Fine, even during benchmarking it's fine. Although one of the reasons for the upgrade was my old card was so loud I needed headphones on so not exactly a fair comparison!

NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
My Gamerock 5090 actually arrived a day early!
Really happy with it. I'll be honest I wasn't 100% sure on the looks, but in the flesh its good.
Fan noise is better than the Zotac 4090 I replaced. Obviously it's noticeable at higher rpm, but it doesn't have a low frequency hum.
Finally on power, I'd seen a Kitguru YT video about the Gamerock drawing 660watts. However, at 100% PL I've ran cyberpunk at 4k with path tracing for over 1hr and hit 570 max.

Just came here to ask this - very tempted by the GRA-ZTC-04471 model as well.@Gibbo Any sign of the 5070ti zotacs? Specifically GRA-ZTC-04471. I think you said before they still needed to get past border checks, just seeing if that's progressed

I think shipment is delayed, still waiting on GPU from NVIDIA.
Outlook for 5070 Ti in general looks pretty short still, as such I've personally advice maybe grab the Palit / Gainward which are in stock at £729 whilst still available.
Thanks for the advice, short as in low stock across the cards?
And if Nvidia not shipped yet expect min 2 weeks as a finger in the air guess?
And do you prefer the Palit or Gainward?
Thank you!

What's the warranty like for Palit and Gainward? The Forum thread says 2 and 3 years respectively but not sure how up to date that is? Zotac has that great 5 year warranty which is one of the reasons I was waiting for stock.
Hopefully receive my heatkiller block next week. Watercool have just said their latest info is they expect the blocks to arrive towards the end of this week and presuming there isn't any defects will start shipping next week.
Fingers crossed as this last delay has really dragged

How is the outlook for the 5080?

Sold my 4090 on cex for £1300. Had the money in my account two days after posting it.
Couldn’t be bothered with eBay and scammers
Palit / Gainward / PNY are all built to NVIDIA design and specification, so the quality is always good.
Zotac is also very good and yes it could be 1-4 weeks delivery time and our current stock of Palit / Gainward has no replenishment timeline on Palit until June and Gainward has one more shipment this month for us, so the stock on 5070Ti particular at MSRP level remains very tight.
As said above CEX. Sold my 4090 for around £1250 with CEX. No faff, money in the bank two days after they recieve it. not a bad price, only just over 30% less than what i paid for it more than two years earlier.
Hey Gibbo, sorry to mither, do you have a vague ETA on the Zotac 5090 solid OC white?
The reason I always buy zotac is their 5 year warranty as soon as they pop under 2k I may invest
As a former owner of the 5080 Ice as of today, I would strongly advise against if you have any plans to mount vertically. I've sent it back as thermal putty started to seep out after 2 weeks and seems to be widespread across the entire Gigabyte range.
They have tried to say it's no issue but starting to see more severe cases now

I cancelled my pre-order and ordered MSI RTX 5080 SUPRIM SOC bundled with DOOM: The Dark Ages somewhere then got dispatched email today. Now DPD got my parcel and it is on the way.
Wow! Did this happen to your unit? Were you able to replace it under warranty?
