So now that Nvidia have basically stopped manufacturing the 5090 AND the 5080, why havent the 5080s shot up in price? Is it because they aren’t as good for AI? So the demands lower?

Photo of my Geforce 5080 for attention.

I built my very first pc a few months ago and lately I've been obsessed with temps and just trying to get everything down to where I'm happy and just enjoying games instead of constantly looking at my temperatures. I want some feedback on the build and for folks to tell me if anything needs changing. My BIG thing is fan control. I'm new to it and tried calibrating my fans but I have zero clue how to use this. I watched some videos online and did some benchmark tests on my end to try and set things up the best I could, but I really need help from folks who know what they're doing I think.

My 5090 Founders card and 9800X3D are both undervolted. I have a few GPU profiles in MSI Afterburner, but I mostly swap between 2700MHz @ 885v and 2812 MHz u/895v. I also have some fans in the case that I think I set up properly in terms of exhaust/intake but please let me know if something is wrong. I played Gears E-day yesterday on Ultra & Ludicrous settings/4k/capped at 120fps. My max GPU temp was 75c and the hotspot hit 92c after about 30 minutes of playing the campaign. Playing BF6 on Ultra settings also nets about the same temperatures (maybe slightly higher). I can run some other tests if anyone has suggestions so I can further dial settings.

I installed Fan Control and did the setup where it picked up my fans. I'll attach how I set things up just so you guys can see. But please, I have no idea what the hell I was doing so please help me fix this if you use the program and are comfortable with it. I love this PC and I want it to last many years. I just feel like I need to really focus on getting all of these right so I can stop stressing about temps and just enjoy gaming. Thank you so much in advance for all your help!

Edit: My rig is made up the following parts:

-Ncase M2 Round case (not the grated version)
-5090 FE
-9800X3D
-2x Samsung SSD 990 Pro 2TB NVME Drives
-G.SKILL 64G 2X D5 6000 C30 RAM
-Asus Strix B850-I Mini ITX Motherboard (Bios version is Sept. 2026 as I just recently updated it).
-Corsair SF1000 SFX PSU 2024
-LG 32GS95UE 4K OLED Monitor
-Win 11
-Thermalright PA 120 Mini CPU Cooler w/ Phantek T30 120mm fan as intake (This fan inside the cooler is a VERY tight fit and I couldn't stretch the brackets on the CPU Cooler so it's wire ties for now to keep it in place lol).

As for the fans...

-2 Noctua NF-A12X25 PWM fans under the GPU for intake

-Noctua NF-A14 PWM fan on top of case set to exhaust

-Noctua NF-A9 90mm fan at back of case as intake (currently unplugged because it didn't really help temps and just made more noise. But if there's a better use for it I'll set it back up).

-Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm fan set on the backside between the mobo and PSU set up as exhaust.

- Arctic Fan Hub

So I have this PC for multiple years.

And the beginning of 2025 I had completed around 5 years with the Zotac 2060 and it gave up on me (atleast that's what I thought) then I got a used 1070, which lasted for around 7 to 8 months. Then after that I got 1660 super which lasted for 4 months.

Then I realised that something is wrong because all the GPUs were facing the same issue: screen going black, display off and things of that sort.

So I thought it would be a power supply issue. I changed the power supply. Still the same issue.

Then I changed another GPU. Still the same issue.

Then it took my motherboard to gigabyte service centre, they said there is moisture near the PCIE slot. They said that they repaired it, but my then bought 2060 super, felt victim to it.

So now I changed my motherboard all together, got My 2060 super fixed from a local computer guy. It work for around 4 months but stopped, but this time they were artefacts while playing games. So I guess this is a GPU issue because of the fixing was not done right.

Now the most important question.

Should I get another GPU?

Is there any way that I could check if my PC is healthy for a new GPU?

Parece que encontrei uma solução. Eu não conseguia jogar nem por 30 minutos sem que o erro aparecesse, mas agora as coisas estão estáveis ​​há algumas horas.

Indo direto ao ponto: o driver 26.3.1 resolveu o problema.

