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....

I have said this before. More than one time. Asia and China have above 1/3d of the whole tech market. Everyone know where the graphics cards going. And if they want to stop Nvidia, AMD and Intel they need to stop sell their product in these markets. That means much higher prices forwards for everyone. Intel is already close to be closed... If this is what US prefer then expect same fait for the other tech companies using western tech. They all will increase the prices. Cut the die in 1/4 and everyone will be happy. 5070 class card for everyone. Almost as in old Soviet. Maybe we should make one size fit all graphics cards, drinks, dinners and deserts? Not hot desert bur sweet desert. Imagine how many xx90 cards will go/get around the US ban. And imagine the prices people need to pay for one. xx90 cards gan be a good investment the next 2-3 years. AIB partners told by NVIDIA to stop selling GeForce RTX 5090D in China, new GPU ban expected https://www.tweaktown.com/news/104691/aib-partners-told-by-nvidia-to-stop-selling-geforce-rtx-5090d-in-china-new-gpu-ban-expected/index.html

With the good coolers there is no point go for undervolt as long you are happy with the noise level. You won't get maximum performance with undervolting 5090s.

$1700. That s above MSRP 2.5 years ago. Awful times if you want to play games. 5080 at MSRP is probably better if you can find one and don't need the 24GB vram buffer for other tasks.

Nope. And not sure I can or will. My shaky hands and the warranty is important in the used market. $3500 USD is a lot money for a retired man. Hope I with time can get an unlocked vbios. Yup, Intel is in trouble. Not the best product with latest gen, problems with previous gen 13/14th gen + tariff war on top can be too much. Lag behind in AI is also a drawback. This is like pee in the water. Won't help much. Intel begins selling "IPO-Optimized" PCs in China with up to 10% extra CPU performance with OC and patches How can Intel build trust with how they treat their customers? Release a disaster then move over to next and hope for the best. LGA1954 in, LGA1851 out. 1851 have been a disaster both for Intel and their customers that pay for it.. Intel's next-gen Nova Lake CPUs will seemingly use a new LGA1954 socket https://wccftech.com/intel-nova-lake-s-desktop-cpus-feature-support-new-lga-1954-socket/ Thanks for the info. I can clearly see not everything is functional in US right now. Egg prices are too low. That can't be correct, but who knows. There is always a reason people don't buy or can't buy. Either are the prices too high or there is lack of what they want. Can of course be both.

Congrats. Only one left, wow. Is there still problem get 5090's in US ? And what did you pay? Not sure what extra tariff/or tax you pay in California. Isn't it different from State to state?

If Nvidia run into problems serving China with real AI server chips... What is better than sell 5090(D) chips and vram for workstations/mini AI accelerators for the China market? This will also benefits Nvidia's partners to keep up highest possible ASP for 5090 Geforce gamer cards. Blower-style RTX 5090D leaked on Bilibili — two-slot GPU design built for AI rigs The Chinese market will likely be looking forward to the appearance of the blower-style 5090D. This would allow smaller firms to gain access to relatively capable hardware without dropping huge amounts on the most advanced GPUs they can get from the black market, or the China-specific Nvidia H20 and AMD MI308 GPUs, which were recently cut off by the U.S. government. Nvidia vows to continue making products for Chinese market In fact, it is completely unclear how Nvidia plans to 'optimize' its GPUs for the Chinese market from mid-May and onwards as the new export rules prohibit selling American AI GPUs to adversary countries like China and Russia. Nonetheless, it looks like Huang's company is trying to find a solution.

And Nvidia continue with buggy broken drivers. Confirmed by nvidia themself. Weird that a pure software company does worse with it's drivers vs when Nvidia was a real hardware manufacturer. Maybe because they rely more on AI software to tweak their drivers? New is always better, LOL

