Corsair has publicly apologised after a \u201cmember of staff\u201d was found last week to have called sections of reviews of the latest RTX 4090 graphics card\u2014made by both Gamers Nexus<\/em> and Guru3D<\/em>\u2014\u201dtotal bullshit\u201d.<\/p>\n

The drama arose last week when the hugely-popular hardware channel Gamers Nexus<\/em> posted a review (and some benchmarks) of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition<\/span>. In that video, they say plugging in only three of the card\u2019s four cables (in case your PSU for whatever reason only had room for three 8-pin connections) would lock you to 100% performance, and that only by plugging in all four would you be allowed to overclock the card. Guru3D\u2019s review says much the same thing<\/span>. <\/p>\n

Not long after, Discord comments left by a Corsair staffer went viral. They called both Gamers Nexus<\/em> and Guru3D\u2019s <\/em>claims \u201ctotal bullshit\u201d and \u201cmisinformation\u201d, while also saying both users and \u201cthe press\u201d were both \u201cconfused\u201d about the card\u2019s power and overclocking claims. The full comments, as shared by Gamers Nexus<\/em>, read:<\/p>\n

QUESTION: Has anyone else seen the misinformation about the sense pins and the magical 600W unlock from anyone other than GamersNexus and Guru3D or is it just those two sites? I need to throw Nvidia a couple links showing them how confused user… and the press… are about their smart sense pins.<\/p>\n

Total bullshit and they don\u2019t even realize it. Yes. The adapter has two sense wires. Yes. The card works with only one sense wire attached. It\u2019s because it\u2019s a 450W card. It\u2019s not because it has the ability to be \u2018unlocked\u2019 requiring the second sense wire.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The card simply doesn\u2019t know. It\u2019s not intelligent in that way. It only looks for one sense pin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a follow-up video, Gamers Nexus<\/em> addresses those \u201cbullshit\u201d claims:<\/p>\n
