Not likely. I imagine they'll make an effort to double down (second plug or marketing magic) long before they accept that investment as a loss/failure
Not really, latest update was a 2027 roadmap window:

they could miss it again, 2 years after blackwell launch would be early 2027, but general feeling will be H2 2027 at the soonest.
it is unllike the 5000 series a big node leap (TSMC 3N), I think the N1x gpu chiplet is already on TSMC 3N and give some idea of the density gain for Nvidia cores it seem impressive but not easy to distinguish the gain made from non having a gddr memory controler and other simpler element, but would not expect the monster gain from going to Samsung 8N to TSMC we saw on lovelace, they will not be able to reduce die size like they did back then if they want nice gen->gen boost
With how little Nvidia makes on GPUs for us it's probably hardly worth the silicone to takes chips away form the AI for us. So expect it to be even worse of here you go here is your 5k you if you want if it not we don't care.
. Your probably right.Do they ? There is some counter example out there.
thats a btf specific thing and it still has the regular power connector, you use both.
I didn't either... Then I bought a Thermal Grizzly WireView Pro II and found that two of my 5090's pins were out of balance, with one exceeding the 9.1A rating (over 10.5A) while the other was at or below 6A. I purchased a new cable and it's been good since then - but it was a ticking time bomb that I was completely unaware of as someone who knows not to torque the cable to the side and to fully seat the connector.
I'm good. I feel my cable when gaming and it isn't hot. Almost all don't have problems. I don't plan on buying anything extra because it isn't a problem statistically.
My cables weren't hot either, but I've got four 180mm fans blowing in from the side which may have helped keep things from getting worse. Here's hoping your 5090 will continue to be just fine!
You sir are definitely not and electrician and definitely don't understand the problem and I wish I wasn't an electrician that didn't realize how garbage this cable is. The problem is with each gaming cycle those tiny ass contact points heat up(by the time the cable feels warm it's to late the damage is done) and expand just a tiny tiny bit and when it cools they shrink. That makes higher resistance which make more heat. Over x numbers of cycles it will fail 100% it's just matter of time. I don't see any 5090 running the full 600w used heavily being around in 5 years. Now if you limit it to 4090 levels it probably will be ok.
For what it's worth, my 4090 FE can draw 660W while my 5090 is limited to 600W. Although I agree it's an absolute shit connector.
Built in obsolescence at its finest.
One can remove the burnt up plastic section of the connector and if the posts solder junctions are still OK, shunt posts (+12v) 1,2,3,7,8,9 with a copper plate, holes drilled and soldered directly to the posts, from the copper plate you can have any kind of hookup one wants. For the Common, do the same, posts 4,5,6,10. Shunt to ground both pin 11 and 12, sense pins which will allow full 600w of power. Basically making two bus bars and connecting to them anything you want. On the power supply I would just go inside of the power supply and tap into the 12v section and make a pig tail hooked up to the power rails.
Yep, Jensen himself wants houses to burn down. I mean lots have so far...
At the current trend they will reduce the plug size further for cost saving reasons so they can afford to give you the same amount of vram as past gens. The plug of course will heat up and you will be required to have an always on paid subscription where A.I. will monitor your plug temps. Failure to maintain your always on paid subscription will be considered a warranty voiding violation and your card will self destruct.
