NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

Interesting, that's the limit for the 12VHPWR connector, probably gonna be like the 4090 though and more power will result in much less gains in FPS so wouldn't really worry too much 575 vs 600

It is worrying the tdp is so close to the power limit of the connector, which already has hardly any margin of error vs the 8-pin. I would take 3 x 8-pin over the 12V-2x6 any day of the week.

tdp is over-rated.

When 4090 came out people blabbed on about using 450w - 600w and needing 1000w+ PSUs etc and it turned out to be a lot more efficient and sat below 450w, usually around 300w or less most of the time. I was using mine with a 750w PSU most of it's life along with a 13900k with no problems. I'd imagine the 50 series will be similar, in that it can use 600w if it needs to, but that will be rare. It would need all the Cuda cores and Tenser cores being pushed to the max to reach the full power draw and very few games are capable of that.

I agree with you on efficiency. I run my 4090 with an 80% power limit in games, but efficiency and the safety factor of the connector are separate. The 12V-2x6 has a safety factor of 1.1 i believe, aka it can handle 660w safely. A single 8-pin has a 1.9x safety factor - 150w up to nearly 300w (and is a tried and trusted connector). It just doesn’t leave much wriggle room, even if running at ‘only’ 500w.

I know it's a different situation, but I'm not surprised there are at least questioning murmurs with regards to the power considering Nvidia seemed to get off lightly with the whole melting connector situation.

The 12VHPWR cables weren't created by Nvidia, that was Intel and SIG. They simply opted to use it.

They did however create the 12V-2x6 which rectified the problems.
 
I quite like MSI so ill probably jump to an MSI 5090 from my existing card. Looking at their website for specs, im a little (well, totally) confused by the hierarchy of names. Does anyone know their model hierarchy, assuming their models range from "basic" to "best we can make" please?

The 30 and 40 TUF series cards were great. The 4090 Tuf wasn’t near FE/MSRP price for a good year or so after launch, if ever, from what I recall.

I had a 3090 Strix which was a great card ( just £200 over msrp!!!) And when it came time to get the 4090 the Strix was out the question as it jumped £700 over msrp but was very interested in the 4090 Tuf which at release was a couple hundred over the msrp but no stock after the hour messing around trying to get the FE :rolleyes: This time will go straight for the Tuf as long as the price isn't ridiculous...roll on the 30th

I believe now it's Ventus, Gaming X but then it's tough between Suprim and Vanguard which will be top, I lean towards vanguard but yeah..

Their current line up from most expensive to cheapest will be
1 . Suprim
2 . Vanguard
3 . Gaming Trio
4 . Ventus
 
Not sure if the video is legit, the power use on this 5090 is shocking!
:eek:

I look forward to the first generation of GPUs where raster performance goes backwards, lol. Nvidia will just add a few extra frames into their frame gen. Meanwhile can i buy a pure raster die 5090?

Nvidia can check with AMD, they've got the experience as they've launched a couple generations in the past that had raster performance go backwards
