So, who's getting a 5XXX series card?

So.... TLDR: Not even sure you can call s*** cables anymore (I mean, I suppose there are always scammers, but...), spec is 9.5a right? Known brands should sell AT LEAST that, which would be classed as "good enough, but not really, because it's toeing the line, get better". "Better" would be 12a-13a+, assuming the J2C thingie isn't an issue. But even then, the Nvidia plug is a problem, so get yourself one of those PMD2 that helps balance the load on all wires (which costs how much btw?)... Failing that, what, fire house insurance?
Lol, there's **** cables out there. That doesn't change much to me...maybe wording...
NV's poor design = root cause.
Use cables that come with your card.
Also, I'm emailing MODDIY to ask a specific question about the cable (whats the difference between 2024 and 2025 adapters like they said).
Edit: and all this over 3 cards, one truly a users fault. The other thousands of 5090s in the wild are, for now, doing fine.

Not to put salt on the wound but...
www.tomshardware.com
RTX 5080 power cable allegedly melts at PSU — Redditor reports another 50-series failure
RTX 5080 users beware, too.
Nvidia cables that come with the card are 9.5a aren't they...
That's the 3rd issue on 5000 series. Loki psu (again), and user error iirc. See reddit link from above thats tracking the issues.
EDIT: @Kenrou - 5080 is loki PSU, nothing about user error.
EDIT: This is what the website says... so it looks like there is something different in the cables... at least from MODDIY
@yoadknux - THESE cables are clearly different.

In the past I had luck getting GPU's in the Newegg shuffle. It's back but I didn't enter at these prices. These are for 4080's.

Yeah I would be in when it's a 5090.
Well I'm glad they changed something. Thicker wires is a mystery to me, if the spec says 16AWG, and you go to 18AWG... Do you "gain" something? I guess resistance is lower on larger diameters, but aren't the terminals the hottest points?That's the 3rd issue on 5000 series. Loki psu (again), and user error iirc.

Anyway, I would be happy to test it. Might order it later.

FYI, prices for the RTX 5070 Ti are listed on Microcenter. A PNY card is priced at $750 (sold out before launch, wtf?), the rest are starting at $899.

Asus made a gold RTX 5090, as if it weren't expensive enough already

You'd lose something moving to a smaller wire (16->18), no?

Yeah... If those are still the prices on the 20th I'm likely to jump over to AMD. $750 I can live with. A 20% bump just cuz? No thanks.FYI, prices for the RTX 5070 Ti are listed on Microcenter. A PNY card is priced at $750 (sold out before launch, wtf?), the rest are starting at $899.

I'm with you on that, but I'll make a decision only after the reviews are in for both.
I wish to use AMD, but if its efficiency is like that of the RX7000 series, then I won't use it for sure. I wish to see a better-performing Intel, as B580 is too slow for me. In the end, I bet I will keep what I have for gaming and hopefully switch graphics cards for tests.

Yeah. Larger numerical is smaller diameter. Another wonderful measurement invention of the US of A.
You definitely don't want to go that way.

There's a Asus 5090 listed on Amazon for 10k
