Apparently the AI market is slowing down and more nvidia chips are going to be directed to consumer cards? Might mean prices are reasonable-ish eventually?

And if the 5090 market can't move that many, then pushing more of those chips into 5080 (disabling stuff) may even happen.
Finally, some good news about Nvidia’s new GPUs: RTX 5090 stock levels rumored to surge in a month or so
Scalpers will be left high and dry if this stock forecast pans out

The power connector really is bad, at least with the way they have it hooked up to the card. I had mine melt with my 4090. May have been because I was using one of the janky CableMod 180 degree adapters. May have been because one of the pins on the cable going into the adapter was loose and was making poor or no contact (I have an HTPC case and the card was installed in a tight position where I could not really see the cable, so I am not sure whether the pin had backed out when in use, or if it didn't come loose until it was removed). Could have been both. Either way, it melted.
I haven't had a problem since then, but still do not trust the cable. Frankly it is a major reason why I would be wary about getting a 5090. It's not just "user error" like they tried to claim. The connector can be making bad contact despite seemingly being plugged in, or the cable can be faulty (i.e. pin loose like in my case, worn cable, etc.), and there's no way to tell until the connector has melted down and you start getting black screens.
It's absolutely ridiculous they don't at least load balance 3 sets of pins. There's so much power going through the connector that if it becomes imbalanced at all you risk having a meltdown.

I hope it happens, but I'm afraid the scalpers will still only be crying all the way to the bank. They'll already have made money off the launch even if supply does come back to normal. I do wonder how much sustained demand there is for a $2000+ GPU. Especially because besides the rare FE drops most of the cards are actually going for $2500+.
If we are lucky... we may get something that can wrap it. ZLUDA has shown the ability before... but they have never released it because they where worried about legal issues. But if nVidia is no longer going to support it... maybe now is the time.
aaaaand some written reviews

Galax GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC White Review
The Galax GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 1-Click OC White is a custom design model of NVIDIA's newest release that still sells for the baseline MSRP of $750. Besides the white color theme you get a small factory overclock and an excellent cooler that emits very little noise, even under full load.
MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X OC Review - Beating RX 7900 XTX
NVIDIA has launched the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti today, lifting the review embargo. The MSI RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X comes at NVIDIA MSRP of $750, yet includes a small factory overclock. In terms of performance, the Ventus is able to compete with RTX 4080 Super and RX 7900 XTX.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Spotted with Missing ROPs, Performance Loss Confirmed, Multiple Vendors Affected
TechPowerUp has discovered that there are NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards in retail circulation that come with too few render units, which lowers performance. Zotac's GeForce RTX 5090 Solid comes with fewer ROPs than it should—168 are enabled, instead of the 176 that are part of the RTX...
Looks like some people got a 5089 instead of a 5090.

Squid adapter never fails! I am kinda glad I never got a newer power supply.....

So little QA were done on these chips? First the 5090 now the 5070ti... What impresses me is that the driver runs no matter how many hardware elements are functioning on the chip. Its just a perf loss... I can imagine they will check for more than just Shader units or ROP's at some point and see what RT and AI units or cache or other are enabled... I can imagine how they will sell them eventually... it'll all be 5070ti with 'up to' X number of AI RT and Shader units ect...

From all of the screw ups, it definitely feels a lot like Nvidia doesn't care that much about the gaming GPU market anymore. Given the rocky launch and the relatively small performance uplift, AMD seems to have chosen a really bad time to not make a high end competitor.
Ouch! Rough launch overall for nVidia on this one. Hopefully it will even out as it goes along here.

I've been happy with my 5080. I used to be kinda meh on framegen, but after having played cyberpunk path traced it kinda changed my mind. Also, I can finally play helldivers 2 illuminate maps without really bad frame drops, as the smooth motion thing (which for some reason is only a 50xx feature right now) really improved the experience 10 fold.
Yeah, FG is kind of worth it when you can experience graphics from the future in games like CP2077, AW 2, and Indy.
I would not use it in games where responsive controls really matter though, as it kind of feels like you're playing with vsync on at 60hz no matter how smooth the graphics on your screen is.
