I once playtested their MMO, I believe it was called "New World". It sucked balls. Didn't realize they were also trying to get going with game distribution.

Got an open box 7900 XT waiting at home. I'm trying my best to wait for reliable info on performance and pricing of the 9070 XT, but my guess is that it won't be faster and the 20 GB VRAM would be nice. I paid 600 EUR including VAT and it sure doesn't look like the 9070 XT will be cheaper than that or so fast that it would warrant a higher price. Even if we assume that RT performance and FSR 4 will be great.
Well, of course. What can you expect from a Chinese PCB that costs only 2500 USD, right?
The problem seems to be load balancing, or lack thereof. A German guy on YouTube noticed that his cable got up to 150°C at the PSU end, due to one wire delivering 20 or 22 amps, while the others were getting a lot less pumped through them. 22 Ampere is pretty much half the power draw of the card, through one wire instead of three if the load was properly balanced between them. That's why it ran so hot and melted to shit.
If you've ever worked on your car's 12 V electrics system, you'll know how thick the wires (and corresponding connector sizes) are for things like window defrosters that will run through a 20 or 30 amp fuse.
You're never gonna push the technological envelope with that attitude, bro.

Seems to be less about the connector, but more about load balancing. The German guy who had 150°C connectors at the PSU side also measured current draws. One cable was doing 22 A (so almost half of the 5090's total consumption) while the other ~~7~~ five were just chilling.
In the picture he looks like Eminem who's discovered all the letters from Stan that he never answered.
