Oh, that’s the premium one. You are safe. Was getting ready to rip into you for spending that much on the basic trinity oc variant. Glad it has treated you well.

ngl, mate, you had me panicking then lol. I may be stupid and desperate and a victim of FOMO but if I'm spending extra over a FE I try and get a decent-ish card.

is the corsair included 12VHPWR (12+4pin) cable the one needed for a rtx5080?

Best PSU for RTX 5090 | CORSAIR

The biggest, baddest GPU is here, and it needs an equally big and bad PSU. Here are the best ones.
www.corsair.com www.corsair.com

New Corsair HXi series HX1000i, HX1200i, HX1500i, RMx SHIFT series RM750x SHIFT, RM850x SHIFT, RM1000x SHIFT, RM1200x SHIFT, RMx series RM750x, RM850x and RM1000x PSUs all has new 12V 2x6 cable included.

I thought my Corsair RM1200x SHIFT bought in very early 2024 supplied 12VHPWR cable but I was surprised to read Corsair confirmed the cable supplied with PSU was not 12VHPWR but actually it supplied 12V-2X6 cable and also surprised Corsair confirmed my PSU is already ATX 3.1 compliant. No need to buy Corsair Type 4 and Type 5 12V-2X6 cable from Corsair store or OCUK. :cool:

Well you're rightly questioning some life choices nothing wrong with that.

What you can do is buy a 4080 Super, stick a bit of black tape over the model number and get your life back without any added stress and still game within a few % which you wouldn't notice anyway?

You know I picture it as him buying a 4080 super putting white tape over it and writing 5080 on it like in crayon or something.

To be fair he exited the tech space when his wife cheated in him with his editor. He decided to do other videos on a different channel. Kinda back now but not many videos.

I think Paul and Austin have been consistent across the years not dropped off but not gone anywhere.

It's only really J2C, Gamers Nexus, LTT and HUB that have kidna grown continuously in the space.

ATX 3.1 is actually a downgrade from 3.0 in some small ways, hence if a PSU is 3.0 compliant it is likely also 3.1 compliant.

From what I understood, the difference between 12VHPWR and 12V-2x6 is the socket on the board, specifically that the sense pin connectors are more "retracted" inside the socket so the plug has to be fully seated for them to make contact.

There is no difference in the cables/plugs from what I understood?

Apparently the commercial variants of Blackwell had a hardware flaw which needed to be fixed:
www.capacitymedia.com

Blackwell GPU flaw '100% Nvidia's fault,' says CEO Jensen Huang: report

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has finally addressed the design flaw that pushed back production of its next-generation GPUs, laying the blame as “100% Nvidia's fault.”
www.capacitymedia.com www.capacitymedia.com

The move to GDDR7 doesn't seemed to have done much at all. It makes me wonder whether the lower end variants could have used 16GB of GDDR6/GDDR6X instead of 12GB of GDDR7.

Yes I was expecting more from the increased bandwidth, and I think the power consumption has increased because of the GDDR7 even though it is advertised as more energy efficient, that is only realised if the performance of the overall GPU increases with the performance of the memory. It was similar with the 3070 and 3070 Ti where I felt the increased power consumption from using GDD6X wasn't really worth the performance gain or price increase.

Edit- A lot of the gains on the 4000 series seemed to come from the cache increase when Nvidia had to combat AMD infinity cache to keep competitive at 1080p and 1440p. I bet if they had increased the cache while sticking with GDDR6x they would have seen better gains this generation for similar prices but probably not in their best interests to do that.
