Looked around and can't seem to find any pictures or videos of the card aside from the main stock pictures. wondering if it really looks like mostly silver or if that's just something about the stock photos making it look that way

I use a LG OLED as my desktop monitor and an Epson LS12000 as my projector. Both don’t have display port.

Is it only ASUS that offers two HDMI ports?

When looking up the specs of the Astral 5090 OC and the Astral LC 5090 OC on techpowerup, the LC version is only listed at 2407MHz core boost clock vs 2580MHz on the non LC version.

I have little experience with AIO based GPU's, is there a reason the LC version is listed at stock boost clock instead of matching boost clock speed with the non LC version?
Could it simply be that techpowerup haven't updated it correctly?

Here's the links to the specific cards I am talking about:
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-rog-astral-lc-rtx-5090-oc-edition.b11996
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-rog-astral-rtx-5090-oc-edition.b11952

I also read that AIO based GPU's are known to be "worse" binned than aircooled cards, I'm not sure how much truth there is to this?

I managed to purchase the Astral 5090 OC on release day, but the site was overloaded so they sold more cards than they had in stock, leaving most of us having to wait for the next batch (currently I'm 34 in the queue).
If they get the LC version of the card in stock before the non LC I may just get that instead, but I'm very much interested in finding out the actual specs of the LC card before I make that decision.

Hello, after some tests, I noticed that I have a CPU bottleneck in some scenarios, but my GPU is also holding me back. I'm running an RX 6800 with a 5800X at 1440p.

• Cyberpunk 2077: Avg 85 FPS on Hardware Unboxed "Quality" settings, but dips to the low 50s in crowded areas. CPU hits 97%, while GPU hovers around 70-85%.
• GTA V: High average FPS, but CRAZY stuttering between 50 and 180 FPS, making the game feel awful.
• Valorant (CPU-bound): Playing at 1280x1024, FPS jumps from 200 to 400, making it unstable and unpleasant (I'm in high elo).
• Minecraft (CPU-bound): I'm a hardcore minecraft gamer, and as you know, this game can be demanding on the CPU, especially with modpacks and large builds.

I don't have many other games installed yet, but it seems like I'm CPU bottlenecked in most cases. That said, the Cyberpunk issue confuses me a bit.

Would you recommend upgrading my platform to AM5 and getting a GPU+PSU later, or upgrading the GPU+PSU first and switching to AM5 afterward?

Here are some prices in my country (France):

• R7 9800X3D: €580
• R7 7800X3D: Roughly the same price (€570–580)
• RTX 5080: €1200–€1700 (out of stock)
• Power supplies (850W–1000W): Between €120 and €220, but none are in stock

I know the 5700X3D is an option, but after doing some research, I’m not interested in staying on AM4. I'd rather move to AM5 for better 1% lows in competitive games.

Going to upgrade from 1440p to 4k soon but since this my first time gaming at this resolution. Want to know how to use dlss and frame gen effectively to get the most stable performance

Games I play Yakuza infinite wealth Yakuza hawaii Ready or not Black ops 6 Warhammer space marine 2 Cyberpunk 2077 Fortnite

Monitor: PG32UCDP since i have the 1080p mode for my shooters. Haven't bought it yet but leaning towards that right now

Will I use RT: maybe but I never used it even with 1440p

Have I used dlss: yes and it's been a great tool for me in video games.

Do I know what frame gen is: sort of but not fully understand the settings like CNN or transformer

Looking for any help if able to understand 4k gaming.

Thanks

I see a lot of people saying you can finally do 4K with the 5000 series and etc and making it sound like you can only do 1080 or 1440 on the 3000 series cards. Did I miss something? I’ve been doing exclusively 4K on my 3080 since I got it at launch and have had 0 issue getting above 60fps (except for cyberpunk lol). I’m genuinely curious why people make it sound like the 3000 series is absolute trash? I get the VRAM isn’t really there but you absolutely can get an amazing 4K experience with it. Sure you may have puddles be less like mirrors and maybe a handful less leaves but it’s still pretty great.

Maybe people are just trying to go for ultra on all settings and not toggling some stuff here and there?

I’m on 4k ultra, the only thing is to select texture pool to medium and hair to the middle one it will allow to be leave the memory to sub 16gb and i can’t really see much of a difference

i’m around 70fps with this setting with dlss quality

can’t wait for the feb update with dlss4 to 2x it

Is Newegg allowed to increase the price for the 5090 like this ?

I tried the new override settings with a 3070 card, but what does this dlaa/ultra performance setting do? is it not meant to be used if the game already has DLSS settings??

I’ve heard people say that the new dlss on performance looks like dlss4 on quality how true is this or what is the actual comparison?

I'm wanting to upgrade my computer a little, I feel like I could get more performance out of what I have but idk. Thinking about upgrading my 3080, not sure to what maybe a 4090 but I wanna see what else should be upgraded.

CPU: i7-12700K

Motherboard: PRO Z690-A DDR4

GPU: GeForce 3080

RAM: 16gb

I'm not sure what else to tweak. For example I'd want to get a aio for the cpu but not sure which one to get, just stuff like that.

Hello,

I am the dummy.

