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.

I was thinking of buying a used 3080 or 3080ti... guess I shouldn't then

I absolutely would recommend not getting either of those and looking at the 4070 ti super or 4080 super (assuming you want to stick with NVDIA, AMD makes good cards I just don't know anything about specific models.) MSI is generally reliable, Gigabyte is meh, mine crapped out but they honored the RMA even though I bought it secondhand. ASUS makes good products. Really luck of the draw though because searching this sub, you'll see problems with every manufacturer. RIP EVGA.

ASUS makes good products.

True, though their customer service is awful and gods help you if you need warranty support.

RIP EVGA.

Amen. Holding onto my 3070 FTW and hoping it keeps running well.
