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).

Nice. And not even the Gold Edition of 5080. Yup, Dom 5080 now at 5090 prices. Tempting bro @Mr. Fox? But if you dont like the game, maybe a vanilla 5080 Astral at sub $1700 looking better? Asus RTX 5080 Doom-inspired GPU costs as much as an RTX 5090

Hmmm. Very dry but still leak out from the card once the temps go up (vertical mount). Will the Gigabyte mods (shills) put up a Putty leak Megatread? And will Gigabyte accept it ? Or can it further destoy Gigabyte's reputation? China is a huge market for 5090(D). This could mean better availability of 5090's in other regions. Because around 30% of all made xx90(D) will be removed from the China market. And less shortage means more normal prices as well. Or Nvidia's partners will reduce the production to keep up highest possible ASP. NVIDIA RTX 5090D Rumored To Get Nerfed To Just 14,080 CUDA Cores, RTX 5080 Ti/Super Expected To Release At The End Of 2025

Is this real? Almost $1400 USD for one day in Disney park with your fam. See the whole video. @Mr. Fox @electrosoft +++

Nice. Expect lower performance even up to 14th gen Intel Core processors. Me upgrading firmware? Nope. I'm still on the older 9905. And if the processor die or degrade I just ask for a new one. Or my money back. Maybe Gigabyte should deny repair/RMA if you confirm to them that you have used your GPU in vertical mount?😁 Remember Gigabyte is damn happy to use their stickers with the fat big red arrow stamped.

Nice. Spectre CPU bug returns to haunt Intel processors again. Expect lower performance even with 14th gen Intel Core processors. New Intel CPU flaws leak sensitive data from privileged memory The firmware-level mitigations introduce a 2.7% performance overhead, while software mitigations have a performance impact between 1.6% and 8.3%, depending on the CPU.

Gigabyte said just clean it off. Sure, maybe do it weekly as a part of the maintenance/check for signs of melted trash connectors. In the end it will be no more putty on the components. This will hunt Gigabyte's reputation and RMA cost will increase within the cards support warranty period (Gigabyte offer 4 years if you register your card). Good they have larger margins due disgusting prices above MSRP. Yep, cost saving on the paste, gel and the job will in the end cost them more than what they saved/jacked up prices. Payback time for greed. And sad for the owners that need to send in their cards for RMA due badly executed job on the thermal concept (again due greed) on overpriced graphics cards. Gigabyte leaky GPU problem continues, here's the thermal putty creep in action Gigabyte's so-called "Server-Grade Thermal Conductive Gel" and a degrading thermal paste on the RX 9070 Gaming OC | Test Lab Finally, there's the bitter aftertaste that Gigabyte apparently prefers to bask in the comforting haze of buzzy buzzwords like "server-grade thermal conductive gel" instead of simply developing a well-thought-out overall thermal concept. The fact that they opted for viscous paste with questionable long-term performance instead of proven PTM pads, precisely where thermomechanical stability is essential—namely, directly on the sensitive GPU die—seems not only unwise but almost cynical in retrospect.

As long Nvidia's ceo Jensen can continue feed China with graphics cards, then expect higher prices for next gen cards. And be you sure, Nvidia won't stop their practice/let their partners do whatever they want. None can stop China from get what they want. Just see the link below. GPU imports to Malaysia surge by 3,400% in 2025, raising alarm amid smuggling investigations

Yup. New small features to increase sales of newer and more expensive products. Gigabyte incorporates 64MB BIOS chip on X870 motherboard to integrate the WiFi driver Maybe Microsofts next hardware requirements.... And you pay premium for an feature you don't want. This makes it easier for you to create a Microsoft account for the first time. Here, you can see why it was almost empty for 5090's globally and at awful high prices.... Nvidia and their partners feeded China with loads of cards... Perfect if you want to increase profits and make shortage. Same as with the miner boom. And I'm sure they shipped out the 5090's for the better paying customer before release. For example, the high-priced RTX 50 series is in short supply. When the RTX 5090 was launched globally at the beginning of the year, it was snapped up at a marked-up price. In particular, AI chip buyers from China bought it as soon as it was available without asking the price. As a result, the channel price of the RTX 5090 doubled from the launch price of approximately NT$80,000 at the time. And now Nvidia want you to pay even more... Becaue they need too keep up their high profits margins. NVIDIA reportedly raises GPU prices by 10-15% as manufacturing costs surge — tariffs and TSMC price hikes filter down to retailers

Congrats. But why not wait for the cheaper RX 9060 XT @8GB Edition? Brand new and no one have touched it before you😀 Even the 16GB Edition will be cheaper than your Gigabyte 9070xt open box. And you don't need more than three Display Outputs (because the Navi 44’s primary purpose is for mobile graphics, which means it has a limited display engine). But you get an single 8-pin Power Connector. The best of both worlds... You get mobile hardware in desktop clothes. Can't be better. Radeon RX 9060 XT cards spotted on Amazon for $450 and up

Hmmm. The Gold OC Edition is close to $8000 and not the much cheaper $5600 price point. I wonder if more expensive will give you more value for your hard earned money. The more you pay the more you save.
