There are no tariffs on Taiwan it's just profiteering

Are the cores not diffused in Taiwan then shipped to China where they are assembled with their coolers?

I can’t imagine coolers being sent to Taiwan and then assembled…

Depends which board partner it is I think, Zotac are entirely manufactured in China for example, Asus, MSI, gigabyte do have factories in Taiwan but a lot of components still come from China, so it depends what exactly the rules are on the tariffs as to what percentage of the product is allowed to be manufactured in China before they kick in. Those 3 do still also have factories in china too, so no telling where they're made just by which brand it is either.

A quick Google suggests Asus moved 100% of their GPU manufacturing to china.

Have any if you had any problems like the card black screening because if the pci express 5 and driver update??

To add to the anecdotal data on here, my Palit 5080 has no coil whine that I can discern (although I am missing the extreme top frequencies from my hearing after too much loud music), the drivers seem to make it work entirely fine, it overclocks well, runs ok on pcie 5 with no black screens. All in all, I'm pretty content thus far.

A lot of palit owners have reported mostly no coil whine as well. Thus so far while the sample size is still very small as quite a few people are still waiting on their cards prelimary posts from palit owners seem to suggest if you are susceptible to coil whine then chances are you are best going with Palit for the time being to increasing your chances of getting a card of not having coil whine.
The rest of manufacturer and their SKU's either there is neither so little posts regarding them say like the suprim X or astral owners. Zotac seems to vary and seems like a crapshoot.

I guess as time goes on and more people receive their card and post their experiences on it, a better picture will be painted on the coil whine situation.
 
FWIW I got a Palit GameRock 5080 on launch and the coil whine was not an issue... but the fans had a horrible motor noise that was far worse than any coil whine or loud fans so it's went back. I have heard of 4000 series Palit owners, plus another 5080 GameRock owner, with the same issue.

Thank you for sharing your experiences might be worth people taking note of when purchasing the card.
 
I bought a 4080 super and I only have 2 PCIE cable with 2 6+2 pins each. My PSU is a Gigabyte UD850GM for reference. The 4080 super requires 3 separate PCIE cables.

I'm honestly confused, I checked Part picker and it stated that my PSU was compatible and yet I don't have enough cables to power the GPU that I bought. Is there anything that I'm missing?

It's a modular PSU, so in the box will be an extra set of cables - that PSU does support up to 4 pcie 8-pin power connectors

Edit, sorry I misread, yes it has 4 6+2's in total, you need to use 3 of them, no you don't need to use 3 separate cables

You won't find any 850w PSU's with 3 separate cables and 6 pcie 6+2's, yet Nvidia recommend 850w for 4080/5080

Zotac moved out of China in December to avoid tariffs
