Mind you such modifications are semi permanent and risk voiding warranty.

Interestingly now just RM 200 distro scalper fee above this model MSRP and its available ala carte

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Planned obsolescence

May i know
COLORFUL GEFORCE RTX5070TI BATTLE AX 16GB GDDR7 GPU GRAPHIC CARD sell for RM3.8k is a good buy??
and

COLORFUL IGAME GEFORCE RTX 5070 ULTRA W OC 12GB GDDR7 GPU
around RM2.8K
How's the reputation and quality compare to other 3 big branding??
What 1000W or 850W PSU recommended to pair with this 2 model? Budget around RM500

Can i use my existing PSU Cooler master Gold MWE V2 850W with the cable from Cooler master 12VHPWR Adapter Cable
Or Suggest to change new PSU with native socket to 16pin?
12VHPWR Cooler Master
Thank you.

The more you buy the more you save wat! Sez Jensen.
So the point is if your not buying every 3.1 years (when warranty just over) Nvidia will MAKE you buy a new Geforce GPU anyhow.

From somewhere else "COLORFUL GEFORCE RTX 5070 Ti NB EX 16GB-V - RM 4059.00"

So yeah RM 3.8k is good deal.

As for this AIB, its China AIB vs the Big 3 is Taiwan AIB, so Taiwan brands sure more reputable. However Colorful is one of the most solid of China makers and their Vulcan & Neptune overkill lineup can fight with Strix/Astral or Suprim/Waterforce overpriced whales.

Colorful version very much closer to Malaysian MSRP at RM5449:

Only drawback is you need a casing that supports 35cm in length.

I went for the Palit 5080 [32cm in length] as it's the one that fits my HAF922 [maxes out at 34cm].
On a related note, shipping from BrightStar is freakin fast. Arrived within the next day.

IINM Brightstar is also distro as well as reseller deswai they have stock to ship out immediately after a sale...

Indicative local pricing for 5060TIs MSRP models (ignore the OOS)

Imho MSRP pricing isnt bad actually (when available non scalped) if consider that 5070 is nearly RM 1k above the 16GB version Orz

1) Are you upgrading from old gpu or a new build ?
2) 5070TI will always outperformed 5070 ( you can check the reviews on the internet) , if you want to get critical about it , its the matters of cost per frame. Sure you can lose some FPS in 5070 but you get more per frame rather than 5070TI . RM1K differences is huge.
3) If I have the money , i would personally buy the 5070TI for more performance and the 16GB.

yeah, for a entry card, it have a good retail price and perfect for new entry build.

sien expedition 33 releasing today and my asus monitor decised to kaput. have to play the game on cheapo 24" monitor while waiting for warranty...

Where did you got the COLORFUL GEFORCE RTX5070TI BATTLE AX ?

Well, I am getting RTX 5090 AMP Extreme INFINITY then......the price kinda high though....RM12800...

Thanks for the information.

Now then....if only Dotatech replies me back on my questions......

Another thing you might want to be aware of -- Zotac 50 series power connectors are gold plated, which carries the risk of galvanic corrosion when mated to tin-plated 12V-2x6 connectors according to the references here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1j...omment/mg0e1bq/
https://www.molex.com/en-us/blog/gold-or-tin-vs-gold-and-tin

So, if this is something you want to take seriously, you should get a PSU with gold-plated 12V-2x6 connectors like Lian Li Edge Gold/Lian Li Edge.

Uh oh....now that might be a problem.........

Insufficient fund for new PSU.
Currently using Hydro G PRO ATX3.0(PCIe5.0) 1000W PSU.
