In short, the ASIC really doesn't seem to determine a graphics card's performance ability (so far), but could help with undervolting ability (or efficiency).

Oh there are services like PSA that will encapsulate, authenticate, and give a grade (out of 10) for trading cards. I’m sure no one has done it for these so it would just be fun. It’s super expensive now to do (about $60 per card) due to rising...

I know I can go to ebay, et al to find these, but they tend to be fakes. I know a lot of people never use these and have them lying around collecting dust. They can even be the older style with the round ear piece. These tend to 'just work'...

Very bad ass. Just, unfortunately, not specifically built with 12VHPWR issue compensation in mind. Small risk or no - with these GPUs worth so much there's a great chance a failed GPU will just be a refund for purchase price versus replacement soon.

What PSU were you using out of curiousity? I am picking up an AI1300TS to help fight off this BS...

According to this - high is bad and low is good - if anything. My RTX 5080 AORUS MASTER (33.3%) and RTX 5090 SUPRIM (62.4%), attached. EDIT: fixed link - thanks erek

Pretty neat - not sure how it correlates...but a new way for all of us dummies to measure e-peen. lol EDIT: I guess high is bad and low is good! More info...

I would love to get some of these cards, for sure. I am a card guy so yeah - it is weird but it's a fun way to connect with your favorite players...er...GPUs. Thanks for posting and highlighting these! Definitely too rich for my blood but it...

in stock on prime for 1269/500 respectively.

Just got my 1600TS installed today. Seems well built and it's some extra piece of mind on the pin monitoring.

If you have connector anxiety and would like a PSU that can monitor and deal with it, MSI seems to be first to market here. The Ai1300TS and Ai1600TS are able to do that and are out on the market now, I have one in my system. Despite the "AI" in...

I guess reading comprehension is beyond you. RT performance between the 9070 XT and 5070 TI is so close, depending on title it makes little difference. The 9070 for most is faster than the 5070 and for the millions of other titles that many are...
