Forward-looking: As cases of burning and melting RTX 5090 power cables continue to mount, Asus has demonstrated that its new Back to the Future (BTF) power connector design can maintain safe temperatures while delivering more than triple the GPU's stock wattage limit. The test also revealed that BTF can work in tandem with traditional 16-pin connectors – just in case anyone ever wants to attempt a 2,600W overclock. In a recent Bilibili video, translated by Tom's Hardware, Asus China GM Tony Yu

Repair technician finds three of four RTX 4090s were fakes packing RTX 3000-series GPUs

Why it matters: The surprisingly common practice of replacing a high-end graphics card's GPU with a different one from a cheaper card, borking it in the process, isn't going away.

It’s true : Nvidia has just confirmed it shipped some RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, and even some RTX 5070 Ti graphics chips that were missing render units, as TechPowerUp originally reported — and that you’ll be able to get a replacement if your card was affected. We have identified a rare issue affecting less than 0.5% (half a percent) of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 Ti GPUs which have one fewer ROP than specified. The average graphical performance impact is 4%, with no impact on AI and Compute w
