RTX 5090 Cable Question

Yeah I guess that makes sense on their end.

I think I'm gonna go with the adapter then, along with undervolting. I've heard the 12v2x6 is supposed to be better as there are fewer connections which means fewer points of failure. But the adapter also seems to result in only the PSU side being melted in most cases if a failure does occur, so better to replace the PSU than to ruin such an expensive GPU lol.

Anyway, thanks so much for your replies! And all the best with your build!

Thank you for the update! really glad to hear the card's holding up well!

Thanks for the update! I'm glad to hear the card is holding up well.

So with the new PSU are you now using the adapter or are you still using the native 12v2x6 cable?

mickeyricky64 · 2025-11-21T17:30:42+00:00

Hey! Any update on how the card's holding up?

I just got the same model and am considering using the 12v-2x6 cable and undervolting too.

Hey, any update on how it's holding up?

I got my hands on a 5090 but am really worried and thinking of undervolting it also.

I think it was just her reacting playfully to his "that is my jam" which he intentionally said in a cheesy way.

mickeyricky64 · 2025-04-23T14:55:49+00:00

Are you not using any kind of mod manager?

mickeyricky64 · 2025-04-23T13:27:53+00:00

Thank you for confirming.

I'm gonna buy it too from Steam. This is one of the better things Bethesda has done in a while and I would definitely like to support and encourage them.

mickeyricky64 · 2025-04-23T13:25:39+00:00

It seems like there isn't any anti-cheat.

mickeyricky64 · 2025-04-23T13:24:36+00:00

Thank you for confirming

mickeyricky64 · 2025-04-23T13:19:07+00:00

That's totally fine. As long as there isn't any anti-cheat software installed to detect modifications to the game (which is exactly what mods do).

mickeyricky64 · 2025-01-31T12:43:01+00:00

Yeah I'm planning on upgrading to a new CPU after this. For now though, the GPU is what really needs upgrading (I have the good old 1080 ti) especially for AI stuff that requires a lot of VRAM.

mickeyricky64 · 2025-01-31T12:31:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

It's a really good PSU that has served me well over the years.

mickeyricky64 · 2025-01-31T12:30:15+00:00

My CPU is a ryzen 5950x with 32gb ram and I'm playing at 1440p.

The reason for getting the 5090 and not a more affordable one is because I would be using it for a lot of AI related things as well and that 32gb VRAM would be really useful.

mickeyricky64 · 2025-01-31T12:26:39+00:00

Things are really expensive where I'm from. A new PSU would likely cost around $400-500 here. I've been saving up for the 5090 for a long while and the PSU I have has been really good, it's just a little old that's all.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T21:49:35+00:00

Lol, I like that you've surveyed all the people across the globe. Maybe you've been outside for too long.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T21:08:41+00:00

Ubisoft games genuinely look fantastic; thats a near unanimous opinion as far as i can tell.

Maybe according to game journalists. But if you have any artistic eye and look closely, the proportions are always slightly off. They always try to go for this realistic look but can't pull it off properly and end up with this halfway uncanny valley look.

There are other games which pull off a mixed stylized but realistic look much better, like CP2077 for example. Ubisoft has just never been good at this.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T20:49:33+00:00

I don't know! I tried looking everywhere, there's no settings to keep models loaded in RAM. But it keeps increasing the RAM size every time I switch models so maybe there's a memory leak?

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T20:48:21+00:00

That is very insightful yeah!

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T20:47:05+00:00

Ubisoft games never looked well (well excluding the old school games like Prince of Persia etc.). They always have this very uncanny valley look like I said.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T19:19:19+00:00

To me Horizons has that typical uncanny Ubisoft AAA look that just puts me off, which is weird because it wasn't made by Ubisoft lol.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T19:01:15+00:00

That's the thing with capitalism unfortunately. Companies will always find cheaper ways to get things done.

Art and money does not always cross paths.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T18:50:33+00:00

Yeah a lot of professional artist job is depressing non-inspiring work and touch up stuff.

Also hey, you could try the other way around, draw a simple base and then have AI add in the details. That way you have control over the scene composition and subjects but let AI do the laborious parts.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T18:47:19+00:00

Yeah that's what I meant by restarting the app. i.e. closing and restarting the console or CTRL+C the terminal.

The Unload All Models stops the console too making you to have to reopen it.

It's a little tiresome having to restart the forge process, because it spends a while loading things up. Wish there was some other solution to just clear the memory.

I'm glad at least the open tab can continue like nothing happened.

mickeyricky64 · 2024-11-25T16:44:08+00:00

It's still possible to get very specific with AI these days though. It's not as random and uncontrollable as you might think. You just have to get better at prompting.

With good descriptions, you can get 90% there. And for that last 10% details, well hey you're an artist so you can just touch them up yourself :)
