For proof of the widespread nature of the failures, the suit refers towhich both records the technical characteristics of the failures in forensic detail and logs 26 Reddit users who have experienced the problem.Recent testing by Igor's Lab in Germany
suggests that the problem is likely to be worse on boards shipped with adapters made by supplier Astron, with connectors made by NTK somewhat less likely to come over all melty. The above-referenced Reddit thread quotes a failure rate of between 0.05 percent and 0.1 percent, or somewhere between one failure for every 1,000 or 2,000 boards, according to an unnamed graphics card manufacturer.
Exactly how Nvidia is going to square this one away is unclear for now. But given the seemingly ever-escalating scale of the failures, we wouldn't be surprised to see either an official recall, a supply of different adapters, or some kind of formalised compensation scheme appear in due course.
