Well i finally received a 5090 after ordering it on the 30th January here in the UK, upgrading from a 3080ti. i play on the Alienware OLED ultrawide 3440x1440p and i have to say im quite impressed with the card! but probably not for the reason thats obvious..

Running the performance BIOS on the cards built in switch and running the afterburner OC scanner, for a simple and dirty overclock im getting a decent Steel Nomad score of 15k with an intel 13700k, i know Steel Nomad doesnt do CPU test so doesnt factor in the results as such but just shows you dont need a 9800x3d etc etc for 4k gaming!! as much as i do want to pull the trigger on one! i'll probebly hold off!

But the thing thats impressed me the most about this specific card, is the temps! im running total stock fan curves and after playing clair obscur E33 for a couple of hours, the card never went above 47c! the card was hovering around 400w-450w depending on whats happening in game but as can be seen from the afterburner monitor the card was happily chugging along around 120fps -140fps at my resolution (Epic Preset)

my 3080ti had a alphacool Eiswolf 2 on it as an "AIO" and that hovered around 58-60c when gaming. very impressed with cooler performance of the Liquid Suprim!
