RDR2 still has something new for me each playthrough.

If AMD do not fail the drivers or software stack and the real performance is what they call it today, this would be the first successful launch for them. The XT price is good for today market but the nonXT one is crazy. I'm not in the market for a new GPU and only expect full reviews for fun...

Yup, very. My take on this: if 9070Xt performance = 5070Ti then price = 5070Ti -$50. And in 3 months another -$50, coz AMDiscount. Street price..it depends...

6 times the diameter of the cable equals the radius of the bending, for most cables https://www.elandcables.com/the-cable-lab/faqs/faq-how-is-the-minimum-bending-radius-determined-for-cables#:~:text=The%20cable%20bending%20radius%20is,sheathing%20and%20insulation%20types%20used.

I just opened the case and here is the situation. The angle of the shot is different.

In a 7+2 or 7+3 PCI brackets case there is enough space for some cards. Side panel is closed. 3090 TUF vs 4090 TUF also as comparison.

Let's take this EVGA 3090Ti as example. This PCB uses 24+3 phases design. This specific card uses only 21+3 phases. The 12V is split in three circuits monitored by a voltmeter connected to the shunts on the upper right side. From there the circuits are going in the copper layers inside PCB...

Or be a man and tear down your PSU and GPU, remove the connectors with a heat gun and a 100W solder iron. Put some 16AWG-LSZH cables instead. For safety you can add 10Ah fuses for each wire. Problem solved and warranty terminated, but no worries.

EVGA last unreleased card followed Nvidia design related to power. Only two shunt resistors visible.

This old design almost never failed. Even with heavy oxidation it can still do 600Amps :)

Some older cards not used anymore. A GTX1060 and a RTX2060. The rest of older cards i gifted or sold in time.

Nvidia already killed "Moore's law". Jensen said that on 40 series launch. Now Nvidia is at war with "Ohm's law". Next is Kirkoff, Newton, Joules and Pythagoras.

In Der8auer case his cable was faulty already. The mating cycle for this plug is 30-50. I'm pretty sure he used the cable for more than the connector specs related to mating cycle. For cables in parallel you can apply Ohm's law for resistors in parallel. 1/r1+1/r2+1/r3+1/r4+1/r5+1/r6=1/total...

If you have the money for the 5090 then you should get an alerting system based on IR/thermal vision.

Had said it before on other forums, that plug should not be used safely for more than 300W. Add 75W from PciE slot and there you go 375W max.
