The GeForce RTX 5090 just got an actual discount for Prime Day — $350 saving makes it one of the cheapest we've seen

I would be more impressed if it was not PNY card, not so sure about buying that brand or how they honor the warranty if I have issues. Since it is PNY it might explain why these cards have such deep discounts, even if it's just for a few days.
 
PNY is an old brand, been around since the early 2000s making Nvidia cards. Major supplier of what would have been called reference designs in retail stores. I want to say my Geforce 6600 was a PNY, and I think I had an FX series card from them as well. Might have been Gigabyte though.

I think more recently it is Foxconn and Flextronics that makes the FE cards, but I think PNY may have done the 10 series. Always been a tough topic to search, always getting references to TSMC when I want assembly information.

For this generation it looks like PNY and Zotac took it upon themselves to do DisplayPort 2.1b at 80GB/s, the rest stopped short at DP 2.1a.

But ASUS is the only one that bothered with current sensing on the 12VHPWR connector.

PNY is the board partner/distributor for the product line formally known as Quadro, is headquartered in New Jersey, and has been making Nvidia GPUs since the AGP era. They might not be the biggest name in the gaming space and typically don't make the most adventerous designs or have the highest factory OCs, but they're not some eBay/Newegg Marketplace mystery brand that's gonna up and vanish when the warranty claims come in.

I actually had one of their cards during the GTX 700 generation, and had to make a warranty claim on it when part of the power delivery burned up (I may or may not have both been overclocking and running it non-stop in a GPGPU capacity). They didn't ask a whole lot of questions other than the usual date and SN and proof of purchase stuff, and mailed me a new card in full retail packaging pretty quickly. Whether the experience is still like that, I can't say.

I had a PNY Quadro P4000, worked like a charm for 6 years for me, I gave it away with the old PC to my mother in law who has been using it the past two years with no problems.

It shouldn't even be sold! Might as well throw lighter fluid at pc set it a light & be done with it! Its health & safety hazard! I play it for like 3/4 hr got to shut it down got thermal 10 fans & a mighty expensive pc wish I did my research 1st 🤦
 
Unless are you using this card professionally, you are an idiot if you purchased it for gaming.
Yep that be me🤦 I had a mighty expensive pc built for gaming but unplayable with this card ironic isn't it? Absolutely daunting RESEARCH GUYS!
 
Weird I got mine at 3ghz using 500 watts peaks around 60 degrees in gpu bound extreme Oblivion remastered lumen hardware using dlaa at 4k. It's ( PNY 5090 oc air )exactly 35% delta difference over my 4090 suprim liquid at 3ghz.
 
Spending MY money the way I want doesn't make me an idiot. It makes me weathly. I'll likely buy a 6090 too. Why so jealous of how folks amuse themselves?
Right now gaming at 4K is only possible on a 4090 and 5090 if you want relatively high refresh rates without upscaling. I withheld on buying a 5080 because it’s simply inadequate for this purpose unless you turn on MFG.
