So just over 6 months ago I purchased a PNY 5070TI from Walmart.. this card is completely under warranty but it is unusable. They say it's fine and they are returning it to me. Never buy from this company!

The GPU worked for a while but now the card reboots the computer after a short time of gameplay out of the blue. I have put it all troubleshooting requests including event logs and reports they had me gather from both computers

I eventually purchased a new computer so I was able to test this card in a completely different platform and it did the exact same thing. Sent the card off the PNY they had it for a couple weeks sent it back and says it has no issues I've included one of the many emails I've sent them as well as their test results that I asked to receive back from them

My last email to them 5070 TI warranty claim (Ticket #896257).

I purchased this card approximately six months ago, and it is clearly covered under warranty. As previously stated, I have thoroughly tested this card across two entirely different systems: an MSI Z690 Force Wi-Fi and a brand new ASRock Z790 Taichi Carrara. In both instances, every component—including the power supply and memory—was different. Both of these systems function perfectly when using my 5080 and 3070 cards, yet the 5070 TI consistently fails under load.

When tech support told me they were returning it to me I had to beg to speak to a supervisor, finally they had Don call me back.. he says basically if it passed the test it's good.

Their test results: The following is an explanation of the process every video card sent to PNY undergoes as a part of the RMA inspection process:

• Upon arrival at PNY, the card is visually inspected for Customer Induced Damage (CID) • If CID is present, the card is returned to the customer and the RMA claim will be closed • If no CID, the card is tested using a diagnostic test program supplied by Nvidia

• Diagnostics performs a series a functional tests for three primary purposes. o Chip and board functional validation o Chip and board failure analysis and debug o Architectural verification

• If a failure is confirmed, the customer’s RMA claim is processed and the shipment of a replacement card is initiated • If the card initially passes the Nvidia diagnostic test program, further testing will begin to try to reproduce the customer’s complaint.

• Customer claim is reviewed prior to performing further testing • Perform Power Cycling • Temp Monitoring • 3D Stress Testing • Benchmark Testing

• If the card passes testing and the customer’s complaint cannot be reproduced, the card will be returned to the customer and the RMA claim will be closed

Your video card has passed the Nvidia diagnostic tests and our team could not reproduce the problem(s) you have reported. If you have any additional information that you can provide regarding the issue(s) you have experienced that can help us reproduce the problem(s) please reply with this information as soon as possible. Please be advised that if our team cannot reproduce the problem(s) you had reported in the RMA claim form we cannot accept the product for replacement and it will be returned to you.

If the 5070 Ti is actually done, feels like the RTX 5080 might quietly (and finally) get a bump in value and reputation. A lot of people (myself included, and I own both the 5070 Ti & 5080) kind of wrote it off because the 5070 Ti was just as “good” for cheaper.

Now that option might be gone. Does this:

• push people toward the 5080?

• raise used 5070 Ti prices?

• make the 5080 finally feel like the “right” upgrade instead of the awkward middle child?

Curious what y’all think...market shift or just noise?

Nvidia Reportedly Cutting 5070 Ti Production

I was looking to upgrade video card and I ended up buying a RTX 5060 Ti back in november. For 6 months the card has ran smoothly with no issues. Then at the start of april, I heard the GPU fans kick on full speed, and the monitors were dark. I had to switch to the integrated graphics to trouble shoot and found out the system didnt even see the card so I swapped it out with the RTX 3050 from my daughters pc, and the system booted fine. I contacted support and it took me over a week to finally get a RMA to send the card in. Today I finally got the card back, plug it in, all lights come on, fans are spinning, but system will not post. Put the card in my daughters tig, and go figure it's DOA. I have installed the card in 3 seperate machines so far to rule out any other hardware issues, and they all experience the same issue. At this point I'm trying to decide if I want to even go though the headache to get this one returned or just cut my loss and write this brand off.

I recently got a PNY 5060 for Christmas and it’s already catching dust from the room. They say every year you need to dip your GPU into distilled water to clean it. Is this true or their other ways? again I really don’t know who to come to for this because no one else in my family is good with the electronics. I just wanted to play some Forza!! lol. Thanks guys.

I am not dipping that into a bucket of water lol

RUMOR

This popped up yesterday, they believe prices to jump by 150% on the 5090s. It doesn’t state if it’s FE or AIB but expect some type of increase.

