NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

You need to look at the board power draw not the GPU chip power drawSo im really confused here , absolutey everything is running as it should , avergae score on Steel Nomad , Cyberpunk running maxed at full 4K at 120 FPS and anything else i care to throw at it on full tilt.
However my 1000W Corsair RM1000E now connected via the 12V connector to 4X 8 PCI E cables to the PSU is showing a really low power draw ?
Though i might need a new PSU but looks like im good to go ! Any ideas ?
When you decide to save money and buy the card with less vram you need to accept those limitations.
Somebody might be mainly playing games from 5 years ago, where 8GB is enough and they want a card as fast as the 5060TI. Why should they spend extra for vram they won't be using?
Why should consumer choice be taken away? Just because it's not something you want, or the majority want, doesn't mean it's not right for somebody else.
It's the same as in the motor industry.
Cars will be released with a varying degree of performance even though they all use the same engine, then they charge less for the lower performing variants.
Yet some will still line up and defend Nvidia, makes you think why, when such a huge majority slam a GPU, they trundle along with their ifs and buts defence.
They make themselves just look plain silly to everyone else. But at least we get a good laugh at the replies

If your benchmark score is normal then it's drawing all the power it needs, but you could try HWiNFO to double check the maximum power draw is accurate. Personally I would swap the 4x8 Pin cables for the native 12vhpwr cable to tidy things up and reduce potential failure points.So im really confused here , absolutey everything is running as it should , avergae score on Steel Nomad , Cyberpunk running maxed at full 4K at 120 FPS and anything else i care to throw at it on full tilt.

Hmm 5090's have finally started to be more available, I can get the Gigabyte Windforce 5090 for around 2500EUR (£2350). I am so tempted but not sure if i should wait for availability to get better and see if prices to drop a couple of hundred more.
I assume I can sell my 4090 for around £1200-ish.

Who on Earth is buying a £400 2025 GPU to play games from 5 years ago?
The card is a lemon and designed for pre-builts and catching out people who don't know any better. Jensen isn't going to give you a cuddle for defending it.
Someone whose 5 year old card has just conked out and they don't want to buy 2nd hand in case that conks out too.
The issue was not the crashing as I was aware of it. I saw one or two posts where people where implying this game would not run on a 8GB at 1080p at all and thats not the case.
Either this concept is lost on some people or it gets dismissed in bad faith.
I dont see an issue here though on this forum if one isnt 100% in on the hate train then some posters start throwing about childish accusations.
I purchased a used 3060ti in Dec 23 after waiting months for all the 8GB cards to crash in price now they where junk and obsolete had what people where saying was true my card should have tanked in price. I can sell it for the exact same money today.
As someone who played older games with it with the right settings it was fine and the vast majority of the time the card ran out of performance way before the VRAM becomes an issue. The 5060ti I have to agree with others as the performance can leverage the VRAM now which was my main point in many of the VRAM threads and why Nvidia and AMD where happy to give people 16GB cards at the low end but left the 12GB cards alone.
The rumored 5060 non ti in a videocardz leak has it priced at $299 which is around £225 and just abit better than a 3060ti if they can get this at about £200 than I'd say thats an okay buy judging buy what people are buying used cards at.

Nah that doesn't make sense. People who play World of Warcraft still use AGP 6800's
.How about Nvidia launch just the 16gb model but for the price of the 8gb version, it’s only using a 180mm2 50 class chip so it’s not like it should cost above £300 anyway.
That’s indicative of just how bad the new stuff has been.
A 3060ti when new matched a 2080 super, the modern replacement of the 3060ti is now the 5070ti which matches a 4080S so prices have doubled which is why older cards have held their value more.

Anyone defending the 8gb 5060ti needs to give their head a shake. It shouldn't exist.
To be fair if it was £100 or so cheaper it might be another story - but 8GB on a £350+ card was a even a bit of a mick take 5 years ago never mind now.

Power delivery hotspots can run hotter than the GPU core itself.
Beta testers of OcUK, thank you for your service
Probably be worth thinking twice about OCing those cards eh.

They really cannot lol
Beta testers still lapping up their products
Yeah, I'm absolutely not defending the 5060 Ti 8GB here (the card shouldn't exist), but the customer you describe is real and I know a couple. They're the type who by some metrics would count as "hardcore PC gamers" because they spend a lot of time gaming on PC, but who also know very little about the hardware side and almost exclusively play one or two older games (Counter-Strike and League of Legends are the obvious ones, though Fortnite probably belongs there as well). Steam stats showing most users are playing games over 5 years old is a big market.
And yes, when their GPU conks out, they tend to go and buy the cheapest "new" GPU on the market, which right now may mean the 5060 Ti 8GB. On one level, that makes me cringe because they are buying an obsolete-at-launch product. On the other hand... chances are that in 5 years time, they'll still only be playing Counter-Strike or League of Legends and will never have been anywhere near the VRAM limit.
Slightly hilariously, the guy who bought my old 4090 almost exclusively plays Counter-Strike and took a fair bit of persuading to move from 1080p to 1440p.
