The yellow tip MSI adapter can't even handle an 5070Ti. And same here... Most of the 12V terminal pins have the same brownish color as the MSI adapers running 600W 5090 cards. 5070Ti is 300W cards. Hmmm. LOL Nice. 36 out of 52 cores is low performing E-cores. 4 of them even lower-power efficiency cores. And of course no HT because Intel intead prefer a flood of baby cores. Intel don't make real desktop processors. Only processors for tablets/slimyyy thin Jokebooks ported over for desktops (with increased TDP). + server chips. Intel’s next-gen “Nova Lake-S” Core Ultra series to feature up to 52 cores (16P+32E+4LP) with 150W TDP

Microsoft will have a problem if they think they can convince people to throw their older fully working computers in the trash bin and buy new before the EOL date for Win 10. User calls Windows 11 “pure horror,” Microsoft says it’s listening to feedback Windows 11 is far from perfect, but some users truly hate the upgrade, which will become mandatory for everyone starting October 14, 2025. In a post on X, a user who switched to Fedora called Windows 11 “pure horror,” and responding to the criticism, Microsoft’s Insider Program head promised the company is paying close attention to the feedback. It's been four years, and I still don't have a strong enough reason to upgrade to Windows 11 Redmond is making various attempts to get people to seamlessly upgrade to Windows 11 in what may be last ditch efforts before the looming Windows 10 EoL date. But I believe what will really move the needle is the actual arrival of EoL or groundbreaking Windows 11 features that you simply can't get elsewhere. But I do believe that the latter will take some time, so until then, let's welcome the age of the new Windows 7. @Mr. Fox This was doomed to happen. What Microsoft has made is an ticking bomb.

AMD is on the way with their AI hardware. They will sink equal low. So not so sure we will have any viable options (correct pricing and real performance uplift without software tweaks and new fake frame features). AMD Expected to Break NVIDIA’s AI Monopoly With Next-Gen Instinct MI500 Accelerators & EPYC “Verano” CPUs, Set to Compete Against Vera Rubin Lineup We can only hope the AI bubble bursts.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble AI has not turned out to be as effective as they thought: 50% of companies that wanted to replace their employees with AI are backing out.

Have seen it. Disgusting. Not much have changed since F. Azor left the ship. Regarding the 9090XT I think that will be the 9080XT. Add xx90 in the name is misleading if the performance can't come close to 5090. More vram and will probably beat a possible 5080 Super. AMD could be greedy if they add 32GB vram and beat any of the xx80 class cards. Everything in bethween $1000 and 1200 is possible. 32GB vram is the selling point to target users who prioritized memory capacity for gaming, AI and creative workloads. Now it's up to Nvidia put an correct price point on the Super cards. And as usual ... AMD will copy that prices due the bigger 32GB vram buffer.

@tps3443 Not easy fix failed FE cards when you can't get needed parts. This is even worse than Dell @Mr. Fox Good engineering means that you can make the product repairable and with good supply of needed parts customers can buy (easy to find and cheap to buy). Nvidia fail hard. It turns out that those small inductors for RTX 5090 FE PCB are not available for purchase? Brother Zhang, who repairs computers on the BILIBILI channel, previously uploaded a video of repairing an NVIDIA RTX 5090 FE ( source ), and the connector burned up again. But what I am interested in is another RTX 5090 FE that flashed by in the video, because Brother Zhang said that the RTX 5090 FE has been left in the store for several months. The reason is that there is no material for repair and no components can be bought. Brother Zhang waited for several months but couldn't buy this special inductor, so he was unable to repair it. Btw. The new "amazing" deal will make hardware more expensive forwards. The losers will be the US citizens. But I expect the millionaires/billionaires now get some lower taxes(paid by the tariff from China). The ordinary people will get nothing back. Only increased costs. Then increased inflation on top. The US and China make peace on tariffs: +55% and +10%, hardware will rise in price, and not a little. Nvidia should have scrapped the RTX naming for SKUs below 5070Ti. Just brand them GTX as in older days. Because RT isn't for those cards. Want RT on mid tier cards, then go with AMD. Greed come at a price. Not that AMD offer much more but Nvidia have failed hard with sub 5070Ti cards branded RTX.

