I'm still tripping out on the voltage. it's 1.110V! So a shunt mod would actually do this card justice or an unlocked power mod PNY vbios. I had not seen any other card with a voltage that high before.

That's excellent. If it's 1.100V without even using the 100mV slider that is very good news, especially if using it takes it up to 1.200V. The 4090 Suprim and Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC are both 1.100V max with the extra 100mV, which isn't enough.

I don't mind a game having options available to use a controller. I know some people prefer that and I'm okay with whatever floats their boat. Gaming should be done in whatever matter the gamer wants it. What I don't like is having no controller connected and being forced to work my way through configuration menus that assume I have a controller attached even though I don't, and all of the on screen action prompts show me controller buttons to press even though no controller is attached. There are a lot of console games ported to PC that don't have that kind of a shortcoming.

That's awesome brother @johnksss I'm super glad to hear that you're pleased. 

 

PNY has my attention and I expect to see great things develop with their brand with Vince involved. If given the chance I'm pretty sure he's going to take them to greatness like he did with EVGA 

 

 

IIRC there are options for that in the settings.

Without the slider, its 1.085V and with slider, it's 1.110V

And my PCIE slot voltage and 16-Pin voltage go no lower than 12.1. While my other card dipped in the 11.8 to 11.9 range.

Please be a good card.😂

That’s really good! Which card is this?
 

I would absolutely shunt the card. I went with the 1.5 Ohm 3 watt resistor for my FE from mouser. The stock FE has a single 1 ohm resistor, so stacking 1.5 ohm on top will give me 1,050 watts not counting the PCIe slot power. Bitspower may or may not be sending me a GPU block for testing. Fingers crossed.🤞 I’ve been bugging them to death so we’ll see what happens. 
 

The 5090 even shunted is going to chow down 900+ watts even with lower voltages. These cards are throttling hard though man. The biggest issue is the internal clock that is actually running. The cards are reflecting a higher clock speed externally, but it’s really running much slower than that effectively. It’s like a rubber band effect to prevent crashing due to power limits. So shunting will eliminate this entirely!

Before I can get to shutting it it has to be a good card to work with. And right now it's hard to say as at stock it's pulling 630W

Well, I’d look at undervolting to give you an idea. It could be pulling more just due to a higher default voltage curve and that’s making it seem like it’s using much more power. Is this a PNY RGB OC model? What was wrong with the Trio you got?

That's what im trying to do right now, but voltage seems to be all over the place...

 

Edit:

It's the the Epic RGB OC model. And the Gaming trio someone who could not get a card bought it off me.

I can’t believe we have an Oblivion remastered in 2025 on PC it has RT/FG/DLSS support lol! Just came out today on game pass. I remember struggling to run this one smoothly at 20-30fps with my GeForce 6600GT. I was running 1280x1024. 
 

I ended up beating Oblivion on a ATI X850 Pro that was flashed to an X850XT bios via floppy disc lol.

Hoping it's a banger @johnksss, but then again with your past work on so-so/average hardware.....

I knew your Founders stood no chance of staying in its pristine condition! 🤣

 

Like I said many days ago when you were just talking about adding pads or something along those lines....

 

"and it starts." 😁

 

Definitely can't wait to see it shunt modded and blocked bro!

I haven’t seen any issues with the latest drivers. I use my PC for 8 hours a day a least. I’m not sure what the deal is. Latest driver seems fine, it reduced idle clocks even further down to 22Mhz from 180Mhz. I’m not really checking any fps differences in games, maybe I should I suppose. I saw a slight improvement in Steel Nomad. Card can still reach max 1075mv. Temps sensor seems to work okay as well. I have never experienced black screens, if I add like +475 you will get a black screen from a crash. But other than that the drivers seem perfectly fine.

welp thats the sucky thing, it was can you out of nowhere, even if u had no issues beforehand whatsoever. im happily chugging along on 572.83 while others are crash n burning on it 😄 shouldnt be this way...this is not the way

My last driver 572.83 definitely needed a hard reset to recover from. 

 

really sounds more and more like its driver-related then. was the hard reset overclocking related?

Thank you @Mr. Fox ! Package arrived safe and sound and it up and running like a champ!

 

Okay, so i ended up selling my Gaming Trio 5090 to one of my customers and grabbed this PNY Epic from Microcenter a little while ago. And I must say i was quite surprised at it's stock bios settings.

duuuuude, that card looks crazy! mine only does 1.01V at stock with clocks around 2825 Mhz, with voltage slider maxed it goes up to 1.025V 😄 those voltages are insane! ive only seen maybe 1-2 other cards that can break through 1.1V, u definitely have a special one there. 3000+ Mhz at stock, crazy...

 

and yes ive noticed the same, voltages are all over the place, heavily depending on what ure running and even fluctuate wildly during sessions / bench runs. thats even the case if the power limit hasnt even been reached yet. not sure whats going on, hope this is smth that can be rectified with drivers / vbios updates....

 

overall, its total chaos when it comes to clocks and voltages, every card is so different among 5090s, both in wattage/clocks/voltage, way more variance than with the 4090.

 

those 630W, are those transient spikes or peak load? i might have to give your vbios a go, pls share with the class! 😄 

 

keep us in the loop on your findings, highly interested 🙂

I really wanted my whole system to be watercooled when I was building this rig and I had kinda prepped with the 4090. We just don’t have any blocks yet for FE models. So, I had already ordered my Fujipoly fullcover rear thermal pad (Originally for the 4090 never used it) but now I’ve ordered some shunts, but I can’t add any of these items until I get a waterblock. FE blocks are taking a little longer than the other models, but they’re coming. I’m really curious what the Bitspower block will even look like.

Banger of a card @johnksss especially if you block it.

 

My Astral is in the neighborhood but your clocks are the chef's kiss! Mine is clocking very nicely, so I know yours is going to go to that next level especially if you block it and shunt/XOC it.

 

 

(FYI, this is my first time punching either boost lock or voltage slider)

 

Stock boost lock:

 

 

voltage slider in "fun times" mode:

Do you plan on getting a block though? Are you going to shunt first and run it on the stock HSF? It's gonna kill me seeing you tear it apart especially as I'm sitting here showing my buddy over FT how quiet a FE CAN be with the 5080 FE.
