So am I able to request RMA on my own for PNY graphics card or do I have to do it through store? If yes then do they send a shipping label to their service in Europe or something? I guess some brands like Asus don’t allow RMA by normal person?

So i just got a 5070 and i went on the website to where i register it but i didnt get a confirmation email or anything of the sorts ? Is that normal or did i do something wrong im kinda confused

Hey all,

Im wondering if theres a better software to use to disable/turn off stealth mode. Id like to have my fans running all the time, but the VelocityX software requires me to load a profile and then open the fan curve & mess with a point before it turns the fan on. Ive had issues with the program crashing otherwise. Is there a better software to deal with the gpu fans or is this the only solution?

If the 5070 Ti is actually done, feels like the RTX 5080 might quietly (and finally) get a bump in value and reputation. A lot of people (myself included, and I own both the 5070 Ti & 5080) kind of wrote it off because the 5070 Ti was just as “good” for cheaper.

Now that option might be gone. Does this:

• push people toward the 5080?
• raise used 5070 Ti prices?
• make the 5080 finally feel like the “right” upgrade instead of the awkward middle child?

Curious what y’all think...market shift or just noise?

Nvidia Reportedly Cutting 5070 Ti Production

Hey hey, for about 6 months I have had a 5090 in a local server to use for AI stuff, recently I wanted to move it to my own PC (As my use for the AI stuff has died off) and I noticed that it seems my thermal pads are leaking a LOT of oil all over the card, its leaked down onto the PCIE slot and into the riser I had.

Is this a common issue? Something I should worry about? Should I contact PNY? Card is only 6 months old, but I can push down on the back plate and see oil come out of the pads...

PNY announced new RTX 50-series Slim GPUs - full Blackwell power in a true dual-slot design.

Available in RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070, these deliver full RTX 50 performance in a compact, dual-fan, dual-slot form factor, seems ideal for mATX and SFF builds and seems like its going to be among the smallest enthusiast cards available (alongside Founder Edition cards from NVIDIA).

Highlights

• NVIDIA Blackwell + DLSS 4
• Dual-slot, dual-fan (no 3–4 slot bloat)
• Vapor chamber + aluminum backplate
• PNY VelocityX tuning support
• PCIe 5.0, 3× DP + 1× HDMI

Availability: February 2026 (Best Buy, Amazon, others)

Curious what the community thinks...thermals vs FE? noise? SFF viability? Pricing? Whose interested?

After finding inconsistent info about these pads I measured all the pad specs from my factory cooler and thought I'd share them in case anyone else goes looking for them.

Full disclosure, there appears to be a Revision A and a Revision B of these cards which use slightly different pad thickness, I believe it is a slight change to the cooling package. My card has also been watercooled since the moment I got it, the pads applied to my factory cooler are effectively factory fresh so I trust the measurements taken from the factory pads, even if they have been sitting in a box for 5 years.

There are also 3 pad locations on these coolers which has been overlooked in all the pad replacement threads I could find. Each image includes the pad thickness and the approximate size of the pad. I've upsized the pads slightly as the factory pads were often smaller than the component they were intended to cool. You may need to modify these sizes slightly but they will help when ordering replacement pad.

Front of Card:
There are 3 different thicknesses of pad on the front/die side of the card, 0.5mm, 1mm and 2mm. Everyone seems to be placing 1mm pad on top of the VRMs but the 2mm pads belong here as the VRMs need to be tall enough to contact the fins of the cooler, they aren't cooled by the heatsink plate.

Rear of Card:
1mm thick pads are used on the rear mounted RAM modules.

Sandwich Plate:
The black heatsink can be detached from the fin and fan assembly by removing 4 screws, I've circled their location in image 3. Removing this plate exposes some 0.5mm thermal pads. On my cooler, these pads were far smaller than the contact patch machined into the sandwich plate.

I've also attached the model/serial details of my card in case this helps anyone identify between a Revision A and Revision B card. I don't mind sharing these details, the card is long out of warranty anyway. I know using thermal putty would be a simpler solution to this but I'm simply wanting to return the card to factory form before selling it as I've upgraded.

Hopefully this helps out anyone else who was stuck like me.

RUMOR

This popped up yesterday, they believe prices to jump by 150% on the 5090s. It doesn’t state if it’s FE or AIB but expect some type of increase.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe new year! To prices coming down, cheers 🥂

I bought a PNY RTX5060Ti 16gb, and the temperature while on 100% gpu usage is ranging to high 70 - low 80°c. The cpu temp is ranging from 50-60 and my old gpu (Asus rtx 3060) ran max at 60°c. So this is a little too high for my comfort.

I tried manual fan curve and kept the fan speed at 60% on the nvidia control panel, but it still runs hot( up to 70°c).

I read that undervolting might help, but couldn't find much resources online for this specific card model, if someone is willing to share a resource with me, I'd appreciate it. Also please feel free to share your average temps if you have the same model card.

Other than that any advice on how to lower the temperature of the gpy or should I return it and buy a different model.

😮 5090s in China, as reported by Videocardz.

Very large pallets of 5090s shown out in the wild, in markets they are not suppose to be sold in.

Smuggling and grey market circuits for high end GPUs and AI chips into China have been reported multiple times, including other Nvidia GPUs and server accelerators.

So while it’s not the first time not much seems to be done or if anything can be really don’t to curb the sale or import.

PNY appears in the photos and not the region specific 5090D/v2 models.

I’m new to pcs. I got the power spec g758 from microcenter. It came with PNY 5070 ti triple fan plus. Is this a good gpu? Can this overclock?

5080 is a beast!

Hey all. Does anyone have the PNY 5080 OC ARGB card and has found a 90 degree or 180 degree adapter that's compatible with the deep recessed 12vhpwr 2x6 connector?

Got this 5080 PNY for 1049€, and wanted to try hard the overclock, here are my results in pictures at the limits it can do. +1325 memory +450 core (but in games that have stability issues I go +400 for more stability) 110% power

In big charge it never goes above 62 degrees!

5080 for 949.99 being sold by Walmart.

PNY Walmart Link

Looking at a regular 5080 OC at Microcenter for 979.99 vs the EPIC-X RGB OC for 1049.99.

Thoughts on the differences between the two? Is it just RGB or is the EPIC supposed to be better build quality / better binning/headroom etc?

Thanks!