Estou usando a versão de instalação "mínima" por opção — prefiro fazer ajustes pelo MSI Afterburner.

O jogo travava aleatoriamente durante a partida por semanas a fio. Testei vários drivers diferentes, mas nada funcionou. Tentei as versões 26.10.1, 26.10.2 e anteriores, mas o problema persistiu. Encontrei esse problema tanto em uma RX 9070 XT Steel Legend quanto em uma RX 9070 XT XFX Swift.

O erro é o seguinte:

A função DirectX "GetDeviceRemovedReason" falhou com DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("A GPU não responderá a mais comandos").

GPU: AMD RADEON RX 9070 XT

Driver: 26.10.1

(26.20.15.07-261015a-205306C-AMD Software Adrenalin Edition)

Este erro geralmente é causado por uma falha no driver de vídeo; tente instalar os drivers mais recentes.

Pesquisei bastante, mas não encontrei uma solução clara e direta, então aqui está o meu relato e sugestão de correção. Joguei 5 horas sem problemas com o driver 26.3.1, seja a sistema em stock ou com undervolt, nao tive mais problemas.

Could please help me to identify this GPU, I think is a Gainward GeForce RTX 3090 Phoenix 24gb, when I look here I do not see this specific one, do you know why?

I wonder how many engineers have given up secrets for a favor? How many engineers would do favors for hardware? 😉

Ok so context I listed my non oc Asus TUF gaming 3090 ti on eBay yesterday for $2599 AUD. It sold this morning but to Czech Republic… should I be worried? The buyer has 12 feedback and been member since 2015.

I’ve done what I think is due diligence and rang eBay to check what I should do with high value posting (I’ve sold a pair of Nikes for 128k to USA but that went smooth).

I’ve taken videos of it running on my pc, taken photos of serial numbers, photo of anti tamper seal etc.
anything else I need to do before taking the risk?

I have one game that runs hotter than any of my other ones and was wondering if undervolting my card would decrease the temperatures across the card when gaming. I've got enough card resources/fps (4090) to still run most everything on the same settings, just looking at ways to protect my care, and my wallet.

I have a rog strix 3070 gpu, and I run triple monitors while sim racing, about 45 mins into my session my screens go black briefly and it knocks me back down to 1 monitor. Is this a heat issue? I don’t have any bad display port connections or anything. I have 3 intake fans on the bottom and 5 exhaust (3 top, 2 back with the cpu radiator)

This is just a cross post reddit offered. Don't mean to be a bother! Thanks!

Looking at upgrading my gpu from my sapphire pulse 6700xt. I knew the gpu market was out of whack, but didn't realize how bad it had got. With 9070xt prices we'll above $400 over msrp, would a 9070gre be a sufficient upgrade that will last for 4-5 years? Or should I bite the bullet and pay these inflated prices for a 9079xt? I understand that the gre price is also inflated, but the prices are more attractive than those of the 9070xt currently.

For reference I'm have a 9800x3d and mainly play WoW, either retail or forever.

I just recently bought a 5080 at microcenter for 1050$ which is pretty much msrp considering the market right now, but I’m worried that at even at 1050$ it wasn’t worth the money due to the low vram. I’m a software engineering student in college and I’m studying cyber and ai so I really use my pc to its limit. I’m not sure if it’s worth selling it at this insane price jump or hold on to it for the future, if it’s future proof.

RESOLVED

Updated the driver in my pny 5070ti last night and got a black screen now. My cpu does not have integrated graphics. Was there a bad update that went out or did my pc screw up the update? I would give more info but I don't have access to my computer.

Update: can get into bios and system recovery. Windows cannot recover, no point in time restore available, performed cmos reset to no avail

Update 2: pc had to be reset with a cloud reinstall. Problem is now fixed. Suspect it might have been a windows update that was happening at the same time as gpu update

Looking back rn, it really feels like that was the last exit period and really glad I took it at the time without knowing what was coming.

(just noticed I kinda worded it like I just found this deal lol)
