Why are people talking about undervolting hardware now? It is because of Nvidia burning connectors?
huh? Undervolting has been part of overclocking for as long as I can remember
I think undervolting is bursting out of the niche area now for some reason, I've seen articles about it in unrelated sites.
It is because it’s only recently been effective. In the past people would swear by under volting but there was no actual performance increase with minor temp improvements.
I hope AMD keep making powerful gpus, Nvidia seems to be creating some sort of scarcity consumer mentality only to compensate with upscaling tech, while AMD does that in some level I hope their don't downgrade the hardware in the same way.
