness!

Why does it look so bad? For some reason when I zoom in, it looks like a 8 year old spray painted this thing.

How are you cooling the card?

If you swap from a glass panel to a mesh panel this is what happens. Sound travels with the air. Every 5090 has some level coil whine. That’s just what it is. Astrals, FE’s, the list goes on.

If the 5080FE wasn’t power limited it would help its case for sure. I have no problem taking on “Non flashed/Non shunted” 5090 Astrals with my 5090FE in Steel Nomad or other benches. But it is unfortunate for the 5080FE. Still a good card for $999 for FE. But, that 360w VS. 450w is a clear 25% less TGP disadvantage. Another thing about the 5080 that sucks, is how the die is laid out it has (4) shunts. So you would have to solder on (4) shunts to power mod it 😂

@electrosoft I don’t think he is big on flashing otherwise he’d be running that Giga Chad bios on his Astral from Gigabyte, and he’s on stock Astral bios. He just likes dog’n on the ole FE. 🤣

I’ve had great luck with them. Like many others. My 2080Ti FE was 2080Ti HOF fast. Me personally, I don’t care what it is so long as you can make it fast, a GPU is a GPU. Many golden 4090’s were in the form of FE. motivman had a crazy good 4090FE. That thing absolutely ripped. I’m all for cheap+fast. But I don’t overthink the stock form it comes in. But I understand that some people may not modify their own cars, they may want that high HP right out of the box. You gotta take a solder iron to any of them this generation. Unless you’re Linus lol.

Well, not quite but I get what you mean. My 5090FE was $1,999. But not sure if any one else on here got one for that much. 😕 It was really a select few. The market is crazy. I think that Doom inspired 5080 is really cool though, and if someone did not own a 5080/5090 already. I can see my self buying that for $1,899.99 with the T-Shirt. It comes with a few other goodies too. PS: Bethesda Gear store has a 10% off promotion code for first time orders. So, $1,709 (Still terrible for a 5080, but it’s a really cool 5080 at least!) This brings back nostalgia for me mainly. Because my first Nvidia graphics card was a eVGA Doom 6600GT. And I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was 14 years old and you wouldn’t believe what I did. I removed that tiny dinky cooler, bought me some Artic Silver 5, and a massive CPU heatsink, and I zip tied it to the 6600GT. I was running 3Dmark01SE and 3Dmark03 and whooping all the other 6600GT’s 🤣 I loved my Doom edition 6600GT. This is when it all started for me. I think the Astral is pretty cool already, and a Doom theme Astral is even better! The only thing I dont like is the 16GB GDDR7, but still, if I didn’t own a 5090 ready, I’d get that. foto vinden op internet

Yep, recording with Shadow Play is at least a 5% loss in frame rate for me. I did hear someone say the latest drive also improves performance by 2%. I was using the older driver. Too graphically demanding for a Doom game though. 🤣

It’s a crusher on native 4K! My 4090 Laptop will probably run it good, but it’s 2560x1600P, and Frame Gen will be its savior. But I think something like a RTX 3090 would really struggle. Frame Gen is excellent feature.

That’s excellent! I almost bought a copy from another guy who received a free copy as well. But then I discovered it’s free for Game Pass users, This new Doom game well, It’s not the typical Doom which are usually “Amazingly optimized on Vulkan” game, prior Doom mentality is = (run it maxed out on any GPU ya got) lol. 4K native pushes the 5090 ridiculously hard and actually uses it! Makes no sense though. Of course, DLSS+Frame Gen make it run really really easy. But, I don’t understand why they did this. It should not be this hard to run.. My 5090FE smacks it down hard, especially when I’m not recording gameplay, but not everyone has a 5090 lol. This game would whoop something like a RTX 5080 during 4K Native 🫠

DOOM Dark Ages is very fun! It is on Game Pass for free with subscription!

I am clapped out at 3420Mhz! @jaybee83 I don't think all the 5090's are going over 3,400. But to run even your 3,240Mhz in game is going to require a shunt mod, waterblock, and great custom cooling. You can get the EV2 and adjust voltage if you need to go up a some more in voltage as well. But, I would shunt mod and waterblock that card for maximum performance. Looks great to me! Very high clocks, they will be even higher in your Hwinfo effective by the way. You should be able to get some good results in Steel Nomad. Time to see what this thing can do on the dyno meter! I might survey the overclock.net guys see what they are getting as well for max overclock.
