NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

Techpowerup has recorded idle watts on several AIB cards and FE 5090 in the 24w - 39w range. Multi monitor uses more power idle but it should still be below 40.

cheers guys. well im at 4K so a performance hit of 2-3%. I can live with that.

Especially if it means I can actually play games without all these damn stutters!
 
What're the drivers like for the 5090 at the minute? I've not updated them since Feb 'cause of all the issues and bricking xD
 
I take it you don't have a pcie 4/ 5 motherboard then?

yes, the motherboard is gen4. but im having stuttering issues quite bad when off gen3.

yeah, im on the latest and seems "ok" atm. but havent been playing much DLSS or FG games atm.

I'd say they're no worse than any of the drivers since the 50 series launched, but I don't think any of them have been perfect yet. I've installed the lastest hotfix a day or two ago, and I've not had an issue yet, but you never know with nvidias drivers atm. Problems crop up when you least expect them, or well, sometimes when you do expect them too.
 
I recently upgraded from my aging RTX 3060 to an RTX 5060 Ti, hoping for a performance boost. However, I encountered frustrating black screen issues, including post-BIOS boot failures, random black screen flashes, and my second monitor not being recognized.

After extensive troubleshooting, countless driver reinstalls, and some soul-searching, I stumbled upon a fix that worked for me a few years ago. It involves disabling Multi-Plane Overlay (MPO), an old Nvidia/AMD workaround that resolved my black screen flashes.
Here’s the guide I followed:

It seems Nvidia’s old gremlins are making a comeback, for me atleast. good luck!

I had similar issues with my 5080, but it was just a case of changing the PCIe to Gen 4 (from auto) as I only have a Gen 4 riser cable, all good now.

I tried that and didnt work; even disabled fast boot, only thing worked is what I posted, atleast its all up and running, pity nvidia too busy with ai to care
 
Guys I'm looking at the 5060ti that OC is selling. I plan to put it in a Formd T1. Could anyone recommend one at 420 or below that OC is selling? I've seen the Python on sale at 380 but id pay a bit more for a quieter card

Here's a list of noise measured from a few 5060ti and most of them seem to be in stock with OCUK


I think the 3 fan cards fit in the Formd T1 but you should double check.
The Palit infinity 3 and Zotac Amp are louder but 30db is still not loud
It might be worth paying a bit over budget for the ASUS prime if you are really concerned about noise.
