So... My gpu just burned!...
🕑 Added 2025-10-23 11:33:42 +0000 UTCTLDR: I ordered a RTX 5080 while i'm waiting for my 4090 to be repair.
My RTX 4090 burned his own connector, so today I just ordered an RTX 5080 16gb, i heard online something about 24gb models but honestly i'm not an AI bro, I just want something that can work well with Blender without dying of exhaustion every time it has to render a single frame đ , They told me the GPU will arrive tomorrow, i hope it work well for my needs, and before someone tells me about RTX 5060 s 70s, AMD gpus..., i just want something relatively close in power as my 4090, without having to spend from 2k to 3k euros, 5090s sounds pretty sweet but im not sure if my psu could handle the extra horse power, and i dont want to find it the hard way, plus the lack of trust of the shitty obviously designed to fail connector (Yes 5080s has the same connector but they are less power hungry, which means less heat), i've been watching RTX 3090s on Ebay, but i don't feel like playing the second hand lottery right now, since the 30 series was released during the golden days of crypto bros, as well the 40 series release in the dawn of the AI bros, you just can't be sure what you're getting, so right now the
worst case scenario:
they can't fix the 4090, but i still have a 5080,
Best case scenario:
I could end with 2 working GPUs, so now im pretty happy, cant wait to go back to work!

Oh that blows and not in a good way. Hopefully they will be able to fix it. So sorry this happened my friend. *comforting supportive yetihug* just stay strong and hopefully it will all work out.
