nVidia 5000 Series GPU Rumored To Offer Biggest Performance Leap In History
- Thread starter TeKPhaN
- Start date
I was playing PC games this afternoon, and when I was done with the games, my PC suddenly shut down while I was browsing websites. When I restarted the PC, the GPU caught on fire, and smoke started coming out. When I took out the GPU, I saw burn marks on both the GPU and the motherboard.
Judging from the pictures, we can see that a single MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) is severely burned, which was possibly the source of this fire. The good news is that we don’t have to speculate about what caused the fire, and the problem won’t be swept under the rug. Gamers Nexus Steve has already offered to buy the card and cover the full cost, without involving any RMA.
Blackwell is the biggest flop I've ever seen in the computer graphics space, both value and performance wise. I thank Nvidia for allowing me to save 2000 dollars this generation.
I knew it. I called it. But, I am sure they are going to charge more for the Vram and whatever performance increase there is for the "Super".
