00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.400
NVIDIA just announced their new RTX 5090

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.120
but as cool as the founders Edition card looks realistically that's not the one

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:12.960
that most people are going to end up with which got us thinking what better

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:17.480
place to collect all the Pokémon than here at CES so we task our team with

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:23.599
tracking down every possible variant of the RTX 590 to show you guys some of

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.199
these wild designs and we tracked down

00:00:23.599 --> 00:00:30.439
our sponsor Wicked Christians do your ears a favor and replace your worn out

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.960
old headphone pads with a new set from Wicked cushions you are just 5 minutes

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.879
away from that new headphone feeling pick the perfect styl and material using

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:44.320
our Link in the video description here in asus's Booth we Tracked Down the Rog

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:48.680
astral 590 and if NVIDIA's concept for their Founders Edition was to go as

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:53.559
Compact and small as possible Asis decided to go completely the other

00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:57.120
direction with it this is a 3.8 slot

00:00:53.559 --> 00:01:00.000
design it is flipping huge flipping

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:05.199
heavy but makes very good use of that space and weight this is according to

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:07.720
them their first four fan design that's

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:12.439
right two fans blowing directly down onto the board area here a third fan on

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:17.200
the front that blows straight through and a fourth fan that is assisting that

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:21.159
third fan so you can see they actually increased the thin density of the cooler

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.439
over here in order to take advantage of that greater static pressure in order to

00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:28.759
move the heat off of this massive blackw

00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:32.479
die they're using a Custom Vapor chamber that actually has grooves in it that

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.920
heat pipes are embedded into for greater surface area to pull all the heat over

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:41.320
to the end of the card here and then there's Zotac who's launching three

00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:45.399
versions of the RTX 590 their top dog amp extreme infinity and then the solid

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.680
and solid OC which are basically the same card one's overclock the other one

00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.439
isn't from what the Reps have told me all three cards are pretty similar

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:55.240
feature-wise there are some structural differences and whatnot so I'm going to

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:00.200
focus on the amp extreme infinity and I'll tell you what the differences are in the solid at the end in terms of

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:04.159
looks Zotac definitely seems seems to be going for a more understated Vibe on

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.959
these cards I mean compared to the last generation with the crazy RGB like wave

00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:14.319
thing it's a lot more simple a lot more streamlined uh aside from the end which

00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:18.319
has an infinity mirror there's an RGB ring inside of the mirror which causes

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:22.360
that cool infinity mirror effect and then a RGB strip along the top of the

00:02:20.519 --> 00:02:25.959
car along with the logo that lights up all of the lighting is individually

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:28.879
controllable with their software or if you don't want to run another piece of

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:33.000
software they've actually included what they're calling spect link which is an

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.360
RGB header that you can connect to your motherboard I just don't know why they

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:41.959
put it on the top of the card it probably wouldn't have been my

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.879
first choice but that's where it is now since we're in this region we can kind

00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:51.000
of talk about the other stuff over here there's a little button which is your BIOS switch to switch between the max

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:55.080
performance and quieter operation modes they didn't give me any specs as to if

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.800
that changes the clock speeds but I assume it probably limits the boost a

00:02:57.239 --> 00:03:02.599
little bit lowers the fan speeds a little bit to keep it quiet and then we

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.120
have the power connector which there is some updates here compared to their last

00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:09.519
generation they actually flipped the connector like some of the other aib

00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.920
partners so that it's a lot easier to take in and out and they also added an

00:03:11.720 --> 00:03:17.000
LED indicator that tells you whether or not the connector is plugged in all the

00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:20.920
way and if it detects that it's not plugged in all the way it apparently

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:24.879
will cut power at this port and prevent it from connecting so that you don't

00:03:22.959 --> 00:03:28.560
cause a fire overall it seems like a pretty nice looking and very

00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:32.840
structurally sound cart don't worry this is a dummy I can't actually break it it

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.799
doesn't even work apparently they added a new reinforcement plate on the inside

