I'm really curious about the performance, especially with RT. At first they said no high end models this time but it still comes with 3 connectors which is weird because that would indicate a 350W card at the very least. Especially since it's rumoured to have 60-64 CUs and 16 gigs of VRAM.
@@valentinvas6454 It's 2 connections by default, it basically means that it will have base power draw at high 200s with OC models at mid 300s. There is no issue with pushing 350 through 2x8Pin but if GPU goes over 300 manufacturers add third one in most cases.
Doesn’t matter what you’d use, the word is being used relatively. A Camry LE is more affordable than a Camry TRD by $8,000, yet it’s still $25,000 itself. That’s still unaffordable to many people, but the words use still stands correct.
@@HenryThe12 Interesting you'd choose to use a Camry. Any 5090 is more like a Supra, or even a Lexus LFA. It's a premium card, even at it's base.

@@Osprey850 To me it seems that the AIBs are struggling to provide additional value these days. In the past reference cooling solutions used to be horrible and there was significant factory overclocking potential, but since the last generation at the latest both aspects are no longer true. Therefore I assume that NVIDIA's cooler probably is more than good enough considering that air can be pushed through the fin stack without obstructions for the most part due to the tiny PCB while the AIB solutions will turn out to be unnecessarily oversized.
@@Raider_MXD I mean, I dunno. 575 W and still smaller than a 450 W 4090 FE? I wouldn't be surprised the 5090 FE is fairly loud compared to most partner boards.
@@exscape I doubt that. In previous generations air flow though the cooling fins was obstructed by the PCB behind them. This time the PCB is tiny and air can flow through the cooler freely for the most part which should massively increase efficiency, i.e. significantly smaller coolers should be sufficient.
This reminded me to that Spongebob episode when Patrick was at the Jellyfish Convention and he had to touch everything but a guard was following him saying "don't touch" 🤣
Because Nvidia sucks. I listed the Bare minimum for specs for Blackwell below. I doubt the 5070 will beat the 4070 super because it’s clocked significantly lower and has 8 less SMs (1024 cuda cores) 5070 56 SM 7,168 cuda cores 256-bit, 16GB GDDR7 $549 5070 Ti 80 SM 10,240 cuda cores 256-bit, 16GB GDDR7 $749 5080 96 SM 12,288 cuda cores 320-bit, 20GB GDDR7 $999 5090 170 SM 21,760 cuda cores 512-bit, 32GB GDDR7 $1749 If they actually configured the GPUs this way, I would probably buy one even though the SM counts are still too low. The 5070 really ought to have 60 or 64 SMs, 5070 Ti 84 or 88 SMs, 5080 104 SMs but you know NGreedia!!!
THIS RIGHT HERE is the type of content that really makes an impact! Everyone and there mother can make a video and just talk about the official specs, but this here is truly unique. That's why I subbed.
I feel like we need more info on how the GPUs feel in the hand, their texture, fingerprint resistance, wield ability. I think Tim should do a follow up on this on all the GPUs
I don't get the design choice. Nothing can even fit there and it looks uglier without the third slot. (youtube being slow with the comments again bruh)
Its one of the reason i choose to go for Custom Watercooling, rather than having 3 or 4 slot cards, u can just have the waterblock on a single slot or 2 slots. Saves alot of space, specially useful for Small-Form-Factor builds
2 8-pin connectors on a gpu gives you a power pudget of 375 Watts. If there are 9070xt models with 3 8 pin connectors, that means the AIBs expect that these cards can excede that. I guess the 9070XTs standard tdp will be around 350 Watts. This is a lot for what seems to be 5070 level of performance.
3 x 8-Pins are mostly for Stability reasons. My Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XT has also 3 times 8-Pins even though 2 would be more then enough. Heck there are even 7900XTXs with 2 times 8 Pin. Its really coming down to if its a Top or lower Tier Model.
It’s a shame none of the vendors thought outside the box and turned the 12VHPWR 90degrees so the cable could be run down the length of the card to make it easier to cable manage through the side cable run slots instead of it having to be highly visible even with black sleeves.
While having smaller versions would be nice, having a big cooler to help it run cooler is not a bad thing necessarily, I know redundant, right? And I say so as an ITX lover. I think I will be keeping my 3080 ti for a while. I don't think 5080 will offer a lot more performance without DLSS4 and all that rubbish.
dont just look at size. weight is more important. some models are just bigger to fool buyers in to thinking they have good cooler, while in reality having fewer cooling fins. @CalaTec
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j there is only one way to know, I take for granted that people watch reviews with temps and other stuff in mind to make sure that they buy good products, especially if you are going to spend 1000€ or more. Besides, I don't think what you comment will be a problem on high end cards, I have never heard such a problem on any review on any of the high end cards in the last 10 years at least. I might be wrong.
