It was just question of time. Asus couldn't be any worse than MSI. Hence this one come now. Sad Asus need to be pushed spanked by their competitors... Their reputation as THE PREFERED OC BRAND at stake. Asus own cards is almost none compatible for cross-flashing with any brands vbios versions (neither with firmware from their own SKUs). They really screwed up this gen. It's hard be on the list of shame. And Asus will stay there at least for this gen. Yep, their reputation is severely damaged. Shame on you.

The MSI Yellow tip keep up the race. 9 out of 10 is the cute adapter from MSI. And how many MSI graphics cards suffer from bad soldering of the tiny trash?

I think it will work fine but the vbios screw up the fans. It seems nothing is meant to work properly with Asus cards. I mean have seen the AIO owners say only the single fan for the VRM on the GPU works but not for the fans for the radiator. Can probably swap out the org fans with some that I can connect to a fan controller/MB. The fans for the radiator coming with the Asus AIO cards doesn't have a "normal" fan connector or connected with cables. And not sure the fan for the VRM will work correctly anyhow. Everything proprietary mounted. Exactly as good old Dell. Our old friend F. Azor would be proud of Asus and todays modern way to make tech. With a custom block it will work just fine but that will be another $500-700 with needed parts. And +2 months lead time. Nothing to find for needed parts here home.

Yep. How many reviewers/techtubers/influencers got paid from MSI ?🤔 And if they got paid... Will they tell it? And MSI's new web based software is a huge mess. Imagine 5090 only could beat two gen old cards (3090) with 35-39%. It would be called a failure!

The main problem with the (wrong) 2500w XOC version is the default voltage of 1.2v. If you forget to use the curve and reduce voltage you are at risk kill the card in longer benchmarks. Not as much with the 2001W XOC that default to 1.150 And where to get the MSI XOC tool the chosen ones got for the Lightning? Not sure that one is leaked. +50mv is huge when already high 1.150 is at the border for custom cooling with +1000W power limits. I remember using the Galax XOC vbios I have for the 4090 HOF. Pump in +50mv with the Galax tool above default max voltage can kill the card without proper cooling (preferably chiller with sub zero temp).

Not sure if the leaked 2500W vbios is the one to get. I mean I have seen there is a newer 2500W XOC that is more safe to use. The default voltage is all too high. More like 1.2v (there is several variants of the XOC vbios floating).

Yup, Microsoft works hard to improve the reputation for their newest OS. What can goes wrong bro @Mr. Fox? Will more AI coding fix the main problem with their OS ? Microsoft says Windows 11 update causes BSOD on some GPU config, broke WPA3 Wi‑Fi,... Microsoft says it is aware of two separate issues that could affect some Windows 11 installs, including a fatal bug that crashes PCs.

Microsoft is getting fed up with OpenAI and wants to distance itself from it if it continues to ask for money frequently. Before launching ChatGPT in late 2022, OpenAI was an AI startup that needed funding to achieve its goal of creating a cutting-edge AI model called GPT, which would later power its popular chatbot.

Hmmm. I said/guessed 50-100. The estimate is 100 to 200 units were distributed to reviewers and influencers. Not sure who have correct here. But for pure promo of the company I would say MSI send out more than 100 cards. How many of the influencers will put the cards on ebay to grab some profits? This gen Lighning cards is just an ad. Not as a flagship card they used to offer the consumer/enhusiasts in the old days. MSI RTX 5090 LIGHTNING lands on ebay with price ranging from $7,000 to $14,000 Sadly... This is the way mainstream goes. HEDT will cost a lot more but offer more mem channels and PCIe lanes. What you see is the new price level for mainstream/consumer/gamer chips. More cache cost money... Keep in mind that the details aren't official, so do take these numbers with some skepticism. That said, the variants with 144 MB of on-die Last-Level Cache (bLLC) are reportedly going to measure roughly 57% more or 153.92 mm2 (14.8 mm x 10.4 mm). These SKUs are reportedly built specifically to compete against AMD's X3D SKUs for superior gaming performance, where higher L3 cache often leads to faster data retrieval. That said, these will result in higher pricing, as building a larger die on cutting-edge nodes like TSMC N2 will be more expensive.
