The more I probe the 3090 the more confused and horrified I am by the absolutely abomination that is the Vcore VRM. At this point I'm not surprised by 3090s dying I'm surprised by them being able to turn on in the first place.

My rules of thumb for why hardware dies: GPUs die all the time for no reason. High end GPUs more so. Motherboards also diefor no reason just less often CPUs do not die unless attacked by a motherboard RAM doesn't die unless physically abused

I really don't care what Nvidia calls their GPUs as long as the performance per dollar makes sense and the naming isn't misleading. Having 2 very different 4080s is a problem. A 900USD 4070 or 4060 is fine as long as it's significantly faster than a 3080/6900XT

Running out of VRAM causes stuttering because even PCI-e 4.0 x16 only has ~32GB/s of bandwidth. The VRAM on an RTX 3050 has ~200GB/s. The RTX 4070Ti has 500GB/s of memory bandwidth. If whatever the GPU is trying to render isn't in the VRAM it's gonna take forever.

AFAIK this card is actually smaller than most 4090s. Yet it somehow manages to fit 4 8pins. Meanwhile Nvidia had to come up with a new shittier power connector because 4x8 pins would be too "ugly" or something.

Ryzen 7000X3D might be even more of a performance jump than 5000X3D because the infinity fabric on 7000 is kinda awful. Also because the 4090 is way faster than the 3090.

DLSS is a stupid name for upscaling. Super sampling AFAIK is the act of using more samples per pixel not fewer samples per pixel. Which is why 2x SSAA is just rendering at 4x resolution and then downscaling. DLSS is the oposite. Render at low res and use ML to upscale
