The normie sheeple and ignoramus population has become so vast and prevalent the OEMs no longer give a rat's butt about enthusiast money because they don't need to. We no longer matter. There are no customers, only victims. Clueless morons pay asinine prices for things they know nothing about, and they do it with a smile. They believe all the ads they read, all the lies their "friends" on Facepoot and Reddtit tell them, and all of the disinformation they watch on the "news" so is it any wonder that clowns like A$$zeus behave as if they have a license for sodomy? We have both to blame: the stupid sheeple and the shifty thugs peddling grossly overpriced, misrepresented and overhyped crap.

 

But we also know when rallied they can make a difference. Look at the de-prioritization of 8GB 5060/9060 cards due to lack of sales and more focus on the 16gb models.

 

Look at prices falling (for now) for sub 5090 cards.

 

Look how the market shifted away from Intel to AMD.

 

Many of those decisions (and more) were consciously made by consumers even normies.

 

If they could stop just shrugging their shoulders and locking onto RGB and aesthetically pleasing things and focus on the hardware and capability/functionality but I don't think we're ever going to be there because most end users don't care about any of that. They just want to plug in and get going and if problems arise they track down peeps that are like us in this thread.

 

The A$$zeus license comment made me lol btw..... 🤣

 

-----------------------

 

@jaybee83 confirmed working on the Suprim Air by two users who have flashed it and it's working as intended.

 

 

 

So far, it appears higher voltage card users that had higher ranges but the 600w limit kept them lower are experiencing increases in voltage to go along with their newfound 200w of power. On the other hand, if your card is mid or lower and already bouncing off that vmax as is at 600w, you won't suddenly open up more voltage but that 200w will still give you a nice, healthy kick.

 

List so far of cards not working with it:

 

Asus Astral 5090 Black

Asus Astral 5090 LC Black

Asus TUF

Suprim Liquid

5090 FE (duh)

 

Ironically, the revamped design of the Astral white 5090 does work with it.....so clearly not done out of maliciousness but a byproduct of the fan design.

 

Haven't seen the Zotac 5090 AIO tested along with a few other cards yet but the vast majority are able to run it.

 

Someone in Asus won't walk right after they are separated from their keister for letting this slip out as is and not differentiating power detection properly.

Have you identified anyone that owns a Zotac 5090 AIO version? I haven't gone looking but I don't recall seeing anyone in the forum at oc.net that has one. In general, I do not want an AIO GPU, (or CPU AIO,) but definitely think it is better than air. I do not care for the appearance of most of the AIO cooled GPUs. I think most of them are pretty garish-looking and I do not like the short and stubby look. At least the water blocked GPUs are not nearly as short and stubby as the OEM AIO models.

Actually, it is one of the few cards I have never seen owned by anyone out in the wild. It may be quite some time before we know if it works with the 800w vbios or not.....

Not sure I even will buy next gen graphics cards. Probably more locked down and we have Nvidia surfing on an AI bubble. Everything is messed up in the tech world. More broken trash and all too expensive for my likings.

Btw. Nvidia have done a great job for repair shops

 

Fixed thousands of melted connectors. NorthridgeFix should send Nvidia an huge thanks, LOL

One thing for sure... You will see less Asus cards in 6090 series thread on OC.net.

 

Edit. What I expect from Asus now... A new firmware for Matrix that lock you to 600W with use of only one power connector. They missed on this. I expect it will be fixed (sarcasm).

Jury is still out whether I like 3DvCache. The 9950X3D that I RMA'd was such a pathetic silicon sample that it wasn't fair to draw any conclusions based on what a piece of garbage it was. I'm leaning toward either not liking it or viewing it as an irrelevant selling point/gimmick. (I'm a casual gamer, not a gaming enthusiast, and it seems to provide no tangible benefit for an overclocking enthusiasts.)

 

Not only Asus can make dog-shit. What Asus and AMD have common... The first letter (A).
