Probably Bound to Happen: Increased Power Draw for DLSS 5 Reportedly Claims Its First Victim After a User Finds an RTX 5090 with a Melted Power Ada...

NBA 2K27 launched last week, officially bringing NVIDIA’s neural rendering technology to the masses in the form of DLSS 5, but the new feature could cost more than performance hits. DLSS 5 has already been criticized for how it can drastically change images. In some instances, these alterations can be considered improvements, while in others, […]

I mean I am not surprised the writing was on fhe walls. Nvidia needs to create drivers with real limits on power consumption that a user can override instead of the limit being the override.

This effin plug is so dumb. Ok fine less wires, make em a good gauge, a fat connector.
Whats the issue with that?
Whats the mental cancer taking over engineers. Just what is it really?

I think, it was a drive toward rushing the standard, to be able to deliver what NVIDIA wanted at the time. It was pushed out too fast to fit a demand, and wasn't ready. Perhaps wasn't even the only design on the table, but just the first one they went with, given a time constraint.

Just my opinion and speculation, of course.
 
It's like it was designed to fail. If they simply rewrote the specifications for PCIEX connector to handle the same power I think we'd see zero issues. All because nvidia wanted a sleek connector on their FE card. At the least they should not have mandated partners to use this crap.

Thats the thing though, theres nothing to be ready, its all already done, plenty of fat good connectors to choose from or derive from.
All the really difficult stuff is well made, the traces, the mosfets of whatever idk, i know this is not an incandecent lightbulb, it is a GPU getting precise power, precisely distributed... And yet, the easiest part, get a fat connector and over spec wires... No, we need to do a dainty little connector, with some little wires ( i mean the wires are ok I guess given proper distribution, but they could be just 2 of good gauge)... Because? Mental rot? What is the point of acting like these nvidia monstrosities dont chug power, they do, act accordingly. Absurd.
 
crazy stuff. & we have to live with this until the super or 60 series releases !!!
 
That idiot Moppel Mat knows the Wireview was created because of the problem right? If the 12VHPWR connector wasn't an issue there would be little to no use for the Wireview hardware.
