I recently acquired a 5090FE. I have a 4K 240Hz monitor (AW3225QF) and I've been looking forward to using DLDSR to get the 1.78x and 2.25x (5120x2880 and 5760x3240 respectively) resolutions at full 240Hz (which requires the 4K to be driven with DSC, and that my previous GPU a 3080Ti could not do simultaneously). I will refer to these resolutions as 5K and 6K going forward. There is also the full 4x DSR setting providing 8K rendering resolution.

This is pretty great for games where you can gain a lot of extra image quality if you have surplus rendering horsepower. I am even able to run CS2 in 6K and I can hold nearly 240hz by setting it to Medium settings. This really solidifies for me the fact that I can wait for zen 6 before I upgrade my 5800X3D.

In addition, I have also found it to be a comfortable resolution to set on the windows desktop: Everything seems extremely sharp while having the nice there-are-simply-just-no-pixels look you get from MacOS HiDPI resolutions for example. After all I think practically speaking the approach is very similar. A larger resolution is being rendered internally and then downsampled nicely for display.

What I'm impressed by is the fact that I have not seen any prevalent UI elements that are fuzzy due to being designed to be one or two pixels wide and now getting smeared across different distributions of actual pixels, and text looks fantastic. I went to tune ClearType and there is no real discernible difference between options, which I also found interesting, so I am turning it off.

Just curious because I've heard some pro and cons and was wondering what you all think? My biggest concern is the support which I've heard asus doesn't have good support, but not entertaining sure.

I really dont know which one of these i should get, so like which is the best overall, i was considering the pny or the gameward but now that i see the zotac one is instock im not sure again. This is all so confusing

Has anyone had success redeeming a code from Amazon? They gave me a code but I got a message saying that it’s invalid or expired. Support was obviously clueless about the whole thing. In the end she claimed that I should try again tomorrow because apparently it won’t work until then and if it doesn’t work I should contact MSI. I’m in the UK if that matters.

Update: They emailed me a different code and eventually I was able to get it to work. I honestly think support made up a code to get rid of me yesterday because the one they gave me wasn’t even the correct number of digits. Actually redeeming it was still a massive hassle. I tried disabling ipv6 like people said but that didn’t work at first either. I restarted, enabled/disabled it a few more times and put the code directly into the redeem section in the app, it finally worked.

I have the GPU installed upright in a Dynamic Evo (not vertical, with the I/O near the top of the case). Any issue with TIM leaking etc.? Thanks!

It's 4,100 for the OC version while 6,300 for non oc what's the difference between the two I know barley anything about computers but I'm trying to learn

Hi guys, I'm building a new PC as mine is currently 10 years old and having issues. I'm trying to keep it around a "midrange" budget and it is an all white build.

I found the Asus Prime 5070 12GB (in Black) for $770 $CAD

Then the MSI Gaming Trio OC 5070 Ti 16GB in White for $1200 $CAD

I originally wanted to stick with a budget of around $600 CAD for my GPU. I was eyeing the 5060 Ti 16GB for $620 but after asking chatgpt and doing some research I figured the 5070 was better value.

So my question is, should I go for the 5070 or 5070 ti in white? The White card (5070ti) matches my build aesthetically, and that does matter to me. The MSI Gaming Trio White cards look beautiful and premium compared to the other brands. I have also read that the 5070ti is the best value out of the 50 series GPUs. The only thing is, the price. I didn't really want to spend more than $1K on a GPU right now. I figure if I REALLY need it in the future, I could sell my card and upgrade when the time comes? Oh, and the MSI Gaming Trio OC 5070 Ti sold out a day after me looking at it... so I'm having some regrets. But should I get it if it comes back in stock?

Or should I try to snag a super card when those release for the 50 series?

I plan to use my PC for gaming, like League of Legends, Fortnite, Valorant, etc.. Maybe some light AAA gaming here and there. I'm playing on 1080p but might upgrade to 1440p in the near future, especially after upgrading my PC. I also want to have the option to pivot into video editing and 3D rendering, though that's not something I'm doing right now. In my head I was going to go for the 5070 and if I needed the upgrade for something in the future, I could upgrade then. But the WHITE card just has me taken. It's gorgeous. And everywhere I read, people are saying the 5070ti is the best. For an extra $430 Canadian is it worth it to make that jump? Chatgpt says it's not worth it because it's 55% price increase for 15-30% performance increase but I'm not sure. I can't make up my mind. Please help 😅

I’m trying to decide between the MSI Gaming Trio and the ASUS TUF versions of the RTX 5070 Ti, and I’d appreciate some feedback from people who have experience with either card. I care about performance, including FPS, temperatures, and noise levels, since I want something that can run well over time without getting too hot or loud.

I also care about aesthetics and overall build quality. The card will be going into a Hyte Y60 case, so how it looks and fits in a showcase-style setup is essential to me. If you’ve owned either one or both, I’d love to hear about your experience.

Which one would you recommend and why?

Hey all,

I’m undervolting my RTX 5090 Founders Edition and noticed something interesting. At 850mV, my stock clock is about 1245MHz, but from what I’ve seen, other people’s cards' stock clock is around 1350MHz at this voltage point. The undervolt will increase 1000MHz from this base clock, so naturally mine will be around 2245MHz, while other people's clock will be 2350MHz.

