Is this product already available in Canadian stores? Can't find it anywhere. 🤦‍♂️
ivandagiant@reddit
I've been looking, don't think they exist. Probably got hit hard my the memory shortage and decided not to make them anymore
halfrmk5@reddit
Yeah, same here, Canada Computers also don't have any. Looking for the Slim RTX 5060TI only for a small build, but nothing.
FriendlyGhosT_T@reddit
Should be coming out on march 30th
Healthy_Language_404@reddit
Yeah this sucks , they could've atleast been honest about the release date its been two months and still no word on these at all
SuperBot1000@reddit
Still not seen these for sale online
Healthy_Language_404@reddit
When is it coming out ive waited all month lol
Neither_Scar_8012@reddit
Same here. Thinking about doing a Velka 7 build with the 5070ti

PNY is a shit company.

DIYers that like to mod hardware might be aware of the Morpheus aftermarket GPU cooler.
By chance anyone test that on the newer GPUs?
kikimaru024@reddit
Morpheus made any card into a 3-4 slot behemoth.
XCVGVCX@reddit
It's still wild to me that a dual-slot, overheight card is now called "slim". I still remember when all but the highest end cards only took up a single slot, and tall cards were exclusively the domain of ultra-premium and extreme overclocking.
kikimaru024@reddit
OK, let's get you to bed, grampa.
Swoly_Deadlift@reddit
Single-slot cards have kind of died since most PC cases can accommodate a dual-slot GPU. The absolute smallest GPUs you'll find these days are low-profile cards which still are dual-slot.
Not really a huge loss there since the extra heatsink surface area keeps noise levels way lower than a single-slot card.

Would be nice seeing more cards use 120mm fans and especially if they're replaceable.
GenZia@reddit
That would indeed be nice.
I'm already running my 4070S with dual Lian Li P28s (poor man's Phantek T30s) zip tied on the card.
Not the most elegant looking solution, I admit, but I prefer function over form and the fact is that deshrouding shaved off 10-12c compared to stock 90ish mil fans (~75c vs. high 50s) and the setup is now basically inaudible.
Even before that, I cooled my ol' Polaris with a chonky, 38mm thick Delta that pushed a ton of static pressure and ran at 4,000 RPM peak (I used a custom controller to tame it to 1,100ish RPM).
But I digress.

I've never understood why it has taken so long for GPU cooling solutions to adopt better solutions. CPU coolers are so much better in comparison. Granted you have space constraints but what we have now is so much worse than DIY jury rigged solutions.

120mm width cards also similarly too big for a bunch of cases. I'm not quite sure their 12vhpwr socket is set deep enough if your case limit is around 165mm, other wise you might run into even more issues with that cable.
I'm assuming PNY has thought of this though and the reason why only the 5070 is considered SFF-ready among the three.
While I'm sure putting a bunch of 120mm fans would be better on my card, my 5070Ti already runs at 66C playing PT Cyberpunk at 25C ambient where I currently live and runs at minimum fan speeds as well, so the current modern compromise isn't exactly bad either.
I don't exactly disagree with the notion that we should just be able to put any kind of fan that we want on the gpu cooler though.
kuddlesworth9419@reddit
I mean a Lian Li A3 can fit a full sized tower heatsink. There are smaller cases for sure but it's expected that space constraints are a problem there already.
I think my bigger problem is longevity. Once the GPU fan dies it's a pain to replace it at the moment. If you could just stick in any 120mm fan that would be nice.
-WingsForLife-@reddit
Yeah, there are a bunch of cases where you can fit a current high end gpu but the cables are awkwardly bent against the side panel, even counting ones that fit a D15.
kuddlesworth9419@reddit
It always made more sense to me to put the power connectors on the end of the car instead of the top. Generally there is normally room at the end of the car but not the top. It would probably help the 12whp connector somewhat as well.
-WingsForLife-@reddit
Sapphire did that with their Nitro+ models for current gen, it's a good solution as well.
-WingsForLife-@reddit
My case fits a D15S and the 12VHPWR is near the don't curve at 35mm limit.
Plank_With_A_Nail_In@reddit
Most GPU fans are replacable and some use pretty easy to source fans. I fitted replacement fans on two Zotac cards an bought the fans from ebay.
goldcakes@reddit (OP)
I don’t remember the last GPU that didn’t have reasonably easy to replace fans to be honest, I feel like most AIBs are good with it. It streamlines their own RMA too.
kizvy@reddit
I like pny gpus, been running their normal 5070ti and a friend of mine runs a 5060ti of theirs. Imo though, bigger, gpus are the way to go instead of shrinking. just allows for much more cooling headroom
IdRatherBeNorth@reddit
You’re not the target audience for this.
SFF builders like myself are. I have a Lian Li A4 H20, so other than FE cards, not many options. We always welcome more of these.
inyue@reddit
5070ti are already a downgrade from the 4070ti that used the same beef cooling system used on the 4090.
WildberrySelect_224@reddit
But then, 5070ti TDP increased by 15 Watts while 5090 TDP increased by 125 Watts, so I think it's reasonable that they don't use the same cooler anymore. PNY still puts a beefier 3-slot cooler on the TI and thinner one on the non-Ti, while many other brands reuse the same 2-slot design for both cards.
xgiovio@reddit
Even msi and asus failed to make a 2 slot aio 5090. The only reason i won’t buy 🙂‍↔️
Cory123125@reddit
These look so plain and simple.
That's not a criticism btw, just an observation.
My previous/backup card is kinda similar from ASUS.
I don't mind me sleek "just does the thing" aesthetics at all.
I would question the heating problem, but given that somehow 5090FEs aren't spontaneously combusting..... excluding the cables at least.... I rechon that these cards, sucking a lot less power might be manageable, albeit notably louder, especially since my casual observations are that PNY's generic heat pipe affairs are just sorta low to middle of the road in terms of performance vs others.
RedTuesdayMusic@reddit
Taller than the PCIe bracket, so not useful to me. Better to make cards longer
imaginary_num6er@reddit
PNY is the only brand Nvidia allows to have the GPU die name listed on the GPU shroud.
Asgardisalie@reddit
False, it's a choice, most AIB would rather put their model name. Simple as that.
Asgardisalie@reddit
False, look at Asus Prime line, AX Gaming, Gainward Wind line, Gigabyte Eagle, Aorus and Windforce line, Inno3D x2 and x3 line, Manli Nebula, Maxsun iCraft, almost every single card that MSI produce, same for Zotac.
1mVeryH4ppy@reddit
Is that the case tho? Maybe nvidia mandates "geforce rtx" branding with model number being optional. And most AIBs simply do without the model number for a cleaner look?
omega552003@reddit
Like recently? Because I have older cards from evga and MSI that have the model number on the shroud.
goldcakes@reddit (OP)
Since RTX/Turing I believe. I haven’t seen anything that’s not “GEFORCE RTX” until GP pointed it out.
goldcakes@reddit (OP)
That’s interesting, yeah their existing products do didplay the GPU product name instead of just “GEFORCE RTX” as I’ve seen with every other partner card.
I imagine it might come from PNY fabbing NVIDIA’s own workstation and pro cards for a long time, so close relationship.
