*Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen :D
Papusan replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
What a failure. Band aid fix for something that should be fixed by nvidia before they release new gen graphics cards. And Nvidia.... Nothing is wrong🙄 I expect next gen graphics cards will get same/similar band aid fix. Warning (beeps from a buzzer on the gpu), then shutdown a couple of minutes after). The tiny connector will introduce more expensive graphics cards. We already see it with the Astral and the per pin monitoring feature. Come on.... Make a connector that just works. No more band aid fixes. Introducing GPU Safeguard+: Advanced GPU Protection on MSI Next-Gen Power Supplies -

I'm sure Jensen will push their engineers hard to make the 3060 as a amazing purchase. Gamers will be trilled for a bargain. Also DDR4 will come back. What next? Community tests confirm DLSS 4.5 yields 20%+ performance loss on older RTX 30 and 20 series GPUs compared to DLSS 4.0 -

Are you ready to bench worlds first MFG integrated graphics? But you'll buy thin & light. Or better known as JOKEBOOKs. A real replacement for desktop graphics cards. Can't beat fake frames and AI. I will wait in anticipation for your results 🙂 -

More unpleasant SKU design will only help increase the price hike for models you would prefer to buy. There is a huge load of people that wish to cram slimy high power cards into cute small SFF builds that help keep their homes cosy, hot and warm in the winters. Sadly they forgot there is also something called summer seasons every year. May I smella new round with melted cards due heat and custom cables to be able to use the cards in the tiny boxes. GeForce RTX 50 SUPER series seems out the window for now... Hence new stupid design choices for the 5000 series cards. And cuttting costs won't help the buyers. -

And if you can't afford it, then Jensen will help you out. And no more melting connectors if you chose right. The old will be the new gold for gamers.

One more boot in the face of Microsoft and their shiny bloated and buggy OS. Let'm bleed. NVIDIA Brings GeForce NOW To Linux And Fire TV With RTX 5080‑Class Cloud Gaming by Paul Lilly - Tue, Jan 06, 2026 It took a minute, but NVIDIA has finally answered the call to deliver a native Linux app for its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service (timely too, with recent Steam's survey data showing Linux on the rise for gaming). Before now, running GeForce NOW on Linux entailed unofficial workarounds, such as GeForce Infinity, going through Wine, or through a web browser, to name a few options. That will no be longer necessary soon, at least if running Ubuntu. NVIDIA's plan is to launch a beta release early this year, and more Linux distributions could be added to the mix. Of course no-one want this.... Windows 11 Start menu nags you to use OneDrive for backup to ensure you...

But will people use it? They already hate Windows 11....... Windows 11's growth was a fluke as market share falls again in December Some of it was picked up by Windows 10 and Windows 8, but it seems users are starting to leave the Microsoft platform.

I can see the same here now. You can still get 5090's but you have to buy what they offer. You may not get the brand or the SKU you want/prefer. But it seems more cards is on the way within 1-2 weeks/Unknown delivery date. How they will price they... I don't know yet. We are flooded with loads of 9070XT for those that dare. Me... I have the 5090 so no need to buy one. I rather spent $3875 USD (incl tax) on a new snow blower. Much more needed than any new tech parts right now🙂 A machine also my wife can handle. Honda is so damn expensive here home. But if you take care of it it will last you 30 years +. Even 15 year used they cost over $2000 in the used market. Honda doesn't change much. They prefer keep the old design/engine that just works... 12V-2*6 I look at you, you stupid🤢 Sad. They could offer 1200W and be within specs. I expect the 2500W XOC vbios is for the elite/chosen ones (and their friends) as usual from MSI. I expect Asus will make an XOC vbios for the Matrix for the elite. If they not already have it by now. But not for the vanilla pc enthusiasts. Dynamic 20X frame gen will be for 6000 series from Nvidia. Or 12x then 20x for the update a year after. For 7000 gen, I don't know. Maybe there is no more geforce cards by then. Only the cloud + overpriced AI cards for those that can afford it. -
When the newest is an flop. Or better say an failure.