Maybe you should jump on it😁 Because you never know where the tariff will lands. All depends on how good Nvidia's Ceo Jensen is in the corruption game. You need good friends to make big money as you know. Those with enough money pay to play whatever the tariff will lands. Paying 245% above MSRP isn't a problem if you have the money. But it will become more expensive to be poor. Even for the average taxpayers. US government confirms 245% tariff on select Chinese imports The United States and China are engaging in a tit-for-tat trade war, and currently, Chinese goods are facing a 145% additional fee when they enter the US, but the White House just confirmed that's not the total, as the tariff can reach up to 245% Lawmakers demand answers from Nvidia over suspected GPU diversions to China, company denies any wrongdoing Massive 366% chip shipment surge to Malaysia amid increased Nvidia AI GPU smuggling curbs, ahead of looming sectoral tariffs How much are you willing to overpay for the 5090? And gamers on the green side should be happy their expencive graphics cards works at all... Amazing the reviewers didn't see more problems with 5000 series than what they already experienced. NVIDIA releases massive GPU driver update addressing stability and black screen issues Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Review The GeForce brand has eroded over these past generations to the point where we're now dealing with broken ray tracing promises for the masses, fake frames, and even faker MSRPs. It might sound harsh, but it's the reality: the GeForce 50 series has been one of the worst GPU generations we can remember. Can it be worse? Yup.

LOL. Everything has it's price. But you don't pay for your own stupidity. You got it for free🙂 Gigascam at +$850. Btw. Zero 5060Ti cards for sale here home. But not listed with prices as this disaster. Tragic. GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Listings Flood Ebay, Prices Will Make You Laugh Or Cry

Some prefer better custom design over performance. Or maybe they think more vram will provide more performance? Is more always more?🤔 Some RTX 5060 Tis sell for more than RTX 5070s! As for the RTX 5060 Ti, the cards were launched yesterday afternoon. However, as is often the case, things are going in all directions on the premium card side . Indeed, some references sell for more than the higher-class GPU . Yes, you read that right, RTX 5060 Tis sell for more than some RTX 5070s! Does smaller PCB reduce the costs? And will chopped of pcie fingers save the card from bending and cracking the PCB? Me thinking this cute card need to be bending proof😂 You need to be quite clumsy if you are able to crack this Gigabyte board. Does this Gpu need support bracket? 🤐 https://www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/65938-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-mit-16-gb-im-test.html

Happy Easter holidays my friends🙂 RTX 4090 returned to eBay seller with GPU and VRAM chips missing

Not sure what I will say to this. If Benchmate ain't enough for hwbot... What shall I do? Go for 4th place? Or ask for free hardware and fab custom firmware?🧐 Maybe sign up as elite. But they prefer play alone in their own playard. So forget it.. They don't allow vanilla benchers. Better get a life @Rage Set https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/gpupi_v3.3_-_32b/submissions/5821316

Dang. Asus going cheapo. I wonder what 5060Ti Astral would cost if they made them in that Sku. Only $599.99. My best guess would be $660 as stated before. https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/all-series/filter?Category=NVIDIA&SubSpec=376554 ASUS GeForce RTX 5060 Ti TUF OC 16 GB Review with pure rasterization, without ray tracing or DLSS, we measured a 13% performance uplift over the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, which is quite small. Thanks to its factory overclock, the ASUS TUF OC gains an extra 4% in real-life performance over the base RTX 5060 Ti, which is small, but every bit helps of course. Competing cards achieve similar performance levels, with all cards hitting +3% or +4. While ASUS ignored multiple requests for pricing, now we know why, the card is listed for $600 on Newegg, which makes it $170 more expensive than the baseline MSRP, or +40%. In return, you do get a fantastic cooler with excellent fan settings that result in very little noise. Look for the used market. I'm sure you find something for your need for much lower prices.

You ain't a kid anymore bro. You are starting to grow up😁 @Mr. Fox RGB puke is awful. And the same can be said about the baby cores and no HT. Intel can't grasp see the reality. But lower sales and market shares means less spending on TSMC wafers. A big win for intel? E-cores and the loss of hyperthreading aren't helping Intel win any future gaming crowns. As games become ever more multithreaded, Intel's hybrid CPU design might start to lag behind AMD's simpler but more effective architecture This is laughable... MSI want $590 USD for RTX 5060Ti. With or with out the tariff? Hmmm. @electrosoft said MSI offer premium for lower prices... Will we see Asus break the $650 price level for their best 5060Ti custom card? https://us-store.msi.com/Graphics-Cards/NVIDIA-GPU/GeForce-RTX-50-Series/GeForce-RTX-5060-Ti-16G-VANGUARD-SOC And the 8GB cards for $470. This start to be perverse. https://us-store.msi.com/Graphics-Cards/NVIDIA-GPU/RTX-5060Ti/GeForce-RTX-5060-Ti-8G-GAMING-TRIO-OC-WHITE?sort=p.price&order=DESC