I don't understand how DLSS 4 works. I have a 4080 S. I have updated my drivers but have a few questions.

How do I know if DLSS4 is activating for my games?

How do I check what games are supported?

Is there a way to force DLSS 4 for unsupported games?

Is there an in game toggle or do I do it through the nvidia app?

I saw that Performance looks much better now. I used quality before, is Performance the new go to??

Thank you for any help.

Hey everyone, I have a request for all you fellow overclockers out there.

If you have found a somewhat stable OC for your 5090, please post your OC settings, along with your results and system specs, and for how long you have tested it.
If you also post which games you have tested your OC settings in that would be great.

This is of course opinion based, but I'd like to say that properly testing OC settings for stability, takes about a week of thorough testing for at least a few 6 hour sessions in each title to find a stable overclock (at least thats when I consider my OC settings to be stable).

I've purchased a ROG Astral 5090 OC and will post my results too when it arrives after some testing (I'm currently #34 in line where I purchased it from.)

Seeing as the 5090 has a whopping TDP of 575w, I expect the overclocking potential to be somewhat powerlimited with only 25w headroom if you set power limit to 104% if you overclock the traditional way with MSI Afterburner or other software.

Hello i found a wonderfull monitor MSI MPG 271QRXDE QD-OLED and its redused on my shop but it dosent have Gsync i wonder how the diffrenc between gsync and adaptive sync is and if it is wothy to swap to adaptive sync

I have a 5080 palit preorder . No 3 in the queue.

This morning the estimate was 28th feb and now it’s end of April

Anyone else had a date push out?

Hi guys,

https://preview.redd.it/p13eyzdumzge1.png?width=890&format=png&auto=webp&s=b0663ea3d52b2838a7d9ea6265db1748fb73f351

Here’s the issue: when switching to OC Mode, the power target automatically increases to 110%. However, in User Mode, I can't go beyond 100%, even though I've already enabled the Enhanced Overclocking Range in the settings. The power target seems to be the only option that doesn’t allow me to exceed 100%.

Right now, my Time Spy score is 37456

Hi all,

Just installed my new 5080 FE. Running the following:

7600x 64gb of ram 27’ 1440p monitor - (msi mpg 321urx in the mail) 5080 Bios: 98.03.3b.00.01

I started with furmark and heaven to get a base. Started the clock at 500 but after playing Apex Legends, CoD and a little of Fortnite, I’m stable at +460 so far. I’m going to play some more to ensure stability and move on to memory clock.

https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/gigabyte+geforce+rtx+5080+windforce+oc+sff+16g+876603 was 1269 now 1669 for entry level model lol it's insane

https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/gigabyte+geforce+rtx+5080+gaming+oc+16g+876606 was 1349 now 1799

prices changed earlier today, many more cards with the same changes.

these are direct links i saved the other day to check from time to time before they nuked them from search results, all out of stock obviously.

what a low level they reached. their name literally says CHEAPER

just posting in case someone desperate finds them in stock and decides to jump on one. do not buy. check alrernate.de instead they still have the lower prices.. for now

• compilation of 18 launch reviews with ~8520 gaming benchmarks at 1080p, 1440p, 2160p
• only benchmarks at real games compiled, not included any 3DMark & Unigine benchmarks
• geometric mean in all cases
• standard raster performance without ray-tracing and/or DLSS/FSR/XeSS
• extra ray-tracing benchmarks (mostly without upscaler) after the standard raster benchmarks
• stock performance on (usually) reference/FE boards, no overclocking
• factory overclocked cards were normalized to reference clocks/performance, but just for the overall performance average (so the listings show the original performance result, just the performance index has been normalized)
• missing results were interpolated (for a more accurate average) based on the available & former results
• performance average is (some) weighted in favor of reviews with more benchmarks
• all reviews should have used newer drivers for all cards
• power draw numbers based on a couple of reviews, always for the graphics card only
• performance/price ratio (higher is better) for 2160p raster performance and 2160p ray-tracing performance
• for the full results and some more explanations check 3DCenter's launch analysis

Note: RA = Raster, RT = Ray-Tracing, EE = Energy Efficiency, P/P = Performance/Price Ratio
Note: For the graphics cards that have already been discontinued, a retail price was assumed at the time of their sale. The same applies to the 7900XT, 7900XTX and 4080S, which are currently on the retreat from the market. Retail prices were estimated for 5080 & 5090 when availability is reached. These estimates are of course not perfect, as nobody knows how the price situation will develop.

Note: Performance improvement of the GeForce RTX 5080 compared to the other cards. The respective other card is then 100%.

I am planning to upgrade to the RTX3090, these are my options. Which one is the better one in terms of cooling, performance and build quality?

Right now we can force any DLSS game (even those with prehistoric DLSS versions) to use the newest transformer model and up to 4x frame generation. While the transformer model is increadible and it has very few flaws, some of these flaws start popping out when ray reconstruction is not enabled (most notably in cyberpunk, it looks almost as if the transformer model has always been trained with ray reconstruction enabled, because it creates new unique artefacting without it that not only gets magically fixed once the ray reconstruction is enabled, it actually looks way better, better than native. So is there some way to forcefuly enable itin every game?
