EG1. Also I think MSI should sue you. They did not say that the 4090 does spike up to 1350 watts. You OBVIOUSLY, in order to avoid admitting you were wrong, made stuff up. What MSI said is that a 4090 can have a spike up to 1350w and their new PSU can handle it. That's a totally different statement.
So I can see you actually read my source, it's nice to see you aren't 100% an nVidia shill. I left that little part in their on purpose to see if you thuroughly read spurced links, although I doubt you'll believe that.
But you made an interesting point for me and I was hoping you would. There is a reason I selected MSI as they produce both 4090s using the 12pin and ATX 3.0 powersupplies.
Oh, a PSU manafacturer that just released uber expensive ATX 3 power supplies is telling you how much you really really need them? LOLk.
If the powersupply manufacturer is telling you how much you need them in order to sell more wouldn't it stand to reason that a GPU manufacturer would shift the blame of a hardware fault somewhere else to not impact sales?
And you still have not been able to answer why the 3090ti is not a victim of "user error" or even the hardware faults we see from the 4090 but the 4090 is? User error should be statistically identical across products. The fact that this does not happen on the 30 series shows us that it is not user error. I would like to remind you that you brought that the 3090ti is more power hungry, suffers from more extreme transient spikes but does not suffer from "user error".
What explanation do you have for this aside from "lol, k" and cheers'ing yourself for what you feel is a job well done for defending nVidia.
See, my issue has never been with nVidia over the 12vhpwr connector, although I continue to thing its a stupid feature noone asked for. My issue is with the connector itself. nVidia does now own injection molding factories where they make the connector. The difference between the connectors would not be their fault. Injection molds degrade with continued use. The plant making the connectors for nVidia could be using the same molds from the 30 series.
It might not have seemed like an issue when first releasing them, but the continued use of old injection molds is likely the root cause of why these things are failing. There are many issues that stack on top of this, like puting 2.6x the power through a smaller connector or user error. However, these problems only came about after continued use and degradation of the molds.
If nVidia wants the 12vhpwr connector to be successful it has to hold it to very high manufacturing standards. The 4090 shows that they did not hold their connector to high standards and simply blamed the users.
