Imagine paying 2000+ on a GPU only for it to be bricked ☠️
At this point Intel should step up game and release sub $400-$500 cards
the killswitch is already in - it's called 12vhpwr
Our graphics cards are even spyware now. 😭
Some machines have gps built-in so if you sell them out of country they stop working that was 20 plus years ago
This could NEVER be abused EVER by ANYBODY. I have TOTAL confidence in this plan 100%
I cant wait for some hacker to come in and disable my gpu for no reason
accidentally clicks China in my VPN My GPU: "im boutta blow 😩"
Maybe removing the kill switch actually just removes the safety 😮
Absolutely not. I paid for it; if I want to leave it on and let it infect, it should be my choice to do so. Not someone else’s. They’re just taking away choices.
Nvidia: adds kill switch China: Just unplugs Internet before kill switch activates
A kill switch on GPU’s could be bad for people potentially in North America if it means we all get the same card as China.
The ryzen 4070 is still always available.
Paranoia at it’s finest
The kill switch is the 12 pin cable that catch fire
It used to be the US claiming Chinese products have trackers and weird stuff on it now the US want to do it too 😂
I'm so glad I switched to an all AMD build recently
a kill switch wouldn’t work unless it was built into the silicon itself, because if it wasn’t, people can just use a soldering stuff to get it off
A few years ago, the US government was concerned that the processing power of a particular gaming system could be used for guided missiles. It all blew over in just a few years.
