The Astral is still high priced here home. More like $3195 (but still much cheaper then US). The TUF and a similar other 5090s dippping around $2200 now. Seen it down to $2140.

The nice thing here home. Each circuit breaker is 16 Amp or 3680W. And minimum two of them in the main rooms. So a total of +7360W. I had a complete electrical upgrade of the house 1.5 years ago, so it should be good until I'm finished here on earth🙂 The Intel Ryzen moment. ASSRock or/and AMD won't tell whom to blame. Maybe we will see some more dead Ryzen chips the next 3 years (from earlier batches chips).

Instead for buy overpriced low/mid end 8GB graphics cards 30-50% above MSRP there is options for those that don't care. Do Gamers Need A Graphics Card? iGPU Performance Explored I remember the flack Nvidia got from launching two different 4080 SKUs. One of the 4080 become withdrawn due wrong naming. AMD does the same in 2025 for 9060 XT. They never learned from Nvidia's failure/scam. The 8GB cards should be branded non XT and re labeled as 9050 8GB Edition... And nvidia continue with bad QC. Nvidia releases emergency RTX 5060-series firmware to fix blank screens on reboot

Our old friend F. Azor continue as he did in Dell Alienware. Not much have changed from that man. But he is right in one thing...There is market for 8GB graphics cards trash. No in hell people should pay $300 and upwards for 8GB cards in 2025. AMD defends RX 9060 XT 8GB, says majority of gamers have no use for more VRAM LOOL And there is something called double standard (AMD in a nutshell). Or AMD have adopted the salesman F. Azors thinking about how to run the business. AMD has been heavily critical of NVIDIA in the past for its memory limitations, but now that it has launched a Radeon RX 9060 XT with 8 GB , it has changed its mind. In recent years, AMD has repeatedly criticized NVIDIA for only using 8 GB of VRAM in its modern graphics cards. But now it is no longer of the same opinion as it has followed in its footsteps.

Microsoft's bold move: Expensive Surface Laptop 13 now ships without a charger Microsoft officially states that this move supports EU initiatives to reduce electronic waste.... Nope. This is done to increase profits.

Gigabyte found a way to save 50 cent on their +3300$ graphics cards. Of course they took the opportunity to make slight better profits... Greedy bastards. https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-nvidia-rtx-5090-owners-club.1814246/post-29469571

Hmmm. If you have MB with camm modules and use bench-table you can put your plastic figures on top of them. LOL

Crying after mama🙂 Please close the damn chassis door. And undervolt me.

They will shamelessly feed data to an onboard large language model. Everyone should help Microsoft to win the AI race. Messaging app Signal will block Windows Recall from taking chat screenshots WTF?! Recall is shaping up to be a security and privacy nightmare – and one of the most popular messaging platforms is already trying to patch the hole. Signal's developers are now resorting to a "weird trick" involving Windows DRM to shield users from unwanted Microsoft surveillance.

Yup. Gigabyte prefer offer you below bare minimum for the markets highest priced graphics cards. https://www.overclock.net/posts/29469387/ Gigabyte's CEO try to educate their engineers... Second failure... CAMM2 form factorIn the desktop PC, the new RAM has so far been a failure No boards, no RAM. No RAM, no motherboards either. The CAMM2 memory standard is completely unavailable in desktop PCs. Forget cheap 5090's... Power supplies with up to 3.3 kW Manufacturers competing for the performance crown In the future, ATX power supplies will even be available with up to 3.3 kW, which is the maximum for a 1-phase household connection.

Very smart done by Jonny Guru and his team mates at Corsair. The new 2025 refresh of the HX1500i continue to have two 2×8 cables on the power supply side of the 12v-2*6 cables. No tiny junk will be connected to the PSU shroud. Clever done. Why change that just works @Mr. Fox?😎 2x PCIe 5.1 (12V-2×6) 650mm connectors (two 2×8 cables on the power supply side) Review: Corsair HX1500i Power Supply (Model 2025) Hmmm. PSUs for more than 1x5090 is the big now. Does this mean Nvidia will produce more 5090s or will gamers have to compete harder with prosumers that fill up their workstations with "cheap" 5090s for AI tasks?

Fake frames and fake prices🙃

Innovation at it's best. When aRGB ain't enough to trick you into pay more. Same as with modern AIOs. A small screen on everything to increase the prices. V-Color puts displays on memory modules tomshardware.com Of course, screens on the side of memory modules add to the cost, but since they represent a unique feature, enthusiasts will likely be willing to pay extra to have it.

