Just the normal. With AI taking +30% of all coding at M$ you cannot expect any better. What happens if they increase it to 50% or further ? https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/08/20/microsoft-is-investigating-windows-11-kb5063878-ssd-data-corruption-failure-issue/ https://www.guru3d.com/story/phison-controller-ssd-failures-due-to-windows-11-24h2-cumulative-update/ Microsoft admits it broke “Reset this PC” in Windows 11 23H2 KB5063875, Windows 10 KB5063709 And the AI stupidity continue. Would you pay for it? https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/08/22/windows-11s-microsoft-edge-wants-you-to-pay-20-for-an-ai-feature-that-summarizes-browsing-activity/

I don't trust Asus. 4090 Matrix also had bare copper cold plate. Stupids. Only to upsell a new MB. Greedy bastards. The card should have at least 1200w vbios. This due double connectors. If they dont trust the cooling capacity they could have it 800w as now but with an functional power slider up to 1200W. The whole package is half baked.

At least 2 flaws here. If not 3 or 4. The proprietary second power connector and not nickelplated cold plate for Liquid metal. And what with the prices? $4000 or higher? Asus just can't sell this card below $4500... Or can they? And what with an 2000w XOC vbios for everyone? Too much to ask for?

Thanks to you all. God bless I have such good friends. The life is empty with out you all. Im blessed🥰

Also worth to mention for that trash connector. All 12v pins getting burnt. Not one or two as we have seen. Every damn pin change from yellow to brown/black and expose melted pins. So this one is special in every ways😎

Hmmm. Equal disgusting as the Yelowish dongle. Maybe pair the Yelowish golden dongle from MSI with the Asus Gold edition cards?🤢 What a combo. Worst from both worlds.

Meta under fire over AI rules that allow romantic roleplay with children and false medical advice AI chatbots producing inappropriate and inaccurate content. How much should Meta been finds? 100 billions? And same time being fully closed at least 1 month. This is perverse. And some will lose money.... Loads of money. Sam Altman says investors are acting irrational in a booming AI bubble "Someone is going to lose a phenomenal amount of money" Even to a non-investor, it is clear that we are in the middle of a massive AI bubble. It is not a matter of if it will burst, but when.

I Would be sure i have spare cards if using that defective yelowish dongle from MSI. Put it back in the package while you can😁 Even CM's custom cables looks like an okish option compared to that failure from MSI. @ajc9988 @Prema Looked into the thread a week ago. Tagged now, so.. Well see. Yup, Asus is greedy bastards. If they can, they pump up the prices to max. And even further https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-rog-astral-rtx-5080-dhahab-edition-appears-in-dubai-at-2589

Hi. The old man enjoy the sun. 32-34C in the days. But for now I can handle it😁 This is not nice. Intel struggle selling processors for gamers. And they still don't want to support slightly older processors from 12-13th gen. Nothing different than the greedy company Nvidia. Their focus is on current and next gen processors. https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-to-keep-application-optimization-apo-alive-but-focus-shifts-to-current-and-next-gen-cpus

Stupids!!!! @Mr. Fox This is is why US digging their own grave. Greed and stupidity!!!! So sad* Why can't US serve themselves? The university and school system is collapsed. They rely on Chinese engineering today. What a failure. Disgusting how this being introduced. Even US gov adm fail hard. Greed? Give everything to China. Even their soul. What a leadership🤢 Im sure this will bite them in th back. Also the old man, the so called leader of the free world need to resign when the Intel ceo get the boot. Stupids!!! https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/intel-ceo-lip-bu-tan-has-become-a-lightning-rod-of-controversy-in-the-semiconductor-market-amid-geopolitical-tensions-heres-why Im outside Africa now. Let me get som sun we don't have in the cold and rainy North. 26-27C and im happy🤩

Yup.I can almost see @jaybee83 push frenetic on the refresh button on day one😁 Me... Know prices here dont change much the first 5 weeks. Take it calm boys and girls. And if you want or prefer Asus.... Not much to gain if you find a card within 3 weeks. Only luck of draw on an open box for a better deal. Day one or within 4 weeks and you are good to go. Extra good time if you are an scalper. . Bro @Mr. Foxdon't play newest Battlefield due forced Secure Boot.

