Not the card I wanted, so I might sell it. Rather have a Gigabyte Gaming OC or MSI Trio OC card.
 
5090 incoming from MSI, with a MSI ATX3.1 MPG 1000w, bundle crap.

Could use some thoughts here on the hook up:

Have a 1300w Superflower ATX 3.0, with the 12VHPWR cable, not impressed with that. Was going to use the adapter since more current carrying wires. Except the power supply only comes with 4 Pcie 8 pin cables and my motherboard takes one of them. One of my EVGA cables may work, just need to verify pin to pin continuity matches each other cable

The other option is to use the MSI 1000w power supply with 12V-2x6, except it has two of those connectors on each cable, one for the card, one for the power supply. Plus only has 3 Pcie 8 pin plugs. Will have to see the wire gauge of those 12V-2x6 cables, it comes with two of those cables, too bad the card does not use two.

Any thoughts, will appreciate.
 
I wouldn't use the MSI PSU for a 5090. The 1300 W Superflower should be enough and with a decent cable can work just fine.
 
There’s definitely a large variance in these 12v2x6 cables. I purchased a new ASRock PG1300G PSU for my Astral, and the included cable was an absolute pain to connect. It was a much tighter fit than Nvidia’s standard adapter that came with the card. However, once seated, it provided excellent amperage parity across all 6 pins as per ASUS software. I’m not at all worried about a meltdown.

Moral of the story is choose your cable wisely. The tighter the fit, the better!

Thinking the same way, the 12VHPWR cable wiring though I don’t think I would use on a 250w card. It may be fine, just don’t want to chance it. Adaptor I am fine with.

I will have to wait and see once it arrives. Don’t think I will use it but if the wires are beefy, 16 gauge or better maybe, just having two connectors on the same cable seems like double trouble.
 
I picked up my second 5090 at Best Buy yesterday after the Gigabyte Gaming OC card I had developed SIDS after 20-30 minutes and I returned it. New card is a ROG Astral. I kinda screwed up buying it. I got a Telegram message from nowinstock.net, looked, clicked the link and got a ROG Astral. After I ordered it I realized the FE was dropping at the same time, so I wonder if the FE was running interference making it easier to get the Asus card. So far so good, the card is reporting nice even power distribution across the 12V-2x6 connector using a Seasonic native cable & PSU.
 
Signed up for the Nvidia program a couple weeks ago for 5070 12GB (vanilla)

We'll see what happens I suppose..
 
Was trying to reduce fan speed and temps on my 5090 as summer is here.

Managed to hook up 925 @ 2917 MHz. Runs around 2850 MHz for the most part similar to stock clocks on this gainward. Gets me about 5% performance boost compared to stock FE.

Wattage in the most demanding game is down to 400 watts. This runs at 600 watts stock and 450-500 watts with 975 @ 2917 MHz.

Stalker 2 is the game I use to test the undervolt as it crashes pretty fast when it doesn’t like the curve.

Not bad at all given my 4090 used to run at 500-520 watts. Never undervolted it.

I got an E-mail. Not sure what I'm going to do. Probably sell my 4090 to someone.

EDIT:
Wow my 4090 sold on EBAY for the same price that I paid for my 5090. It took 20 seconds to sell it. Crazy world.

What price did you list it as?

Quick update to this. The undervolt didn't hold. Last of Us 2 crashed after 1+ hours of play time. That is why I don't believe all these idiot YouTubers and Redditors who claim this card can run stable at 2900 MHz @ 900 mV. Honestly, they must be smoking some serious dope. I am back to my daily 975 @ 2917 with a +1750 mem overclock. Runs games non stop for hours. I am sure I can do better but I am too lazy to indulge. Games run 2800-2900 MHz all day depending on temps and what's going on onscreen. This card also spanks hard. I am getting about average 5-8% fps with my current setup compared to FE 5090 (always hard to reproduce due to YouTubers messing up their settings).

Looks like a second pop from ASUS. First the astral and now TUF.

Better than the Gigabyte Gaming OC card I had. Failed after 20-30 minutes. It could still boot and get into Windows sometimes, but the NV driver wouldn't load and I'd end up stuck at 1024x768 with the generic MS graphics driver. Sent it back to Newegg. Now I have a ROG Astral from a Best Buy drop. No problems so far, hoping it stays that way.
 
I'm starting to wonder if my name will ever pop up in the Nvidia 5090 queue. I guess owning a 2080ti wasn't enough. 🤷‍♂️
 
Trying a new undervolt curve. 950 @ 2932. Runs at 2880 MHz almost pegged. Played over 1 hour of Last of Us 2. Might try a bit higher and then call it.
Not bad right now.

Ended up at Microcenter the other day and picked up the last one they had plus a HX1500i that I originally drove there for.

