Absolutely Absurd RTX 50 Video Cards: Every 5090 & 5080 Announced So Far

[@GamersNexus]

And just to reiterate: We're planning to buy a lot of 5090s to review. Might try to get some sampling, but we rarely work with these companies on samples these days as we prefer to buy stuff as often as possible. Because likely a lot of this will sell out very fast, if you'd like to loan us something or sell us one of yours, email us when you get one. As for the rest, check out our RTX 50 series launch coverage here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moKbmIaMlLCsetk And check out our tear-down of this super cool prototype: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqrPmoB5o9d0hKs&

[@ElGoogKO]

The level of "stupid marketing" has long passed, we are into "defrauding customers" and "outright gaslighting when caught stealing from customers" territory now And they need to be punished hard, by even having them being shut down. But being foreign based companies, you simply impose a 100% tax of their income. So if they want to sell n your country they must pay 100% of what they make. No matter how much they make, everything goes to the state. You sell a new nvidia product?! Whomever you may be, all your earnings from literally everything you do, is forfeit. This is how you stop the influx of a bad product or bad company. Nobody will ever want to touch it with a 10ft stick

[@GGigabiteM]

​@@TogonzoMedia I had a Gateway 2000 P5-133 XL with a 512k COAST module.

[@GGigabiteM]

@@ElGoogKO When was defrauding customers not a thing? Substandard and fraudulent PC components have been a thing since the dawn of personal computing. PC-Chips and other Chinese/Taiwanese board vendors designed motherboards with fake cache chips that were no more than injection molded plastic bricks with pins stuck in them. They ran complex circular traces away from and back under the chips to look like they were connected, and made hacked BIOS versions to report said fake cache. They did this for literally years and were never punished. There were lots of companies that would buy low end CPUs and remark them as higher end parts and resell them to unsuspecting buyers. This is still a thing today.

The board partners likely never got a clue what FE was planned to be. They only get to hear pricing at the very last minute

Nvidia doesn't have the overhead of buying the chips from themselves, the AIB has to buy the chips. They could probably make something similar to the 2 slot founders edition cooler, but I doubt they can sell it at a reasonable price

Well, 2080ti, the closest we got to a 2090 since no 2090 existed, was 250, 3090 was 350, 4090 was 450. This is 575, so following the pattern of about 100 every series, it should be the 70 series, but depending on AI advancements, the wattage necessary to let it run may cause a 60 series card to go up to the needed 747ish watts for 1 horsepower.

It's so annoying when companies completely undo all the brand recognition built during the previous product cycle. It was nice when the MSI "Ventus" name meant something. It was nice when Asus used the TUF and Strix sub-brands to split their product lines. Gigabyte's motherboards have a great "Pro/Elite/Master" naming scheme within the Aorus brand that acts as an easy identifier for what tier product I'm looking at. Why can't we just stick to this stuff? Why do these partners seem determined to confuse us and push us away from marketplaces towards benchmark sites and videos? It feels like we're at a new low in the entire PC hardware industry when it comes to consistent, recognizable branding.

[@ATS_i_piss_on_G00gle]

Correction,a new low on everything across society..

[@MR-vg7yn]

The marketing department needs to pretend to do something. That's why companies change branding all the time.

14:38 *”Thanks Steve”* lol 😂 The Best GN episode ever, I saw what you did there and I’m still laughing Thunder Master caught me off guard lol

[@geoffm1019]

Stay strong Steve, thank you for not flying that hawk too close to the sun!

[@jf0314]

You got the "military grade" comments sooooo right lol. For those uninitiated, "military grade" means built by the lowest bidder.

[@osgeld]

yep you build them as rougged as required, and cheap enough to be disposable

[@bloodzkull]

*built by the lowest bidder but you still wildly overpay

[@MistyKathrine]

I mean, Asus using the cheapest parts possible wouldn't really be out of character for them.

[@1pcfred]

The lowest bidder that can meet the spec.

I think you should test the automotive grade coolant by putting it in an actual car, you might have to buy a few cards but that's the kind of journalism I subscribed for

[@jordanmntungwa3311]

pure stand up comedy while delivering consumer product news. Steve you are inventing a new genre right in front of us

[@phprofYT]

I am working on a square fan design. It will easily out perform all circular fans because it doesn't waste the space on the corners. It's an xyz world, people.

[@greebj]

And it will be pegged at 100% duty cycle to also maximise utilisation of the fourth dimension.

[@Reac2]

Have you tried using AI to generate the corners? No need to "brute force" air flow

Jesus the level of roasting you provide is beyond cathartic. These videos inform so much of my where I spend my money for my builds over the years!

[@meyatetana2973]

Curious how fast that power connector will catch fire with this one lol

[@reloadingdontshoot1]

As fast as if you dont plug it in properly. That was the only reason they melted: people are dumb. None of my like 8 4090's with 1000w XIC bios's had theirs melt

[@Ordoscc]

​@@reloadingdontshoot1Watch the damn video about melting bios connectors, UserBenchmark.

[@jamesm568]

Plug the damn thing in correctly! The majority of the burned connectors were user error with some other anomalies here and there, but overall, the melting connector was many a problem that happened to a small minority users. The plug could be better though.

[@sirius4k]

Thanks to the innovation of the AI military-grade circles, the likelihood of this not happening is 201%. Besides, the airship boosters will gently float you away from danger should something happen. Float or rip your face off.. one of these.

[@android175]

Steve himself confirmed it was user error

[@SuperCocoKiller]

Those 50XX series are giving me a lot of red flags, maybe waiting for a AMD card isn't so bad of a idea, my 3060 Ti still kicking strong anyway, can wait.

[@olivergottkehaskamp3369]

What a fantastic comedy piece on a sunday morning, thanks Steve! Some manufacturers are trying really, really hard to give me a reason not to give them money for their insane antics. 😂

[@babalonkie]

When manufacturers are spending more time on lights and art than practicality... that should be ringing alarm bells to stay well away.

[@chrisking6695]

People by that stuff dude. I also don't like the designs. I can't stand that childish looking 3 fan super duper LED shit. I like LEDs for ambient mood but you can overdo it. Not every frigging thing in your PC case needs to be lit up.
