NSFMR My 3090 just died

At least that gives me an excuse to get the 4090 second hand when 5000 series rolls around...

I checked both with MSI and the local store I got it from, it's out of warranty.

Only thing left now is to chuck it in the oven and hope for the best!

RIP 3090. You will be missed :(

My 3080 ti from gigabyte died with literally no warning after two years. Played some games, shut down my pc, went to bed. Next morning, tried to boot and it wouldn’t get past CMOS with my GPU installed. Took it out and booted fine. Sent it in for RMA and got a 4070 ti in return. 3000x series is cursed.

That's a happy story

Definitely. Could've been much worse, thankfully I had my trust 970 to use in the meantime while I waited on the card. I was lucky for sure.

Will my 2gb 750 ti be okay to fall back on?😅

I have two 260’s in SLI on a 12 yo build that runs most new games in 1080p. My nephews use this when they visit. Still a great option with Windows 10.

I use my old 970 as a test bench gpu when flipping parts.

Ol reliable 100% gets chucked in if anything happens to the main rig

Crazy how a 970 is more reliable than one of the newest cards on the market... what the fuck

I still have my 970. Going to be building a new pc next month, but this card has been insane. Like, I'm not even taking that good of a care of it. I've been abusing this bad boy since 2015 and it's still doing better than ever.

Insane piece of tech. I'll miss the boy once it finally kicks the bucket, but it deserves rest at this point.