I Expect Nvidia need all defective/cutdown GB202 they can find for a possible 5090DD for China market. If that's the case not even sure we will see 5080Ti. And if they do the 5080Ti they will certainly be +-1600$. Maybe the 5080 will live aside the 5080 Super (to be able to offer a $1000 card). Or the whole range need a mid cycle upgrade if Nvidia put the 5080 Super closer to $1200. Nvidia need the $1000 card to compete with AMDs 9070XT. If we don't see a real upgrade as etc xx70Ti Super priced $899. Nice... The Wireview need a fan now.

Not much of an upgrade. More vram is welcome but the rest is the same. Will probably come with an increased price. But with this refresh Nvidia have made room for the 5090DD for China and a possible 5080Ti RTX 5080 Super rumored with 24GB of memory — Same 10,752 CUDA cores as the vanilla variant with a 400W+ TGP

Hmmm. Have seen more melted yellow tip MSI adapters than you see from Cablemod this gen. The nice thing with the yellow tip from MSI ... You can easly see if the connector have been overheated😁 But only if you disconnect the 12v-2*6 connector. Or haven't it fully plugged it in. Brown it will be anyhow. @tps3443 maybe the whole connector should be yellow so you could spot a possible color change before it's too late? You won't get melted power connectors with the new 8GB card from Nvidia. Does that mean a better purchase?🙂

FACEPALM Nvidia's RTX 5060 launch and the erosion of independent GPU reviews This situation is a wake-up call. As tech enthusiasts, we rely on honest coverage to guide our purchases. We must demand transparency and support outlets that prioritize truth over marketing. Because if this trend continues unchecked, the next generation of gamers might find themselves drowning in polished PR, without even realizing they're being sold a fantasy. Asus and MSI stands out offer their best 5060@8GB custom cards for $409 USD. Where to buy Nvidia's RTX 5060 8GB GPU Exactly what Nvidia have asked for. The perfect solution for 5090's. Better PSUs to power more cards. The more you pay the more you save. Yup, several 5090's in workstations is perfect to make shortage/keep higher ASP. ASUS unveils PRO WS power supplies up to 3000W, supporting four GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards

Yup, the Asus Gold Edition looks much cleaner. The MSI card look disgusting in that color scheme. If it wasn't for the Titanium material it shouldn't cost more than the vanilla Suprim model.

As expected. MSI take an Asus. But not a Lighning card. But still with Gold coating to try increase profits further. How much will MSI lift the prices above the vanilla Suprim? $500 ? A great price point would be around $3800 to maximize greed. Or are $4000 too much bro @Mr. Fox😎 MSI unveils GeForce RTX 5090 SUPRIM TITANIUM EDITION

In fact, Nvidia allow their partners to implement 2x12V-2*6 connectors for their graphics cards. But I expect they don't want due higher costs.

Here's the thing. In the future you don't need to do anything. Just accept what you get😀 Bright future? Walmart prepares for a future where AI agents do the shopping The retail giant is exploring ways to make its products appealing not just to human customers, but also to the AI bots that may soon be making purchasing decisions on behalf of consumers. 5090 just looks cheaper and cheaper for every new release. I wouldn't be surprised see the better AMD xx60 class cards above $600 incl tax. AMD RX 9060 XT price leaks in European stores, and you won't like it because it confirms your worst fears.

Apple own the whole eco system. 100%. The Surface junk from Microsoft stands for below 1%. Microsoft just can't stop f*** up peoples systems. Windows 10 KB5058379 locks PCs, BitLocker Recovery triggered on boot, BSODs

Me? Have tested it. But the fan control on the Astral is total wacko with the Gigabyte vbios. Only useful if you have a waterblock for the card. But not bad with the 600W power cap https://www.3dmark.com/pr/3411290 Edit. What a beauty. But it will most likely be a downscaled/castrated card for China. If this info is correct from Manly, then expect the Black Edition of xx90 HOF will be an hefty downgrade. More like 5090DD. Yet, a damn pretty one. GALAX teases its first GeForce RTX 50 Hall of Fame graphics card in black @Mr. Fox ASRock announces X870E Taichi OCF, its first AMD OC Formula motherboard for overclocking https://videocardz.com/newz/asrock-announces-x870e-taichi-ocf-its-first-amd-oc-formula-motherboard-for-overclocking This should be done for every HW manufacurer. No one want big packages with bloatware intalled on their systems. And (a)RGB should be set to static White for default settings. The RGB jockey's can tune for their likings if they prefer other colors than white. Not force the trash on everyone. MSI preps web-based RGB controls so you don't have to install bloatware on your PC @electrosoft You prefer AIO coolers. Take a look....

Just wait. The Chinese will put all work into making the 5090FE work with 48GB vram. And they will hack the firmware/make custom nvflash that will work. Some will do it. Be you sure. Maybe with xx60 series we will see the same also for all AIB cards (you are stuck with what you bought). We already see some of it today (problems cross-flash some of the AIB cards).
