Doesn't mounting vertically generally result in poorer thermals on all cards?
I had an Aorus Xtreme 2080 Ti for a few days and it was horrific. One of the loudest cards I've ever had (louder than an undervolted reference Vega 64). It also ran really hot, going north of 80 degrees. It's been years since I've had a card like that (again, even the reference Vega 64 ran cooler). The bog standard Gigabyte Gaming OC model supposedly runs a good ten degrees cooler and much quieter. The middle fan on the Xtreme model seems like it basically might as well not be there since they cut so much off the fins, and I can't help but think the outer ones are compromised by having LEDs embedded in them too. A real example of form over function, though frankly I thought the LED lighting was crap as well. It's flickery unless the fans are really working hard (so if you're running Rocket League capped at 30fps with this thing) and the ones on the fan turn on and off all the time, since the card can't maintain zero RPM even on the desktop if you fire up a Youtube video or something, and the lights come on when the fans start spinning. Dreadful card.Do you have one?
Is it really that bad?

Interesting result, and not what I was expecting given the hype.
Think I might just get an EVGA 2070 Super for nearly 1/3 the price of a Ti and go for the flagship next gen instead whenever it comes out.
Just did some sums and my company decided it needed a new ... errr ... workstation, with a 2080 Ti in it. For machine learning research. Totally.
Hahaha. Tax deductible if it’s your own company, right?
I'd put 10p on around cyberpunk time, cos it has RTX and they could bundle it with cards too
Is now even a good time to be buying a new GPU. When do we guesstimate the 3000 series will appear?
A general guess is when AMD launch their next gen cards.
Any idea?
It could also go with 2000 series price cuts,My money is also on April/May 2020 for the Cyberpunk launch.
Cyberpunk is a massive RTX Ray Tracing title for Nvidia and giving the game away free with your shiny new RTX 3000 card would be a massive up-sell for them!
