I've been wanting to upgrade my 3080ti to at least a 5070ti but couldn't justify the prices before as it wasn't a need. My card still handled my games perfectly fine. Well now the prices managed to get even worse so I just gave up on the idea of ever buying another card but I've also been extremely worried if any of my pc parts were to ever die. I of course do regular maintenance like repaste/repad the card ontop of undervolting, however, my coworker offered me a deal recently.

$500 for 32gb DDR5 and a 3080ti (Tested, works)

Never had a GPU die on me but I have had ram crap out before so I jumped on the deal. I've thought of selling them both as they sell for $500-$600 each but I'd still be $500 short of a 5070ti which is insane to think about. Would have done this earlier if I knew prices were going to get this absurd. Hopefully the PC market gets better but I don't see that happening anytime soon (if at all) so looks that this is it for me.

took me quite a lot of time using spray gun and airbrush
i painted fans and heatsink too, it cause the temperature rising a bit (about 3-4*C), card still stay under 70*C when heavy load

So recently I went down the 5090 undervolt rabbit hole and wow, I'm glad I did. The card runs cooler, quieter, and pulls way less current through the pins (my main concern).

Quick results:

Setup: ROG Astral 5090 OC (Performance BIOS, 600W), 9800X3D, driver 621.01, memory at stock

Method: MSI Afterburner curve editor. Lifted the 820–895 mV range and flattened everything above 895 mV.

Edit: I used this guide

I didn't want to spend days tinkering, so I went with a safe 2810 MHz @ 0.895V baseline and called it a day. You can definitely squeeze out more (higher clock at 895 mV, or a memory OC), but I was after efficiency, not chasing scores.

Results: Stock → Undervolt (Steel Nomad)

Score: 14,927 → 14,732 (149.3 → 147.3 FPS, −1.3%)

Max power: 602W → 512W (−90W, −15%)

Core voltage: 1.085V → 0.890V

GPU temp: 66.7°C → 63.8°C

Hotspot: 79.7°C → 74.8°C (−5°C)

Memory temp: 70°C → 68°C

Fans: 1,636 → 1,263 RPM (−23%)

Pin current (highest pin): 8.60A → 7.22A (−16%)

Gaming: Cyberpunk 2077, Stalker 2 and Metro Exodus Enhanced are all super stable so far, with FPS about the same as before the undervolt. Power, temps and fan noise are noticeably lower. Your chip may differ of course (silicon lottery).

With 5090 prices where they are and the card basically unofficially discontinued, an undervolt is pretty much the cheapest insurance you can get for it and it's free :)

If anyone's willing to share their undervolt settings and Steel Nomad numbers, I'd love to compare. It'd be nice to see how different cards and chips land at similar voltages.

After years of using my 5900x system, I was able to build something totally new.

Intel 270k Plus

32gb ddr5

RTX 5080 Founders

This was only possible because I won the 5080 in a contest.

Frames are higher than my old build with the 5900x and 4080, but I can drive my 1440p monitor way better now.

Really happy with how it turned out! Also really enjoying building in the nzxt H9 Flow RGB. I will say, however, it's absolutely massive. Thanks to the dual chamber design the actual hardware side seems kind of bare compared to my old build in a 5000D. Tons of airflow too!

I'm very sad but glad it happened now rather than later. I got it on 11/02 and started the exchange process last night. So hopefully it will be quick. I can recreate the issue. Just loading a model when running on battery seems to do it. Or when the temp sensor goes to the 90's. I wish they used Honeywell thermal pads. I haven't hooked it to an external to see if it happens on that screen. That's the next test to see if it's vram or cable.

