    Question GPU works on one system but not on the other ?

    I am now wondering if the issue is due to this being an EVGA X58 motherboard, like the issue modern EVGA motherboards are having with RTX 50 series cards ?

    Question GPU works on one system but not on the other ?

    Because it's fun to see what it can still do; pretty impressive how playable it has proven with my RTX 3080Ti/4080 Super and RX 7900XT; especially @4K.

    Question GPU works on one system but not on the other ?

    Getting ready to refund this Gigabyte Gaming GeForce RTX 5090 GPU as I cannot get it to boot with my i7 920/EVGA X58 SLI LE LGA 1366 motherboard with an EVGA 1300W G3 Gold PSU. My othe GPUs such as the XFX RX 7900XT MERC310, PNY RTX 4080 Super, EVGA RTX 3080Ti FTW3, Asus RTX 3080 TUFF, RTX...

    Review Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super review: Slightly faster than the 4080, but $200 cheaper

    Thanks for another great analysis Mr. Walton; I think I will end up grabbing one due to my horrific experience with AMD drivers with two identical RX 7900XT MERC310 cards from XFX; both cards had serious power compatibility issues with multiple motherboards and also would often refuse to...

    Review Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO Review: This isn’t a competition. This is a massacre.
