NVIDIA has done an amazing job at minimizing my FOMO for this generation of cards. Proper anti-consumerism stuff, you gotta respect it.
Good thing I bought a 7900 XTX a few months ago
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.

Buildzoid reckons it’s a blown power stage rather than a capacitor as claimed in the article.
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
