Nice seeing the tiny trash connector on the Zotac card run hotter than the GPU cores😁 And with uneven power balancing bethween the pins the connector will surely run even hotter. At 100C you can start fry eggs on the backplate for that card. I'm sure the results would be much better with the Zotac 5090. And the cooking would go much faster🙂

I wonder what prices nvidia will put for an 5080@24GB Super cards. Maybe $1199? I don't think Nvidia will do the same as they did with 4080 Super prices. $999 for 24GB cards won't happen. At best maybe $1099,99 Nvidia may release the RTX 5080 and 5070 Super with boosted memory configurations according to leaker How many hotfix drivers will be pushed out before the Super series release and next level of screw ups start? A hotfix for an hotfix... The new normal from the Green team?🤔 NVIDIA releases another GeForce Hotfix driver with 10 game and monitor fixes Thanks. It's a nice card but the prices is out of hands (not worth it). $2000 is already quite step for MSRP cards. Above $3000 is just disgusting. The cheapest shop I can see the Astral LC OC cost $3122.91 without tax right now (13 in stock). So a price increase around $120 vs what I paid. Fantastic 4K results from the new ++$3000 graphics cards... RTX 4090 Is the First True 8K Gaming GPU According to Benchmarks... Just the start. 99% of all hardware manufacturers in Asia won't move over to US. They will rather move to other regions in Asia where they can avoid the highest tariffs. See you as damn lucky if you only get 10-15% higher prices. This before you count in the increasing infation that will start hunt you again due the tariff war. Cheapest is not to buy anything the next years. The saved money can be used etc to pay for higher priced food. The US is running out of HYTE PC cases due to tariffs: they will have to wait for production in Vietnam or Thailand. I have said this before several times for Liquid metal. Falsely advertised sky high W/m·K thermal conductivity numbers. Nice seeing this being confirmed as pure scam. You can't beat physics..

Not sure I want to spend more money on computer parts right now. And not much time for it now. All to much to spend on the house rehab and other peripherals for the house. I also thinking about a robotic lawnmower. But that's also equal pricy as the +$3000 graphics card. And then I have to set aside money for our usual one mont summer vaccation outside Africa. 3.5 months go fast. 300-500 USD here and there will be a lot money in the end. Same vram clock cap also with Hynix. You lust got a love nvidia. The next level of stupidity will be capping the core clocks or remove the voltage slider from working with new Geforce drivers as they did with Maxwell graphics cards. Nvidia just make it harder and harder to love them😒 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti With SK Hynix GDDR7 Memory Overclocked To 34 Gbps; Delivers 7% Performance Uplift

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/pc-cases/pc-case-and-components-maker-hyte-pauses-shipments-to-u-s-customers-amid-tariff-pressures Le3ss time for me fiddle with computers now. Typical in the spring after the long and cold winter. Now we have reached that time of year where you have to fix up around the house and garden. Tidying up the garden and yard, painting, start the rehab and expansion of the terrace for this springs work. Also bought a Pergola this time. The one I bought has more as a waterproof roof that can be adjusted so you can let in sunlight. The last one they had left in the store. Typically for early spring is that everything in the stores becomes fast empty of seasonal goods. If you can't find what you want then you need to wait for next spring. Or go hunting after parts at the double the cost. Many hard winters with rainy summers will kill what you have outside the door. Nothing last forever here in the climate we have here in the cold North. Nice have something to spend your hard earned money on. Bought this Pergola. Nice to sit under if there is rainy days. I saved $600 on sale for the Pergola. So a no brainer I jumped on it now. Next year it will be even more expensive as it always does 🙂Similar Pergola models in other shops is often double the price or around $2300. Well below half the price is a good purchase (if you are in need for one). Run and buy. I did, LOL

AMD patches critical Zen 5 microcode bug — partners deliver new BIOS with AGESA 1.2.0.3C

Galax want $520 $535 "extra" premium for the second 12v-2*6 (They should have offered dual 12V-2*6 for all 3 different HOF Sku's). The damn bean counters strikes again. And the card still have the same 600W power limit as every AiB partner cards. I'm sure Nvidia didn't like what Galax did with the 4090 HOF and offered 666W vbios. Dual power connector doesn't help with this gen. But if you are one of the few chosen ones you may get the XOC firmware and the XOC tool. Nope. No thanks. And the D sku for China doesn't tempt me. People in the used market want fully working graphics cards. Not cards offered to China due the US ban. I mean it's 1.095

ASUS, GIGABYTE, and MSI will raise the prices of their motherboards without giving any explanation or reason. They want more $$$ but offer less and less back to the paying customers. Asus want to fix what's not the problem. Asus have never learned from the past. And they won't change how they will run their business. They want $300 to even look at the board that cost $400 and still under warranty. https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/3dmark_-_time_spy/submissions/5826335?recalculate=true LoL. Newer has to be better. Always😁 I bet Intel is damn happy for this. Wafers from older node is cheaper to produce. And they can make them in own foundry. Intel's AI PC chips aren't selling well — instead, old Raptor Lake chips boom During the earnings call, Intel announced that it currently faces a shortage of production capacity for its 'Intel 7' process node, and the company expects this shortage to "persist for the foreseeable future." That's an unexpected shortage to have, as Intel's current-gen chips use newer process nodes from TSMC instead of Intel's older 'Intel 7' node. H++ didn't save theis 4090 FE "Super" from melting.

The newest drivers from Nvidia is even more fun with Jokebooks😁 Newer has to be better. Isn't that correct bro @Mr. Fox

Intel can't even make silicon wafers for own products. And people can't afford anything it if prices go up 2-3 or even 4 times todays prices. Whats the point start make products if noone buy it. And people start cry already if inflation is above 4%. This doesn't look good, neither for US or rest of the world.

