    At least Ebay ads specifically say their Pokemon cards are not fake. Everything else, take your lucky shot.

      Make own boards for rack cooled AI farms.
      Recup cost for bulky and over-marketed ROG stuff.
      Best guess.

    Too bad NVIDIA doesn't sell replacement cores or memory... Waiting for that right to repair legislation to take effect
    Although if this was me I probably would try to stop them from sending the card in to avoid charging them for a repair attempt

      It's actually my cousin's card. He got it on Facebook marketplace for $900 which I told him was a little too good to be true.. It was not a $300 eBay card.
