That's only because you have jet engines masquerading as case fans to blow that shite out before it settles lmao.

Was only 30 days as it was open box from ocuk.

They must have the same standard warranty, btw avoid open box, especially for really expensive products. People don't usually return things like video cards for no reason, it's because there was something wrong with them.

Shiny...

Proper pics when it has a decent gpu in it.

If there is cannabis all over the GPU, then it costs more !

And once returned, it they push it during tests, it will smell good too, no complaints from them i hope.

One of the best stories about Canada. It was about 8:30 AM in the morning and all I had was roaches so I rolled one up. Those smell terrible and I had to go out to the park to smoke that. While I was near the end and nice and cherry 2 police officers came walking towards me on the path. Since Mary Jane is completely legal where I live all they could say to me was Good Morning as I pulled on the 2nd last hit. Then I went home and played the shit out of Helldivers 2.

Breakfast of champions?!?! Or did you have a coffee and farmers wrap with that? lol

Yes DDU and then insert the 1660 super

I wouldn't DDU unless I get errors. Removing all Nvidia/AMD software through the Control Panel with the internet connection disabled should do the trick. I've had instances when DDU removed much needed system files which were more annoying to get back than being left with driver leftovers would have been.

It was Premier league time so it would have been half time. Not coffee but a nice juice with buttery eggs and meat protein in bacon and Sausages. I might even have had some baked beans on that day.

In DDU options check/uncheck what to uninstall, driver, physx... but some revert after relaunch the app... it also has the turn off tip saying it's for GPU switch, reboot for driver update.

6900xt is dead. 1660s is my old card.

Yikes! Reminds me of December, 2021, when I "bricked" my Navi10! (RX 5600 XT) I popped in my Zotac GTX 1660 Super.

Changing the drivers was so easy with DDU! IIRC, I used DDU to clear the Radeon software. Select the option in DDU to block Windows Update from installing drivers!

IIRC, this would hurt more than when my RX 5600 XT was "bricked"!

I got my GTX 1660 Super, before the "video card mageddon"!

I got my RX 5600 XT in November, 2020, it was very shortly before the "video card mageddon"! It already looked very bad in December, 2020!

But, I did have another Navi1, the RX 5500 XT 8 GB. (Both Navi1s are MSI) I got the RX 5500 XT 8 GB, months before I got the RX 5600 XT, which only has 6 GB of VRAM, but it beats the RX 5500 XT 8 GB.

One of the cons of the RX 5500 XT, is that it's x8. It's clearly made for PCI-E 4.0, but I had a PCI-E 3.0 motherboard. Even when the popular-at-the-time Ryzen 7 3700X, of course has PCI-E 4.0.
Matisse was the first to have PCI-E 4.0. It was because I had a B450 motherboard, IIRC.
