Graphics Nvidia 50series and AMD 9000 series Thread

Who's gona buy a 8gb card that's a waste.

 

Whoever only has at most 359 quid to spend on a GPU, if you factor conversion rates and VAT. That's a ridiculous amount of money for a 60 class GPU, especially one with only 8GB VRAM, but there isn't much choice going around for anyone that remotely cares about PC gaming.

 

I just 5090'd. See purchases thread

Stock at both Overclockers (Gainward) & CCL (Palit) today.

 

Intel: "Thank you nvidia for making ARC B580 look even better as the entry level card".

 

...but you still can't buy one.

 

In stock right now on OCUK for £250 and up or have I missed context?

 

Pfft, facts. Who needs them?

 

Now that you have it in your hands, make sure you choose the drivers you install carefully, chap!

 

I choose driver version 570.133.07

 

Have you checked to see if it's a full fat or diet one?

 

Not yet. Tomorrow is new PC build day (see purchases thread)

 

Them 5090 D must be the ones with the missing rops, are they allowed to sell them.

 

UPDATE - New build did not take place this weekend.
I realised I needed to shuffle a few things around in the room and that triggered... "Spring Cleaning"

 

I find that penetrating oil and scotchbrite works a treat when cleaning my springs.

 

Pali Gaming Pro 5080 up for less than a grand on OCUK, in stock now.

It's almost cute! How can this wee thing have a 180W TDP?

 

If the 5060 is similarly small, it looks like that PCB real estate could be rearranged to make a low profile variant.

 

There is a Gigabyte 5060 LP mentioned in the article and a link to the product page here.

It would be nice if there was a Ti version as well though.

 

As much as I like the idea of that, I think the power draw might kill it as a viable LP product.
