Don't Worry About Your RX 6800 XT... It's Going to be Fine!
Today i in the news, we got an update on all those dying RX 6800 series GPUs, Intel locks CPU’s, and we got some rumors on the 4060 ti. What is up guys I’m Snow and this is your boot sequence.
Alright, so a couple of videos ago, we talked about a repair shop in Germany called Krisfix. In the last month or 2, he received 61 AMD cards. Specifically, Navi 21 Cards, so RX 6800 and 6900 series. To make a long story short, 48 out of the 61 cards received were dead. Some with literally shattered dies. What's important to note here is that all of those GPUs did work when the people who bought them tried them for the first time. They just didn't last long. He said some GPU’s broke after a day or two. The only common factor was that they all ran the same drivers, aka the latest driver from 2022. Turns out, that wasn't the only common thing, but we’ll get back to it in a second.
Anyways, we got an update on the situation. In his most recent video, He explained how he in any case, multiple known good GPUs, and stress-tested them for a couple of days straight. All in all, though, the known good GPUs were perfectly fine. They ran a little hot, but no issues per say. So what about those 48 cards that failed?
Well, he contacted the people who sent in their gpu’s, and they pretty much bought them all online second-hand. There were only 2 people who bought their GPU at retail. So all of those gpu’s that failed likely came from the same source, aka a crypto miner.
