Digitec Podcast Episode 120: Is the RTX 4090 a fire hazard?

Some users report burnt power cables on the RTX 4090. What's behind it? Domi tried out the Red Magic 7S Pro gaming phone. We also talk about "House of the Dragon" and "God of War: Ragnarok".
Whoever spends over 1500 francs on a graphics card doesn't want to have to worry about the part burning down. At least that's what apparently happened with the power cable. Nvidia is investigating the problem, which was apparently known. Things are also hot and heavy with "Bayonetta 3". The former spokeswoman of the main character has spoken out with accusations against the studio. It's about fair payment. However, there is more to it than first appeared.
Luca has finished watching "House of the Dragon" and takes stock. We are only halfway through the "Star Wars" series "Andor", but we have already made up our minds.
Domi and I have played "God of War: Ragnarok" and talk about the first hours with the God of War. We also talk about the surprisingly good card game "Marvel Snap".

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