Sell your own homelands national security for a few $$$ is quite disgusting. This isn't much better than outsourcing jobs to your enemies homeland to maximize profits. This is so sad. First you bash the business leaders for maximizing profits from outsourcing jobs (crying in news), claims security then will be a problem. Then follow up afterwards in this retarded way and remove the US chips ban for a few dollars in revenue. I haven't words. This is just sad. Again read the letter... Where some begs for continuing the chips ban... Letter-to-Secretary-Lutnick-on-H20-restrictions.pdf I really hope this is fake and not real. If it's real.... Greed have no limits anymore. Maybe put with a gold stitchy letter from the Gov adm blessing China for buying US made tech? Yep, do that. Maybe China will buy more instead of smuggling in US made tech. Nvidia and AMD will reportedly pay 15% of their Chinese revenue to the US government so they can sell AI-capable chips there, despite warnings from security experts A Commerce Department adviser for the Biden administration, Alasdair Phillips-Robins, was quoted by Reuters as saying, "If this reporting is accurate, it suggests the administration is trading away national security protections for revenue for the Treasury". Yup, Dell Alienware nailed it for me🙂 Nope all the way. The closest I will buy such type tech... A new smartphone or tablet. My best guess... A new smartphone that works better than the trashphone I already have. For the pict lover😀 Me making ready for our 1 months summer vaccation outside Africa. We leave the cold and rainy North tomorrow. Sadly it's a heat wave down there now. And will probably be like this one more week. Yesterday it was 44C and quite humid with Calima as the cherry on top (not good for my broken lungs)😒 So not the normal weather. The normal is more like 26-27C and always sunny days and rarely above 30C. Oh'well can't have it all and the same all days. What did he think when he know the 5090s is 600W cards? Edit, yet again the Nvidia reps removed the OP post. Awful

Many ways to use AI bro @Mr. Fox🥴 Gigabyte says ‘pay smarter’ and promotes Z890 & i5-14600K bundle LOL. The more they improve the better it will be😀 For my US friends. You need to learn the new name for the State you live in. What you have learned before is so damn wrong, LOL

This one is meant to be best I think. But the AIO version screw up fan control... https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/277257/277257 But the Stupids at Gigabyte offer several versions of same firmware version number (the hashes ain't equal). https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-nvidia-rtx-5090-owners-club.1814246/post-29492089 Next gen and nvidia and their AIB parntners will continue lock down for cross-flashing. Thats how they bin their different cards tiers forwards. Slight better firmware for maximizing profits. The firmware will be the golden cow. Slap on a $30 better cooler and a bit more tuned firmware and charge 200-300 USD for almost nothing in increased cost. Greedy bastards. When Astral SKUs don't offer max profits... Asus find their way out of the dark and launch the Noctua Edition. ASUS RTX 5080 NOCTUA GPU costs £1500: ASUS’ most expensive RTX 5080 yet

Congrats. I have posted about Zotac's flagship. Use of 95mm fans is quite stupid/special when you design a 600W card and in the size it is. Air cooled card shouldn't have baby fans🙂 Here's my old post from April 21... And read the whole review. Short summed up... 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. And their touch vbios switch button works/functionality and looks is awkward/stupid. At least Zotac offer some sorts of dual vbios compared to the stupids at Gigabyte that skipped dual vbios completely for their top tier Aorus AIO/WB 5090 flagships. They meant it wasn't needed for those type graphics cards🙄 Me thinking rather for cost savings for a +++$3300 graphics cards.

