Perhaps. Or perhaps it's 1% of reference models. But it is, according to AMD, a knowable, countable, and therefore recallable number that AMD is electing not to issue a recall for.
If they did, the both the consumer market and the investor market would know how big a problem this is. Which AMD is very clearly shying away from.
As a cynic, it makes me suspect that the number is on the larger end of the spectrum.
- CoastalCoder 4y agoIn recent years I've been a big fan of AMD's products. But I agree, there evasiveness on this topic is eroding some of my trust. I'd like to see AMD get sued (without settling out of court) so that hopefully the number of affected cards becomes public via discovery. Poor form, AMD, poor form indeed.
- tgtweak 4y agoSeveral youtubers have bought multiple cards to test and nearly all of them experienced this issue when installed horizontally (vast majority of gpu installs are this way - motherboard vertical, card horizontal). AMD claiming that it's due to some vapor chambers not being filled fully is pretty bunk since it is across all vendors and there is supposedly a revised cooler design going out to OEM partners for recall/refitting.
