Does Gigabyte still do the bait and switch thing where they let a product get reviewed, then quietly downgrade it (e.g. with weaker VRMs) afterwards?

The GPU situation is so intolerable with no end in sight that I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet and buy a full pugetsystems build in a few months. Didn't want to have to buy a whole new prebuilt PC just to get the GPU I need for professional animation work, but that's what it's coming down to.

My old graphics card, which was the least egregious gamer-bro branding out there, was still called the XFX THICC III. It had gold bits on the fans though. But it's why I like the reference cards. None of that gamer grub teenage boy nonsense. The new Nvidia FEs look especially nice. Secretly still pine for the days where graphics cards looked like this though. Give me an entire motherboard with a CGI goblin and/or fairy woman emblazoned across the PCB:

For all the love eVGA gets in the customer service department, trying to RMA a dead out-of-the-box b stock 2060 has been a pain in the rear end. You have to register the product with an invoice and then create a service ticket, then after two days, the service ticket is approved. This doesn't allow you to RMA you have to create an RMA ticket from the service ticket number with the same information and then upload your invoice again. Now I'm waiting for the RMA to be approved. All for the pleasure of paying to ship a dead card back to them.

My 3080 bricked during the VBIOS/rebar update. I called them and they approved my RMA immediately. Their online platform moves a bit slower in comparison

Yeah call if you can. They should still have stateside call centers and the hold times shouldn’t be a problem. Last I called was pre pandemic pre crypto insanity though.

EVGA definitely still has stateside call centers so you won’t have any weird audio delays or other issues to contend with, and will likely be speaking with a fellow dweeb. I was recently working with them to swap out a power supply and they were very helpful in escalating the ticket and got things moving immediately.

are there any gpu recommendations for a mini-server? ideally 2GB GDDR5 or similar, and NVENC/NVDEC or AMD equivalent support. I have weird requirements of a <180W power supply, no additional power connector, low profile single slot height card, and a small heatsink. couldn't get a GT730 to fit in it because the fins were too tall - there is almost no clearance past the card. there's a hilarious youtube tutorial about putting gloves on and just taking a knife and bending or prying the passive heatsink fins sideways, but .. lol Impotence fucked around with this message at 21:23 on May 10, 2021 |

I think you need an Nvidia 1030 or better to do h265, I'm using a gtx750ti which doesn't. There's a matrix on nvidia's site that breaks it down.

h264 / 1080 is more than enough for this use case I have a gt730 but it's a weird thing - every gt730 i've seen in store has been DDR3 and does not support even a single nvenc channel. this particular one clearly says gt730 (not gtx), has gddr5, and supports nvenc 1 channel - it is not listed on the matrix at all. I'm uncertain why or how

I'd recommend just using an Intel CPU with Quicksync since getting even garbage GPUs is a pain right now.
