NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

Has anyone bought any aftermarket cables for the RTX 5090? the 4x8 pin to 5090 version
Click to expand...
Didnt get a 4x8 pin as my psu only has 3 of them, asked for a spare and they sent the wrong cable:cry:

I have however got a custom 12v6+2 cable which im still toying with the idea of using.

Id love to use the MSI octopus adapter as it looks to be very well made, but got no chance of that happening without another new psu.

Used RTX 4090 FEs are still selling for £1800+.... When do you folks think it will begin to drop off?

I think they will stay fairly high for a few months atleast.

Once the 50 series is more stable and able to be purchased more frequently, maybe it will drop a bit then?

a lot of people are wanting the 4090 over the 5080 for the vram, as its still the 2nd best card currently (perf gap might close with future driver updates(also if you want to include mfg etc))

I saw a 4080S on a site i buy some second hand stuff from sell for just shy of £1100 the other day, think it was on there for less than 24 hours! Cant remember which exact card, gigabyte one i believe.
 
Tom's Hardware report the RTX Pro 6000 has appeared on a dealer's website for $8565. If they have stock, it'll sell!
(This is the 96GB VRAM version of the 5090 for enterprise customers)

Personally, I think I'm now resigned to waiting until at least autumn before finding a 5090 in stock.

I don't think it'll take that long on the 5090. The stock is definitely flowing through now, in a way it wasn't a couple of weeks ago. Cards still sell out quickly, but the ones way above RRP are sticking around for longer. A lot of people who've been active in this thread have now got cards.

As the number of people who want a 5090 to actually use it, rather than scalp it, falls, the viability of scalping will also fall. At that point, you won't be racing the bot army on every stock drop. I'd hope that by the end of next month, the 5090s would be more generally available.

That's a good point re the 5080 VRAM issue, I keep forgetting that. Since I posted my comment, a used 4090 FE sold for £2k. Absolute madness. I really need to get a 5090 and sell my 4090 FE if this continues :D

Yup, that's the one.
2x 300w connectors to 1x 600w plug.
With iCue for monitoring, that was the attraction.

I am not sure how iCUE is nowadays, but it has been known in the past years for being a bloatware that randomly ramps us CPU usage and makes your PC a bit sluggish. I suggest doing some research. I also experienced this myself because I have Corsair keyboard, but luckily my keyboard has it's own memory chip, so I can hard save settings to the keyboard from iCUE and then just uninstall it. I used to have Asus motherboards in the past and they required Armory Crate for updates, which is also a massive bloatware. That's why I stopped buying Asus MBs.
 
Yep iCUE is a system hog and was also causing my USB devices to keep disconnecting/reconnecting which seems a common problem. My PC is much happier with it uninstalled.

I'm not familar with iCue. Assume you can monitor various stats in real time? Will have to check it out.

Icue? Oh god where do I begin. Better known as the AIO killer during software updates. The amount of h150i's it has bricked you would not believe.

Years ago Corsair use to not only be a premium brand but with top notch customer support in the shape of Yellowbeard. When I look back Corsair were synomous with the best ram and fastest ram with the price to match. You paid a heavy price but you got quality and if you wanted the fastest ram Corsair were at the forefront.

Now they want to be one of those do it all peripheral manufacturers problem is that the Corsair I grew up sold out to multi conglomerate years ago now adhering to shareholders whims. They use to innovate and and I thought I would never leave the brand. Now they are a shadow of their former self. Everyone nows about Asus tax but the other company which is known for charging expensive prices is Corsair tax especially if it is in white like Asus.

For over 20 years I was a Corsair customer/fan. This last build I refused to use any corsair product as a matter of personal principle. If people want to use their products good on them, I am sure they will be happy with it.

I rather use a palit gamerock 5090 than use another corsair product....

oh wait maybe not that far but you get the idea :P