Does this difference usually come down to silicon lottery and different chip quality? Or could it indicate another issue, like vBIOS limitations or software settings? My card runs stable at this undervolt, but I’m concerned it might be underperforming compared to the average.

Is this kind of lower undervolt clock at 850mV something common for RTX 5090 FE owners? Would appreciate any insights or shared experiences.

Thank you

Edit: I think I wrote it wrongly as other people misunderstood my points. I put my stock (base) clock as well as other ppl's stock (base) clock at 850mV

Hey everyone,

Excited to see the initial benchmarks rolling in for the AGX Thor following yesterday's release [1]. A recent YouTube video showed around 30 tokens/sec generation speed with gpt-oss-120b using llama.cpp [2]. Interestingly, users over in r/LocalLLaMA have reported similar performance (33+ t/s) on SFF PCs equipped with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395.

This got me thinking about the DGX Spark. NVIDIA advertises the AGX Thor as having 2 PFLOPS of FP4 performance, while the DGX Spark is listed at 1 PFLOP. *Assuming a roughly linear relationship between FP4 performance and LLM inference speed*, would that suggest the performance difference between the AGX Thor and DGX Spark might not be as substantial for models like gpt-oss-120b?

I'm curious to hear thoughts on whether this could impact the value proposition of the DGX Spark *specifically for LLM inference workloads*. Are there other factors (memory bandwidth, interconnects, software optimizations) that would significantly differentiate performance in a real-world setup? I'm not trying to say one is better than the other, just exploring how these platforms compare.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I have the chance to get the RTX 5070 Ti at a good price. I’m trying to decide between the GIGABYTE WINDFORCE OC RTX 5070 Ti or the Palit GamingPro-s RTX 5070 Ti.

 The price is the same.

Any recommendations?

Another important thing is that the Transformer model doesn't seem oversharpened like CNN or Other TAA alternatives (Sometimes you can disable the Sharpening). If there's one thing that i hate more than the blur, it's the sharpening filter. It makes everything look unnatural and brings details from textures and shadows/lighting that shouldn't be there. In short, a very dissapoint way of trying to deal with the Blur introduced by TAA (and the blur is still there, jsut with a worse image). Even in games that i can't disable the sharpening, Transformer looked MUCH more natural than the other TAA/Upscalers. Plus the fact that it looks better when still and RETAINS the image quality and clarity when moving is INSANE. That being said, this model has some very bad artifacts with alpha textures or moving objects getting in the way of view, with agressive trailing and smearing/blur. Still, the overall image is so much better that i don't care (for now). Hopefully this model can mature to a point where those artifacts can be minimized. That's all i had to say, i'm just kind of relieved that i can actually see the details of the game for once without needing to downscale the image from 4k or 1440p/1620p DLDSR (which is also cool for older games).

1. I want to game on FHD.
2. I want to play Campaign Games in 100 FPS.
3. I am upgrading from RTX 3070-10700k to Ryzen 7 9800X3D and (RTX 5070 TI or 5080)
4. There's a 400 USD Difference between the two cards.

Hi guys, I’m currently looking to get a new graphics card (5070 Ti) and I’m torn between the Gigabyte Aorus Master and the Asus ROG Strix. Which one runs cooler, offers better performance, and has more overclocking potential? The price is the same for me, so I’d really appreciate any advice to help me decide. Thanks!

I found a refurbished Quadro RTX 5000 Intel Xeon Computer Desktop for pretty cheap

I’m gonna order it and use it for AI and some little Gaming sometimes and Editing

Yes it’s not a Gaming Card it’s for AI and workstation

The CPU has 12 cores / 24 Threads

It’s a big upgrade and I can run AI stuff with it hopefully we’ll 16GB VRAM.

I found a Quadro RTX 6000 but it came with a 4 core CPU so I’m going with Quadro RTX 5000

If anyone owns or uses one that does AI and some slight gaming let me know what yall think :)

NVIDIA Jet-Nemotron is a new LLM series which is about 50x faster for inferencing. The model introduces 3 main concept :

• PostNAS: a new search method that tweaks only attention blocks on top of pretrained models, cutting massive retraining costs.
• JetBlock: a dynamic linear attention design that filters value tokens smartly, beating older linear methods like Mamba2 and GLA.
• Hybrid Attention: keeps a few full-attention layers for reasoning, replaces the rest with JetBlocks, slashing memory use while boosting throughput.

Hey so I’m upgrading from an rtx 2060, I live in the Uk and the prices don’t seem that bad but im just curious of the brands, do they all come with different problem or build quality or I shouldn’t worry too much and go for cheapest ? I m on a budget , The gaming pro and asus prime are more expensive but are they worth ?

I’ve finally joined the 90 train. Had a 4070 and upgraded to a 5080, then just sold that for what I paid…bought myself a 5090. Man is she thiccc, should I put 140mm fans on the bottom now?

I currently am using a 2080 Super 8gb vram and it's starting to have impacts from newer games and i wanted to upgrade but don't know what is worth upgrading to, 5090 is way to expensive but is a 5080 or 70/70ti worth it or should i do something else. I want to future proof it but i also dont want to break the bank too much.
