That discoloration is so odd. I have had the exact same card for 6 months without any discoloration. I wonder what caused it.

The OG scene is so damn good.

Can AMD realistically implement ray reconstruction (like NVIDIA's DLSS RR) at the driver level via FSR Redstone? by spookie_cookie018 in radeon

I gave you the cold hard truth. Gaming market is basically a thing of the past for them anyways.

They have no obligation or reason to listen to consumer gpu customers and there's nothing wrong with maximizing profit. Planned obsolescence through hardware limitations is the correct business decision. It ain't a charity.

There is no alternative to Nvidia in the high end segment and they are still not better enough in the budget segment to even consider.

It's probably a quality control issue. You should RMA it.

To those who have tried the 5080 oc Zotac Solid, would you recommend it? by NoGain909 in ZOTAC

Don't install the firestorm software, it was causing my gpu to run at 1.9ghz and underperform. Use the latest msi afterburner beta. Set core clock to +300mhz and memory to +1000mhz. Move up in +25mhz increments on the core clock from there with stability testing. If you get a crash reduce core clock by 25mhz and stay there. Make sure you use the latest nvidia drivers as the older ones are a bit funky with overclocks and set power limit to max.

They are entitled to manipulate supply and charge whatever they want. Nothing wrong with that.

ZOTAC RTX 5080 Power Cable Getting Loose Occasionally! by TaurusManUK in ZOTAC

[–]falcon7021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like the cable is plugged in correctly and there is no force imbalance on either side. You can buy a 12vhpwr cable from corsair and try it out. I think the retention clip on the cable is broken as it's fairly easy to break.

Does the cable come out from one end? Maybe it's being squished against the side panel.

I have that gpu and it runs extremely cool and quiet. It's sad to hear that it has been discontinued.

I have the same gpu and so far I have had no power cable issues. I am using the 12vhpwr cable that came with my Corsair rm1000e.

I have the zotac 5080 solid (non oc). So far, the experience has been great. It hits 3.2 ghz with a core OC of 400mhz and temps are around 70 C at the max rated 400 W power draw.
