NVIDIA 5000 SERIES

That's a whole lot of wattage through a single connector!
I did see someone saying that the connector on the FE was up at 80c at one point.

I'm also curious as to whether the riser issues are present on the AIB cards, since the FE basically already has a built in riser.

Yep, it was the HUB review of the Suprim. 71c stock, 80c when OCing...

I was never going to spend £2k - 4K on a single peice of hardware.
From what I have read and watched this is going backwards for all I care.

It was only like 10 years ago people would slate a GPU with higher power requirements then previous generations AMD got slated a lot more than nvidia in this bracket.


Now people are happy to throw this amount of money at a 500w/600w even spiking to 900w

Wow... What ever happened to pushing the envelope on reducing power and gaining performance?

I guess we just live in mad times now.

That is my view on this generation.

It's clown world mate.
 
More stuff on latency and MFG (from everyone’s favourite):

Edit - this is followed up with comments that the image quality deffo isn’t as good as native (as you’d expect).

Well I won't be upgrading from the 4090, as expected, the sales jargon was mostly just noise. The additional power consumptions vs extra performance isn't good for me. I already don't trust the 12vhpwr after running into issues myself, regardless of if the 5090 uses the updated connector.

Also as expected, my 4090 holding value - don't know why people can't read between the lines.

The latency on those screens looks pretty good, not that many people will be able to take advantage of an FPS that high.
 
So from what I can tell the AIB cards seem to be massive, but cooler and quieter than the FE. Seems a strange decision by Nvidia to overengineer a 2 slot cooler for the flagship card. 95% of buyers will be putting one of these in a massive case, a massive case that most of us have cos the last couple of generations of card have all been massive including the FE!

I could get a 7 slot card in my Hyte case but would much rather have cooler and quieter than smaller and I would suspect most are the same.

yeah they looked at an issue no one would have cared about. surely putting a that in an SFF case is going to cause heat issues on components anyway

Is there any implications in running a gpu undervolted and applying a OC to it?

That’s precisely what I’m going to do. 150W less and a few percent more performance according to one of the reviews posted earlier.

As my 4090FE is being given to my son I’ve got no choice but to pick up a 5090FE, hopefully at launch but I’ve got until the 9950X3D releases so fingers crossed!

Haha truly an emergency purchase :D

It's got nothing to do with AMD. I am pointing out that either hardware be it GPU or CPUs used to get flopped if it released with worse power draw than previous generations.

Intel, AMD, Nvidia now it's all OK to push the power with very much gain to back that up.

Compare this to Samsung S25 event, while pushing the performance Samsung also mentioned the great length it went to to reduce power and increase battery life.

O but Nvidia improved the cooling it's still runs 600w though impressive.

True. Difference is phone market has a lot more competition.

Nvidia get away with this because they are so in front.

They could just make a 5080 Ti and tune that as best as they can for power efficiency. But honestly. I get the feeling at those prices points not enough people care.

Like one dude said 20w higher idle draw. Spend 2K plus you likely not worried about that from a financial aspect anyway.
