I have hit 84,000 graphics score with the old Xeon 3175X! The RTX5090 is completely stock. 100% PL, auto fan. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 video card benchmark result - Intel Xeon W-3175X Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG DOMINUS EXTREME

The motherboard is probably going to be diminishing return item for sure. But of course it’s still awesome. You probably already have peak performance though. Your build is about like what I did. I stepped way back from the XOC extreme master mega cooler power builds lol. I got my fill of it. I wanted a nice quiet reliable rig that was stable and just worked. If I ever want to go back, I have my test bench and chiller waiting. I’m definitely happy with my upcoming home electricity bill a whopping $158 dollars for an entire month. 🤯 Anyways, I really like my recent build, and I’m glad I finally found a case that works for me. But I will say be careful. $2,500 can go quick on these little PC parts. Oh my goodness. My build turned in to a money pit real quick ordering little bits here and there. If I could have had a larger budget, I would have gone full insano with it LOL. But, I’m going to keep adding to it slowly. Also, let me know how those German Watercool radiators perform. Which ones did you get?

What did you do to the 285K to make it score so much better?

Okay, I hit 74k graphics. Still not great, lots left in the 5090 potential wise. I guess all of the remaining score is left over in GT1 test. I’ve just left the 5090 stock since I’m not even tapping its potential in. I got 74K graphics score seems topped out there. That’s what my 14900KS/4090 combo did as well. https://www.3dmark.com/fs/33212212

I am coming for you on the graphics score!!! LOL jk. I had to kick my grandpa of a CPU in the rear and get it going just a bit. And blew the dust off just a bit. Honestly, I just did Shift+L in MSI AB and this helped A LOT! Now, I am going to OC the graphics card and see if I can improve a little more. This run is completely stock GPU. Auto fan, 100% PL, 0% voltage. And about 2,600+ boost range. This CPU is trash in Firestrike though. 🤣 Pretty sure my 4090 got like 75k in Firestrike Graphics score with a different CPU. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 video card benchmark result - Intel Xeon W-3175X Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ROG DOMINUS EXTREME I can hit the FPS in GT2 comparable to 9800X3D in top 100. But, in GT1? LOL. Maybe only 1/4 or 1/5 the same FPS as a 9800X3D. It makes no sense. 🤔

Coincidentally just enough for a 5090! LOL 🤩

The thing cooks on system ram bandwidth and latency at least. 🙂

Im going to give it a try. In real world gaming I swear I don’t have this issue. The thing really rips and impresses me for how old it is. Also, I just updated my bios this morning I went from 0408 to 0901 and I retained the old ME. So my Cinebench scores are good, but the bios is new from 2025 instead of 2018. So far so good!

Yes this is a mess!

My score is terrible. I get good performance in Fire strike GT2. But I cannot get any GPU usage to go up on GT1. Same thing with the physics test. It only uses like 30% of my CPU. And the combined test is even worse. I want to figure out why the benchmark runs so terribly. Makes no sense how GT1= 130fps@30% GPU Usage, and GT2= is over 370fps@100% GPU Usage.

This would probably cost $700+ range for one on eBay from the re-sellers. But there are PCB shops that can custom make PCB's. You send them what you have, they scan it and then they make you a replica. Would probably be cheaper to go that route since it is such a small part. I was wondering if you could run Firestrike and Solar bay benchmark and share your results. I'm curious what the 9800X3D or 14900KS are performing like here. @Papusan and @win32asmguy and @jaybee83 and @Talon You all have 5090's as well. If you all want to share some CPU limited 3Dmark benchmarks would be helpful.

We can repair FE models too which is kinda cool! I think a lot of 4090’s ended up with a micro crack or broken PCB/PCIe. Just grab a 5070fe and throw the PCIe on your 5090 if it breaks. In the instance someone tried to use your GPU as a step. 🤣

The 5090 definitely isn’t worth it unless it’s $1,999.99. Because you could essentially cover almost that whole cost with a 4090 sale if given the opportunity at a 5090. I was gonna keep my 4090 and be happy. And I was 100% content after I understood that I literally could not get a 5090, and I eventually got over it. Then I was going to finish my build with the 4090 Gaming OC and be happy. The 4090 is already insanely fast, so I was good with that. I think it’s not worth it at these AIB prices. I agree with the MSRP or nothing statement. Whats even worse is that technically the 4090 and 5090 are both a rip off with today’s new adjusted prices.

5090 was supposed to be 25% more expensive than 4090, but its definitely averaging 50% faster for me than my 4090. It’s a really good improvement! Sometimes more than that. Sometimes it’s abnormally large jump. Especially VR or MSFS. I think it’s just that the 4090 is already brutally fast and very expensive. So it’s not required to upgrade. 4090 has Frame Gen already and 24GB vram. So it’s good enough to hang on to.

VULC will probably still want it. GPU’s are like 3-5K there. For a 4090 or 5090. So I’m sure even if shipping is $200 it’s probably still a bargain lol. Than Nguyen already has a 5080, he wants to sell it and go back to a 4090. He says “5080 sucks 4090 is far superior” 😂

Yeah, It gets the job done well enough though, I’m definitely losing some performance that other CPU’s would provide. I can still knock that 240fps at 4K in CB2077 full maxed out with multi frame Gen just like everyone else though. When I swap platforms, I’ll be moving to 240hz OLED as well. 5090 has outgrown 120hz 4k, and my 250hz laptop is insanely smooth. NEW COLOR!!! Blue is much better than the egg plant before.

