Imagine paying $2K for a GPU and this shit happens
Scalpers have turned that into $6000 for the available units left.
I doubt they got them for 2k
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.
I'm sure replacement units are in plentiful supply. Right?
Guess we'll have to see how they handle this. Are they going to be good and do a full recall, or pull an Intel and do everything they can to avoid it?
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.
I am going to guess the amount made is also much higher than 90s and 2000s since hardware tech is way more popular and used in way more places in the world. So maybe a lower percent but just a high total amount.
But I have no idea..
Yup. This nonsense (pcie-5 burnout) should have been detected immediately during quality control.
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.