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:40.879
to increase the rigidity and uh it seems

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:44.879
seems to work now we can talk cooling all three cards are featuring the same

00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:49.760
ice storm 3.0 cooler design which has a 34% larger Vapor chamber than last

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:54.159
generation according to Zotac they also have a new style of fan that has each

00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:57.599
blade interconnected on the outside edge if you can see that which supposedly

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.680
makes them stronger and last longer and they're all individually controllable

00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.400
now which is an upgrade from the last generation what are you going to do with

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:09.040
that I don't know but if you want this fan to be like 1100 RPM and this one to

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:12.560
be 1,000 and this one to be 900 you can do that like last generation they still

00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.079
have a zero RPM mode so when the card's not doing anything the fans will just

00:04:13.959 --> 00:04:20.280
completely shut off and it is still a pass through cooler design on the end so

00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:24.160
the PCB of the card actually ends like here and then this is a fan that

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:27.600
literally just blows straight through you can see the fins inside there

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.120
actually I can see you wow and since we're on this side I should probably

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:34.919
mention these cards are are actually shorter than the previous generation by

00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:39.199
about an inch so probably about that much shorter uh kind of in line with

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:44.680
NVIDIA's reference design but they are still thick it is a three plus slot card

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:49.800
design they don't have an exact spec for 3.2 or whatever but it kind of looks

00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:54.560
like around that and the amp extreme Infinity is ever so slightly thicker

00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:59.919
than the solid card we're talking like a quarter or an eighth of an inch here it's nothing crazy now in terms of other

00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.120
things they don't know yet they don't have Boost clock speeds for me they

00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:06.639
don't have weight for me and I can't weigh this one because if you can see

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:10.960
here it's missing all the electronics there's no GPU even in here so we're

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:15.440
just going to have to wait and find out as for what comes in the box they're including a metal support stand with any

00:05:13.880 --> 00:05:19.759
of their triple fan cards so that means any of their 509s they also include the

00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:23.960
Spectra Link cable so you can connect it to your motherboard and it'll come of

00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:28.600
course with a 12volt high power to 4 8 Pin adapter and then there's the solid

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:34.000
and solid OC which for seemingly most intense and purposes is almost the exact

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:37.680
same card it's got the same fans it's got the same coolers it's got RGB

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.800
although a little bit more basic still has a BIOS switch still has the fancy

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:46.080
power connector still has the spectral link motherboard connector it's

00:05:43.479 --> 00:05:50.319
physically very similar Dimensions it happens to use up a tiny bit less slot

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.520
space like you're talking maybe a quarter of an eighth of an inch but to

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:59.120
be honest I think the design on this one is more my style even though it's a

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:03.520
little bit costed down like a more Basic Metal back plate instead of the fancy

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:08.560
CNC machined one on the infinity edge it's more understated it's clean has

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.440
less gimmicks which is kind of my vibe and on all three cards you can expect a

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:17.160
warranty of 3 years just like the previous generation and just like pretty much every NVIDIA card and that's zot

00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:20.800
they have their entire RTX 50 Series lineup in all three skew so check them

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.440
out or maybe check out the next card but maybe you're feeling a little bit more

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.199
lucky and that's where msi's new Vanguard comes in if you get the launch

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:32.919
edition of their 50 Series Vanguard cards you can get one of their little

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:37.599
lies right here and they are very funl looking my personal favorites are the

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:44.639
little lucky with some boba or the beer lucky both absolutely fantastic but wait

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:47.000
what the heck is a Vanguard card let's

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:51.080
look at it let's take a look at msi's lineup of gpus here their absolute most

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:57.039
balls ofth wall one is the Supreme liquid OC this guy right here has a

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:01.199
really cool really massive copper plate on the bottom big old impingement jet

00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:06.960
that gets both your GPU and all of your vrms in one stepping down by one we have

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:12.240
the Supreme right here but the aircooled version still absolutely massive sort of

