Reports of Bricked NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5090D Surge

The stupidly minor marginal gains you'd get from one of these cards vs a four series, isn't even worth the time it would take to crack your case, let alone 6 grand. Worlds lost it's god damn mind.

I'm still using a VIC-II without any lag or drop in FPS

2070s here, doesn't work that well with AAA (or even AAAA games! /s) that well with 3440x1440 resolution :S. But I can easily survive turning the graphics down.

For real. I've been rocking a 1070 for years and the only games that don't get decent performance are new release open world survival sandbox titles that tend to suffer from a lack of optimization anyway.

Running a 1060 in my desktop. Still does absolutely fine. I got my buddy's old 1080ti OCd, just waiting to get the water-cooling kit put together and the 1060 will get put in my media sever to take over transcoding for the old 980.

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..

Not very many people had a dedicated GPU in the 90s and 2000s. And there's no way the failure rate was higher, not even Limewire could melt down the family PC back then. It sure gave it the college try, but it was usually fixable. The biggest failures, bar none, were HD or media drives.
