Recently, NorthbridgeFix disclosed an unfortunate incident involving an RTX PRO 6000 graphics card, a high-end model priced at around $10,000. This card met its demise after its PCIe daughter card fractured into two, rendering it beyond any hope of repair. The graphics card boasts a modular daughter card design, separating the PCIe interface from the output interface. Given its multiple PCB layers and intricate architecture, once the daughter card is damaged, restoring it through conventional repair methods becomes virtually impossible. Earlier, the RTX 5090 FE reference graphics card also encountered analogous design flaws, leading to irreparable damage once its PCIe interface was compromised. Nevertheless, NVIDIA has demonstrated its commitment to customer satisfaction by agreeing to replace the RTX PRO 6000 for its unfortunate owner, mirroring the course of action taken in the prior RTX 5090 FE incident.