@@256shadesofgreyit actually costs 25% more. Since there's no way nvidia will increase price to performance in the high end, that means that it will also only be 25% faster
tbh the MSI Inspire looks great - finally a card that is not all bulky, plastic stuff, prints and rgp. Its feels like a mature card and not something for the kids to play with. I hope other will follow and release similar designs.
Beeing a serious host while not beeing a serious host at the same time was actually hilarious, I guess 😂 The RGB sliders turned all the way to the max, are going to improve the 5070 performance by 5090%, very cool!
different demographics. nvidia is very clearly not trying to cater to "gamers" with their FE cards. they are going for high end consumer market that is all about pretentious minimalism and small form factor all of these aib's are targeting typical gamers, the polar opposite. people who have grotesquely enormous and gaudy rgb fish tank cases crushing their desks.
@@A_GWAKwork_Orange thats nonsense because you can do a "gamer" look with 2 slots design too ... and if the 2 slot cooler solution can handle the power of this card you dont need to waste tons of material to make a bulky "gamer" look thats twice as fat as the FE cooler
@@hanswurst3811 of course you can, but the gamer stereotype is all about extreme excess. oversized 360mm aio on a x3d cpu for no reason. oversized cpu pump lcd display for no reason. oversized 10x rgb fan fish tank case for no reason... all of these gaudy gamer components are popular because people keep buying them, the same people that these companies are targeting with these oversized gpus. the trend may eventually shift, but it certainly isnt happening now, and we are not the target demographic here
You should be more worried about those willing to pay the ramped up prices from such sellers. Buyers determine pricing, not sellers. Scalping is just gas lighting to deny the reaiity that gamers have agency, that they are responsible for their purchasing decisions. If demand is such that higher prices are viable, then at the end of the day, preventing retail companies from adjusting to match (which isn't a free market) merely creates an exploitable profit gap, which results in a black/grey market. Yes this sucks for those who refuse to pay such nutty prices (I certainly wouldn't), but as Bitwit showed with the 3090 launch, there are a lot of gamers who are perfectly happy to pay 100% more for only a 10% performance gain (FOMO is a powerful thing). Gaming has become a victim of its own expanded popularity, made worse by GPUs no longer being genuine gaming designs (they're instead just the table scraps from Enterprise), as The Good Old Gamer showed several years ago. NVIDIA could help prevent this by ensuring a much larger supply, but they don't want to do that, indeed they very carefully control supply to ensure demand is always greater than supply. Personally I think NVIDIA's styling is ugly as heck, and almost all the AIB models are plain & boring (three fans in a surround, every time, yawn), but I'm an old git. :}
You’ll be fine - last gen was significantly better than 30 series and nvidia has even more production time with 50 series plus no crypto boom. 2k price tag is a huge price tag for scalpers so I really don’t think they are coming for it as bad as you think - the 5070 on the other hand? Yea that’ll be sniped
@@SkylineGTR06yea it’ll happen but last gen was pretty easy to get a 4090/4080. I added to cart with ease literally no challenge at all lol. 50 series has more capacity this time. We’ll be good. Just don’t sleep in until noon expecting to get it on your time.
@ hate scalpers, I don’t understand how people would even buy a scalped GPU, personally I would just buy the cheapest GPU I could find at that point of the same model
"You can probably buy all four of these 5090s for the price of the Suprim Liquid" ...what? Does he know something we don't, did they up the price this gen? Or is he confusing that card with the ROG Matrix? When I checked early last year the 4090 Suprim Liquid wasn't priced like that. I'm happy to throw an AIB a bit extra so I don't have to mess around with cutting & correcting thickness of thermal pads installing my own water block. But if everything liquid cooled is now going to go for the price of the ROG Matrix then I'll order a block from Alpha Cool.
You need a wallet as thick as those graphics cards. You can always buy one and pay it during 10 years, using credit 💳. When you finish paying we will have optic based quantum GPUs 100x better than current ones.

This time the PCB is tiny and air can flow through the cooler freely for the most part which should massively increase efficiency, i.e. significantly smaller coolers should be sufficient.
This reminded me to that Spongebob episode when Patrick was at the Jellyfish Convention and he had to touch everything but a guard was following him saying "don't touch" 🤣
Why is the 5080 literally half a 5090, but the card are almost the same size?
