My RTX 5090 Works Fine – Here’s Why I Still Got Scolded (Shocking Truth Revealed)

I recently purchased the highly sought-after 5090D and naturally joined online discussions about it. As many are aware, certain 50-series cards have been plagued by performance issues, with manufacturers citing a mere 0.5% defect rate while offering warranty coverage. Like other early adopters, I ran GPU-Z tests to verify my card’s raster performance – thankfully, mine passed with flying colors.

What surprised me was the backlash I received simply for sharing my positive experience. Despite posting concrete screenshots showing all 176 ROPs functioning perfectly, some commenters demanded I “admit” my card was defective. Their logic? “If it’s not underperforming now, it will eventually.” My genuine attempt to contribute to the discussion somehow triggered genuine anger from certain individuals.

The hostility escalated when I mentioned the warranty coverage – suddenly I was facing personal attacks and absurd accusations.

This online phenomenon has become predictable: if your 4090’s power connector hasn’t melted, you’re lying. If your 5090 performs as advertised, you’re wrong. Buy a non-D 4090? “You don’t even use AI!” Opt for the D-model 5090? “Trash gaming performance!” The mental gymnastics behind these comments leave me utterly perplexed. [sigh][sigh][sigh][sigh]

  1. I feel like this happens a lot with new tech—people expect perfection right out of the box. It’s wild how quick the online community can turn if your experience doesn’t match the norm, even when everything works fine for you. I wonder how much of it is genuine concern versus just wanting attention for having the latest hardware.

    1. Absolutely agree! New tech often brings high expectations, and the online noise can feel overwhelming. I think a mix of both genuine concerns and a bit of bragging happens—it’s human nature. Thanks for sharing your thoughts; it’s a great reminder to focus on our own experiences rather than getting caught up in the hype.

    1. Absolutely agree! The tech community can sometimes be unfairly critical, and it’s tough when you’ve made a legitimate purchase but still face judgment. I think it says more about the critics than the buyers—it’s not about the hardware, but rather insecurity or envy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts; it’s a topic that resonates with so many of us!

  6. I totally get why you got scolded—it’s frustrating when people jump straight to blaming hardware instead of considering factors like software or setup issues. It seems like everyone wants to be the first to call out problems, even if their card is actually fine. Social media can amplify that kind of negativity fast.
