"Gigabyte's Revised Design Resolves PCB Cracking in RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 GPUs"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Wccftech
Gigabyte has revised the PCB design of its high-end GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 GPUs after incidents of PCB cracking surfaced, leading to damaged PCIe lanes and rejected RMA requests. The new "v1.1" batch features a beefier 70a VRM setup, aiming to address the stability and weight distribution issues. While this change may prevent future problems, affected consumers are left without recourse as Gigabyte has not officially acknowledged the issue or confirmed which SKUs have received the design changes.
