Launch-day pre-order arrived. Happy 5090 days

Roasts are welcomed.

I bought a fancy-pants 12V-2x6 H++ power cable with individually sleeved wires and … it did not work. GPU LED lights on, but PC could not detect the GPU at all. Stressful AF. I upgraded BIOS, I restricted the slot to PCIe 4, I nuked all the drivers, I rechecked all power connectors were properly seated. No joy.

Then I tried the adapter with four power cables and it worked immediately. I’m stuck with these ugly-ass cables, but hey, it’s working.

Even has 176 ROPs and it hasn’t caught fire yet. Happy days.

It runs like a dream. It felt good running the benchmarks. Messed around with Cyberpunk, Indy, Black Myth, and Rivals. Joyful.
