NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

My Corsair RM1000X isn't ATX 3.0 spec though, so where does that leave me ? The transient power spikes @Grim5 mentioned still concern me somewhat.

Why not just suck it and see?

The worst that will happen is the PSU will trip and shut off, no damage will occur.

If it turns out there's an issue then just buy a new PSU.

We'll have to wait and see I say. With rtx3090 and 4090, it was not a bad idea to have at least 2x headroom on your GPU TDP because both of those GPUs liked to produce transient spikes that would for a few microseconds cause the GPU to draw double its power rating

If transients still happen on the 5090, you're looking at Transient spikes of close to 1200w, and if the PSU protection kicks in it could shut down the PC

Interesting, I didnt know about that! Suppose as its been mentioned already a million times but will need to wait until some proper testing and the reviews are out.

Speaking of reviews, is there a date on when the embargo is being lifted?

Usually it's the day before the release

I have the same PSU.

The power connector ain't ever providing 1200W of power. The extra pins in the connector define the max power the card can pull.

Been thinking about these new cards, and for me if I'm having to lower settings or rely on up-scaling technique to get decent performance even with a £2000 Graphics card, then really I might as well not bother with an expensive card at all and just use DLSS etc and whatever else it takes to get a decent frame rate. Kind of feels like, if the best card can't do it natively, why buy any of them?

$2000 5090 gets 28 fps in black myth at 4k with no crutches to help it.

Click to expand...


4090: Runs relatively cool and quiet, 450w max power draw and gets 23fps in Wukong at native 4k max setting and Ray Tracing on
5090: Probably runs hotter and louder, has 575w max power draw and gets 28fps in Wukong with the same settings

The RTX5090 commands a $500 higher price and consumes 29% more power to operate, and probably runs hotter and louder - and for these sacrifices you will get 20% additional performance :cry:


I know at CES they said Jensen is the best CEO in the world, but if people buy the RTX5090 then Jensen will be the best salesman in history

It is and I agree, But was there any need for Nvidia to stop production of the 40x series for other users who have been waiting to upgrade and could possibly have gotten a good upgrade with the 40x series if they kept them in circulation but lowered the cost as most reasonable manufacturers do, At the end of the day yes there is R&D in DLSS 4 and all the upscaling tech but it is software and therefore GPU's should be cheaper not more expensive, It is that what gets on my grate with Nvidia.

I have no issues with upscaling tech for improving performance if visual clarity is not compromised but in most cases it is not to mention the extra lag although Reflex 2 should work better but still these are all if's buts and maybes, It's not universal and won't work with all titles.

I know Apple do yhis with iPhones, keep the lasty gen at a lower price but in general its teh done practic, discontinue the old model before bringiong out the new. Cuts production costs as not producing multiple generations and keeps new buyers on current gen while pleasing share holders also

There is a lot of "probably" there, lets wait for real reviews to make our judgement and cut back on teh guessing.

Probably is only for the heat and noise of the FE card, rest of it is cold hard facts that the fanboys will hate

I was instantly disappointed the moment I saw that Far Cry 6 graph. In all honesty I'm surprised Nvidia even put it out there.

Nvidia just had another Fermi moment and AMD is nowhere to be found to take advantage of it.

575w, $2k price tag, 2+ years of R&D for 20% performance increase? LOL

I hope when the dust settles people can digest the magnitude of this epic failure.

Well I'm staying with the 4090 so there is that :p

The 30 series suffered from them, not the 40 series.

I was running my 13900K and 4090 on a 750w PSU for over 8 months with no issues at all.
Only swapped the 750 for an 850 because I was building my daughter a rig and thought it best I have the more powerful PSU of the two and the Asus Loki matches my white build

The 40 series reviews showed they brought transient spikes under control but it seems normal around here for people to recommend PSU's far exceeding what people actually need
