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....

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.