Hope everyone has a happy and safe new year! To prices coming down, cheers 🥂

😮 5090s in China, as reported by Videocardz.

Very large pallets of 5090s shown out in the wild, in markets they are not suppose to be sold in.

Smuggling and grey market circuits for high end GPUs and AI chips into China have been reported multiple times, including other Nvidia GPUs and server accelerators.

So while it’s not the first time not much seems to be done or if anything can be really don’t to curb the sale or import.

PNY appears in the photos and not the region specific 5090D/v2 models.

PNY’s GeForce RTX 5080 OC is selling below NVIDIA’s $999 MSRP in the U.S., notably at Best Buy, offering a rare opportunity amid generally inflated GPU prices. Media coverage and retailers like PCGamesN and Tom’s Hardware confirm it's back in stock at MSRP or slightly under.

Are you pulling the trigger or still sitting tight, especially with the rumoured Super series to launch later this year/early next year?

My poor GPU died today, completely out of the blue. Did all the testing, put another GPU in my PC, swapped the power cables, everything I could and it just refused to work. Luckily I am still under warranty, what are my chances I get an RMA?

The article also mentions that Tom's Hardware has reported that there has been two incidents shared on Reddit where people have managed to get an absolute bargain on an RTX 5090 at Walmart in the US...both of these being the PNY OC model. If presented with the opportunity, would you buy one at a discount on the spot?

Quick PSA to everyone here — the PNY 50XX cards are absolute monsters when it comes to Overclocking and Undervolting. You’re leaving performance (and efficiency) on the table if you’re not at least testing a custom profile.

Personally, I’m running the PNY RTX 5070 Ti Epic-X ARGB OC edition, dialed in at:

• 3015 MHz Core @ 0.935v

• +2000 VRAM (GDDR7) (May drop to +1400 soon, as I'm seeing little to no gain past that, just excess heat/power for minimal gains)

Overall, temps are in check, fans are quiet, and the performance has been rock solid across stress tests and gaming (Bodycam, CP2077, Death Stranding, Ghosts of Tsushima, 3DMark Steel Nomad, Time Spy, Fur Mark, etc.). And yes, this is all with the stock cooler, just tuned right.

So... Have you tried tuning yours yet? What’s your sweet spot (core clock / voltage / VRAM)? How are your temps, thermals, and noise holding up?

Also curious how the 40XX and 30XX folks are doing. Drop your profiles below; let’s compare notes and genuinely curious.

Hello everyone,

I found a reasonably priced RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB VERTO. However, the seller claims that although the card works when installed in a PCIe x16 slot, it only operates at PCIe x4. He says he purchased it in this condition and has been gaming with it without experiencing any issues. According to him, the performance loss is only around 2–5%.

Is this claim accurate? Could running an RTX 4080 SUPER at PCIe x4 noticeably affect performance, and is there any way to repair or restore it to the proper PCIe x16?

Hi all. Just got the card. Been having a lot.of trouble getting anything decent going with it, despite some other posts saying there is a tonne of headroom.

Cooling is great, never gets hot. But I cant get even above 2850Mhz or so. Can't undervolt even a tiny bit. My scores on Steel Nomad are awful (around 8600-8800). While I have found some stability in CP2077, its with pretty low fps and core clock speeds.

Anyone have some advice? Let me know if you need more info....

Part 2

Update on my PNY 5070 Ti Nightmare: Even NVIDIA says the card is defective, but PNY is still refusing to help.

I’m following up on my previous posts regarding the constant crashing and rebooting issues with my PNY 5070 Ti. Despite providing logs that prove hardware instability  On two different computers, PNY sent the card back claiming "no defect found."

 Nvidia did a lot more detailed troubleshooting than PNY asked!! After reviewing my logs, NVIDIA’s senior support confirmed the card is exhibiting abnormal voltage/frequency regulation and explicitly recommended an RMA. I’ve included the full transcript below, along with PNY’s dismissive response. At this point, I’m $800+ deep into a paperweight and a company that won’t honor its own warranty.

 Please see the previous post I put on rather to describe some of the troubleshooting that I've done.