Because Nvidia sucks. I listed the Bare minimum for specs for Blackwell below. I doubt the 5070 will beat the 4070 super because it’s clocked significantly lower and has 8 less SMs (1024 cuda cores)
5070
56 SM
7,168 cuda cores
256-bit, 16GB GDDR7
$549
5070 Ti
80 SM
10,240 cuda cores
256-bit, 16GB GDDR7
$749
5080
96 SM
12,288 cuda cores
320-bit, 20GB GDDR7
$999
5090
170 SM
21,760 cuda cores
512-bit, 32GB GDDR7
$1749
If they actually configured the GPUs this way, I would probably buy one even though the SM counts are still too low. The 5070 really ought to have 60 or 64 SMs, 5070 Ti 84 or 88 SMs, 5080 104 SMs but you know NGreedia!!!

DO NOT LET STEVE GO NEAR UNPROTECTED GPUS
Оnly if there are 69 of them! 😉
THIS RIGHT HERE is the type of content that really makes an impact! Everyone and there mother can make a video and just talk about the official specs, but this here is truly unique. That's why I subbed.
I feel like we need more info on how the GPUs feel in the hand, their texture, fingerprint resistance, wield ability. I think Tim should do a follow up on this on all the GPUs
i've watched quite a few reviewer videos in my time on the internet but i cant quite say that i've seen a touch test until now
Wow, he literally put his hands on that nVidia plastic! This is mind blowing!
Exciting times
And he didn't even lick the AMD plastic or back metal plate. You can tell he's an nVidia fanboy.
Lol he seems pissed that Steve forced him to make this video.
So disappointing to see all of these 3 slot wide GPUs with just 2 slots for holding them in...
Almost all of them come with some form of GPU stand or bracket to support them on the other side.
I don't get the design choice. Nothing can even fit there and it looks uglier without the third slot. (youtube being slow with the comments again bruh)
@@trigniteWhich wouldn't even be necessary if they had a 3 slot bracket and made the card itself a little more rigid.
@ I get that, but if I remember correctly, the 4090 Suprim X did have that third slot, having that extra one would be nice
they all come with a stand bracket holder now a days
I love seeing other creators walking around behind, like at 25:00 you can see Paul'sHW and LTT guys.
Came to see if anyone else noticed lol
You touched so many video cards, good job, very valuable! Thanks!
Why is Tim carrying around all the cards like he's going to checkout and take them home? 😆
At this point the cards are so big , you might as well add CPU,Ram and IO to it and have a AIO experience.
They call him Sticky Steve.
We love Sticky Steve don't we folks.
Tim the Toucher!
What we’ve learned is that, 8 years later, the EVGA 1080 Ti skeletonized shroud remains the coolest looking cooler design ever made.
Amen. Was literally thinking about this last night lol
loved that design, I paid extra for a blacked out version, no regrets, haha
Seeing Steve stand up literally feels like AI
Incredible content. It wouldn't be the same without someone touching the GPU, very important.
Yep it would be a different video if he didn't touch them all, so you're right it wouldn't be the same 😮
everyone was staring why is this guy holding 6 gpus lol
This video is very touching....
No, I will not apologize.
We want smaller. These GPU are insanely huge.
Its one of the reason i choose to go for Custom Watercooling, rather than having 3 or 4 slot cards, u can just have the waterblock on a single slot or 2 slots.
Saves alot of space, specially useful for Small-Form-Factor builds
We like our house to be the case. And run with it's own generator and air conditioner...
x2 ventus cards should be up to your liking then
@@azraelfaust487don’t they melt in 2 years
the RTX5000 FE models are supposed to be really small bc of the new design with the PCB between the two fans.
I hope they fix the coil whine on these new GPU's
Only missing Benny Benassi -
Satisfaction in the background.
😂😂😂😂
29:21 Steve is sitting on his couch talking to the TV, "That'll do Tim, that'll do."
It's when Steve has a cigarette hanging off his lip.. and says was it good for you too?
17:25 Alex spotted filming a vod for LTT lol
ShortCircuit
21:15 is a good indication of how quad SLI would have looked if it still was a thing 🙃
2 8-pin connectors on a gpu gives you a power pudget of 375 Watts.
If there are 9070xt models with 3 8 pin connectors, that means the AIBs expect that these cards can excede that.
I guess the 9070XTs standard tdp will be around 350 Watts. This is a lot for what seems to be 5070 level of performance.
3 x 8-Pins are mostly for Stability reasons. My Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XT has also 3 times 8-Pins even though 2 would be more then enough. Heck there are even 7900XTXs with 2 times 8 Pin. Its really coming down to if its a Top or lower Tier Model.