Hmmm. Under Warranty until 01-24-2026 / Does MSI want to be the new Asus_

Not sure if there is made an new custom Nvflash tool. We would hear it if it was. So nope. Without it and you are stuck with what nvidia offer https://www.overclock.net/posts/29458806/ Nvidia was also so kind lock down max allowed vram clockspeed. You don\t own your graphics card. You are only allowed to use it.

Also Nvidia play the silicon lottery for their new graphics cards... Isn't it nice? Some RTX 5070 Ti are arriving with overclocked SK Hynix GDDR7 modules, they are 24 Gbps modules Unless SK Hynix has 28 Gbps modules exclusively for NVIDIA and hasn't said anything, what we're seeing is that these modules come with a higher capacity as standard. Specifically, those 24 Gbps correspond to 1,500 MHz , but NVIDIA certifies 1,750 MHz on all its models , which implies a 250 MHz gap to be offset. That is why it is understandable that the Greens have implemented a limit on the overclocking of all models through BIOS and drivers, since the maximum that Huang's team allows is +375 MHz over the stock 1,750 MHz. If true, SK Hynix's RTX 5070 Ti GDDR7 graphics cards are extremely tight out of the box, well above the specification they were built for And Intel has to rely on tech from Asia. They simply can't fix it by themself. I expect their own chips foundry will be for Jokebooks and server chips. Nice. Intel has reportedly placed an order with TSMC to create 2nm Tiles dedicated to its new Nova Lake gaming CPUs. Taiwanese giant TSMC is ready to fire up the 2-nanometer machine in the second half of the year, and it's going to do so with some really big clients. A leak has just arrived from Taiwan itself that suggests something.. Intel 18A could be destined for the Tile GPU (bGPU, to be specific) due to its higher performance, leaving the Tile CPU to TSMC and its 2 nm processors due to its higher density.

GPU Tweak is a bloated mess. I only use it for some old cards for voltage tuning (no other GPU software works for some older cards). Nvidia have released an Hotfix but this is their so called WHQL driver tuned for their latest and greatest From the comment section for the Hotfix... Jan A.3 hours ago I'm traumatized from all these bad drivers in the past few months lol. This last one tried to kill my 5090 when it didn't report the right temp and it forced the card to shutdown to protect itself from overheating and I thought it died lol Another one added to the GPU lottery... Or just pay more? And is there a reason AMD can't use GDDR7 for their new graphics cards? AMD begins using Samsung GDDR6 memory in its RX 9070 XT with impressive results: 10°C cooler, lower noise In fact, there are already rumors of AIC segmentation for this reason. In other words, SK Hynix's GDDR6 chips could be used only in mid-range or premium models, while Samsung's chips would go to premium models

A short brief at the latest tech... Intel want that you pay more to come closer in performance vs previous gen. This won't work. Too expensive and with a platform that is close to EOL. Why now? Want to get rid of chips no one want? Tested: 'Intel 200S Boost' yields 7% gaming performance increase, covered by warranty And Nvidia think this is an good idea. Nvidia screw gamers.... Of course Nvidia didn't want these new 8GB cards for reviews. Yup, the 8GB ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Prime OC cost $458 without tax here home. Or $571,98 USD with the obligatory 25% tax. This for brand new 8GB graphics cards. And that one isn't the most expensive you find here. The ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti TUF - 8GB cost wopping $620 with tax. Nasty. Or better say scam. And why brand it RTX and not GTX ? The new 8GB cards isn't usuful for Ray tracing with modern games.

Nice seeing good old quality still offer best value. And no trash connector on the PSU panel. Best of both worlds. Maybe no one should buy newest tech? Keep what you already have or try the used market (you can always find some ok'ish deals). But one thing for sure... Even an small tariff bethween US and China trade will make PC components more expensive... Years forwards. And as always... New added tax isn't easy to get rid off. And tax isn't inflation. That will come on top. For everyone around the world. AMD's Radeon 9070 XT is great, but I still wouldn't buy a new GPU Logitech prices are increasing by as much as 25%, and they're not alone I have never seen Zotac fail so hard with their newest GPU flagship... Previous flagship from Zotac come with triple 110mm large cooling fans. I just can't grasp the reason for going with 3 tiny small 95 mm fans for a card that now max out the 12V-2x6 connector. Newer has to be better. Always. GeForce RTX 5090 Custom review: ZOTAC RTX 5090 AMP Extreme Infinity

Here is I hear bro @jaybee83 Only buy cards if it looks good in your box. Hence he went with Supriiiiim🤩

People are sick of the prices. $3000+ for graphics cards (you don't use it for work) is awful. Of course 2000$ cards from Nvidia is tempting. And Nvidia know it. The perfect price point for futher scalping (move cards over to China).

Same as with the 40 series... If you find an FE at $2000 you get your money back. The only nice with this disaster. Bro Fox going with cheaper Radeon XT he got his value. Because this newer from nvidia is awful reading.

It's a about feelings. Not many here home so the prices is awful high. The cards is very rare. So it has to be top quality. I would like a FE but for MSRP. Not a dime above. But not in a small chassis. They cook there. In my big black box they could at least breath. Right in time for 5090🙂

The trend....

Newer has to be better. Always bro @Mr. Fox New Nvidia drivers improve performance in benchmarks, but crashes and gaming issues remain Up to 8% better performance in 3DMark Steel Nomad If the new crashes are widespread, they represent a potentially serious setback to Nvidia's efforts to fight bugs that first emerged with the RTX 50 series launch. For months, users have reported frequent game crashes and instances where Windows boots into a black screen after installing drivers intended for the new GPUs. See also my previous post below....
