Bencharked a different scene level?

Possible, however the the 1% lows can be very different and if that was related to the scene used it would mean this game has performance problems because the difference in 1% lows can vary by dozens of fps that should have been picked up by Digital Foundry in their review.

I don’t think it’s that bad. I paid £320 brand new, which is comparable to a 3060ti, which itself is 8gb.

There’s still room for an 8gb card and even though my initial question was regarding a potential mitigation, I don’t think it’s a product killer.
Anyway, my lad is only 12, he won’t be super bothered if he has to reduce textures.

So you got it cheap, yet to me it still seems expensive for what you're getting.

The market isn’t great, I’ll agree there! Not sure what the alternative would be. I could have gotten a 6750xt for the same money. A much better rasterisation card but again, I favoured DLSS3 and the low power for his particular use.

Hopefully his requirements for gaming at 1080p will be fully met. Like I said, he’s only 12. :)

Who says 8 pins can't also melt and melt on the PSU side as well

Your post is missing a load of context. The PSU was replaced via RMA and the original pcie connecter was left in the PC. There was a pin layout change for the replacement PSU which was missed so when used with the original cables it caused it to melt/overheat. EVGA ****** up by sending the wrong version of PSU on the RMA replacement

Exactly.. he has a habit of doing that and never adding a source.

Source for the issue :-

www.tomshardware.com

EVGA power supply allegedly kills 22TB of customer storage — revised model from RMA had a different pin layout and killed all SATA-powered devices

The vendor changed the SATA pin layout on the EVGA GQ 1000W, which isn't compatible with previous power cables.

Also the picture posted came from this post on reddit



This person states it was connected to a 3080ti and daisy chained from one cable from the psu, so clearly user error and overloaded the connector :rolleyes:

Yeah was daisy chained to a 3080ti
Would use two but was a space saving move, my case is tiny

Haven't bothered looking at the article, but when I've done RMAs on PSUs in the past it has usually said something like return or dispose of all cables, probably to try and avoid situations like that.

EDIT: Can't remember if I've done a unit only swap out though - mostly it has been DOA PSUs.

Classic, could see this coming, trying to shift all blame onto you no doubt.
