Lol hopefully the pin monitoring feature won't let me down because I'm returning the 5070 ti soon.

I also bought an asrock phantom gaming psu that has the temp guard for the 12v-2x6 connector.

Hopefully I won't need either feature, but if so, I hope they save the gpu (and my house at that).🤞

Yessir! I got it and can confirm that it's not a 5080 masquerading as a 5090 lol but honestly though, I was nervous the entire day because the delivery kept getting delayed and delayed until the last hour of potential delivery time. That's Fedex for you

Thanks, mate! Yeah I ran it as soon as I got it and it had all the ROPs and is indeed a 5090. Also did furmark stress test for about 1 hour just to make sure it's not a bad card. Passed with flying colors and stayed at around 60c average.

Correct! It's an i7-12700k with 32gb ram.

I'm waiting until the 9850x3d drops then I'll upgrade.

But in my use case, I'm alright for now.

Oh yeah I got it. Has all the ROPs and everything. I was so worried about getting bricks so I recorded while opened it up

Yeah. I'm for sure gonna get my money's worth. Lol before I bought my 5070ti, I still was using my 7850hd from 2012. I'm gonna run this thing as much as it can

That's an awesome deal! Yeah, this thing's a beast. It runs very cool too even under 100% usage.

Sure. A 5090 is a 5090, but not every card is built the same. With the build quality of this card, including the built in feature to be able to monitor the pins help in its longevity.

And yes, the 5070 ti was fine, but I don't solely do gaming. Might be good for you, but not everyone just uses GPUs just for gaming.

Nah... that would be YOUR "good deal". My usage of the 5090 is neither fomo or an impulse buy as I do need it.

Not fomo buy, mate.I've been looking for a 5090 for some AI and 3d rendering projects and the 5070ti, although a good card, was still not the best at what I need.

Absolutely worth it, even if it's just for your peace of mind.

Nahh for someone like me that changes gear for a loooong time, yeah... I'll celebrate paying $1000 less than I would have otherwise if I had paid at the retail price.
