Just ran memtest vulkan on it, it stops at 80, but that's a stress test and it doesn't go higher.
Yeah if it will start to overheat it will go to Gigabyte service, I will RMA it and never buy anything else from them. But for now, it is what it is.
Memory overheat will be easy to spot, but if it will slide off VRMs well I don't think there is any sensor on them visible to monitoring tools via API. But we will see.

Just don't give Gigabyte an excuse to decline your RMA and keep using as is would be the best move and since you've made them aware of the issue early you can refer to that ticket later down the track should it actually start causing problems... which will be hopefully when there are no more 5080s left for exchange and then they have to give you a like for like replacement to the 6xxx/7xxx series .

Finally found a better sweet spot on my 5090 for undervolting running slightly faster than stock and slightly slower than max OC.
900-950mv seems to be the go to range for 2900mhz and up with 1.00mv for 3000mhz... 12VHPWR Connector per WireView Pro maxes out at 61C at 500w+ load after a 1hr loop of Port Royal vs my max OC profile which runs at 640w 3127mhz and 73-75C on the 12vhpwr.

Nvidia reportedly raises GPU prices by 10-15% as manufacturing costs surge — tariffs and TSMC price hikes filter down to retailers

Looks like inflated GPU prices are here to stay

Looks like price increases are coming soon.

I got a new card
mostly just that my games I play run alot better on nvidia
RTX 5080 MSI Vanguard SOC
Basically no coil whine

did some overclocking on it

got #1 in NZ!!!

This did not come to pass... we're seeing 3900 AUD (2500 USD) distributor prices now down from 6000 AUD. Soon you'll be seeing complete 5090 systems for the price of what the card alone was selling a month ago and this already happening in AU. Re-sellers don't have to buy Arrow Lake bundles anymore to get allocation

Anyone tried undervolting to 700 mV yet? How much frequency has one to sacrifice for that and how much energy does that save compared to stock settings?

if I overclock it and do 69% power limit and (250w I think) and get basically the same performance

I can easily get ~10% at stock power levels, and stock performance at about 20% under stock, and when I say that I mean about 220-240w rather than 280-310w because this thing rarely if ever wants for its full power budget.

I'd be keen to hear how much of stock performance they can keep while even more drastically dropping consumption.

 

[Macro Device]

I know you can shave power usage off by about this amount, I'm more interested in running a 5070 at .7 V so it theoretically pars GTX 1060 in terms of wattage. Curious how much performance will be wasted.

 

[Nikhar]

I've had my 5090 since early February - PNY EPIC-X ARGB OC - $2,199 (Original set price for their top model)

TPU Specs Factory clocks already +218 - I managed another +270 and it's been running fine for nearly 4 weeks.

At least 100hrs in RT/PT games and ~120hrs raster running at full-tilt

I'm not a benchmarking enthusiast or XOC guy. But in-game clocks look alright... I have the Alphacool Core block that I'll install when I have downtime from work, and maybe swap for the APEX block later.

TG's WireView peaked at 640W - Max temp never exceeded 75 in PT titles or 65 in raster

Games that load RT/Tensor cores (Cyberpunk/INZOI/etc.) settle around 3,315 MHz @ 1,100 mV and happily stay there for hours on end

Raster-performance based games will occasionally hit 3,375 MHz @ 1,120 mV

Maybe in a couple months I'll run the full suite of benchmarks... Right now, it's doing fine. Plus I have an undervolt as my second profile.
And I guarantee synthetic benchmarks will not hold these clocks as my games do... Caveat?

 

[Frizz]

Some games like MH Wilds and Clair Obscur/UE5 games use very little watts too like 250-400 max on the 5090.

I would never in my life trust that 12VHPWR cable to do that. You got some nuts, sir.

 

[Nikhar]

I would never in my life trust that 12VHPWR cable to do that. You got some nuts., sir.

Scary sitting next to a nuke, I won't deny that.

But realistically that looks like a pretty normal transient spike (of easier detectability, maybe)
640W aligns closely to the TPU reviews of the FE and AIB cards' 20ms spikes

FE Spikes ~ 644W
Gamerock Spikes ~644W
Astral LC OC Spikes ~646W

And given that nanosecond burst spikes of a 5090 may well be over 1000 or 2000W depending on the tightness of the power delivery config, I think anyone who owns a 5090 has got some nuts to "trust" what I dubbed the "Twelve Volt FirePower" cable...

