A user reported that his ASUS ROG ASTRAL RTX 5090 GPU caught fire while he was browsing, with GPU PCB showing burnt signs.
NVIDIA has done an amazing job at minimizing my FOMO for this generation of cards. Proper anti-consumerism stuff, you gotta respect it.
Alas, the only thing I can think of at this point when someone mentions nVidia:
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
The front fell off.
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.
You should anyway. Upgrading every generation is a huge waste of money.
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're not safe. Regularly inspect your gear.
Nothing about these cards catching on fire is surprising.
Buildzoid reckons it’s a blown power stage rather than a capacitor as claimed in the article.
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.
