Nvidia has done it once more. The company has replaced a broken graphics card, which it technically had no obligation to replace, as the damage was user-induced. This time, they substituted the very expensive professional RTX PRO 6000 card, about which we spoke recently.
Meanwhile, components have started appearing independently of Nvidia on the market.
For now, this concerns only that very separate PCIe plate, which was precisely what suffered in the RTX PRO 6000. Interestingly, these parts surfaced in China, not due to Nvidia’s efforts. They’re not new parts but rather removed from other graphics cards. The price for such a spare is only about $24, which is quite little compared to the price of even an RTX 5090, let alone the $10,000 professional version.
However, as long as Nvidia, for some internal reasons, continues agreeing to replace graphics cards even under non-warranty cases, users can directly contact the company.
