Yes, that's why I question the approach here.

Testing hardware is a complicated matter (you can do a PhD on the topic), and nvidia probably does a better job at it than a hacker in their basement who thinks they can upgrade their GPU for free.

On the other hand ... perhaps a few bit errors is not a problem for AI workloads ... but they could also crash your system ...

The good news is that Nvidia did test the hardware, and left the "defective" masks right there in the fuses for us to read. If you have a card that has been fuse-segmented well below its defective part count, you have a product segmentation product on your hands.

Except he literally did.
