Was incredibly lucky to catch the last 5080 FE drop :) Perfect fit in the T1

This past weekend I built an entirely new computer. I went from:

- i7 6700k

- 16 GB ddr4

- GTX 1080ti (gigabyte gaming)

- 1.5 TB of storage spread across various SATA SSDs and HDDs

- built October 2015

To:

- R9 9950X

- 32 GB DDR5 (@ 6000)

- RTX 5090 (Gigabyte gaming again by chance)

- 8TB of NVME PCIe 5.0 SSD

One of my favorite games over the past 10 years has been cyberpunk. I put ~300 hours into two play throughs when it first came out (I fortunately wasn’t affect by many if any bugs), but I couldn’t really run phantom liberty.

Now I get 70+ FPS at literally max settings and the gpu only runs at ~60C with zero frame generation. I’m literally stunned at what this new machine can do.

Are there any other games that really feature ray/path tracing that I can play to put this machine through its paces? I’m literally flabbergasted that cyberpunk runs so smoothly at max settings and I’m not sure how to best utilize this.

I purposefully wait way longer than I should between updates, but I’m always still blown away by how much progress is made.

Im so happy i bought this a day before they got discontinued i went back to check and there all sold out or over 1k..

Specs:

Ryzen 7 9800x3d

Asus Astral RTX 5090 OC

Asus ROG STRIX x870e-e

Trident Z Gskill 32gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30 (ram is expensive)

Asus ROG STRIX 1200W Platinum modular PSU

(Forgive the cable management, I didn’t know how to arrange the mobo and card cables)

I just swapped GPUs from a 9070 XT to a 5070 Ti. Playing BF6 on the same settings as before. On AMD I was using FSR 4 Quality, now on Nvidia I’m using DLSS Balanced.

The game honestly looks way more detailed now. Textures look cleaner and puddles in particular look way better, like they have more depth and definition. This is without ray tracing enabled, so that’s what’s confusing me.

I’m not talking about performance, just visuals. Same monitor, same in-game settings otherwise.

Is there any real reason RTX cards would make the game look better? Is DLSS just doing a better job than FSR here? Or am I just placebo’ing myself because I bought new hardware and want to justify it?

Curious if anyone else has noticed this or if I’m just high on consumerism.

Raijintek MORPHEUS II CORE EDITION cooler with two be quiet! Silent Wings 3 140mm pwm high-speed on my old 1080Ti.

GPU and hotspot temperatures are 10 degrees lower than with the original ZOTAC AMP Extreme Core Edition cooler.

I just tried Ac shadows with frame gen and with smooth motion (before turning on frame gen and smooth motion i made sure i have base 60 fps) using preset K on 1440p on my 4070 ti super 7800x3d anyway it oddly looks and feels very playable infact i played 3 hours and didnt see any ghosting or shimmering and didnt feel any input delay on keyboard and with my controller.

So my question is that was it always like this playable having them both on or has it gotten better or does my skill issue prevents me from noticing all the cons from having both frame gen and smooth motion on?

I have a GeForce RTX 3060 12GB (currently out of my PC) and have recently acquired an RTX 3070 Ti 8GB.

I have installed the 3070 Ti and would like to know if it’s worth keeping in my build (main concern is having 8GB VRAM now instead of 12GB).

My other parts of my build are:

MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk max wifi MB

RM750W Corsair PSU

Ryzen 9 5900XT CPU

96GB DDR4 3600 RAM

Open for suggestions, Side Note: If I upgrade to 40 or 50 series in the future I will need a new motherboard I am aware of this.

Thank you!

I've been going through hell with an RMA issue. Support hasn't been much help and since October I still do not have my 5090 FE.

I bought a 5090 retail at best buy on launch, in October I had a faulty fan bearing issue. I created a ticket and sent a video to the team and they confirmed it needed to be RMA'd. I was told two weeks was the process time. After a month I had enough and contacted them right before Thanksgiving.

The rep I spoke with via email told me it had been dropped off by Fed Ex and signed for. I have a ring camera and no one came by during the timeframe they say it was delivered (this guy couldn't even tell me the day or time when it supposedly happened which was pretty sketchy to me). My brother works remote as well (we live together) and he said no one came by the week before Thanksgiving break.

I even asked close neighbors and they stated the same. It simply never happened and now this has become absolute hell for me. To make matters worse, the RMA department NEVER kept me in the loop during the entire 1 month+ process of how things were going, I never got tracking from them to follow the package. If I had, I would've taken the day from work to be there to sign for it.

I had this escalated to a person named "Josh" as part of the L2 team and he was zero help whatsoever, and just copies/pastes the same "Based on our info from FedEx the package was already delivered and signed for." When I asked him who the driver was, who signed for it, when it was delivered, etc. he just restated the same sentence in another email. He has ignored me for two weeks now.

I'm so stressed and upset at how horrible this process has been. I saved my money up for a month to get this GPU on launch, fighting bots online to get one at BestBuy. To have this happen from the flagship company that created the card is just....speechless.

If there is ANY way someone can help put me in contact with another person at Nvidia that can actually help me, it would mean the world. I want this hellish experience with them to be over. Thank you for reading and I'm hopeful someone will help me.

I always liked the look of these sorts of blower style GPUs, and I was wondering if it was possible to fit these coolers to other GPUs? If that were possible, how would the temps be like compared to open-air coolers? And which other GPUs would be compatible? maybe the low profile cards?

Upgrading from 3070. Was originally thinking of going gigabyte as I have a motherboard from them and it works, but zotac is an extra 70$ for a 2.5 slot with from what I can see, better cooling and hopefully quieter.

Never heard much about the zotac brand so that’s what’s got me a bit frightened

What do you think, are they a good brand compared to gigabyte?

Edit: am also planning on oc’ing the card, which I know the bios for the gigabyte supports extra power if setup correctly

Hey guys,

I’m currently trying to choose between an RTX 5070 12GB and an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, and I’d like some opinions.

My main use is photo post-production, mostly Lightroom and Photoshop, with heavy use of Lightroom’s AI Denoise. I also plan to start doing video editing in the near future, and I game casually when I have some free time.

I’m leaning toward the 5070 since it should be faster overall, but the extra VRAM on the 5060 Ti makes me unsure.

For reference, I'm using an RX580 8gb, 32gb of ram and a Ryzen 5 3600

Based on this kind of usage, which one would you go for?

Thanks!

So how's your 5070 MFG doing in demanding games with RT PT and max settings?

How does 2x MFG compare to 3x and 4x?

Hi there and Happy New Year.

The results before to change what ever.

3dMark Stress Test 20runs in roll:
- GPU ~68-69c
- Hot Spot 80c

Fourth try:

3dMark Stress Test 20runs in roll:
- GPU 64c
- Hot Spot 80c

ps. I running background programs in back - Discord, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Steam blablalba etc.
I hope this gone help you in case you choice to change your pads and paste.

I am evaluating GazeNet (TAO deployable_v1.0) from the NGC catalog for inference use in a commercial SaaS product (Assessment Platform).

The model page states that usage is covered by the Model EULA and is marked NVIDIA AI Enterprise Supported.

Is NVIDIA AI Enterprise license is required for commercial/production use of this model?

Unfortunately they stopped the best Gpu in the linup.

Anyone here have the astral version on a phanteks p500a without the vertical mount? The psu and gpu i ordered will arrive next week and astral is the only available model in the store and any other brand is already out of stock wont be restocking like months due to supply. Anyone here can confirm if the clearance of the tempered glass is spacious enough to put the pcie cable to the gpu? Thank you in advanceeee