You are dumb if you think nvidia and Jensen Huang don't know that many of their GPUs going into China. See many of my older posts. @Rage Set only stupid's don't know how China works. And how tied it is with nvidia. The chip ban doesn't work if the manufacturer and their partners can simply raise the middle finger to the government without it getting consequences... Nice. The US Government now resume serving China with AI chips. Why not let China also have access to 5090 and not the AI castrated 5090D ? Maybe let nvidia also offer 3GB vram so they can use gamer cards for their AI server parks. Sad seeing such weak OS Gov administration. China don't need help from smugglers anymore. Just call Jensen Huang and he take care of the business as usual. Just visit the White House🥴 Open up the Pandora's box what the previous admin closed down to protect the free world, just shows that they don't take the threat that seriously. So let them (China, Russia and so on) have everything they need/want from Nvidia, AMD and Intel. So just stop this nonsense as ban, open, lock down, open and so on.... This is a Joke. And this is the real leader in the US.... As we all can see. NVIDIA’s H20 AI Chips Reportedly See ‘Green Light’ From Trump Administration for Export to China After Jensen’s Recent Visit to The White House Now that the H20 AI chips are starting to flow into China, it's likely that NVIDIA will rely on them until year-end before introducing newer solutions such as the Blackwell B20 or the RTX 6000D GPUs for the domestic markets.

Nice with a clutter free OS🤢 Windows 11 Start menu’s OneDrive backup nagging won’t stop, as it pushes Microsoft 365

Microsoft give a damn what you or other think they should do. This is Microsoft requirements for the offer of free 1 year of security updates for Windows 10. Give us all your data and privacy even if you pay and your old Windows OS is safe the next 12-15 months. Great trade? Stupids. Microsoft says that the ESU is tied to your Microsoft account. Windows 10 extended security updates now require a Microsoft account

ChatGPT vulnerability allows hidden prompts to steal Google Drive cloud data A single "poisonous" document can cause massive damage....... Chatbots and other AI services are increasingly making life easier for cybercriminals. A recently disclosed attack demonstrates how ChatGPT can be exploited to steal API keys and other sensitive data stored on popular cloud platforms.

Microsoft is very keen to get hands on all your data/privacy. Ready to give them everything bro @Mr. Fox ? Windows 10 extended security updates now require a Microsoft account One license covers ten devices, but a Microsoft account is mandatory Microsoft has clarified the details of its Extended Security Updates initiative for Windows 10, announcing that every enrollment method – whether paid or free – now requires users to sign in with a Microsoft Account. This move applies to all pathways, including the straightforward $30 purchase, redeeming Microsoft Rewards points, or enrolling via OneDrive settings backup.

Asus premium is awful. But they ain't alone scam you. They are just the worst company of them all. Look at this madness... Not that nvidia is much better going from $1000 to $2000 USD within 4 gen graphics cards. What to expect in the future from Nvidia and their AIB partners.... Cross flashing will fade away to justify the price premium. But look at the price premium for custom 5090 over previous gen custom 4090s. With the huge price premium over MSRP cards then expect cross flashing of firmware won't last forever. This loophole will be properly plugged. That's their (nvidia with their partners) next goal for their paying customers screwed. Firmware is their "golden ticket" for higher premium. Older Intel Raptor lake is still an good option for newer games. But the old Intel use a lot power😀

Microsoft getting help from game devs to throw fully functioning hardware to the landfill. How much did Redmond HQ pay them for this? Call of Duty Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 Confirmed to Require Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 Both the upcoming online multiplayer shooters, "Call of Duty Black Ops 7" and "Battlefield 6," will feature anti-cheat and DRM measures that require Secure Boot. Activision, in a blog post on its Ricochet Anti-Cheat mechanism, confirmed that it will be a system requirement for the PC platform to have Secure Boot enabled, in addition to features such as a TPM 2.0 compatible hardware root of trust, including support for PCRs, sealing and binding. This would be the standard security policy for a fresh installation of Windows 11 24H2. Unlike "Battlefield 6," the latest "Call of Duty" doesn't seem to call for Virtualization-based Security (VBS) to be enabled. It's not just "Black Ops 7," even the current "Call of Duty Black Ops 6" starting with its Season 5 update, and "Warzone," will begin enforcing these new system requirements, since Activision will be updating the Ricochet Anti-Cheat component of those games.
