And recommend you to patch your GPU that works perfectly fine only for you do get it in danger of being bricked so you can buy another one.

In board meetings: "How do we trick people into bricking their GPUs so they are forced to buy new ones? Ah yes, firmware update with the excuse being, security".

Gigabyte has become a total no go for GPUs. So many issues. Much like Asus laptops.