Plus the updated cable for 50 series has been stripped of the already limited safety measures that the previous version had

I'd rather have four 8-pin PCIe cables neatly cable strapped off the side, or two independant 12V2x6 sockets on a card with this requirements... Better safe than pretty

 

[Macro Device]

four 8-pin PCIe cables

At copper AWG14, you only need two. Alas, no one adheres to common sense and we have what we have. Probably those invented this wormoid are unaware what physics is.

True since their inception was capable of 300-320W per connector... Maybe 350 when using high purity solid core.

nGreedia was the biggest investor in furthering development of the new cable (I might be wrong, but I know PCI-SIG created it and team green pushed it to it's limits too quick out the gate)

Even with the ~100% headroom on 8-pin connectors, some PSU manufacturers cut costs using 16AWG within reason.

But remember EVGA's 3090 Ti Kingpin Hybrid?? Back then I was scared seeing two 12VHPWR sockets on one card.

So I settled for the 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Hybrid with three 8-pins just because I knew those connectors were mature and had more pins per terminal.

If they were going to use a singular cable, maybe 20pins would've grown in better, even if it were uglier

How the turns have tabled...

So you got 75c on your wireview while pumping 640w?

 

[Nikhar]

Yes, that's the highest temp I've seen so far since the cooler's fan config is well built and keeps it in check.

It's still the quietest card I've owned by far! PNY was cooking with this cooler config yet there's not much chat about it

Here's the cooler performance of the 5070 Ti model, which shouldn't be too far off

12V2x6 terminal in/out temps peaked just a tad over 50... I recall 51, but I'll round that up to 52

Partly due to the Antec C8 case having an impressive, unobstructed floor-intake.

3x 140mm reverse blade fans feeding the card and direct airflow to the 12V2x6 cable

Especially when you realize this is for a 5060Ti 8GB, a card that most enthusiasts in their right mind wouldn't buy anyway?

Im going to try and get this and one of the yeston ones because it makes members seethe.

If anyone over seas can get me one HMU.

Ahhhh more than happy to spend the $$$ to support this; so designs like this can continue and continue :3























The scent is not strong at all. I think it smells almost fresh like Purel soap. My wife smelled it and thought it smelled like ocean immediately. I pressed and she said not like “the beach kind of ocean.” But like an ocean or beach scented candle.

The camera is terrible at pulling it up but the shroud is certainly...

Actually, I'd support this! Simply for the fact they're doing something different... If there wasn't a market of people who wanted this, then it wouldn't exist. And products would be just the same generic and boring thing. As dumb as I think the scent module in the Yeston card is, it brings attention to their company and people buy their products, encouraging competition.

Because if everybody wouldn't settle for less than an Astral, only ASUS would survive, giving one company power to contol prices at will (e.g. nGreedia)

Driving some level of innovation by making unique products tailored to smaller groups of interest? Absolutely welcome in this industry.

Put that card in a white themed case with RGB light set to match the colours and you would have a system a bunch of anime fans would drool over!

haha I considered it! but this is destined for the test machine to periodically check various things with nvidia and wayland, server (desktop-less) GPU compute etc; specifically the 5xxx series drivers.

That's almost a shame. That is a show-piece card..

Waifu-scented GPUs!?!?!?

 

[Solaris17]

Waifu-scented GPUs!?!?!?

Only the 9070XT the 5060Ti wont be. Though TBH it is discussed like this is going to fill your immediate area like a scented candle, but I can tell you straight up you literally cant smell it at all unless you basically put your nose on it. The scent isn't weak by any means its not like the scent module has faded or anything, its just not very heavy; you wont smell it at all inside your machine.

I'll post the 5060 when I get it.

 

[Macro Device]

I would rather grab a dark cemetery themed GPU. Something vampiric, bats, blood, all that stuff. Maybe even with coffin aesthetics. Once I have the money I'll buy the best GPU on the market and build the cooling this way.

 

[Macro Device]

Is this just Daniel or does 5070 Ti (or whatever Blackwell GPU for that matter) usually consume less than its advertised max TDP?
