Ne dovolite, da bi vaša grafična kartica chonk popustila, saj lahko dejansko umre

Kam bo šel vedno večji slonotizem sodobnih grafičnih kartic, kot so monstruozne Nvidia RTX 4090 (odpre se v novem zavihku) konec? V mrtvih grafičnih procesorjih, se zdi. Nemški tehnik za popravilo računalnikov je poročal, da se plošče Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti zdaj rutinsko odpovedujejo zaradi obremenitve, ki jo povzroča težka grafična kartica, ki se povesi v vtičnico.

KrisFix (odpre se v novem zavihku) (Via Tomova strojna oprema (odpre se v novem zavihku)) says that some of the card’s memory chips can suffer from failing solder points due to the board flexing under heavy sag in the PCI Express socket. It’s the chips located nearest the socket that fail because that’s where the board bends the most.

Cards that fail in this manner can be repaired, but re-balling and soldering the memory chips isn’t excatly a straight-forward DIY job.

The better option is preventative measures and happily that’s actually pretty straight forward. One easy option is an anti-sag bracket which many larger graphics cards do indeed include in the box. 

Druga možnost je navpični nosilec za grafično kartico (odpre se v novem zavihku) that allows you to rotate the board through 90 degrees and remove all the stress. Either that or let’s all return to those clever landscape PCs of yore, you know the ones in beige boxes, and forget all these silly tower PCs and their sagging GPUs.

If you’ve been running a big old card without support don’t immediately panic. RTX 2080 Ti cards are now over four years old, so it takes a while for the stress of hanging from a socket to cause failure.

Če pa imate nedavni model, na primer enega izmed smešno masivnih RTX 4080 (odpre se v novem zavihku) in 4090 sklopov, ki trenutno visijo iz vtičnice v stolpni opremi, bi bilo pametno prej kot slej urediti kakšno podporo.

Če že, bi lahko bila večja skrb nakup rabljenih kartic. Koliko stresa je že utrpela ta dve leti stara kartica RTX serije 30?

Vse to je še en razlog, zakaj nam je novost zelo všeč Nvidia RTX 4070 (odpre se v novem zavihku). It’s a sensibly sized thing, an actual graphics card, not some oversized beast that seems to have grown out of all proportion to the original intention or specifications of the PCIe graphics slot.

We should note for completeness that there’s no particular reason to assume these board stresses are unique to Nvidia. AMD has its own line in huge graphics cards, including the latest Radeon RX 7900 XT in XTX (odpre se v novem zavihku) models. We’d be taking just as much care with those as larger Nvidia cards, that’s for sure.
