Legitimate 5090 help

[TheEndIsNear]

Ok I bought a msi ventus 5090. I have a 4090 I used in the same case and that hits 63c. This was hitting 92c and 100% fans within seconds of playing a game and of course throttled. I sent it back to get fixed. Now it throttles worse and the damn fans sound like a jet taking off. I do know one thing I'm never buying and nvidia card again. The b.s. problems I've had with this thing my god. And I have a 7900xtx and 9700xt to compare it to with 2 different machines so I can tell you first thing their drivers suck now. My question is what do I do now. I can't sell it, it's defective as far as I'm concerned. When you get slightly better framerate than your 4090 because of throttling it's defective. What I want to do is join leather jacket guy on stage and... I'd rather not say. I don't know what to do I don't want to eat thousands and I will not sell a defective card to someone. I've been in this game since the 70's and I have never had a product as bad as this. Nvidia stock is going bye bye too I want nothing to do with this company. I am not brand loyal either I can't stand people who cheer for corporations any of them. So any ideas? This should never have been released.

What does your GPU-Z log look like? What sensors are maxing out? Have you pushed for a second RMA with this data?

It's the gpu temp. I literally launch a game and 10 seconds later I hear the jets lol. I'm going to have to push for another RMA I just wondered if anyone had the same experience and if this is normal or not? I know some run hot but damn.

Nothing wrong with 5090s in general, you obviously just got a faulty card. Deal with it by repasting or start a return instead of going on about NVIDIA.

My 4090 is such a beautiful card. This is a turd. Especially with all the problems. I don't get people defending corporations. Corporations are garbage. All of them. If they were people they would be the worst people you've ever met in your life. Especially the company I work for now. This is what I would have done differently. Who got Nvidia where it is? Gamers. So I would have thrown a bone to the gamers instead of gouging them and use 4nm. It would have taken longer yes but the good will they would have garnered would have been great for them. Instead we get this cluster.

Even with the recent...missteps that NVIDIA have, this is a faulty card. The fault is on MSI.
The one thing you should have got from this is "do not buy Ventus" (maybe unless you have plans to do custom watercooling), not "do not buy NVIDIA".

And you really should have considered return / warranty / RMA / whatever support before ranting this stuff.

return it back and get a refund... msi from time to time cut corners...
buy a different aib

There is nothing wrong with the RTX 5090, and the drivers are improving fast. Looks like you have a card with an assembly defect, and that is an MSI issue. Return or RMA it if you can't be bothered fixing it yourself.

Well use the 4090 or 7900XTX/9070 and call it a day. You had a previous topic about this card, RMAs help if within time limit otherwise if outside of that get it repaired or sell it for donor parts...

Sometimes people get part rma then just sell it


Make a move, the more a wound is picked at (your 5090) the more its going to get sore and you can't send it back because you ran out of time.

MSI Ventus 3x problem

Omg I can't believe people thought I was joking. Yes I have a 4090 a 5090 a 7900xtx and a 9700xt. Not everyone is poor. Unfortunately 90 percent of the world is and I am very lucky. Seriously I have never had a card throttle this much with bus utilization at 100 percent, it throttles at 100...

5090 is terrible

After 2 hours with the 5090 I think I'm done with it. What a buggy pos. 100% bus utilization, sounds like a dustbuster like the old days and stuff just doesn't work the way it should. In my opinion they should have never released this. My 7900xtx runs fine but the new drivers are screwing up...

Do some benchmarks showing it works and gpuz screenshot and post it for sale as is or RMA it again. Nothing immoral about selling a defective item if you're open and honest up front.

Now it throttles worse and the damn fans sound like a jet taking off.

Just send it back again. As long as it's under warranty, they're obligated to fix it. If it comes back with the same issue, keep sending it in or escalate the problem. After a few failed repair attempts, the retailer, AIB partner, or even NVIDIA should approve a full replacement. At least, that's how it usually works here.

If it's still within the return window there is no reason to RMA.

That's true, but I figured he's already past that window, he mentioned sending it in once already to get the issue sorted. That's why I suggested really pushing them to honor the RMA and make sure they follow through this time.

Msi is acting like gigabyte it seems
