Ultimately, what matters are the delays affecting customer deployments. Whether they're due to minor or major issues is of secondary concern, but a delay is a delay.

Yeah, sure.

Maybe you say "that's still a small percentage given the total sales of 4090's," which is very true, but we also don't know about every case of these failures; moreover, some cause collateral damage to the rest of the system, such as PSU and motherboard failure. It was so bad that a new 12V high power standard was quickly devised -- something that's never been a problem in the history of ATX PCI-E for Graphics history. CableMod even recalled their products thru official consumer protection channels: https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2024/G...ire-and-Burn-Hazards-Manufactured-by-CableMod

The 4090 is a crazy impressive gaming GPU, but nVidia doesn't need any free passes on $3.6T+ plus of market cap and the master class of master classes on mindshare success.