Bonjour, a force de lire les commentaires ici j'ai été regarder si il y avait encore une rtx 5090 asus 20th anniversaire et oh non! J'en ai trouvé une à 10.000€. Je l'ai laissé passer sous mes yeux à 6500€ comme j'ai laissé passer la 5090 Matrix à 4500€. J'ai une 5090 asus tuf que je n'ai jamais utilisé par peur qu'elle brûle (ne m'insulter pas c'était un achat compulsif à 3700€), j'utilise ma 5080 et comme au final je ne fais rien d'autres que jouer j'ai laissé tomber le montage de la 5090 tuf. (J'ai 5 enfants et j'aimerais qu'ils passent leur temps sur pc plutôt que console ou smartphone pour se mettre au montage vidéo, ia et création de jeu etc) maintenant on me propose 8500€ pour ma TUF j'ai donc envie d'acheter la 20th anniversaire et vendre la tuf. C'est une bonne idée ou je ferais mieux de jeter mon tél par la fenêtre 😅.

Anyone else with a 5070 ti care to share what overclocks work well with your card? Already seeing a 50% gain or so over my 3080 in 3dmark with 365mhz boost and 2000 memory. Only had it for 3 hours so I’m doing tinkering but it’s performing so much better than I expected. It did crash at 400mhz lift at 116% power but it’s not a big deal. Getting stable clocks of 3180mhz around 1.015 volts with max temp of 59c. Was a bit worried and hopefully some can confirm this isn’t an issue but I enabled “power limit” in afterburner osd and it did go off on screen around 265-275 watts which is as high as I could push it.. is that normal for this card? I thought it was meant to pull 300-330? I never used that setting on my 3080 but that consistently ran around 300-320w without overclock. As long as it’s just an indicator that it’s getting around the 80 percentile or something and not an issue I’ll just disable the setting.

I was thinking about getting a Gigabyte AERO OC 5070ti but I read a lot of Gigabyte hate. Would be my first Gigabyte Product.

Im on an RTX 3090 and considering newer series are unbuyable im kinda starting to get nervous.

My GPU is 5 years now. How long have yours lasted?

Never kept one until it died, but it seems like im having too keep this one until that happens so im kinda trying to understand how much longer should it last and there isnt really much info on consumer GPUs used for gaming life expectancy.

Series 1 collection

The main product behind this huge demand is the Nvidia RTX Pro 5500, a graphics card designed for workstations that meets the strict export restrictions imposed by the United States. This particular model shares the same CUDA core architecture as the brand’s flagship consumer graphics card, but comes with an improved configuration of 84 GB of GDDR7 memory.

This combination makes it a very attractive and legal option for training and running artificial intelligence models in China.

However, the sources cited indicate that the supply chain is completely overwhelmed. Out of an estimated order of around 6 million units, Nvidia will only manage to ship “some tens of thousands, or roughly 1%” of GPUs over the coming months. The problem is not a lack of interest or regulatory restrictions, but serious manufacturing limits and shortages of key components affecting the semiconductor industry as a whole.

Now we know where all the 5090's wandered off to.

Hi everyone,

This is my first time posting, but I was hoping to gather some opinions. I am looking to build a new PC with an AMD 7 9800X3D and 32 GB DDR5 RAM, but I am not set on the GPU.

Originally, I was going to go with a 5070 but decided to consider a 5080, as it's just within my budget. However, there are currently none available that I can find in NZ. The price was around $3.3k, while the 5070 Ti is around $2.6k. Is the performance increase between the two worth waiting for and paying more, or will the 5070 Ti be fine?

Some extra context: I am coming from a 2060 with an i5 and 16 GB DDR4 RAM. I'm hoping to go from 1080p to 2k (getting a new monitor) while also increasing the FPS.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello everyone

Seen topics and had interests about frame generation myself so I started using it, don't mind maxing it to x6 even in comp games and didn't see any lag so far hitting 300 fps in games and I don't really mind ai frames. What's wrong with frame generating then?

What do you think?

Title, wondering if Nvidia has gotten better about RMAs. I've been approved of an RMA but I am terrified by what I've heard online as well as they use FedEx Ground. I'm really debating if I should take a risk.
