first try, bought a 2080 back in March. Metro Exodus looks really really nice to me with DXR. Kept the card for two months, realized I spent way too much, panicked, sold it, bought a used Vega 64.
second try, last month, got lucky and somehow snagged a 2060 Super at Best Buy because apparently I'm obsessed. Metro still looks great with RT. 2060S not really faster than the Vega otherwise but uses a lot less power, and hey, I can't stop thinking about them RT cores.
fast forward to this week, within the span of a few days the card has gone from ripping along happy as a clam (if a bit hot, like 80*) to crashing intermittently, to crashing constantly, to artifacting and then crashing.
le sigh
at least it's still within the return period at the 'Buy. I think I'm gonna try and pick up a second Vega 64 instead for less coin than I paid for this shiny NV brick because Crossfire in 2019 seems just dumb enough for me to try it, and it'll give me extra incentive to get more into DC and maybe mine a coin when the weather gets cold. RTX is just gonna have to wait is what I'm getting from all this lol
tl;dr, woman can't stop thinking about thos ar-tee corez but keeps getting shot down
