.....trouble with driver or the RTX 5060 hardware, or both? Or something is rotten at nvidia? Or nvidia doesnt care about this card or how long it takes to be reviewed.....or they dont care about reviews anymore.

Introduction GIGABYTE’s AORUS MASTER video card series is a top-end, enthusiast video card series, and we have that model to review today with the GeForce RTX 5080 GPU; this is the cream of the crop, as it were, from GIGABYTE’s lineup. We’ll be reviewing the GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 5080...

Well, Im skeptical....we have HL2 RTX, and Borealis in development already. I hope this article is correct....but we've heard all this before.

Interesting how the cheaper Gigabyte 5060 Ti will give you very similar performance at a much lower price, just for comparison sake. This ASUS card is nice and all but the price is steep.

Hahahaha......Limited edition.....the entire 50 series is a limited edition. Who needs pictures of flames on their 5080? Just plug in the 12V 2x6 a d start playing a game, youll get real flames!!!

The one thing I noticed, the guy looks to be using a gen1 HPWR connector. Even Corsair says with this new gpu generation, you should make sure you have gen2 connectors. They (Corsair) sell both native and 8pin gen2 connectors for their psus for 20 dollars.

Oh my goodness....So far my 4090 is ok for what I need, I may just sit this one out. I hate those 12V-2x6 connectors. Bad idea and just not consistant quality. For over 2K I would hope for better.

I remember flashing the HD6700 to a HD6900. seemed it allowed an increase in VCore and boosted the clocks a little. Never liked to do it for fear of bricking the card and at that point in time it was a little bit complicated. I think I did one card and called it a day. Given the cost and...

We have the brand-new MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK WiFi for review and evaluation with a current MSI store pricing of $319.99. We very recently reviewed the MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WiFi. You will find as...

AMD has outright said the future is AI, something Nvidia is way in front of. Gaming GPUs are going to be few and far between soon. Neither company honestly give a rat's behind......it's almost a halo product category. Console chips, I bet there is still a pretty good chunk of AMDs income...

I dont think thats a fair assumption. You cant base your purchase on rumors. I dont care if the two cards cost the same. The new AMD cards are very good and the nvidia cards at the low end arent. About all nvidia has is the improvement in DLSS and everybody has big hate for that, instead of...

I agree. Now that the 9070XT is out, the choice is obvious, especially if you dont care about ray tracing. But....thats the deal and it is the pinnacle of graphics in the right games. What we dont talk much about though is turning on DLSS4 and jacking up FrameGen to 4x. That is the game...
