Then see if you can find an open box with 5080 for around $800-825. Not a penny above. Or even better like $750-775. That is closer to what it's worth.

AMD confirms security vulnerability on Zen 5-based CPUs that generates potentially predictable keys

Only God knows how many cards being RMA due the fragile 12VHPWR connector/cable. I expect what we see from different forums is just the tip of the iceberg. And not all post on reddit either as you can see. And neither do you need to have 5090 to melt the tiny trash They all sucks. Doesn't matter if its Nvidia tech or from AMD's gaming team What did MSI do right with its cable management design?

Windows 11 bug tinted games and videos red and froze content, says Microsoft Microsoft admits long-standing Windows 11 driver 0x80070103 error, says it can’t fully fix the... Why bother fix old bugs when you prefer make the OS even worse? Some M$ engineers got free time to have fun? Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade

As Yzonker said.... Yep, I've run 10 amps in games without issue. Connector still runs around 40C on both ends at that power level. I've run 800w continuous which is probably 11 amps or so. That's about as high as I let it go. There's no meaningful performance beyond that anyway. Then we have this I posted above.... The average (gamer) Joe can easly run +12.6A for daily gaming without knowing the connector is out of specs. Pair it with the yellow Tip disaster (most likely China knock-off) and some will smell the smoke from their tight packed slimy slim pc box. And guess... I'm sure some will run above 12.6A on some pins. Weeks after weeks if lucky. And modern pc boxes with less than adequate cooling won't give them any benefits when the tiny trash Nvidia prefer start running out off specs. Without monitoring the different power pins you will never ever see how bad it is. Yup, there is different computer users out there... And 5080/5090 cards isn't only for PC enthusiasts. All sorts of people buy high end if they have the money and want the best of the best.

Finally some common sense... But this won't be the end of the YouTube nonsense. More of the same sh+++t will pop up😎 Edit.... Google denies that YouTube's AI removes videos and tutorials YouTube has been with us for two decades, and throughout these years it has added changes and improvements, although its purpose and objective remain the same.

This is disgusting. I wonder how many run their 4090/5090 with such out of specs load balancing. +12A on one pin while an another one barely reach 2A under full load condition. Just reinsert the connector several times and you get completly different results depending on your luck. You can't blame the users for melting their cards with such idiotic power design. Weird Nvidia never found out this under their testing and validation. Did they test only one card and one cavble?🤔 Without monitoring the different power pins you will never ever see how bad it is. https://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/67358-asus-rog-astral-geforce-rtx-5090-oc-im-test.html Not even weak low powered AMD cards ain't safe....

If you absolutely want 5080 why not wait for the Super cards? I expect the 5080 will drop in price once the refresh is out. And with an 5090 at MSRP (if you can find one at lowest price) will probably keep it's prices a long time, same as for 4090's. Some even got more for their 2 years old used 4090's than they paid. Won't happen with xx80 cards.

Remember newer is always better. Windows bug causes Task Manager to gobble up resources A bug in the latest update for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 (KB5067036) means that the Task Manager can chew up a large portion of primary memory after a while, reports Windows Latest

The pressure was too hard to swallow for AMD. But should we trust AMD? By market needs.... Nice. AMD Backtracks, Says It Will Continue Game Optimizations And Features Support For RDNA 1 And RDNA 2 GPUs New features, bug fixes and game optimizations will continue to be delivered as required by market needs in the maintenance mode branch, - AMD Rumors but Nvidia get higher profits from AI GPU's. What with 6090 ? Same pathern? We may go back to xx80Ti models due China. And damn expensive PRO cards for those that want better than xx80TI tier performance. NVIDIA will retire the RTX 5090 to prioritize AI GPUs and will leave the upcoming RTX 5080 SUPER as its most powerful gaming model. The RTX 5090 is entering its final stage of life ... Because production lines for AI GPUs need to be prioritized.

It seems F. Azor and his team-mates prefer that you scrap your slight older fully functioning Radeon cards long before they become useless for gaming. Yet another reason to avoid AMD as the plague it is. This is disgusting. Nvidia is bad but this is awful treatments of their valuable and loyal customers. Me supporting AMD with my hard earned money? Guess, bro @Mr. Fox What with you?🤐 @Raiderman got love our old friend F. Azor. He fits vere he belong now. AMD drivers age as fine wine, LOL AMD confirms focus shifts to RDNA3 and RDNA4, RX 6000 and RX 5000 lose day 1 game optimizations RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 graphics cards will continue to receive driver updates for critical security and bug fixes. To focus on optimizing and delivering new and improved technologies for the latest GPUs, AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2 is placing Radeon RX 5000 and RX 6000 series graphics cards (RDNA 1 and RDNA 2) into maintenance mode. Future driver updates with targeted game optimizations will focus on RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 GPUs. -AMD See the whole video. LOL....... Looks like my nephew's 8GB 3070 is more future-proof than 16GB 6800/6800XT/6900XT

GeForce RTX 5090 prices rise again as custom models exceed €2,600 ($3000+). xx90 cards ages as fine wine. Just look at 4090's 🙂 It’s that time of year when we look at the latest price cuts for top-tier graphics cards. Most RTX 50 models and even AMD’s Radeon RX 9000 series have seen price drops, except for the RX 9070 XT. Meanwhile, demand for the RTX 5090 is rising again, and retailers are reacting as quickly as gas stations after a spike in oil prices. I expect Asus don't follow the trend and start reach new highs with their cards. They are already one of the most expensive in the market. But this is probably too much to ask for🙄

The bigger you are, the harder you fall. Inflated values due to AI business (madness) will destroy someone's wealth/retirement savings. Nvidia is the recipe for a real bubble. No trees grow to the sky. NVIDIA becomes the first company in history to be worth $5 trillion NVIDIA's value is now greater than the GDP of every country on Earth, excluding the United States and China, as it becomes the first $5 trillion company, and it was only three months ago that it was worth $4 trillion. And AI is perfect for tasks like this. Aka useless. @Mr. Fox Nvidia screw users, LOL A deepfake Jensen Huang outperformed Nvidia's real GTC keynote on YouTube – with five times the viewers Promoting a crypto scam, of course A YouTube creator accuses Microsoft of being behind the action and rants about Google’s use of AI. Amazon plans to lay off up to 30,000 corporate employees as AI gains more prominence due to its productivity Reuters exclusively revealed last night that Amazon announced a significant new restructuring of its corporate workforce to its employees. Yup, you can trust AI...... AI mistakes a bag of Doritos for a gun, calls the cops According to a local news report from WBAL-TV 11 News, an "artificial intelligence detector" called the cops on a student at a Baltimore County school for mistaking a bag of Doritos for a gun. Apparently, the student was outside his high school, eating some Doritos and chatting to friends. Taki Allen, told reporters that "eight cop cars" pulled up with officers pointing their guns at him, asking him to get on the ground, on the suspicion that he was carrying a firearm. "They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back, and cuffed me," Allen said. "Then, they searched me and they figured out I had nothing."