Yup. And this is what Intel have spent the last months for.... A refresh of i5-12400F. But you get 100MHz higher boost clocks. Isn't that nice and very exciting? Exactly as in the old days with Skylake +++++++. Yeee, profits from low end parts made by own foundry at reduced costs for budget. Intel will not survive in the long run if they continue this way. Intel preparing budget Core 5 120F 6-core CPU featuring only P-cores https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-preparing-budget-core-5-120f-6-core-cpu-featuring-only-p-cores Based on the slide, the P-Core frequency is 2.5 GHz base and 4.5 GHz boost. These specs are nearly identical to the Core i5-12400F, which is also a P-Core-only processor. The only dierence is a 100 MHz higher boost clock on the 120F. Also AMD try similar as Intel but with Ryzen 7 9700F for mainstream gamers on the AM5 platform. The race continue who can offer the cheapest trash for maximum profits. The only difference is that AMD also offer processors for high end gaming. AMD To Launch Ryzen 7 9700F 8-Core “Zen 5” CPU With iGPU Disabled, Set To Cost Around $250 For Mainstream PC Builders

Imagine next gen Intel tile mess (incl dummy tiles) with v-cashe, NPU and loads of E-cores, a few P-cores and no HT. That 9950X3D you got and sending back will look decent compared to next gen Intel. With all problems INTEL have with Core Ultra then imagine how it will be with the 3D v-cashe baked in. The silicon lottery will come on top.

If the 5090FE cost $2000 then should this be the normal MSRP for the 5090 Astral (10% extra).

That is spot on... Dell can continue with their business as long consumers throw away their hard earned money... From the OP post..... I’ve done loads of research to the point where I think I’m just running round in circles now with the little understanding I have of gaming pc’s. I understand that I would be paying a premium for this particular PC but that doesn’t bother me. Not from Dell but still an disgusting deal... Gold-plated RTX 5090 for up to 19,200 euros net on eBay

Nothing beat the sound of the bagpipe😄

Those defective 6000 chips will go into China as their newer AI server chips paired with +48GB GDDR7. No point make 5090Ti if they don't cost north of $4500. And that's too much for 5090Ti/Super class cards. The Fury say sing so😁 And very equal as.... This is waste of money @Mr. Fox

And I'm sure they won't reduce prices if the GPU tariff won't be as high as some think.... And not so sure the US governments is so keen make PC's, laptops and important computer parts being so expensive a few weeks before the school year start in the United States. And we all know +95% of needed tech is made in Asia. Even 10% tariff will be felt very well when the school year opens. Or maybe the US Government want that you all should buy cheap Chromebooks/tablets for the school opening? Maybe go back to pen and paper evn in the higher leven schools? If that happens, you can be sure that education in the US will fall further behind countries like etc. China. Bad enough as it is. I doub't we will se an massive price hike due stupid high tariffs right before the school start up this summer. But Nvidia and AIBs... They will do whatever they can to max out profits. And you don't need flagship graphics cards for School work... So. GPU Manufacturers Are Rushing NVIDIA GPU Production To Bring Them To The US Prior To The July 9 Well, companies are fond of leveraging desperate times in order to increase profit margins, and in the case of AIBs, well, they would likely wait for the July 9th deadline to pass before releasing market inventory. This would allow them to bump up prices in case a trade agreement isn't reached, and then ultimately, drive up the prices. See bolded text.

I wonder how bad the real 5050 will be when the 5060 is in reality an mediocre 5050 class graphics card. So an new released 5050 aka xx30 tier card for your pc monitor setup and not much more. Then why not instead go with an processor with iGPU? The real 5050 will be a waste of sand and should never be made. Or waste of money for the consumers. Put in what's fits. The Real Nvidia GPU Lineup: GeForce RTX 5060 is Actually a Mediocre 5050 Btw. The newest tech in Papusan's plaza😀 Se bolded text.... This affects other models as well. What used to cost $350 to $400 (inflation-adjusted) now costs $550, and you're not even getting as much as you used to. GPUs that once sold for $500 to $600 prior to 2020 are now $1,000. Everything has gone up by 40% to 50% on top of overall inflation. So why is the GeForce lineup suffering from such significant shrinkflation? Why are consumers getting less value now than ever? An obvious answer is simple: new unlimited demand for AI GPUs and profit.

