Imagine paying $2K for a GPU and this shit happens
Closer to 2500 for most models
nvidia has been a garbage company for a few generations now. They got to the top, and sat up there enshitifying everything because they have a monopoly on the market. Don’t buy into this shit.
If you got hardware, use it until it dies…
Fucking 1070 can still put out decent performance lol
2070s here, doesn’t work that well with AAA (or even AAAA games! /s) that well with 3440x1440 resolution :S. But I can easily survive turning the graphics down.
3440x1440
Suffering from Success 🐸
Haha not so successful when your fps is total garbage

Okay so the “S” models stood for “Super” which was a slight step up from the base. What are “D” models? “Duper”?
China exclusive models, labeled as such to get around regulations.
It feels like things are so powerful and complex that failure rates of all these devices is much higher now.
I don’t have any stats to back this up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if failure rates were higher back in the 90s and 2000s.
We have much more sophisticated validation technologies and the benefit of industry, process and operational maturity.
Would be interesting to actually analyze the real world dynamics around this.
Not very many people had a dedicated GPU in the 90s and 2000s. And there’s no way the failure rate was higher, not even Limewire could melt down the family PC back then. It sure gave it the college try, but it was usually fixable. The biggest failures, bar none, were HD or media drives.
We all did they used to cost like 60 bucks
