    Nvidia 3090 Founders Edition red light

    I was just wondering if it is normal for a Nividia Founders Edition Graphics card to display a red line along one end of the card when the PC boots. I did a search but could find nothing about it.

    Regards Matt.

      A bit difficult to take a photo of the light, it only goes on for a second (it is at the opposite end of the connectors and is a solid red line. I had a 1080 that used to display a red line along its length when the PC started up, this turned blue then finally green, I think the card might not be seated properly, just worried that it’s RMA time.

        I suspect that if the light goes out it is normal but if any of the red LEDs stay lit there is a problem.

        Does the card have RGB lighting.

              Update from the OP.

              Like to thank you for your help, I could not reply as I was taken ill. Turns out (aplogies for this), it was an optical illusion of sorts, the card has a thin angled edge that is not perceivable unless you shine a torch upon it, this edge was reflecting a tiny motherboard light. Sorry for any inconvenience.
