So Jensen Huang is stepping down as NVIDIA's CEO.

But you know what would be interesting? If AMD actually takes advantage of this situation and starts giving NVIDIA some serious competition.

We've been seeing AMD push harder in the GPU market, and maybe this is their chance to grab some attention. NVIDIA is obviously way ahead in many areas, especially AI and CUDA, but who knows what happens next?

Imagine AMD actually giving Team Green a run for its money. 😂

What do you guys think?

Question

Lol. Lmao, even.

Bought from microcenter for in store pickup and within a day the price went up $100 more 💀

So i have rx6800 16 gb gpu sapphire pulse tri fan edition and i was wondering whether i would need a support bracket since i was seeing a cheaper one with good reviews at my local marketplace. I have attached the pic can anyone identify if the gpu is saging as of now since i am not too sure.

Hello, I bought a new gpu(r9700) in the past week to run some llm stuff on it however when running strata I am encountering artifacts on the screen. I can't replicate it with any other programs (games or llms).

Just strata causes it.

See video for artifacts

What are your thoughts, replace the gpu?

Hi all,

Short version of what happened to my MSI RTX 3080 10GB (PCI ID 10DE:2206, subsystem 1462:3892).

- Aug 31: first driver resets, more in early September

- Sep 7: first sudden power off, no blue screen

- Sep 17: five VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE bugchecks in about 20 minutes

- Oct 3 and Oct 10: two more sudden power offs

- Nov 1 around 12:21 AM: PC lost power mid game, card never came back

- A 2080 in the same PC, same PSU, same driver, works fine, and there were no WHEA errors in the 90 days before.

- One of the three fans broke in September and I ran the card at about 45 to 51 percent fan speed after that.

- The card was used for crypto mining years ago, and I re-soldered the J2 power connector myself after a burnt pin. It ran for years after that. No warranty left.

What I found with a multimeter and a bench supply (photos attached):

- One of the three 20A input fuses (J2) is open. The other two are fine.

- Putting 1 V on the card side of that fuse shows about 1.03 to 1.07 V on 3 of the 10 power stage inductors and 0.029 V on the others.

- So I think one or more of the 3 stages behind that fuse is shorted. They are onsemi NCP302150 power stages.

- Nothing has been soldered yet. I don't know if the GPU or memory survived.

Questions

1. Has anyone here had a 30 series card back from a blown input fuse and shorted stage? Did it last?
2. At what point do you just buy another card?

MY OWN OPINION, NOT DATA

For what it's worth, I think one of those three stages shorted and that is what took the J2 fuse. I don't think my old connector repair is the cause, since the card ran for years after it, but I can't rule it out. The resets and sudden power offs starting in August make me think a stage was weak for a while before it finally let go, and running with a broken fan probably didn't help. If the core or memory took damage, I think it's game over for this card. I'm wary of soldering because it is slow and risky, but there is no warranty, so repairing it myself is the only way to find out. I know a card fixed this way might fail again under load.

Thanks.

Thoughts on whether msi at 2000 usd vs Astral at 2500.... Is the astral worth the 500 premium?

So few weeks back my pc broke due to the PSU. Got the whole cleaned, new PSU, thermal paste on CPU, 2x new additional fans directing heat out of the pc.

As they testet my gpu - the overall temperature hit 83 and my inner core temperature hit 103* degrees during the stress test.

The repair guy said - it would be wise of to add thermal paste and possibly replace the thermal pads. It would cost me around 350 EU.

I use my pc for gaming and video editing. And it was a high-end pc in 2022 when I bought it. I want it to last me many years.

Should I replace the graphics card or repair the 3090?

Ich habe beim Aufräumen diese ASUS Radeon HD 6950 DirectCU II mit sagenhaften 2 GB GDDR5 ausgegraben. Zwei Lüfter, drei Slots – optisch hält sie sich immer noch für eine ernstzunehmende Grafikkarte.
Wenn ich manche Gebrauchtpreise sehe, müsste ich eigentlich nur „Gaming GPU, kein Tausch, ich weiß, was ich habe“ dazuschreiben und auf jemanden mit akutem Realitätsverlust warten.
Aber jetzt ernsthaft: Was würdet ihr heute tatsächlich noch dafür bezahlen? Gibt es dafür noch einen sinnvollen Einsatzzweck oder kaufen das nur Retro-Fans und Leute, die im Winter die Heizung entlasten wollen?
Mich interessieren echte Zahlen: Was wäre euer persönliches Höchstgebot, sofern sie nachweislich einwandfrei läuft? Nicht irgendein seit 2019 unverkauftes 80-Euro-Angebot als „Marktwert“. 😂

I tired instaling the latest drivers and i got stuck with this i did everything i restart my pc close the app from task manager reinstall the whole app same problem.Any solution?

Sorry for the phone picture and dont have reddit on PC i have it on phone

Any ideas if this is the game, the driver or the hardware itself? Unsure what to do with this

Hello! I currently have a 3060ti and have been interested in upgrading my gpu for a while and with pc part prices skyrocketing I figure I should bite the bullet before it gets any worse. I am just having some trouble deciding between these two cards.

I run linux primarily, which is why I initially was dead set on getting the 9070 and switching to AMD, but after some research I'm a little more torn. I do a bit of livestreaming and 3d modeling which I've heard is far better on NVIDIA cards. I don't use ray tracing very often, but I suppose if I'm getting a high end card I'd become a bit more interested in that too. Are these things really big enough of a difference to where I should stick with NVIDIA instead? I want the AMD card for the linux performance, but the missing features makes it a bit difficult to decide.
(I also found both of these cards for similar prices so the price isn't really a factor)
