BUILDING A BEAST! (what do I match with the 5090?!)

[Billbo]

First of all I'm stuck in the debate of whether ill go for the ASUS Astral OC or the Astral OC LC.
(that being said I'm no PC building whizz or anything so if you guys have any serious recommendations as to any 5090's that are looking more promising than those then please let me know.)

My goal is basically just build the biggest beast possible that will be unstoppable in gaming no matter how many graphics mods and extras i put into my games.
I don't have a max budget and will gladly run it up to $10k no questions asked

So far all I really have in mind is the astral OC with the 1600w ASUS Thor PSU, however everything else I'm open to suggestions for, that includes fans, memory, cpu, cases,and motherboards.

Cheers gents :)

The 5090 turned out to be such a buzzkill for beast builders. Wait for 6090 or at least a refresh that fixes all the issues which I doubt would happen.

Not ist, sure availability is low, but it's a good step up in raw power before you get yo overclocking which seems to clock 10% higher.

I'm not talking about performance. I'm talking taking about the issues that are plaquing the 5000 series. It has missing ROPs issue, no physx support (yes many still play older games), power phase failure (ROG Astral), melting cables and connectors, black screens, etc. No one in their right mind would buy a 5000 series card right now.

Yeah, you need a high-quality PSU that delivers precise and stable voltage to avoid power fluctuations. Get at least a Titanium 80+, ATX 3.1, Gen 5.1 unit. ATX 3.1 improves the power pin design, splitting the connection and enhancing its composition and depth to prevent heat buildup and failures, especially under high loads. This ensures clean power delivery to the GPU, reducing the risk of melting connectors. Meanwhile, Gen 5.1 ensures that next-gen graphics cards receive stable voltage without exceeding safe power draw limits, preventing spikes and surges that could damage components. Together, they prevent voltage drops, overheating, and instability, making your system more reliable and efficient.

Get the Asus Thor v3 psu, it does does load balancing, JayzTwoCents made a video about it.

The tops is 0.5% of cards where the wrong chips got sent out and are being replaced.

The cables seem to be the same issue as last time, only exasterbated by people having the accused 12vhpwr on both ends, so, user error, it's not really wide spread.

Not heard about black screens, but could be dozens of causes not related to the cards directly.

Faulty components happen, again, not really wide spread.

As for needing a titanium rated brand new psu?

Just go away with such absolute rubbish, any decent gold rated unit from the last 5 or 10 years is totally fine, titanium is largely a huge waste of money.

nVidia has acknowledged them.

"[GeForce RTX 50 series] Various black screen issues [5088957] [5100062] [5089089]"

Hopefully this means they are addressed though. Black screens can indeed have many causes (and can be a pain, as I experienced them and know), but this signifies the drivers were responsible for a few of those causes (or worse, the new hardware has some issue and a bandage level fix need applied in drivers).

People still defending Nvidia is just unbelievable. When you spend 3000 to 4000 on a video card you certainly wouldn't want to risk any of that happening. . 5% is still a chance, not to mention the lies coming from Nvidia regarding the prices. I'm not sure I trust them anymore.

Don't buy Nvidia if you want things to change for the better for us consumers. I'm saying this as someone who owns two 4090s.

And they will swap them out.

No ones for ING you to buy them and nvidia don't control the final price of the cards.

Plus, what else are you going to buy if you want high end?

4090 is gone and AMD and Intel have nothing to compete with it, let alone the 5090.

Its easy for those of us with 4090's to say ignore it, but new buyers, those on older ir lower cards have no better option and, it is a very good option, in 6 months once supplies and prices are back to msrp, it'll be a great option if you can afford it, not to mention the only one if you want the performance level.

People need to complain about AMD and Intel for nvidia prices, when they have no competition they get to set the price.
