Try another graphics card to see if the situation remains

It's dead

This is terrible......If this is true, the victim is not just your friend....

Surely wait if your current GPU could handle what you are doing....

Of course 3050TI much better....

The best way to run your GPU with less power is to buy a GPU with lower TDP, if you use afterbunner, it means you want OC. But now you want to run GPU with less power, maybe the software is meaningless for you.

Maybe disgard the curve and set a fixed OC

Set the clock to 2666 manually in BIOS

Hope you can get a 6900XT too and compare with 3090

if same price, of course 1660ti

Not everyone same lucky as you...especially they don't know what happened to the used cards...

depends....a new card has full warranty, but used ones too much uncertainty..if not budget issue, never recommend.

You are a lucky dog...

I'd rather buy a new one....used one too risky...you don't know what will happen the next

here with $210, I get a 1660S..
