    Well, people with toasters do usually play this game... Didn't expect that it would be taken literally ;)

    will it increase my social score if I buy one ? ;)
    anways I could buy a 3090 right now...an Aorus master..for the low price of...2084€ or 2551$
    so yeah....no and it's a 2 pcie connectors version, which I warned people in other threads I found pretty weirds for cards that should go in the 400 watts
    and sure enough Gigabyte silently updated both 3080 and 3090 to a 3 connectors versions (which should be a news here btw)

    I just noticed that, good on them for undoing that dumb proprietary connector. I don't know why they felt they suddenly needed to require a new connector that NO ONE at all would already have, plus then have to include an adapter which increases the BOM. I think most of it was just because otherwise some of those cards would need 3 8-pin connectors.
    If you ask me it's just one more point of failure, one more thing that can go wrong or users could mess up. You wouldn't believe what goes on in the Newegg discord with the connector change.
    I'd imagine it'd be 1000x worse if there were actually more than 10~20 of these cards out in the wild (/s).