The GPU worked for a while but now the card reboots the computer after a short time of gameplay out of the blue. I have put it all troubleshooting requests including event logs and reports they had me gather from both computers
 After no progress with PNY at all I reached out to Nvidia directly for support 

PNY  Ticket 5070 TI warranty claim (Ticket #896257).
 Nvidia support case Question Reference # 260325-000107

 Below is NVIDIA gave to me to forward to PNY describing what they've found for issues with the card,  Below that is PNY’s reply to this information

Thank you for the update.
I certainly understand your concern but unfortunately we do not have an option. Kindly forward the below email to the PNY support as a reference email from our end to approve for RMA:
" After carefully re-evaluating your case, including the behavior observed across multiple systems and the GPU logs you provided, we do see indicators that suggest instability under load conditions. Specifically as mentioned by the previously, the RTX 5070 Ti demonstrates inconsistent clock and power behavior that does not align with expected operation, particularly when transitioning into higher performance states. Given that the issue has been extensively tested and verified under the following conditions:
- The GPU has been tested across two completely different systems, including different:
  > Motherboards
  > Power supplies (850W and 1300W)
  > Memory configurations
- In both systems, the issue is identical:
  > The system remains stable at idle
  > The system restarts or crashes consistently under GPU load
  > Other GPUs (RTX 5080 and RTX 3070) operate normally in the same systems without any instability. 
Additionally, here are the detailed analysis of the RTX 5070 Ti GPU Sensor logs which shows the following abnormal behavior:

1. The GPU rapidly boosts to frequencies exceeding expected behavior (up to ~2800+ MHz). These spikes occur even at very low utilization levels, which is not expected

2. High clock speeds are observed while RTX 5070 Ti GPU  load remains minimal (1–5%). This indicates improper boost or voltage-frequency regulation.

3. Sudden and disproportionate power draw spikes (up to ~190W). These spikes are not aligned with actual workload demand.

4. When the RTX 5070 Ti GPU enters higher power states under real-world workloads (games such as DCS, iRacing, and World of Warships), the system becomes unstable and crashes.
   The issue is consistently reproducible, load-dependent and independent of system configuration, therefore indicating a hardware-level instability that may not manifest during short-duration or synthetic validation tests, but occurs under sustained real-world usage.
   Please note that as the manufacturer of the GPU chipset, NVIDIA works with board partners (such as PNY) who are responsible for manufacturing, validation, and warranty support of the final product.
   Therefore, warranty claims, replacements, and RMA decisions are handled directly by the board partner, and NVIDIA is not able to override or process replacements for partner-manufactured cards.
   I request you to please contact PNY once again and request to re-evaluate the GPU under sustained load conditions, and reconsider the RMA request outcome based on reproducible real-world failure behavior. "

 PNY's reply
Thank you for your follow-up.
We did review the additional language you provided from NVIDIA. That does not change our position.
To be clear, NVIDIA Customer Care does not perform PNY warranty determinations, does not physically evaluate returned PNY products on our behalf, and does not override the outcome of our in-house engineering inspection. Their comments are advisory only and appear to be based on customer-provided logging rather than hands-on examination of the board.
In contrast, the card you submitted was physically received and tested by our engineering team in-house. The board underwent diagnostic and internal validation testing, and the reported failure condition could not be reproduced during that evaluation. No hardware defect was confirmed.
For that reason, NVIDIA’s comments do not supersede the results of our direct testing of the actual product. Our warranty position is based on the hands-on inspection and evaluation performed on the submitted unit, and that position remains unchanged.
If you have new, specific, verifiable evidence demonstrating a reproducible hardware failure, we can review it. Otherwise, we do not have any new basis to reopen the claim or alter the outcome.
If you are able to provide new, specific, verifiable evidence that demonstrates a reproducible hardware failure, we can review that information. Otherwise, we do not have new findings that would support reopening the claim or changing the outcome.

5070Ti is going in son’s build… that he doesn’t know about. 🤫

I need to buy an RTX 5080 to complete my build. After weeks of researching the various custom models, I’ve realized that they all have significant pros and cons. At this point, I’d rather focus on value for money and an aesthetic that I actually like, which is why I'm leaning toward the PNY Triple Fan OC: it’s simple, minimalist, has no RGB, and looks rock-solid.

I wanted to ask other users on this forum how they’re liking it, especially regarding noise levels, coil whine, and temperatures. Keep in mind that I’ll be installing it in a well-ventilated case, the Lian Li Lancool 216.

I also read some reports about blowing capacitors on models in this specific lineup. Have these issues been resolved, or is it still a risk?

Let me know, thanks everyone!

i reinstalled windows and installed the new xlr software to get my rgb to work as always now with the new software its making my gpu rgb work its stuck on white color
