NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

All stock, haven’t touched a thing. So far seeing about 550-575W max with AC shadows.

How is it even using that much for you? With max settings, even without an undervolt, AC Shadows was only using 450W on average at full GPU usage, an undervolt pushes it well below 400W. Unless you were including transient spikes in that? I know hwinfo shows transient spikes in some of their max power sensor readings.

do these cards not hit over 600 watts i thought i saw it on youtube.

I genuinely only see anywhere close to 600w in 3d mark. I've really not seen it much at all in games.

May?
i thought pre-orders are clear?
like the 50 series drought is over, no more scalping too, everywhere has stock available plus FE has taken a price drop to like 1800 quid or somthing, still 2 bagz for a 5090 is an aight price, considering I paid 2650 for my 5090, 1950 for my 4090 and 1900 for my 3090ti all on day one release.

Another gen and you’ll have single-handedly funded Jensen a new jacket.
 
any of you 5090 owners using a lian li strimer for your 5090?i have one for my 4090 and was wondering could i use it for my 5090?

Similar here on my Palit Gamerock 5090. AC Shadows without an undervolt peaks at around 470W and usually sits a bit below that. With an undervolt it stays below 400W. Other than synthetic benchmarks, the only game I've seen push close to the 575W is Tempest Rising, when run with an uncapped framerate and no undervolt.
 
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but as it seems to be a mixture of owners and prospective buyers in here so perhaps someone can offer some insight or at least confirm about the Zotac Solid Core range, it could also be useful information for anyone who is considering these cards and wasn't aware.

I'm after a 5080 or 5070Ti (as the least bad alternative to the now-unattainable 4090, at least on my post count) and am looking at the entry-level cards to minimise my overspending, but I've heard that both the Palit and Zotac Core Solid cards are power limited to 100% (I assume you can set it lower), and the Zotac is completely voltage locked so can't even be undervolted. Edit - this post implies that undervolting is possible, at least on the OC but that shouldn't make any difference, so hopefully it's only overvolting that's restricted but it would be good to confirm with someone who knows for sure.

Is this correct, and if so are the Palit and other low-end cards the same with voltage? This kind of information is not exactly forthcoming in the product descriptions, I only stumbled across it by accident on a Reddit post while searching for reviews. I know it's possible to flash the BIOS, but I wouldn't want to risk that on such an expensive item without a dual BIOS...which again requires the regular Solid not the Core.

Is there anything that a) has at least a 3-year warranty (I know this rules Palit out regardless of voltage adjustment) and either allows undervolting or has dual BIOS and b) has been sighted, if not necessarily available now and/or at OcUK, closer to MSRP than the OcUK prices for the regular Zotac Solid of £830 for the 5070Ti and £1050 for the 5080? 2 slot is too small even for 5070Ti so the Zotac Solid SFF is out, 2.5 slot is fine for a 5070Ti and not ideal but probably not a dealbreaker for 5080.

I'm looking at a 5080 solid/solid OC - are they power/voltage locked?

What about the amp infinity? An extra £30 for voltage control and the infinity mirror suddenly seems a bargain!!

The AMP infinity version is 100% power draw limited but has full voltage control. It's also built solid, you couldn't bend this card even if you wanted.

The non-Core Solid definitely has power and voltage adjustments, according to this post where I originally read about the restrictions on the Core edition. It also has dual BIOS so can, as I understand it, be flashed to any other 5080 risk-free.
 
Anyone using DLDSR? Been giving it a try at x2.25 on 4k to upscale to 6k. Seems to be quite good with barely any performance hit

I have a Zotac 5080 amp infinity, and can confirm the power level is adjustable.
