[@LoneChipmunk]

Personally I'm eager to see benchmarks and overclocking data of Gigabyte's flagship card. It has mounting points for a 4th fan like the Asus card and their website says it has a notably higher default boost clock than every other AIB card.

[@SoulScience11]

Even without boost it draws about 700w in some games. With boost it will draw about 800w are you okay with that?

[@LoneChipmunk]

@SoulScience11 what are you talking about? None of these cards can safely draw more than 600w. It will destroy the power cable if it does.

[@Hullbreachdetected]

@SoulScience11 those numbers are for the whole PC or at least combined with the PCIe slot. If the power draw exceeded 600W through the PCIe power socket alone, then either the cable plug would melt or cause the PSU to execute emergency shutdown (or worse explode).

[@danwood4171]

Interesting to hear about cpu bottlenecking. Early on with the 4090 I discovered and explained to many in the Stable Diffusion community why my perf with my 5.8GHz i9-13900K was so much better than what they had. But there are ways to work around that with batching or compiling the model. Also note that Ubuntu seems so much more efficient than windows when driving the GPU to the max. I wish you had included the GIGABYTE - AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 MASTER ICE 32G in the review. It has a 2.407 GHz base clock and 2.655 GHz boost clock. If I can spend a couple hundred on the great liquid cooler that boost rate is a significant increase over the FE. What I don't understand is the MSI suprim liquid specs.. They don't give a base clock. Just some Extreme(?) Perf at 2497 using MSI Center. And the boost is actually slower at 2482 MHz ??? I might be happier with a base clock of 2.4GHz vs some Extreme Perf mode fry-your-gpu mode that hits 2.497 GHz. 2.4 is a great base clock and the Gigabyte has a great boost rate. So I wish that was included in the comparisons.

From the reviews i have seen, the ones mentioning coil whine has all been from the FE model. Hardware Unboxed has done a review of the Suprim and mentions that it does not have coil whine like the FE.

[@catalinneculita4988]

@@hussamkwsI saw that but it means nothing. For example I’v got 2x strix 4090 with coil whine heared from 6m away from computer with close case and that was on normal gaming fps, compared with gigabyte gaming oc that I can hear very low coil only on very high fps if I put my hear close to the card with open case, so diiference is huge. A good method to give a relative feedback from coil whine noise is to drop power % and see when coil whine disappear. So on strix 4090 I can hear coil whine close to the card even if power is dropped to 40%, but on gigabyte 4090 gaming oc at 93% power there is no coil whine even if your ear is very close to the card.

[@ShadowLancer128]

5090 FE will be the smallest, but also the loudest, and perhaps the hottest temperature GPU of the entire market-wide lineup, but it will have the lowest MSRP price tag of $2,000. Most other GPUs will have MSRP's of $2400, $2450, $2500, $2600, and even $2800 MSRP's. But we all know the GPU shortage is going to continue, and that we're looking at 100% markups on the scalper market. I truly believe we're going to face the first ever $5,000 market average price tag for the 5090. I'd be shocked if NVIDIA stepped up to the plate and started making enough of them.

[@7ens3nButt0n]

It isn't 2022 anymore though. Shortage is only artificial. I really hate this constructed fomo. People need to chill out and just wait. The supply will come. Like with the ps5 it's always in stock nowadays.

[@1SaG]

"Gamerock".... of Gibraltar. As impressive as the dimensions of the 5090 FE are for a card this powerful (and power-hungry) ... the partner cards seem to want to have none of that and simply chose the "ludicrously large and heavy" approach. Which makes the AiO cards more attractive than ever, I suppose. If you're willing to pay more than 2000 for a regular 5090, might as well throw in a few hundred more and get a much more compact, liquid cooled version.

Great deal, the 5090 is not a replacement for the 4090, it's bruteforcing performance at the cost of heat, power draw and it's much more expensive than a 4090.

[@DeridderEvelien]

then you had a great deal mine 4090 supreme was 2400 uero

[@CyberJedi1]

You can get around a +10% performance when using an AIB card and doing an overclock on the core and memory from what I've seen, which is not bad, makes the 30% performance gain over the 4090 a 40% gain, which starts to look better.

[@USMCGUY2020]

You can also overclock the 4090 which brings the performance gain back down to 30%.

[@Hullbreachdetected]

The uplift vs FE is normally between 5-10% depending on PCB design, plus quiter/cooler core temps thanks to better cooling solution. Getting stable +10% is excellent OC result, you mostly get single digit gain. So expecting +10% is a little too optimistic. Another important thing is pricing, as the AIB premium can be ridiculously high. Considering all 5090s are 600W limited due to single PCIe socket, we won't see much difference between these AIB cards since 575W limitation can be adjusted to 600W for all of them, so the difference in performance should be miniscule. Considering that, I would personally look for either better acoustics/thermals and pricing. If the Palit Gamerock OC will be at or less then +10% premium above FE msrp then it seems to be a better option as long as I put a heatkiller block on it. If I wanted aircooled option then MSI suprim soc. But really there's plenty other options as only a fraction of 5090s have been reviewed so far. I would wait for all of them to be reviewed and prices announced.

Coil whine?

[@Ifyoucanreadthisgooglebroke]

Apples to oranges on that performance per dollar. Lets see if these things end up with a street price south of 3k. So it looks like, for all the greatness of the new design and reasonable hopes that it will inform future ones, the cooling on the FE is simply too conservative and ends up subpar compared to the ones that went ahead and kept to a bigger frame. That is too bad. They probably could have stretched it out a bit more to 2.5 slot or so and been competitive while still coming in smaller than the rest.

How do card drawing over 600W work when 12VHPWR is only rated for 600W?

[@TechPowerUp]

PCI-E slot provides up to 75w

[@creeperexplodes45]

@TechPowerUp even then it's quite insane haha. I can't imagine what TDPs would be like for the 6090 🤣

[@7ens3nButt0n]

@@creeperexplodes45they leaked a 5090 TI die and it shows insanely 800W with 2x 12VHPWR connectors lmao

This is the 12th 5090 benchmark video I have watched with several more to go and looking forward to buying the white gigabyte aorus 5090.

[@Urbanhandyman]

Considering the probable lack of availability of any RTX5090 cards for most consumers, I'll be satisfied with a pink WAIFU card for $2,600 plus tax and shipping.

[@MrAnimescrazy]

@Urbanhandyman damn you would pay that much?

[@Urbanhandyman]

@@MrAnimescrazy Only if it's "HOT" pink with LED backlighting.

[@dariominiello9934]

Havent seen a gigabyte review yet, is it better or just looks?

[@MrAnimescrazy]

@dariominiello9934 don't know havent seen the gigabyte 5090 reviews yet but I am trying to catch up on all of the 5090 benchmarks but I expect all of the AIB cards to be similar to each other the same happened with the 4090.

[@johnkeane320]

Only the Asus models having 2 hdmi really limits my options

[@Ultrajamz]

The partner cards are DOA to me and I assume the FE will be sold out because $2000 is just for hype pricing. Basically a dead generation to me as a 4090 owner.

[@External2737]

You do realize these cards will sell out through 2025? There is no pretending demand will be met by supply.

[@Qiuvox]

Can u for the love of god stop saying 4090 to the 5090?

[@davey5361]

Imagine paying $800 over msrp for the astral, just for it to run louder and hotter than a card $500+ cheaper with a negligible performance difference
