Yeah I knew that, at stock it goes above, I meant at a specific voltage. But other answered and seems like it's an Afterburner software limitation to +1000 MHz above default, default that can be changed by flashing another vBios, but don't want to do that with the PNY considering it's a single bios card.

Default won't change with a different Vbios.
I tried Suprim and Aorus Master on my Vanguard. No change.
But going from 0.895 to 0.9 for more frequency isn't really much of a change for power consumption.

So AMD have better drivers now? How far has GeForce fallen since AI and crypto. Hope Jensen can turn things around next gen and give us another ampere quality launch without the crypto and covid background.

Nv dont are about retail anymore , way more money to be made from AI. Watched a video about production - Nv are making more chips per quater than at any other year, yet retail supply is smaller than any other year. That and the xx70 series really is a xx50 seriesSo AMD have better drivers now? How far has GeForce fallen since AI and crypto.

Nvidia is slowly giving up on the gaming sector, they go where money is. Personally I hope they will, and then AI will hit the end of marketing/trading hype (just like bitcoin/cryptomining) and Nvidia will come back with its tail pulled in to make gaming GPUs again.

Not sure why but my power limit cant go above 100, first day it could go to 104 but now for some reason 100 is the max.
Thankyou for the voltages, not sure whats going on with mine, idle is 11.93 then drops to 11.73 and sometimes 11.69 for short periods. Ive tried 2 cables, got a third i might give a go with, if not ill try the octopus
The voltages are still in spec, but apparantly some people have said low voltage causes the melting due to resistance?
Ill probably get in contact with NZXT as cables are fully seated so might be an issue with the PSU, or to get it in writing from them that the voltages are fine, so if anything happens i should be covered

Got to be honest I found the 12v NZXT cable an absolute arse to plug into the PSU and the GPU. I’m not surprised that people have had issues!

Was definitely tight to push in, not nice to put so much pressure on the gpu.
I've messaged NZXT, its been an hour an no response from them yet, got told a 1-3 min reply time
That's what I did in the end, pushed voltage slightly. Also 0.895v @ 2812 wasn't stable in less demanding games with my card. 0.900 has been solid.
I get some companies diversify and often what they were first known for making becomes a thing of the past. But this is a bit different in that the thing they're diversifying into is just another flavour of GPU!
Literally jilting your core customer base in the space of a couple years to chase the datacentre $, serve up the scraps to those customers from the dinner plate, over no table service (driver team reduced) and sell it for twice what the most expensive meal used to cost is just... capitalism I guess! But galling all the same.
The marketing departments should have had a word. Nvidia is now one of the richest companies in the world. It would have been easy for them, even if still serving up a small % of the fab capacity to PC gpus, to sell them at reduced/subsidised prices as an easy win for PR and brand loyalty. But nope.

Had to open another chat box as was 3 hours with still no response, within 3 mins had a reply (guess their 1-3min reply time is a chance of luck )
This is their response;
"The readings you get through software may not be fully accurate. Best way to get readings are through a physical voltage reader.
There is a video of JayZTwoCents that kind of overviews these readings when he was testing the 5090 with his system. You may want to look into that. But nothing we can do about it unfortunately."
Only issue is, a voltage clamp is a bit too big and i dont think it would work on their own cables due to the sleeve being so close to the plug. I do have a cablemod 12v-2+6 i can plug in and get some readings from. If theyre okay, ill stick with the cablemod i think.
Gone are the days of plug and play without having to worry about becoming the next meltyboi

You could probably get a IR thermometer if you were worried.
When I was trying to sort out a fan noise issue (something wastouching the fan causing a clicking noise at high rpm) I ended up having to touch the cables anyway, and considering they felt normal and uniform in heat after running 3d mark for like 15 odd mins I'm kinda just chalking my cable up to being ok.

If this continues, RTX6000 could be Nvidia's last generation of gaming GPU's
I'll probably jump to AMD as soon as they make a new high end GPU again, just to get away from Nvidia's god awful software

The people selling those have been very pleased with the 5000 series release.

Someone said you can hire them for free from your local library for heat efficiency, ive also heard about thermisters into the plug but decided its going too far with it lol.
Ive got an undervolt with a score im happy with, just curious about the voltages being lower than everyone elses.
Ive got 4 days off from this morning, so ill tinker a bit more but think ill just run with what ive got and *touch wood* its all okay
I heard that about thermal cameras which are significantly dearer, yeah. Don't think mine does, but I didn't look into it too much tbh. I think the touch test was good enough. While I think the connector is a disaster and should be reworked, I do also think it's probably fine for 99% of people considering how "few" cases there has been.

I think people have been more cautious this time round with the cable, making sure its seated etc. Ive also seen a lot more interest in undervolting on reddit and other forums.
The connector is a disaster i agree, there has been 1 report im aware of last week, but other than that i havent heard anything for a long while.
Nah, they'll get some competition in the AI market soon and come crawling back with their tail between their legs.

Look, as long as your fire extinguisher is of the correct type, so make sure you have the one specifically for electrical fires, you can sleep easy.
Don't be arsing about with fancy gadgets or monitoring software, life's too short for all that.
