That happens as even though GPU's get more efficient they are smaller so less area to transfer heat to a lump of metal, and at the end of the day the actual Core temp matters more than the heat out the rear (I have never had a PC actually heat my room in the winter).

The 3090 and 3080 are massive heaters because they have some GDDR6X memory on core side

you can easily shave 20 C by changing the thermal pads from the memory temperature.

the card can be sometimes limited by the throttling of GDDR6X.

Usually the memory on the backplate side does not get cooled down that well in most of the cards I have examined.

Even sticking fins with the adhesive heatsinks on the backplate for the cards that come with one will massively decrease the memory temperature of GDDR6X

Depends on the cost for me really. If I can bag one for RRP then most likely.

I usually go Ti to Ti so will have to see.

20c isn't a shave dude, it's a beheading!!! :eek:

I can see the 3080ti-FE being around £850 or so. As for third party cards......:

I honestly don't see the point of either company "launching" these cards due to the ensuing *********** and rage it brings. Just more opportunity for bots to grab virtually non existent stock and scalp the **** out of it.

So what are the average temps of GDDR6X? Guess not worth it overclocking the memory?

Titanium is more solid than regular metal. Breaks rocks better.

Breaks your bank balance even better

haven't been able to play a game since last September

Why is that? don't tell me you sold your old card too early?

So the GDDR6X will throttle before to reach 110C, under heavy load it can reach a constant 106C.

With a repad I get 88C under the same load in a define 7 case.

I'd be tempted to try and secure one if the MSRP for the FE was around 900ish and sell the 3080 but will be very difficult to get one I'm sure. AIB cards probably will hilariously priced though.

Really, never? I remember my Athlon 1.3/1.4 Thunderbirds doing it. Including the CRT monitor days. ATi CrossFire X1950XTX were very hot heating up the room and even the PowerMac G5s.

Any news from @Gibbo on how they are playing the release?

Genuine question, pre-orders or has that ship sailed?

Nothing on the release so far at all.

Okey. If I can nab one at around £900 the 3080's going on MM.

I had them also starting with AMD 1.2/1.4 Thunderbirds (Pencil Mod

) but the room is 17x13.5x11 (Feet) approx. so not really.

If you sit near it yes you can feel heat the hitting wall and coming back at you if under load.

Currently on a 290x after flogging on my 3070fe, just seemed a waste having it in the pc when i was only playing the odd half hour to an hour of battlefield every so many days. Might buy into a ti for battlefield 6 if it appears later this year.

Computer says No

I'm personally expecting AiB models to be £1200+ easily...
