NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

That said I do intend to buy a Thermal Grizzly Wireview Pro for that physical sense of security.

Nvidia seem to have really gone out of their way to make everything about this generation of founders edition cards just as awkward as possible. I know the angled connection isn't necessarily new but, when I was looking at water blocking one, it just seemed unnecessarily convoluted.

I never tire of these comparison photos, haha. Enjoy the card! Are you upgrading your monitor, too?

Not immediately, I've currently got a 27" Dell S2721DGFA which is 1440p and 165Hz which I'm still happy enough with, and it's only three years old. I'd love to go OLED at some point but they're still a bit pricey and I don't think I've got room for anything much bigger or ultrawide on my desk, as I've got bookshelf speakers sitting either side of the monitor. Definitely something to look at in future though.
 
Anyone with a 5090 and an MSI x870 board?

I seem to recall people were saying they had longterm issues with the motherboard coming out of sleep mode/cold boot which I never experienced.

However, since installing the 5090 FE on Saturday, the system does feel a bit sluggish when out of sleep. I wondered if it was related to PCIE 5.0 somehow.

Have its predecessor - a X670E - and not having any troubles with sleep mode. Used to have an occasional problem with cold booting but latest Mobo BIOS cured that. My one crash with my 5090 thus far was from cold boot ... too early to say if that's going to be a recurrent issue or not ; the generated crash report suggested an NVIDIA / driver related issue.

I think they designed the FE to make it as easy to place and connect within an SFF as possible

So what's everyone setting for their undervolting clock ? So far I set 2400 max to be more on the conservative side with a 0.895 max voltage.

Those are rookie numbers. You need to bump them up. Seriously though, at least set it to 2700 at that voltage. Should work up to 2800 and slightly above. Just set it to 0.900v and 2800 that should work or I’ll eat my hat. Just maybe leave the memory while testing that. Just make sure you follow a proper undervolt guide so you keep power savings at idle and flatten the curve at the top end.

About 2750 at 0.9. Left the memory alone.

Worked in all but a couple of games for me.

Higher bench score than stock, far lower power draw, far less heat generated.

Double protection with per pin monitoring and accurate power readings. This is the way. I plug in one time and pray to a little shrine for mercy from the PC gods, that’s how I monitor voltages and how Jenson intended it to be.

I have an altar with a pic of Jensen in a lime green mankini, Gregorian chant music playing in the background, Candles lit, I shake a box of VRAM and then turn on my PC, Works every time.

I have 2800 at 0.895v and +3000 on the memory. During most game sessions maxed out 4k (some with DLSS) it will maintain a clock of anywhere between 2550 to 2650.
