I'm really curious about the performance, especially with RT. At first they said no high end models this time but it still comes with 3 connectors which is weird because that would indicate a 350W card at the very least. Especially since it's rumoured to have 60-64 CUs and 16 gigs of VRAM.

[@g0nz0theGreat]

3 power connectors? by jove that's almost 4!

[@Scytian1]

@@valentinvas6454 It's 2 connections by default, it basically means that it will have base power draw at high 200s with OC models at mid 300s. There is no issue with pushing 350 through 2x8Pin but if GPU goes over 300 manufacturers add third one in most cases.

Why is the 5080 literally half a 5090, but the card are almost the same size?

[@morpheus_9]

Because Nvidia sucks. I listed the Bare minimum for specs for Blackwell below. I doubt the 5070 will beat the 4070 super because it’s clocked significantly lower and has 8 less SMs (1024 cuda cores) 5070 56 SM 7,168 cuda cores 256-bit, 16GB GDDR7 $549 5070 Ti 80 SM 10,240 cuda cores 256-bit, 16GB GDDR7 $749 5080 96 SM 12,288 cuda cores 320-bit, 20GB GDDR7 $999 5090 170 SM 21,760 cuda cores 512-bit, 32GB GDDR7 $1749 If they actually configured the GPUs this way, I would probably buy one even though the SM counts are still too low. The 5070 really ought to have 60 or 64 SMs, 5070 Ti 84 or 88 SMs, 5080 104 SMs but you know NGreedia!!!

[@GSP-76]

@@IVPixel yeah I was thinking the same... maybe Nvidia has some crazy new mechanism for cooling under that shroud...or the 5090 can just go up to much higher temps before throttling occurs. Regardless, I have custom loop PCs so I'd be using a waterblock.

It's weird that NVIDIA is offering compact cards based on a tiny PCB and all the AIB models still end up being huge.

[@Osprey850]

I think that it's because they're all trying to be cooler, faster and/or quieter than the competition and huge heatsinks and triple fans are the way to accomplish that.

[@Raider_MXD]

@@Osprey850 To me it seems that the AIBs are struggling to provide additional value these days. In the past reference cooling solutions used to be horrible and there was significant factory overclocking potential, but since the last generation at the latest both aspects are no longer true. Therefore I assume that NVIDIA's cooler probably is more than good enough considering that air can be pushed through the fin stack without obstructions for the most part due to the tiny PCB while the AIB solutions will turn out to be unnecessarily oversized.

[@Raider_MXD]

@@exscape I doubt that. In previous generations air flow though the cooling fins was obstructed by the PCB behind them. This time the PCB is tiny and air can flow through the cooler freely for the most part which should massively increase efficiency, i.e. significantly smaller coolers should be sufficient.

[@Raider_MXD]

Considering the past issues with the 12vhpwr plug I wonder why no AIB had the idea to put the power connector in a spot where the wire does not need to be bent by 90 degrees over a short distance. Only NVIDIA has chosen an angled connector for their founders edition.

[@NoNameForNone]

Cost, you got to save it somewhere to make money with NVidia. They probably spend it on RGB and cooling. A normal connector is easier to intigrate in a manufacturing process as it can be pick-and-placed during PCB assembly. Angled connectors are either not possible to be placed machenically (lots of ifs and buts wether it's possible or not) and cost a manual step which is expensive. If it needs a riser board it is way more expensive. Or it is prone to failure/defects which is also expensive since it requires a better QA process and manual fixing if issues arrise.

[@Raider_MXD]

@NoNameForNone It's fine to use a normal connector if it's either put in a spot where the wire does not need to be bent in a short radius because of the case side panel getting close or if it's shipped with a cable with angled plugs to avoid that issue.

[@dh66]

Ok all those power wires are 16 gauge or less, 90 degree bends are fine as long as your radius of the bend is no less than 6 times the diameter of the wire conductor.

It's when Steve has a cigarette hanging off his lip.. and says was it good for you too?