00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:16.840
thing that makes your PCIe slots say lay ouch moving on the Vanguard has just

00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:21.120
been stolen what a dick but that is basically your supreme overclocked but a

00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:27.199
little bit more gamer esque with loads of RGB moving on to the gaming Trio this

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:30.120
is more of like your very standard card you can expect slightly higher

00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:35.000
temperatures than Supreme in the Vanguard but it still is going to be

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:38.879
pretty reasonable of course if you want white that is an option in the 50 Series

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.879
although if you're looking for something a little bit more professional there's

00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:50.639
the venti that's lower end one of course with the 59 hitting

00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:55.440
570 wat the coolers are quite big on the

00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.599
liquid version of it it is now a 360 mm

00:07:55.440 --> 00:08:03.919
just for your GPU which means that your cases might have to also bon in size

00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:08.919
moving over we can look at the 590 Supreme and this right here is

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:14.800
absolutely massive inside of this there are 11 heat pipes and just you could

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:22.960
work out with this thing we don't have the scale here but like this is actual

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:25.599
metal all aluminum it is an obscenely

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:29.159
heavy card now they do have different versions of this that will be coming but

00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:35.640
sadly they don't have them here but we will have a 4fan and a five fan version

00:08:32.599 --> 00:08:37.320
of this that look super cool it's a bit

00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:41.959
of a Choose Your Own Adventure depending on the exact dimensions of your case and

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:45.760
on to the next purse next up is gigabyte and they've got four variants of the

00:08:43.599 --> 00:08:49.240
5090 and we're going to go through all of them really quickly but I'm going to

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:54.839
focus on only one of them but first up we've got the gaming OC with their RGB

00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:58.279
sheath so you can turn it on and off if you want with the flick of a well not

00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:02.120
the flick of a switch but the slide of a sheath the next too that I can't

00:09:00.040 --> 00:09:08.240
interact too much cuz they're bolted to the stand is the new 590 extreme water

00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:13.279
Force water block looks pretty sick that's for you water cooling

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:15.040
enthusiasts not for me but for someone

00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:20.320
who doesn't want to water cool a loop but you do like aiio in your system

00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:25.800
we've got the 590 extreme water Force 32G no WB no water block this one is

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:29.480
going to fit right into your system no issues you just install it like you

00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:33.320
would a normal graphics card and then B the radiator to somewhere in your case

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:37.360
that it's going to fit I hope you've got a case that's big enough to fit a 360

00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:43.399
mil rad because that's how big it is and last but not least the 90 Master this is

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:47.040
their Halo tier Flagship product and it is huge I went all the way to the studio

00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.800
on Saturday morning to pick up the scale that Andrew forgot because we were going

00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:55.959
to weigh these cards and guess what no one else has so by gosh you know I have

00:09:53.399 --> 00:10:01.279
to do it it's weighing in at a whopping 5.79 lb we don't have a bunch of specs

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:08.720
like price warranty information or even length but it's longer than my forearm

00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:12.560
as for looks it is absolutely beautiful we've got this really nice shiny front

00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:17.760
everything else is pretty much all blacked out and then for any of you non-vertical mounting folk it's going to

00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:22.320
have a bunch of RGB on the front of the card the cooling solution looks

00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:27.360
absolutely monstrous so even though it's pulling 575 WTS and the Fe version is

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:31.440
Tiny who knows what that's going to heat up to this thing is almost definitely

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:34.800
going to stay cool no matter what you're putting it through not only is it going

00:10:33.040 --> 00:10:38.839
to come with a dual boot mode so you can switch it to gaming or silent but it's

00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:43.639
also going to come with a GPU brace so that even with all of this heft you'll

00:10:41.880 --> 00:10:47.560
be supported it's not just going to fall out of those slots you're good to go

00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:52.680
their data card here also says that this should be RGB on the metal back plate so

00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:57.480
it's going to look real nice in your case and you're not going to have to

