Yah, AMD just won game 6 of the world series and is apparently celebrating in Houston with the Astros.

Now they just have to get their software right and make sure there are no other issues.

I wonder if Nvidia will cap the power in the next couple of driver releases?

That wouldn’t surprise me. When the 30-series released, there were reports of some cards locking up at high boost clocks… so they lowered the max boost in a driver update. I expect they will solve this the same way: Lower performance to reduce the fire hazard rather than fix the connector.
