Good thing I bought a 7900 XTX a few months ago
I desperately wanted one of those a couple years ago, but no dice. It was largely a paper launch in Canada. Still don’t see them very often either.
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
The front fell off.
Nothing about these cards catching on fire is surprising.
Alas, the only thing I can think of at this point when someone mentions nVidia:
Buildzoid reckons it’s a blown power stage rather than a capacitor as claimed in the article.
Hot damn am I glad that I got a reliable 4080 Super last year. Looks like I’ll be hanging onto it for quite some time.
My 7800 XT is also a true hero, enabling 4k with raytracing in a lot of games and actually running with my old 500W PSU
You should anyway. Upgrading every generation is a huge waste of money.
You’re not safe. Regularly inspect your gear.
NVIDIA has done an amazing job at minimizing my FOMO for this generation of cards. Proper anti-consumerism stuff, you gotta respect it.
