    News User claims RTX 4090 16-pin power connector melted on both GPU and PSU side, despite running at 75% power

    Definitely don't trust random sources, but do remember that goes both ways. Just because a source is suddenly anti-big company, doesn't make it trust worthy. While there are some cases your fears are quite founded, Nvidia has traditionally not been one of them. ( BTW sites like tom'sHardware...

    News User claims RTX 4090 16-pin power connector melted on both GPU and PSU side, despite running at 75% power

    That seems to be more of a manufacturing issue, because many do give a good click. But, yes, that is 1 of the areas that has been noted for improvement. It was actually reported by Nvidia themselves that every one they had received had physical evidence that it was not properly inserted. ( Then...

    News User claims RTX 4090 16-pin power connector melted on both GPU and PSU side, despite running at 75% power

    News User claims RTX 4090 16-pin power connector melted on both GPU and PSU side, despite running at 75% power

    "there hasn't been any closure on the meltdowns." Well, there kind of has been. To date, there has been only 1 cause found, and it has affected every single one of the melted cables looked at. I know, har-har, not plugged in... but that's just the simple truth. Time and time again, people just...

    News Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Needs 213GB on PC With HQ Textures

    A number of misconceptions are unfortunately going around, including this article. First, the number listed is the download, not install size. All in it's 166GB right now. Second, that is not for MW3, but rather it is for 3 games: Warzone, MW2 and MW3 combined. At ~55GB per game, that's...
