The tariff mess. You never know what will come next day or next week in US. Better ship the cards to Asia and Europe. I'm sure China get what they want. And not only 5090D cards. RTX 5070 dips below MSRP at UK retailer — £518.99 marks a rare low in this unpredictable market https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/gpupi_-_1b/submissions/5821315?recalculate=true https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_sky_diver/submissions/5821312

Here's a new one. Expect more coming in. https://x.com/i/status/1910339720669778261

Older Fire Strike don't scale well with loads of cores. Either try disable half of the cores or try disable HT.

Different OS will give different results. There is no "fits all" anymore. https://www.3dmark.com/fs/33189868 When PC vendors tell you what's going on with tariffs, pay attention Some PC vendors are now revealing what they expect to pay for computer components after tariffs, extremely valuable information for consumers hoping to save money while building or buying PCs.

This just show how they (AMD) lure people. There is no reason to offer firmware with castrated power budget. They do this to upsell next tier in their price range. Desktop parts as etc graphics cards shouldn't be treated as mobil junk so it can work in limited space as in tiny and slimy jokebooks.

The faster AMD can get rids of 9070 the better. This SKU should have never seen the light. And same time they should reduce the MSRP for 9070XT down to same level as for 9070. That would help AMD to take over the whole mid end graphics cards. The RX 9070 could be discontinued, first in China, then in the rest of the world. What reasons does AMD have for this?

Thanks. Would you buy an gaming Jokebook for close to $15000 ?😂 Or what with an Apple-phone for $3500 ? It seems 5090 looks damn cheap compared to this. This estimate that iPhones would cost $3,500 if made in the US has me terrified of tariffs and the concept of a mid-range gaming laptop costing $5,000 and high-end models hitting nearly $15,000 Analyst predicts it would take years to move even a small fraction of iPhone production to the USA. Of course this happens... LATEST: Lowers punitive tariffs for 75 countries: –⁠ With immediate effect

This is what left from the leagacy of EVGA. The last chapter is sad reading. This feels like you bought an Jokebook.

Is the cards listed in retail/AIB shops with or without the new tariff/taxes? Or will taxes be added on top when you check out to pay? Lets say listed at $3500 and final price will be $3850 ? Well. The Norwegain webshop share the amount parts/cards with 3 other shops (same retail group) in Scandinavian countries + the shop in Denmark. Aka 4 shops have problems to sell those. Divided on 27 mill people.

Hmmm. Who want to pay ROG prices for PNY cards? If this is correct then I expect Asus will come with a new nice price increase very soon. What I see here... The only shop that have the Astral cards right now can't get rid of the overpriced Asus flagship (still +24 of them ready to be shipped). If so... What will Asus do with that? Try put an even higher price to see if that helps boost the sales?🧐 And what with the +50 in stock of massively overpriced 5080 Astral ? This card don't move out at all from the shop. Aka the same as for the 5090 Flagship from Asus. Everything related to newest tech is a disaster.... AMD motherboards fail with RTX 50 and RX 9000 cards: PCIe 5.0 speeds are reduced to 1.1, creating multiple problems for gamers.

Gamers have waited long time to get newest gen graphics cards.... RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC only $3488.99 Retailer Stuns Gamer With A $1000 Price Hike On His GeForce RTX 5090 Preorder Graphics cards are the most important and exciting part of a gaming PC. They're also the most expensive and getting even pricier, as gamers are quickly finding out. NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 is at the forefront of this discovery, as a buyer on Reddit recently experienced.

The same can be said for the Red side. Upgrading To An AMD Radeon RX 9070 For Just $669.99 For A Phenomenal Graphics Upgrade Sounds Like A Distant Dream, But Not If You Are An Amazon Prime Member MSRP is $549. And thats already all too much for such cards. Does people really pay upwards to $950 USD for RX 9070 ?🥴 The hate aginst Nvidia is real but this move to AMD is just a plain stupid purchase. RX 9070 should be sub $500. Minimum $50 USD below RTX 5070. And if you count in an extra $50 premium for the better AIB card you shouldn't see much above $550.

With all the weird issues then you can expect seeing the same as Microsoft offer for their new OS. New bug fixes will create new problems. And newest will always get the best love. An awful circle that don't stop.