Keeping that one. Already sold the 4090 to make up most of it.

This is no joke… as far as I can tell from looking at eBay I can sell my 4090 for an insane price right now.

It would be foolish not to buy a 5090 if I can get my hands on one.

My Zotac 4090 conked out after 1 month.

For the RMA, I had to prove I bought the card from BestBuy, since Zotac would not honor 3rd party sellers. The process took 4 months.

I bought a 4090 FE while I was waiting and I sold the Zotac when it finally arrived.

Zotac. Never again.

Karma... PS most manufacturers require proof of first hand purchase nowadays.

I got my card today and everything worked out but man.... I have the MSI 670E ACE mobo and it kept throwing up an error code 94 which tells you something is wrong with the PCIE configuration or device. The problem? It doesn't let you into the BIOS! Unbelievable, I reset the CMOS and the factory default is setup to "auto" which also throws the error code 94 up. So I bricked my system and had to borrow a GPU that isn't PCIE 5.0 just to get into the bios and manually set it to gen 5. I thought my card was DOA and I even set it up for a return but I finally got it working after doing some research on my phone and reaching out to someone with a spare card. I checked with GPU-Z and it has all 176 ROPs. This system sure is slow to boot, always has been and I have to say I'm starting to hate this mobo. This is the second one I got because the USB ports burned up and bricked my last setup.(A common problem with the first generation of the 670E ACE boards).

My 4090 should reach the customer tomorrow so I hope all goes well there. This person has 14,000 purchases and no negative feedback so I would think they are not out to rip me but you never know.
 
Received the 5090, was hoping to use the Superflower Power supply but short one PCIe VGA cable, and do not want to use the 12VHPWR ribbon cable. The EVGA cables and all my other PS VGA cables don’t match pin to pin.

Since a combo deal with a MSI power supply, looks like that will be the setup. These power supplies skipping on cables is frustrating. The MSI only comes with 3 VGA cables, if I put the 9070 XT in, for what ever reason I would be 1 cable short, 1 for mb and 3 needed for the 9070XT, meaning I would have to change the PS out again. Yet the MSI power supply comes with 2 12v2x6 600w cables for a 1000w PS, go figure.

The MSI has single wires for the 12v2x6 cable which I can use a clamp on meter to see the amps on each wire.

I've been playing around with RDR2. I'm using 2.5 DLDSR with DLAA and 2x frame generation forced through the control panel. Everything maxed out and I'm getting between 90 and 120 FPS at 4k HDR. Looks flawless. Hitman 1-3 can all be pushed with in game frame generation X2 and then force DLAA and 2.5 DLDSR through the control panel. Max everything and the frame rate is a solid 120FPS at all times on all levels. Forcing 6k super sampling on a 4k monitor with DLAA is just spotless.

Stalker 2 runs the same as it did on my 4090 which is to say flawless other than the starting village due to CPU bottleneck. One thing the 5090 allowed me to do is turn off DLSS and turn on DLAA without any loss to performance vs my 4090.

Cyberpunk is set to 4k with Nova Lut and enough 4k texture mods to use 24GB of video ram. Everything maxed with path tracing enabled and 2x frame generation. I'm getting 120FPS pretty much everywhere with a few minor exceptions where the FPS dips to 100fps. No crashes or problems of any kind.

I'm very pleased with the overkill options and the ease at which you can utilize them. I start rendering with Daz Studio tomorrow. From what I've read, I should expect a 50% bump in render times. I'm happy with the new card so far. I've pushed the GPU clocks up to the point where it fluctuates between 2992MHZ and 3100Mhz. I increased the VRAM until the card hit 2TB memory bandwidth and stopped there. I've created a custom fan curve that is silent but my card does get up to 78C with the fans running slower. Personally, I've used cards in SLI that hit 89C all day long without problems so I'm not worried. I don't think I will be messing with the card or the clocks anymore unless I run into instability down the road.

Those MSI PSU combos are a bit irritating. I saw a bunch of them, but the PSU was never as good as the one I had (Seasonic Prime) and they don't have enough 8-pin connectors for a secondary rig. A lot of them have ONE 8-pin. WTF. They could at least include a 12V-2x6->2x8-pin cable for each 12V-2x6 port. Some PSU vendors do that. I forget who but I saw some when I was looking at PSUs last weekend for a car/around the house portable build I'm working on. 12V-2x6 may be problematic at 450W+, but it's fine at 300W.

The SuperFlower 1300w is just as bad, it comes with only 4 VGA cables, 4 with 1300w of power! Anyways switching out the PS, will run a number of tests to make sure system is stable before plopping in the 5090. Using CPU graphics for now (9800X3D).
 
An MSI power supply that I tried recently suffered from coil whine, so I switched to a Seasonic which has no coil whine.
