Another RTX 5090 has gone down but this time it has something else to blame other than its own 16-pin connector. The connector is still what melted but potentially because of DLSS 5 pulling way too much power at the back end.

Single-slot low-profile 75W RTX 3060 with no power connectors disappoints in tests — GPU runs entirely off the PCIe slot, but offers severely crippled performance and frightening thermals

The entire PC hardware industry is in shambles when it comes to consumer products, and GPUs are one of the most affected components. Everything from budget options to high-end models is now significantly more expensive than what it could be had for a year ago.

Nvidia’s latest driver update breaks mVolt+ overclocking functionality — Nifty, open-source app allowed users to increase the power limit to 700W on their RTX 50-series GPUs without hardware mods

Overclocking utility mVolt+ seems to have been blocked by the latest Nvidia driver update, hard crashing the moment you try to adjust the core power limit. However, it seems like a driver conflict more than a deliberate blacklist since another app, Hydra 2.3B Pro, is working just fine.