Here's yet another failure from a well known PSU manufacturers. The new modern tech trend continue... Not enough 8 pin connectors. All money go into the 12V-2x6 pin connector. Modern MB will use 3x8 pin connectors nowadays to power the Cpu and the board. Also this one is only useful for newer Nvidia graphics cards. Forget this one if you have slight older Nvidia graphics cards or newer AMD and Intel graphics cards. See the final words from the reviewer. Maybe he should find an another job. Yep,he should. So, in closing, What FSP has done with the Vita GM 1000w ATX 3.1 PS is fantastic. Being compact yet efficient enough to power a complete high-end system with an RTX 5090 is quite an achievement.

Yup, 5090 is a fast card. Global 1th place GPUPI v3.3 1B Hall Of Fame Beating the XOC 😁https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/gpupi_v3.3_-_1b/rankings?cores=1&hardwareType=gpu Me right now @Prema 🤩 +3.5GHz https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/gpupi_v3.3_-_1b/submissions/5818263

Not bad with the oldest Win 11 version no one want anymore🙂 Weird Blackwell chip don't recover after a driver crash as older ADA did. So newer has to be better. Always😀 https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_port_royal/submissions/5818220?recalculate=true https://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2/port+royal+3dmark+score+performance+preset/version+1.0 https://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2/fire+strike+3dmark+score+extreme+preset/version+1.1

With nvidia prefer use small PCB for their cards... There is no space on the PCB for dual 12V-2x6 connectors. And from what I have seen... The 5090D HOF that the elite (the choosen one to promote the brand) use for world records use dual 12v-2x6 connectors. Galax made only 5 of them for their LN2 benchers. The rest of the cards will most likely come with a single connector. I think Nvidia don't allow any partners to use dual connectors even if they have big enough PCB. And there is people out there that think an native cable with same trash connector on both ends and with ATX3.1 specs is the better option. I will continue with 2x8pins to 12V-2x6 (12VHPWR) cable. There is no advantage with the native 12v-2x6 cables. Zero, nada.

@electrosoft As you know.... Nvidia said, the revised 12V-2x6 power connector with shorter sense pins on the GPU's fixed all problems. Be sure you don't see blinking Red lights near the tiny trash connector on the PCB. This is nothing more than a half-baked fix from Asus for premium. The fix/feature should be an proper shut-down if problems occurs. Not just a warning. And you shouldn't need to use the Asus software for have it to work Btw. I wonder how long it will take before Nvidia try force their AIB partners to push out new vbios to reduce the TBP down from 600W to 500W. Better cooling for the more expensive 5090 cards won't fix this connector flaw from nvidia. Another Blackwell GPU bites the dust, as the meltdown reaper has reportedly struck a Redditor's MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC. As of now, the only foolproof method to secure your RTX 50 series GPU is to ensure optimal current draw through each pin. You might want to consider Asus' ROG Astral GPUs as they can provide per-pin current readings Another RTX 5090 connector melts down, reportedly taking a PSU with it tomshardware.com And newest is always better regarding to Jonny Guru at Corsair😀

Maybe not now. People have seen Nvidia lies about 5090 performance for 5070 prices. But I'm sure you could grab one if you followed the market. There is still stupids out there as you know. This won't work so much anymore... Yup, you can find good deals... Not so good deal but cheaper than MSRP What I see here home right now. Flood of 5070, 5070Ti, 5080 and 5090 for sale in the shop. I expect the high prices don't move inventory out from the shop. Prices need to go down to speed up the sales. Even Asus have to make changes on prices. Pay more get less... And even worse with custom cards, LOL Same as me. But I use the 8pin to 12+4 pin cable from the PSU manufacturer. Btw. Only $11500 on the used market here home. Yup you see correct. Above $11K🧐 https://www.finn.no/recommerce/forsale/item/397253584?ci=6

99% sure I will keep the 4090 HOF. A real collector item. And I have both the XOC firmware and the XOC tool from Galax, soo. And the whole package (everything) is in pristine condition🙂 A nice to have card when I get rid of the 5090 Astral LC when it's time for 6090. Asus offer overpriced products and without soul. And come with cheapo gadgets as etc the ROG badgebutton for kids, the useless tiny GPU sag bracket and the fancy useless gold stamped ruler. This is not a collector item. The Astral is not a bad card (I really like it), but it will never be a collector item. Sad Asus went greedy and only made a cheap copy cat of the 4090 Matrix.

https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_port_royal/submissions/5816562 https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/130298471 Hmmm. Nope🙂 A much better deal was for those that could find used custom 4090's at $1000 when everyone else hunted after 5090 ghosts and hence sold their 4090's all too cheap to offset the much higher cost..