5:15 in the morning and i can't sleep. Ill just watch RTX 5000 videos
2:30 am here just woke back up. Went to bed at 7:30 pm
That’s a lot of videos to watch, you going to watch 5000 videos? wtf?
@@NahBNah I'll just watch a few and then upscale it so it'll be 5000
Lol Tim touching these cards is still more interisting then Jensens presentation 🤣
"This isn't possible woth AI" lmao his presentation feels like it's written by an AI that was told to affirm its own goodness throughout.
I love that Steve just wants you to touch the GPUs on his behalf! great job anyways Tim!
It’s a shame none of the vendors thought outside the box and turned the 12VHPWR 90degrees so the cable could be run down the length of the card to make it easier to cable manage through the side cable run slots instead of it having to be highly visible even with black sleeves.
"So here's a GPU, it has fans, fans have fins, and those fins help improving the cooling capacity" xD
I hate how oversized those cards are. The 5080 will pull only 30W more than the 4080. Those 5080 cards don't need to be that massive.
While having smaller versions would be nice, having a big cooler to help it run cooler is not a bad thing necessarily, I know redundant, right?
And I say so as an ITX lover. I think I will be keeping my 3080 ti for a while. I don't think 5080 will offer a lot more performance without DLSS4 and all that rubbish.
dont just look at size. weight is more important. some models are just bigger to fool buyers in to thinking they have good cooler, while in reality having fewer cooling fins. @CalaTec
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j there is only one way to know, I take for granted that people watch reviews with temps and other stuff in mind to make sure that they buy good products, especially if you are going to spend 1000€ or more. Besides, I don't think what you comment will be a problem on high end cards, I have never heard such a problem on any review on any of the high end cards in the last 10 years at least. I might be wrong.
I think the same cooler for the 5090 is being used on the 5080 as that reduces manufacturing costs. So yes overkill for the 5080
You want it to be as thin as a laptop and be at 99 degrees celcius at all times?
I cant wait for the 5090 hardware unboxed and other tech youtuber raster benchmarks
Prediction: 30% more performance on a 30% bigger chip that consumes 30% more power and costs 30% more.
@@256shadesofgreyit actually costs 25% more. Since there's no way nvidia will increase price to performance in the high end, that means that it will also only be 25% faster
Gigabyte saw this mans coming and nailed down the gpus. 😂
tbh the MSI Inspire looks great - finally a card that is not all bulky, plastic stuff, prints and rgp. Its feels like a mature card and not something for the kids to play with. I hope other will follow and release similar designs.
Steve wants to see him touch every GPU. It's a bit of a weird fetish, but I won't judge.
Didn't realise how much i needed to watch Tim handle $4,000K+ GPU's like toys in my life before.
20:26 it's called we do a little trolling
I got nervous and sweaty palms when Tim attempts to hold four 5090 with one hand, imagine him doing a Linus and drops 10K worth of GPUs
21:25 They would never let Linus hold them like that
Beeing a serious host while not beeing a serious host at the same time was actually hilarious, I guess 😂
The RGB sliders turned all the way to the max, are going to improve the 5070 performance by 5090%, very cool!
didnt know Steve was a freak like that
It is tim...
@2:30 why are these so monstrous big if the founders 5090 !!!!! is 2 slots !!?!?!?!?
different demographics. nvidia is very clearly not trying to cater to "gamers" with their FE cards. they are going for high end consumer market that is all about pretentious minimalism and small form factor
all of these aib's are targeting typical gamers, the polar opposite. people who have grotesquely enormous and gaudy rgb fish tank cases crushing their desks.
@@A_GWAKwork_Orange thats nonsense because you can do a "gamer" look with 2 slots design too ... and if the 2 slot cooler solution can handle the power of this card you dont need to waste tons of material to make a bulky "gamer" look thats twice as fat as the FE cooler
@@hanswurst3811 of course you can, but the gamer stereotype is all about extreme excess. oversized 360mm aio on a x3d cpu for no reason. oversized cpu pump lcd display for no reason. oversized 10x rgb fan fish tank case for no reason...
all of these gaudy gamer components are popular because people keep buying them, the same people that these companies are targeting with these oversized gpus. the trend may eventually shift, but it certainly isnt happening now, and we are not the target demographic here
Because founders will be extremely hot and loud. Use your brain. How can a 2 slot gpu cool 575W with just two fans?
Remember 3080 and 3090 FE temperatures? Those were 2 slot. And 5090's TDP? Exactly...
I’m so worried about scalpers buying up all the founders edition cards, I love the unique cooling solution of the founders edition 5090
It's happening for sure. Also it's the only 5090 option for Small Factor Guys.
