Server-grade high-performance thermal gel
In order to improve product quality and reliability, GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 MASTER 32G uses server-grade high-performance thermal conductive gel to cool important components such as VRAM and MOSFET. This gel has high ductility and non-flow properties. Perfectly fits various uneven component surfaces, effectively avoiding the problem of traditional thermal pads deforming after transportation or long-term use





Passive cooling module
Superconducting Heat Pipes & Superconducting Heat Plates
GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 MASTER 32G has superconducting heat pipes & superconducting plates. Superconducting heat pipes are strategically configured with optimized capillary structures in different areas to effectively improve heat transfer efficiency. Together with superconducting plates, they directly contact the GPU. The two thermal designs work together to achieve the best thermal performance.


Aerospace Grade PCB Protective Film
Dustproof – prevents scratches and wear caused by falling dust, insects, or accidentally dropped screws and tools
Moisture-proof – can prevent abnormal line conduction or damage on the circuit board
Anti-oxidation – resistant to salt spray, moisture and rust in the air

Extreme overclocking design
The excellent power phase design effectively reduces the MOSFET operating temperature and provides stable power quality. Each MOSFET has an over-temperature protection design and load balancing, which can effectively improve overclocking performance and extend the life of the graphics card.

Ultra-durable materials
Ultra Durable certified ultra-low ESR all-solid capacitors, metal inductors, 2oz copper foil PCB and ultra-low resistance transistors provide excellent graphics card performance and longer lifespan

Fully automated and user-friendly PCB design
The fully automated manufacturing process not only ensures product quality, but also completely removes the sharp bumps on the PCB surface caused by manual soldering in the traditional process. This friendly design allows players to assemble the device without worrying about their fingers getting scratched. It can also prevent damage to components caused by improper handling.

planning? yes? Hopeful I will get one in the next 6 months cause of the stupidly low amount of stock? no...

I think that anyone planning on upgrading from a 4090 is a moron plain and simple. (same with anyone that upgrades from one generations top tier card to the next every time)

Yeah i've seen/heard likewise opinions from other people/users too. However those who always need the latest and greatest will not settle for anything less! That is until the 5090 Ti comes out. :p
 
I was reading a few industry articles about MSRP/RRP and the BOM (bill of materials) that nVidia sells to AIBs which includes the GPU, and normally VRAM and certain PCB components. As I understand, this round nV is charging more for VRAM and other components, so AIBs are %÷< out of luck on margins. They are being required to charge a lot more over RRP to make margin, thus making nV's RRP even more fictitious.

Also, another thought on these cards... resale value. We all know 5080's resale value is going to be lower because it's a less desirable card from the start. But the 5090, while likely having an exceedingly high value while supply is low and for the first part of it's lifecycle, will likely drop like a rock once the 6-series is out (new node, much higher performance potential). Those looking to recoup their investment by selling a 5090 next gen may he disappointed.

5090 somewhat reminds me of what happened to 480 once 580 was released where the 480's resale value was halved overnight. And while I don't normally purchase cards based on resale value a year or two down the line, it's worth considering if you're playing the long game in this hobby.

Who needs a video to know everything is playable on a 3090?! :cry:

Of course everything is (more than) playable on a 3090. It's still in the top 20% of GPUs people have, and is ~30% faster than the GPU in a PS5 Pro for which most games are built.

I've been playing on my "back-up" 6950xt for the last month and a half and, honestly, there's barely a material difference in experience from my previous 4090 in 90% of the games I play. Those of us with that level card are probably best waiting a few months after launch until the dust settles to buy a new card.

Disappointed with the temps they show...not much improvement over founders edition.

Also cleaning/repasting all that gunk at a later date wouldn't be much fun!

Camping out has begun for some Yanks. What a time to be alive. No point doing that in the UK as there is zero stock.

There's also very few physical shops selling them.

The liquid metal and thermal gels are part of the reason I think that a dedicated watercooled board like the Auros Waterforce WB might be better than looking to install one myself. It seems like a lot of aggro this time round.