[@Wamboland]

tbh the MSI Inspire looks great - finally a card that is not all bulky, plastic stuff, prints and rgp. Its feels like a mature card and not something for the kids to play with. I hope other will follow and release similar designs.

[@esportsfan2118]

Great idea by Steve. We want to see the actual products not just specs and performance analysis. This just became the definitive video to show to anyone who is looking at Gigabyte, Asus or MSI cards. Would be great if u can do a similar video for all the monitors there at CES.

[@Struct.3]

The size difference between these after market coolers and the FE versions is insane, The funny part is that they rarely get much of a performance increase from all that extra

[@Dryvlyne]

Exactly. It's all so the OEMs can justify charging more. I'd much rather have an FE if I could get my hands on one.

[@Louis_Bautista]

They're more quiet though which is worth it for some people. I bet that 2 slot 5090 FE is going to be one loud card

[@Struct.3]

@@Louis_Bautista I'm pretty picky on sound and I can't hear my 4080 ever, the the AIO for the Cpu is pretty quitet also but it overpowers the gpu sound.

[@ravenkroft]

I love that Steve just wants you to touch the GPUs on his behalf! great job anyways Tim!

[@undertone2472]

Gigabyte saw this mans coming and nailed down the gpus. 😂

[@9r33ks]

"So here's a GPU, it has fans, fans have fins, and those fins help improving the cooling capacity" xD

[@phipsi3922]

2 8-pin connectors on a gpu gives you a power pudget of 375 Watts. If there are 9070xt models with 3 8 pin connectors, that means the AIBs expect that these cards can excede that. I guess the 9070XTs standard tdp will be around 350 Watts. This is a lot for what seems to be 5070 level of performance.

[@rulewski33]

3 x 8-Pins are mostly for Stability reasons. My Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XT has also 3 times 8-Pins even though 2 would be more then enough. Heck there are even 7900XTXs with 2 times 8 Pin. Its really coming down to if its a Top or lower Tier Model.

i expect the performance of 5070 to be a slightly weaker 4070 ti super with less vram. i believe the 5070 ti is gonna be the best nvidia gpu by far

[@oakfig]

We want smaller. These GPU are insanely huge.

[@skapunker1986]

Its one of the reason i choose to go for Custom Watercooling, rather than having 3 or 4 slot cards, u can just have the waterblock on a single slot or 2 slots. Saves alot of space, specially useful for Small-Form-Factor builds

[@MaxIronsThird]

the RTX5000 FE models are supposed to be really small bc of the new design with the PCB between the two fans.

[@WrexBF]

I hate how oversized those cards are. The 5080 will pull only 30W more than the 4080. Those 5080 cards don't need to be that massive.

[@CalaTec]

While having smaller versions would be nice, having a big cooler to help it run cooler is not a bad thing necessarily, I know redundant, right? And I say so as an ITX lover. I think I will be keeping my 3080 ti for a while. I don't think 5080 will offer a lot more performance without DLSS4 and all that rubbish.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

dont just look at size. weight is more important. some models are just bigger to fool buyers in to thinking they have good cooler, while in reality having fewer cooling fins. ​@CalaTec

[@CalaTec]

@@user-wq9mw2xz3j there is only one way to know, I take for granted that people watch reviews with temps and other stuff in mind to make sure that they buy good products, especially if you are going to spend 1000€ or more. Besides, I don't think what you comment will be a problem on high end cards, I have never heard such a problem on any review on any of the high end cards in the last 10 years at least. I might be wrong.

[@jonboy2950]

I think the same cooler for the 5090 is being used on the 5080 as that reduces manufacturing costs. So yes overkill for the 5080

[@DBTHEPLUG]

You want it to be as thin as a laptop and be at 99 degrees celcius at all times?

Tremendous hands-on. One might say it was touching. Tim created a fun vibe, very enjoyable indeed!

Prediction: 30% more performance on a 30% bigger chip that consumes 30% more power and costs 30% more.

[@lucazani2730]

​@@256shadesofgreyit actually costs 25% more. Since there's no way nvidia will increase price to performance in the high end, that means that it will also only be 25% faster