You should be more worried about those willing to pay the ramped up prices from such sellers. Buyers determine pricing, not sellers. Scalping is just gas lighting to deny the reaiity that gamers have agency, that they are responsible for their purchasing decisions. If demand is such that higher prices are viable, then at the end of the day, preventing retail companies from adjusting to match (which isn't a free market) merely creates an exploitable profit gap, which results in a black/grey market. Yes this sucks for those who refuse to pay such nutty prices (I certainly wouldn't), but as Bitwit showed with the 3090 launch, there are a lot of gamers who are perfectly happy to pay 100% more for only a 10% performance gain (FOMO is a powerful thing). Gaming has become a victim of its own expanded popularity, made worse by GPUs no longer being genuine gaming designs (they're instead just the table scraps from Enterprise), as The Good Old Gamer showed several years ago.
NVIDIA could help prevent this by ensuring a much larger supply, but they don't want to do that, indeed they very carefully control supply to ensure demand is always greater than supply.
Personally I think NVIDIA's styling is ugly as heck, and almost all the AIB models are plain & boring (three fans in a surround, every time, yawn), but I'm an old git. :}
You’ll be fine - last gen was significantly better than 30 series and nvidia has even more production time with 50 series plus no crypto boom. 2k price tag is a huge price tag for scalpers so I really don’t think they are coming for it as bad as you think - the 5070 on the other hand? Yea that’ll be sniped
@@SkylineGTR06yea it’ll happen but last gen was pretty easy to get a 4090/4080. I added to cart with ease literally no challenge at all lol. 50 series has more capacity this time. We’ll be good. Just don’t sleep in until noon expecting to get it on your time.
@ hate scalpers, I don’t understand how people would even buy a scalped GPU, personally I would just buy the cheapest GPU I could find at that point of the same model
"You can probably buy all four of these 5090s for the price of the Suprim Liquid" ...what? Does he know something we don't, did they up the price this gen? Or is he confusing that card with the ROG Matrix? When I checked early last year the 4090 Suprim Liquid wasn't priced like that. I'm happy to throw an AIB a bit extra so I don't have to mess around with cutting & correcting thickness of thermal pads installing my own water block. But if everything liquid cooled is now going to go for the price of the ROG Matrix then I'll order a block from Alpha Cool.
*Do the White Editions for ASUS come out after the launch versions?*
Did they fix the new power connectors issue?, Nobody is talking about it anymore I wounder what happened?
It was fixed with the 2x8 atx 3.1 standard
@megageek8509 They could have just fkn go with 3 or 4 PCIe connecters and that's it instead of this stupid ATX
@@Itsyesfahad sure, but they didn’t and it’s fixed.
They did. 12VHPWR was replaced by 12V-2x6 that is backwards compatible and doesn't have the same issue.
One of these GPUs must be in my price range, right? Right?
You need a wallet as thick as those graphics cards. You can always buy one and pay it during 10 years, using credit 💳. When you finish paying we will have optic based quantum GPUs 100x better than current ones.
if it's lower than 550 then.. potentially the 9070xt or 9070.. maybe
5070 TI
Or just better yourself and get a proper job
@@SPG8989 get off your high horse. You’d probably call Zuckerberg a brokie cus he drives a Honda fit.
22:00 if you buy a liquid cooled 5080 instead of a normal 5090 you're seriously such a SUCKER xd
Well atleast it will be really quiet

It all makes sense now!
brah why is founders edition slim n sexy this year while the others got fatty fat fat 🤣
Steve is an eccentric genius his passion and live for holding and testing uncountable GPUs is unmatched.
Good call on the video seeing all the different looks. This helps with future builds keep up the great work guys. Keep growing 👍🏾
Im excited for Steve benching all 42 cards vs amd, intel, and previous nvidia GPUs
next we need a video of him bench-pressing them all at once
I’ve been loving the CES coverage
Us: "Make cards that are fast please"
Nvidia: here are a bunch of fake frames and fake res bullshit
Us: "sigh... at least give us vram"
Nvidia: lol nope
businesses: get rid of our workforce
Nvidia: We can sell you a dream of that happening
Nvidia: Nah but every card comes with a bottle of AI snakeoil valued at 1000$
17:40 "Probably going to struggle to hold this in one hand"
Proceeds to hold 4 GPU with one hand lol
This needs to be a new tradition going forward. Love it. Thank you for the hands-on experience. Now we just need another video where Tim has to showcase the RGB on all the cards, because reasons. The sarcasm and sass was very entertaining Tim. From all of us, thank you Steve for asking him to do this. Love you guys.