Maybe better have a nap😁 Not all average Joe see it this way. If the PC cost above $1000 then it has to be good. And don't expect everyone know the difference between 8 and 16GB vram. You shouldn't give so much credit to humanity. Even stupids can be great people. Sad seeing they become screwed. See bolded text.

Nvidia is ready to help China with "cheaper" graphics cards for AI workloads. If you aren't alloved to sell higher tier graphics cards... What is better than offer them needed parts for DIY ? If they can offer the GB202 silicon and vram IC's much is done. And probably more difficult to track where it lands. Just use shell companies or/and their AIB partners around the China region. 48GB 5090's is incoming. But not for everyone. Jensen Huang will do everything for China. Even go outside the US ban for higher profits Samsung GDDR7 3GB modules now available for DIY purchase in China, RTX 5090 48GB mods incoming? In China, Samsung’s new K4VCF325ZC-SC28 24Gb memory is now on sale. Potential customers apparently need to buy at least ve modules to get free shipping, and each module costs around 10 USD.

Who is supposed to buy this? Microsoft's Surface Laptop 13 is worse and just as expensive as the Surface Laptop 13.8

Most people buy prebuilt systems and keep them 4-5 years. And up to $2000 for the whole systems and with 8GB vram cards in 2025 ain't nice. Rather ugly. Even $1200-1400 systems with this type of scam ain't pretty. But that's me. I don't like being scammed. I rather pay a bit more or buy used than support this form of tech degradation... And this ain't pretty. Form over function....

Why the 5070 ? Maybe the worst SKU in nvidias's lineup. I know you won't keep it but support Nvidia this way ain't very productive.

@Mr. Fox Here's the thing.... We had something similar with older Win 8/8.1 and Windows 10. If you run benchmarks and the processor maxed out at 100%. This smart ass operating system from Redmond figured out that you weren't using the machine if you weren't touching the mouse and hence started up collecting telemetry, maintaining the OS and then sending the data back to Microsoft's servers. Only because the OS think the machine wasn't in use when you run benchmarks. Maybe it will be the same with the new Win 11 build, but with baby cores running to collect your data (the P cores is disabled while Microsoft gets its share of your data/privacy). No in Hell Microsoft is able to do this correct. Windows 11 25H2 Introduces User Interaction-Aware CPU Power Management These adjustments may include lowering clock speeds and voltage, extending time spent in deeper C-State sleep modes, and disabling high-performance cores while leaving low-power cores active. This approach aims to optimize energy consumption without compromising system responsiveness.

Dedicated to @Mr. Fox😀

For the Red Team jockey's. What you see isn't what you think it is. Samsung isn't what they were in the older days... RX 9070 XTs with Samsung memory are almost 2% slower than those with SK Hynix despite having higher GPU frequencies AMD has not clarified anything, manufacturers do not want to talk We've been working on a cross-platform comparison of the RX 9070 XT recently, and during testing we noticed that many high-end graphics cards, no matter how high their base clock, how good their quality, or how capable their overclocking is, simply couldn't outperform some models with more basic materials and reference designs in 3DMark. The increased sale of Nvidia gaming cards is a lie. Just more 5090's feeded into China. Yup, that's spot on. I have said the same a long time now. China will always get what they want. And Nvidia's CEO Jensen is fine with that.

This. Nvidia can just stop the card from function properly afterwards with just the geforce driveres.... I look at you Maxwell (Nvidia killed voltage tuning with newer drivers and the voltage slider is greyed out/not working anymore even with kingpin cards and their own XOC software). And people want/need newer drivers as months goes, so.... Isn't that nicly done by Nvidia? And I'm 100% sure Nvidia could easly open up the max vram cap for 5000 series cards with their drivers if they wanted (this will overide any firmware lock). Both for desktop cards and those castrated soldered chips (better word for BGA) for Jokebooks.
