NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

My 5090 suprim has shipped from ocuk. Yippee

:D
 
I'm suspecting there is an issue with the actual chip rather than just a production problem. People need to keep an eye on the ROPS and other aspects of the card in case they disappear. What if some part of the chip is getting damaged while in use? Take a phone pic of the GPU-Z screen with the date and time showing.
So the chips or parts of the chips are dying after a some gaming loads?
 
Unlikely. Much more probable they've shipped the weaker bins of parts and would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids
I was thinking if some ROPs some how died after a weeks usage, gpu-z would still report the correct amount amount but performance would be lower

Just to keep more on topic though. No drop outs in my 5070ti queue today :(
Thinking there could be a fair chunk if somehow AMD pulls 9070xt off perfectly
 
Well I'm delighted to say after some initial teething problems my 5080 has it's full complement of ROP's and none of the other reported issues of random black screens etc (that was apparently happening to both 40 and 50 series owners with the recent drivers).

One weird curiosity to point out, I ran a 3D Mark Steel Nomad when I first got it installed and it was a nice score, but when I tried to "overclock" the card using MSI Afterburner it actually got slower for some weird reason, like it was taking a +800Mhz OC in MSI just to get it back to the stock speeds and it got to the point I had to system restore to earlier in the day as my OC went a bit too far and I didn't realise Safe Mode is borked in Windows in 24H2, but once I did restore and everything was back to stock it was back to it's full speed again and actually posted an even better Steel Nomad score. So no idea what's going on there.

I always found when running 3D Mark benchmarks, if you use or have Icue running in the background, it reduces the bench score...

I don't have iCUE.

I was also checking the monitors in 3D Mark and GPU-Z and the "Overclocks" were coming in with lower Core Clocks than stock, which is the bit I don't get.

Like stock the avg clock would be 2800+ Mhz, but if I then applied say a +500Mhz OC in Afterburner the avg clock during the test was 2200Mhz, but I was having a few issues with Afterburner tbh, like even resetting the OC didn't actually work it was still showing the lower clocks, I had to do a system restore to get back to actual stock, so I think Afterburner just needs an update or something.

Did but any chance you select the unlock voltage control in after burner or in the Nvidia app. When you do this it will drop the base clocks to about 1800 MHz.
