Asus found itself in a bit of hot water at the very start of the year, as some users accused its Q-Release PCIe slot of grinding GPU contact pins. Since then, Asus offered to cover any damage, but Gigabyte has seemingly taken the opportunity to brag about the fact that its release system doesn't do the same.
As spotted by VideoCardz, Aorus, Gigabyte's gaming brand, put out a post on X showing what happens when you install and remove a GPU 100 times. Without the context of this Asus debacle, one might assume this is simply a video to show off its PCIe release system, but in the wake of Asus' problems, this feels like a very tactical gloat.
