Well, that one is on Asus, not Nvidia. It still sucks for him, even if GN buys it from him. Maybe he'll be lucky and will be able to buy a new one once they come back in stock at a more reasonable price.

That pisses me off. Black screens on not only the 5000 but also the 3 and 4000 series? We'll investigate. Power connectors melting/burning? We'll investigate. GPUs with missing ROPs? Oh, yeah, they're like 0.5% of them. They f*cking knew it and sold them anyway!
That's worth a lawsuit.

Here's my results: Mafia II Classic results: Benchmark run without the 3050 and max settings: 28.8 FPS Benchmark run with the 3050 and max settings: 157.1 FPS https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1iv2a4c/i_bought_a_3050_to_pair_with_my_5090_to_uncripple/ There's more examples, it's just very stupid of them to drop 32bit PhysX support. |
Dear God, that's a massive difference.
Your idea of getting a 750Ti wasn't that crazy after all. The 3050 will fly off the shelves.