So for 4K, the games I play it’s primarily a GPU limit and does well! Star Wars Outlaws, KDC2, CB2077, Indiana Jones, Ark Ascended. Tarkov which I just started playing that has really shown me just how weak my CPU is. The game uses like 3 or 4 cores lol.😂 But yeah I’m getting bored with the platform. I’ve had it over 6 months. I plan to swap it out in a bit. It has been very reliable for my work apps though. And for some reason it has always done better for work than something like my previous 13900/14900 setups. I am considering 9900X3D/9950X3D or testing out an Intel 285K (I feel like I could whip that 285K in top shape). If I ran either I’d want 2x48GB ram. I’m not really after super fast ram anymore, I could care less if it’s 2 dimm or 4 dimm board. Lately I’m more in to boards with lots of I/O and features. Godlike/Extreme etc. For now current setup gets it done though. You may want to hang on to it, the market right now is pure insane. Pricing is worse since launch. I’m also thinking about trying an Intel 285K. I feel like this would be a good CPU. Not sure if I’m ready to move to AMD yet. The idea of something lower power usage is nice.

I know the Nvidia VPA was running heavy from late February and in to March. It seemed like they were picking 4090 owners, then out of no where they started sending buy links to 3080 owners apparently per Reddit polls lol. I think there might be a low stock on 5090FE or maybe Nvidia is selling all the 5090 pallets to China or companies at over retail cost lol. $1,999.99 seems like a freaking bargain compared to $3,599.99. These AIB MSRP’s are getting insane. I mean, for a PNY? 🤣 That’s usually bought because it’s in-stock and a little less expensive. @win32asmguy I’m running a Xeon w3175X and Dominus Extreme, which is old as the hill. But it gets the job done surprisingly. Running PCIe Gen 3 x16, I have no ReBar at all and Skylake architecture. It’s really an old CPU. It is overclocked to the absolute max on ambient water 4.7Ghz on all cores HT on, 3.3Ghz mesh, and DDR4 3800cl14 50ns latency. It’s typically always pushing the 5090 in 4K. I admit that overclocking my GPU is pointless most of the time, and some games like Tarkov really are all about the CPU. But this thing rips. I can run monster hunter and Cb2077 benches and compete similar to other modern rigs in 4K. Even Unigine Haven throws down! 😃 I’m impressed with the old pig. It could be since your system is dual CCD and OCTO channel and there’s a latency hit. But the IPC on your rig is definitely there!

What is everyone’s idle power consumption with their 5090’s? (All windows closed out except for GPUz sensors page opened) I’m seeing 12 TO 21 watts range steady so far. Seems really good to me.

Dang it’s a Suprim too right? Lucky! MSI has joined the ranks of glamorous price tags here in the US. Their laptops and GPU’s.

Are you running a 5090 as well? Actually I think you got a TUF OC maybe. I’m on an Escape from Tarkov kick lately, and the 5090 is a bit overkill here, but I bought the game for me and my son to play together. Everytime we kill someone in the game they’ll see: You were killed by “Luv-My-5090” or if my son takes them out, they’ll see: You were killed by “Luv-My-3090” 😂 Anyways, I can only image the Astral gives that extra added Cadillac experience for sure. It better! 😁 Not gonna lie, if I had the budget I’d probably have an Astral. But I’ve got to settle. I’m just glad I’m content. It’s definitely hard to find that with high end PC hardware, some parts are duds or just terrible, swapping same model for same other model is common in this hobby. So I’m glad I’m not chasing that. I remember the feeling when I bought that MSI 4080S Expert, I liked it, but didn’t love it. Wasn’t content with it. 🤣

The only thing I can agree with from Nvidia and recommend about Nvidia is the 5090FE is legit, and they let me actually buy one and that’s about it. That’s some serious brain washing to be thankful to have a chance to buy one and not overpay to the AIB’s. It’s a great GPU though, we have a true 2080Ti sized GPU only with insane levels of power, which is really cool that we can fit this little 2 slot card in anything. Looking at the prices of hardware. CPU’s/Memory/SSD’s/PSU’s/Cases. It seems like everything cost about the same except for GPU’s. It’s really odd! It really must just be the AI boom responsible for all of this? I don’t know. But you definitely don’t want to see MSI’s new prices for their 5090’s.. 😬 MSI wants to be like Asus now. 🥴

I love new clear soft tubing! Especially when it’s fresh cut and just installed. It looks fantastic. My 14900HX/4090 gets the job done decent enough. I can’t see replacing it. I use my laptop about 2 whole days per week. I think it’s gonna be some years before we see real improvements here. I figured you’d keep the 5090. Mines running pretty good as well. I leave it at 2760@0.900mv with +3,000 on the memory. It runs about 73c core/82c memory and 44% fan speed is the highest I’ve seen in a closed case. I’m so happy with it though. It’s nice and quiet! My chiller is idle in the corner now since I stopped using it, and my office is completely silent! My home power bill has dropped about $120 per month by the way just from unplugging the chiller. I had no idea the chiller used this much power, but I’m now thinking I was off on my prior estimates of power usage lol. Chillers are expensive to run 24/7/365. It definitely cost $ to maintain a constant 15c water year round.

Looks like 5090 is a lot faster than the 5080 than I originally thought. The 5090 is a beast! Definitely keep your Astral! On average the 5090 is about 50% faster than 5080, and in some scenarios it’s like 65%. Very impressive. The gap is definitely growing.

NICE!! I think the Astral looks very GOOD in my opinion. Big in your face GPU Godzilla! So, since you have a 5080FE already which was $999. I can see why you may struggle with keeping the Astral for that much cash. The 5080FE value is already impressive! I have to agree about the coil whine. I felt the same way about my 5090FE. you have to open the door and place your ear right beside the GPU and listen to it, I thought my 5090FE sounded amazing! Good luck on your decision! Excellent graphic card.
