Well as I read it 9900 9950 3Dd caches are OK?
My 9960X has a late BIOS....SO ITS ONLY A short time under a year and no trouble with 95w. and under 100w. highs registered in HWMON as peaks.
Can it be some oddity of core counts and cache that mismatch, a disharmony or assemetry.
So we could say this rtx5070ti discovery means they really selling a rtx5060ti or a vanilla, rtx5070, like fullboat. As if, nVdia did not know.
look at this as a cheap thrust to penetrate a hungry enthusiast market this moment, with little on the shelf.....
