EK hints at next-gen GPU launches this year - VideoCardz.com
EK Water Blocks preparing for ‘new GPU series announced for release later this year’ The company responds to recent media reports and confirms new cooling products for new GPUs are underway. There have been new reports about the departures of key employees from EK Water Blocks. The company has...

EK confirmed next gen RTX 5080 and 5090 will launch soon this year in 2024.
20 Sept or Oct or maybe Nov?
You mean this company?

If I was in the market for water cooling parts today I'd steer well clear of ekwb
The company could go bankrupt any day, they struggle to pay employees and they have $30 million of debt with interest rates they can't afford and they have no y assets as ekwb legally doesn't own any machines to make watercooling parts.
And if you buy ekwb stuff and they fold, then goodbye to your warranty or any support

i would be surprised to see them in quantities this side of Christmas if they do and you can be sure Nvidia will be charging top dollar for early adopters.EK hints at next-gen GPU launches this year - VideoCardz.com

Given prices of 40xx are going down now, this year is sounding more likely now. I'm expecting the 5090 to be between 1500-2000 and the 5080 to be around £1000. Doubt the xx90 will change in price much, if at all during its lifetime, all the previous flagships never drop much in price but wouldn't be surprised if 5080 gets a price drop in the not too distant future.....

Their only purpose in life is to be milked lad otherwise they're uselessand you can be sure Nvidia will be charging top dollar for early adopters.
This. I got up the other day and it was 20C in the house but 80% humidity and it was atrocious.
Their efficiency at heating is partly why AC installations are currently VAT-exempt.
You're dreaming.
That's the same bump the 4090 was over the 3090 and that had a 50% reduction in process node with associated benefits to transistor count and clock speeds. The 5090 will have no such die shrink to lean on.
Nothing that couldn't be beaten by throwing power and transistors at it. But then it will be expensive to buy and to run, likely much more than 4090.
And I'm sure they'll try but I just can't see any way of obtaining a 60-70% performance bump on the same process node.
I said to my dad the humidity in England is ridiculous. It's literally tropical rainforest levels. I have an Alexa spy device in the kitchen,and it's like 'today expect highs of 22c' ok that's fine imo. Then it's like 'and the humidity will be 82 percent' ! Off topic sorry.

maybe the ac isnt properly sized for the room or its skipped a round of maintenance.. ac is supposed to drain excess water from the room, its actually integral to the cooling process, unless the fan is blowing over an open water reservoir because of a drainage block
also RH again is often misinterpreted - 80% RH at 20 deg C isnt comparable to 60% RH at 29. infact in absolute terms it could be the same quantity of water as the holding capacity of air increases with temperature

In general terms - me neither. But in some specific use that they will blow out of proportion in marketing - perhaps.
Which is why only really relative humidity matter. That said, most UK places have no Aircon nor dehumidifiers.

No chance for sept 20 I am afraid
Err, where did I say I had AC running? Coincidentally, I do actually have AC but it wasn't running overnight. I did actually switch it on to reduce the humidity.
Also I understand the relative humidity thing and 60-65% humidity is generally fine around 20C but 80% was horrid, even at 20C and made it feel "muggy" and "sticky" even though the temperature was fine, that's all I was saying.

Here’s hoping the 5090 drops via Geforce Experience invite again, it’s how I got my 4090. I was talking to a mate last week and when I said I was 50/50 on getting one because the 4090 is still great he said if I didn’t I wouldn’t be the kind of person he thought I was, that’s the kind of snipe that’s made up my mind.

Dehumidifiers became really popular last Autumn after the death associated with mould went viral on the news. You couldn't find a good one in stock for a couple of months.