Windows 8.1 emerges as the performance winner after six generations of the OS are pitted against each other Newest is always better bro @Mr. Fox. Can't beat innovations gen after gen. I wonder how good Win 12 will be. One thing for sure... It will be even slower than Win 11 if the progress and innovations continue from RR (Redmond R**********)

Corsair reverses course and honors gaming PC order after $700 price hike uproar — order was erroneously flagged, but the company sends a coupon to the buyer to snag the PC at the original price Yup,had they many other choices? Greed come at a price. . And yeah, the Corsair mod team worked damn hard to delete threads all over on their reddit forum. Firefighting everywhere. Their genuine staff couldn't have done a better job😀 Many years since Jensen talked about 8K gaming. Maybe we will see 60FPS as the latest and greatest. Both for castrated low end and overpriced high end. The only difference will be if you prefer 1080P or 8K. I'm sure bro @Mr. Fox drooooling by the great news😀 XPS for the winners🤮 Dell could bring back XPS laptops powered by Intel Panther Lake at CES 2026 Will Inspiron, Latitude, Precision, and OptiPlex also make a comeback? -
With time they will lock down every loopholes. They won't give up. Rather they have geared up to make the life worse for computer users.... Nothing like the good ol' days. Microsoft silently kills Windows and Office phone activation and forces online activation with a Microsoft account

@Mr. FoxNot sure Microsoft with Nadella in front think about the future. But clearly they going the wrong direction. Gamers will leave Windows and the same can be said for prosumers/corpotate/small business. While Microsoft is obsessed with AI, Valve is stealing PC gaming away

Exactly. Use only your eyes. Nothing more. If it works then let it be. People forget that every time you touch that shiiit then you risk the opposite of what you want. Looking good but the values have changed and you risk unbalanced load that will pop up as a disaster before you check next time🙃 I know... Because I have the overpriced pin-monitoring. Swap cards very often is a nightmare. + you need buy more trashy cables because the old cable with that tiny connector being worn out. -

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong," known as Murphy's Law. I'm pretty sure that a third of all new graphics card with the tiny trash has same or similar problems without knowing it. Perfectly connected or not doesn't matter. The difference is how long it will works before it goes up in smoke. -

What I think... TG wanted the extended warranty to calm down buyers using 3rd party parts. I would prefer they scrapped the extended warranty and offered cheaper items. -

Papusan replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
TG should have two price options. Cheaper for those running XOC/shunted cards out of specs. The reason for the higher prices with this gen WV is the extended warranty. $140 USD + shipping with tax on top ain't cheap. Even for a great product. 2. Covered Damage • The WireView Pro II must have been installed, operated, and used in accordance with the user manual. Protective mechanisms such as current, temperature, and power monitoring must be used with their standard settings and thresholds, and must not be disabled. • The use must remain within the operational parameters specified by the graphics card manufacturer (e.g., no shunt mods, no XOC BIOS with increase 4. Exclusions The warranty does not cover damage: • caused by external influences (e.g., overvoltage, lightning, moisture, mechanical impact); • resulting from the use of non-recommended adapters or cable combinations (e.g., low-quality adapters); • caused by modifications or improper alterations to the graphics card or the WireView Pro II (e.g., shunt modifications). • resulting from misuse, failure to follow the user manual, or professional use beyond the intended specifications.

There is still some small hope that people can get 5070Ti at more decent prices. If you are lucky and take your time. You are crazy if you rather go for $1100-1800 USD 5080 cards that in reality should be the new xx70 Ti tier in the 5000 series. $600 is an quite decent price. Or better say the more correct price. Edit. Some people don't grasp it. Why they need to defend a bad purchase/bad product for the money they spent? And as usual... The r/Nvidia modteam remove/close such threads. The old 14th gen Intel is still a monster chips. And Asus want to be one of the first offering price hikes for the New year. Their products is all too cheap. Of course they prefer to be first. Asus announces product price hikes starting January 5 https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/asus-announces-product-price-hikes-starting-from-january-5-and-ai-is-to-blame-ram-and-storage-cost-pressure-cited-as-main-trigger-for-pricing-increases 1000 Limited Edition cards, LOL ASUS ROG MATRIX also has RTX 5090D V2 version with 24GB memory, 807W max power teased Joke or stupid rumors.... I don't know. NVIDIA Pushing RTX 5090 Prices to $5000 in 2026, Rumor Claims Yees, flood China with US tech. This due Trump admin's ease on AI export controls. Feed it's worst enemy with whatever they want than helping their own citizens computer needs, is just disgusting. Sad. TikTok owner ByteDance to reportedly purchase $14 billion worth of Nvidia AI GPUs in 2026 Despite numerous setbacks, ByteDance spent 85 billion yuan on Nvidia chips throughout 2025, marking a significant increase for next year, South China Morning Post reports.
