warezme I keep my 4090 voltage limited by 84% so this is a non issue for me but it would be pretty annoying if it was limiting cards default voltage and limiting performance from advertised values. It doesn't sound like its doing that. Most overclocks unless one is dealing with exotic cooling and very high voltages don't really yield that significant of an improvement from stock performance. At least not enough to warranty damaging or limiting the lifespan of the card. Reply

The card is already so overpowered why risk damaging it in today's environment of $3700 5090s. Reply

YSCCC I've heard that Vibe coding is a good thing from Jensen, now it apparently is sooooo good that since Nvidia adopted that their drivers are never stable nor working properly as it should be Reply

Chokkymalk Oh no a whole 200mhz! How will I ever play without that one extra frame per second!?!! Ps. I'm just being silly. I understand that some people want to squeeze every last drop of performance. Reply

Key considerations

  • Investor positioning can change fast
  • Volatility remains possible near catalysts
  • Macro rates and liquidity can dominate flows
