NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

guys its saying on the news that Nvidia will rise their prices because of Trump tariffs, they will also build a new American factory and build GPU's there, Nvidia sayin they will be hit by this new tariff thing, with 5090 on a ridiculous price anyways it might be it will be way more expensive?
 
Any 5090 owners here with AC shadows? Just wondering whether 59fps average, native 4K, everything max is correct? Also peaked at 63C during the benchmark, all ok?

I can enable DLSS, but it kills vsync.

I wouldn't call the 5060ti awful. Yes, you can get much better performance for a little bit more, but for people that have itx builds, show me a card that's below 210mm that has similar performance? There is none (well, there's 1 4070 by gigabyte that's out of stock everywhere that's 200mm).

So I turned on DLSS and then vsync via the Nvidia control panel since it’s disabled in game. Is this how I should be doing it?

The tone of the 5060ti 16GB reviews I've seen has been pretty negative, but a lot of that seems to be down to a combination of anger at a) Nvidia's dishonest marketing (again) and b) generalised fear in the US about where prices might go with tariffs.

Other than that, it doesn't look horrible value for a "mainstream" level card, with a respectable, if not spectacular, uplift over the 4060 Ti.
 
Downloaded The Last of Us Part 2 last night. First game I’ve played, so far, that draws the full 600W down the melty cable with my big overclock. I have the Xtreme Waterforce.

The frigging heat in my apartment after 30 mins was insane. After 8 beers last night I thought it would be funny (and it was to be fair) to stick my face on the front of the case where the radiator is attached. I now look like Harvey Dent from Batman.

But in all seriousness jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez the heat :D. Glad that’s going through a radiator and not into my CPU AIO…. Voltage is like 1.03V ish @ 3200Mhz ish. Think that’ll be one where I have a different profile active :D
Bro you got all year sauna for free. I use a portable aircon in my room during summer, but I plan to invest into a proper split aircon this year tho.
 
Weirdly I’m still getting tearing with frame gen on. Seems okay if I use quality upscale instead since vsync seems enabled again in game.

Working now, Gsync hadn’t applied. Have gone for native plus some grame gen. Tearing has gone and feels smoother. Looks like VRR also wasn’t enabled, so it’s about a million times better now.

Could anyone recomend a good quality 12vhpwr cable for a 5090, ideally 90 deg or designed to be flexible. Was rather shocked at the dreadfull little one that came with my Gigabyte card that just turned up :(

Keep in mind, it depends what type of socket is soldered to your card (standard or reversed), and what direction you need.

I am currently using this one:

Seasonic 90 degree 12V-2x6 adapter cable

But I will use Style B from Corsair once the Alphacool waterblock arrives because I need opposite direction:

CORSAIR PSU 90° 12V-2x6 Style B Cable

Both seem good quality, the Seasonic one is pretty expensive.

My bad, been doing some digging and I need one with 4x8pin connectors on it as my PSU doesn't have a 12vhpwr port :(

Finding lots with 3x8 but very few with 4.

And yea found that as the current cable is the wrong way for the new card