00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:59.800
spring for some fancy extra RGB GPU back

00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:03.880
plate back to you lonus the 5090 Founders Edition is just a feet of

00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:09.120
engineering through and through this is the entire main PCB and I do mean main

00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:12.760
because there is two more of them you might be wondering why that's because

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:17.480
this sits in the middle of the card and as we'll see in a moment there is dual

00:11:14.800 --> 00:11:23.839
flow through fans on each side of it on the back side of this incredibly dense

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.279
and surprisingly like heavy PCB is two

00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:31.880
plugs right here and right here those are for the extenders that go out to

00:11:28.680 --> 00:11:34.959
your PC I express and your I/O on the

00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:38.160
end I'm going to trade you the card now

00:11:34.959 --> 00:11:40.360
so as you can see the actual PCB is just

00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:43.279
in the middle here which means it shouldn't be able to go all the way

00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.120
across to your PCI Express and it shouldn't be able to reach to your IO so

00:11:44.760 --> 00:11:50.200
they have to extend those with additional small pcbs it'll make water

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.600
cooling a little bit complicated but it will also make it so that your water

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:58.959
cooled version of this card will be really really small the coolest part for

00:11:56.760 --> 00:12:02.399
the actual just air cooled ver version though is those dual flowthrough fans

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:06.000
I'm hoping you can see that on the camera right now it flows through on

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:10.639
this side and it flows through on this side the Dual flowthrough fans push air

00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:17.399
through the 3D Vapor chamber on each side of the PCB and there's vents on the

00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:19.440
side that angle air up so that the hot

00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:23.639
air coming out the back of the card ideally doesn't recirculate back to the

00:12:21.839 --> 00:12:28.800
intake as well man they thought of freaking everything and I mean it these

00:12:26.160 --> 00:12:33.480
fins are concaved so they can try to equal out the pressure generated from

00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:38.440
the fans like this is this is honestly one of the coolest coolers that I've

00:12:35.880 --> 00:12:43.880
ever personally seen I love this thing and it's not even that big I mean it's

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.880
not small but compared to a 4090 it it it barely even exists you could fit this

00:12:46.199 --> 00:12:55.800
into a small form factor PC its actual dimensions height 137 mm length 304 mm

00:12:53.560 --> 00:13:00.360
you can fit this in a lot of things it's a lot more Dynamic than the Behemoth of

00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:05.440
the 490 that we had in the past and honestly I'm stoked it also features by

00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:08.959
default an angled power connector which might help you with cable routing if

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:14.920
that cable was running a little bit too close to your case side panel in terms

00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:20.160
of IO you've got three DisplayPort 2.1b

00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:22.440
uh hbr 20s and one HDMI 2.1b they

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:26.800
they're they're both 2.1b I I didn't screw that up they're actually both 2.1b

00:13:25.079 --> 00:13:32.000
wow I don't know if I was expecting all of the designs to be that different but

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:37.760
what I was expecting was this segue to our sponsor Wicked cushions what's that

00:13:34.920 --> 00:13:41.120
your headphones are fine really I mean they're getting that flaky black stuff

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:45.279
all over the place so get your headphones looking and feeling new with

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:49.240
Wicked Christian's replacement earpads you can even toss their dual layer gel

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:53.079
infused pads in the fridge for a couple of minutes for extra cooling action

00:13:51.199 --> 00:13:57.079
during an intense session and you can pick for more than a dozen cool looks in

00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:00.759
just 5 minutes you're going to wonder why you waited so long to be flake free

00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:06.160
check out the link in the video description to see which Wicked Christians are right for you and that's

00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:10.199
it that's everything we've managed to track down this year at CES 2025 and if

00:14:08.839 --> 00:14:14.120
you like this make sure to stay tuned because we're going to have a ton of 90

00:14:11.880 --> 00:14:17.920
content coming out later this year whether it's gigabyte or anyone else

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.320
we're going to show off the graphics cards
