Any gaming PC enthusiast will be following NVIDIA's latest RTX 50 series graphics card launch and subsequent fallout which continues unabated.
This is Gamers Nexus's take on the latest missing ROPS fiasco on the 5090 and 5070 Ti. Steve Burke, real name Tech Jesus, really doesn't hold back with his criticisms and facepalms so hard that I reckon any more NVIDIA screwups and he'll hurt his face! He's got this priceless line in the video where he says: "It's the multiplication of fuckups here". Absolute comedy gold!
Can you believe that NVIDIA have launched a graphics card costing an extortionate $2000+ yet insults its customers with a shitty little power connector that can't handle the load? Yes, it's the same exact connector installed on the 4090 that was so problematic, but now is turned at an angle to "solve" the problems and has even more power pushed down it, in excess of 600W. The result is more melting connectors, potential fire hazards (I'm not exaggerating) and ruined cards. I can tell you, with all these problems, I wouldn't touch a 5090 even if I was a millionaire as it's clearly not fit for purpose and is a fire risk. If a product ever screamed "product recall", it's this. Let's see what it takes to force NVIDIA's hand.
Let's please have your opinions on this farce and feel free to add any additions to the saga in this thread.
Here's the GN video description which gives you an idea of the extent of the problems with this launch.
