MSI 5090 installed. Still a chonker, but a $2k chonker vs a super $3.6k chonker.

 

MSI 5080 Shadow 3x OC vs MSI 5090 Ventus 3x OC....

 

 

 

Installed:

 

 

No coil whine again. I'm now convinced the Tripp-Lite surge protector + filter along with the EVGA 1600w P2 is helping. The odds of scoring what is quickly approaching 15 cards in a row on this setup tested not having coil whine or anything of note starting with the KPE 3090ti would have to be an incredible string of luck.

 

If I want to close the case back up, I'm going to have to plug back in the lower 3x120mm and install 140mm fans back on the top to keep the airflow going properly.

The new zone in WoW for the Xpac that dropped 10 days ago is brutal. It hits the 5090 harder than any other zone I've seen so far and immediately caps it to 100% utilization zoning in and getting about 130fps pure stock

 

For reference the 5080 was getting about 81fps in the same spot overclocked (+300 / +3000)

 

This is 4k Ultra 10 RT High (which is basically max everything)

 

 

 

Did you plug the 5090 into your computer or did you plug the computer into the GPU? It's funny to think back to my old voodoo 3 3000 and then see this.

 

Also cleaning up the input wave form or even just changing it a bit can impact the harmonics you will get through the different conversions in the system so that's very believable.

Asus being A$$us is still stuck on $3359.99 and $3719.99 for their Astral Air and AIO models......

They will always be A$$zeus, the god of a$$ 😆 and the wearers of golden a$$hat$

 

I am to the point of not liking any of the options in the tech space... everything blows now...

 

• Intel walked away from a position of untouchable dominance and has lost their way
• AMD still sucks but is the lesser of two evils and the shinier object on account of the above
• NVIDIA is the king of tech slime that will miss no opportunity to screw those that made them famous
• Overclocking is a dying sport because the crap they are all producing is grossly overpriced, misrepresented, crippled and poorly engineered trash with inconsistent/non-existent QC
• Micro$lop hasn't done anything right since Windows 7 and modern Windoze OSes are merely digital bait... they don't care about piracy and they promote the theft of their OS because it helps them steal our infinitely more valuable data to use as they see fit... as prophesied in their unread EULA docs
• crApple has always been trash... particularly loved by elitist sheeple with low tech IQ and no awareness that their own poop smells bad... their OSes steal data as well, but they expect their users to pay for the data theft conduit rather than facilitating the taking of it for free like Micro$lop 
• Google is the king of surveillance and the world's foremost resource for the proliferation of disinformation and agenda-driven propaganda, battling Meta for the same crown
• All of them manage personal information and data they steal in a haphazard manner placing us all at risk
• All of them are control freaks with no concept of what stewardship, honesty, truth or goodness looks like
• They all seek to be wealthy, worshiped and revered as gods of AI perched upon haughty thrones of filth

It's kind of sad that we should all be hoping and praying for the collapse and destruction of an industry that has been an object of intense enthusiasm and passion for decades for some of us.

 

Still undecided whether the 5090 is worth keeping from a value and intelligence perspective, but the clock is ticking. The comparatively mediocre 9070 XT makes way more sense despite its unmistakable inferiority.
