NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

So, my 5090 just arrived. Wife will be going out soon, I'll unbox it then. For now:

And to think I was apprehensive about paying so much for my Strix 4090, glad I did now and can happily skip this dumpster fire of a launch.
Still kicking myself I didn't get a 4090 back in early 23. I was close but ironically decided it was a lot of money.:(
 
Bespoke Government regulation isn't going to happen, end of. That said, I do wonder at what point general health and safety regulators start to take a look at some of the more... ahh... incendiary problems. Consumer products that are genuine fire hazards do tend to draw their eye.

Edit: Also, in the EU at least, I can see environmental regulation coming in and limiting TDP for graphics cards. It happened for TVs (albeit amateurishly) and it could absolutely happen for GPUs as well. Won't happen in the US with the current administration, though.
UK left the EU by the way
