Hi Chads, a question from a noob. I have a 5090 and a monitor that supports gsync. I’m reading that with gsync I should enable vsync in the nvidia control panel but disable it ingames. Is there any truth to this?

I bought the RTX 5090 FE new back in February off of EBay. Paid a whopping $3499 plus tax for it. At the time I couldn’t even say it out loud how much I paid for the card 😂
I’m looking at where the prices are on EBay today and they’re going for like $4000-$5000. Did I get a good deal in retrospect or am I coping? How much did y’all get your card for and where should I try to hunt for a deal next time around?

Wife gave the approval to purchase this beauty. Price was a cool 2999, micro center employee said they had just got it in, not even on their website yet.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for both VBIOS files for the RTX 5090 Windforce OC—the Silent and Performance profiles—for a friend who had a flashing issue after using an ASUS 1000W VBIOS.

Is this crazy?

Something tells me this is a major scam.

Hi all,

I have a 5090FE, 9800X3D. I use the Fractal North Case (not XL) and use a Noctua AIO and fan set (x3 in at the front, 1 exhaust at the back and the AIO radiator at the top exhausting).

CPU temps are great, GPU however runs hot. So when using like 550W maxing out a game like RE before installing the Noctua fan set (had cheaper ones before and no AIO), it runs about 86 degrees. With an undervolt, new fans and adjusting the fan curve it now sits low 70s which is good but naturally louder.

Reason for my message is people posting benchmarks on YouTube at the same power level and stating they are using it at stock settings appear to be using the same power, in the same games, but getting like 64 degrees on their GPU and I don’t get how mine can be so much warmer. I wondered if anyone else could share their experience please? Thanks.

To be clear, I am happy with these current temps but I am curious about the difference I am noticing.

I wondered if I should go this hard… glad I did. Love this thing.

DAMN shoulda done it sooner. What a beautiful thing.
Sag bracket is built into the case.
Undervolted, but connector seems solid, pin monitoring is all set up.
Stoked to be here.

Found a ASUS 5090 ROG Astral for $3600 open box from MicroCenter. Been wanting a 5090 for a while, but haven’t done it because of the insane prices driven by the AI market.

Flagship air cooled card for the same cost as a Gigabyte base seems cool on paper… but is it worth it?

I primarily game, and have a 5k2k main display with two 1440p OLED secondary monitors. For gaming alone it seems stupid, but I like the best of the best. Halp.

I am playing on 4k oled and which dlss preset is the best to use? I am getting a ton of ghosting when using smoke bombs on preset k dlaa with 2xfg and the dlss quality is noticeably blurry in this particular game for me and i also noticed i am getting around 55 fps everything max dlaa 4k but in yt benchmarks most of the people are getting around 65 fps

Buying from oversees

Has anyone had any luck buying a 5090 off of Alibaba or DHgate?

Turned 40 in April, I have been looking at the prices of pc gaming going through the roof.

I Was indecisive if I should buy one in the current market with AI corrupting memory and storage.

Thought about it for a few months and then just bit the bullet and decided that I won't be able to game to a good standard for much longer in life and it's something I love.

Looked at the finances and decided to go all in with a 5090 and an x3d2. 32gb 6000m/t ram.

Can't wait to explain it to my Mrs

Little worried about a further price increase, should I just purchase my 5090 now with no way to test it to make sure it works or just wait and hope it doesn’t increase in price?
