NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

[Sin_Chase]

there have been some claims regarding the alleged 7% perf increase due to 576.02, seems the driver broke the temperature api and the chips are now boosting higher than safe temperature thresholds.. and another point on idle clocks at 22MHz, can someone check if the latter is true, does it actually impact the idle state power consumption or some read error

Surely the Boost algorithm is all firmware/bios based? Are people seeing increased temperatures?

Hilarious, more melted cards coming

some have claimed higher temps or unstable overclocks (CTDs which were otherwise stable previously).. heres an article i found and there has been a cacophony of voices on reddit

Report: RTX 50 series GPUs get noticeable boost in benchmarks with latest drivers, gaming performance suffers

The new drivers address the black screen issues that some users were facing and they also bring some performance gains in synthetic benchmarks. But these gains seem to be negatively impacting gaming performance.

the 22mhz idle state piqued my interest as well
i like to clean boot into drivers, too much work unless the thing is really as good as they say

Exactly. I'm not seeing any increase in temperatures, or pin voltages on the new drivers. I haven't seen any other info suggesting this anywhere or on the derivers thread. (that I noticed).

Whats the significance of the 22MHz idle?

Im on an FE so behaviour might be different to AIB but mine idles at 38MHz on dual 4K monitors (60 and 240Hz) and has done since launch.

I suspect it would be lower still on a single monitor.

 

[brostradamus]

i am on a 5090 fe and a inno3d 5090.. i remember the number was something like 180mhz at idle 572.83, the 4090 fe too was around 200Mhz (i am relying on memory here), significance being 7watt power consumption @22 mhz which is a very good reason for an upgrade, minus the other caveats as above

Ill revisit mine on the new driver with a closer eye.

My card has been boosting to the same speeds, but I'm seeing higher temps and power draw when overclocked. It seems like my card is actually performing normally now, when it was underperforming previously.

 

[Rogueywon]

No increased temperatures here, with or without the undervolt. I'm seeing a ~5% performance increase in some games, but none in others and even a slight loss of performance in Doom Eternal.

 

[Rawr]

I noticed my card mostly sits at 22mhz idle these days yeah.

"There’s countless real world scenarios that we’ll see performance of the RTX 5060 Ti severely limited or even crippled by the 8GB frame buffer."

 

[Grim5]

Just buy it!

But Jensen promised RTX5000 was more efficient with AI memory, users here told me RTX5000 cards didn't need as much VRAM due to more efficient AI compression and AI memory usage

Personally I find it hilarious that there is already games that refuse to run on the 8gb 5060ti at just 1080p resolution. Jensen needs to add more AI

 

[Chrisc]

Nvidia know what they're doing.

Such a scummy thing to do.

12gb cards in a year or two

That 8GB 5060 Ti is DOA already, it's ridiculous as it has plenty of power for 4K gaming, but it's completely crippled by that stupidly low frame buffer. Nvidia should do the right thing and just pull the 8GB card ASAP.

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

just think of the poor uninformed folk that end up buying one of these, well and truly hung out to dry by NVidia, yet im sure someone will be along soon to defend NVidia, that im sure of

Even worse, I bet most prebuilt PC's will have this useless card installed because it's cheaper than the 16GB one, and all the system specs will most likely say is just "5060 Ti".

As a card for 1080p gaming I can understand it, there is no harm having the option and saving some money.
I think people are over-reacting

People who buy the 8GB model for 4K gaming deserve to have performance problems for being so stupid
