***** AORUS DID NOT INVENT THE GRAPHICS CARD, THEY PERFECTED IT! RTX 2000 SERIES!! *****

The video isn't false if that's the way his card behaves. Though it is suspect that a reviewer gets one that works fine and the ones on sale generally sound like a hairdryer and ramp up to stupid temps.

I'd be interested in hearing what @GIGA-Man has to say about this as it's obvious for the most part the cooler on the cards isn't up to the job, recycled 1080ti heatsink that is struggling to deal with turing core temps.

I disagree. He is reviewing a graphics card. What does it mean when someone reviews a product? it is designed to give an indication of performance of this product which generalise. ie whether i buy 2 or 3 or 5 or 100 i should expect a similar performance. That is the intention of a product review. Many are now reporting performance which does not conform to that video, granted its too early to generalise about the performance of all the card in general but something is wrong here. Indication of a sever quality control issue or as you indicated a cherry picked card, i would say a bit of both.

Yes you are correct, that is how his card is performing but its not how many people cards are performing.

Which is why it would be interesting to hear from the gigabyte rep on this @GIGA-Man . Gigabyte really cheaped out on this card, they reused an existing heatsink that clearly isn't up to the job, then just slapped some led fans on it and pushed that as their main marketing piece and hoped people wouldn't noticed the temps and hairdryer sound coming from their pc.

Asus at least improved their heatsink size and modified their fans for the strix model, gigabyte just seemed to go for all out looks and stuff thermals. It says a lot when the FE card with 1 less fan is capable of running cooler and quieter than this. Though its arguable if the aorus even has 3 fans, its more like 2 and a bit.

I've kept mine but the temps are awful in any game that is very demanding on the GPU. Tomb Raider 2013 has mine running at 84c dropping clocks down to 1900MHz. The cooler is not fit for purpose at all. If you're reading this just avoid buying it and go with a Strix or FTW3.

I am managing to run the new tomb raider at about 80c with vysnc on so load is only about 80 with no AA. Stay above 2000Mhz normally about 2055mhz with +120mhz on the core.

As a test I just downloaded FurMark to see what happens at full load. It boosts to about 1500 stock. With the same +120 core and power/voltage sliders maxed it is 1630-1665 at 86/87c.

I know FurMark is very stressfull but it is not even reaching the advertised 1770 boost even with the sliders maxed. In game is obviously better as stated but not tried a game that loads to 100 percent yet.

Should/Could this be RMAd?? Sorry to keep going on but my concern is those games that do load 100 percent will be thermal throttling. I am only getting away with it at the minute as im only playing Tomb Raider with vsync on and no AA/Motion blur so im not pushing card as hard as I could.

I made a similar comment on the youtube video above and someone asked if I could upload my BIOS to TechPowerUp (I did). He said there is a huge problem with these cards but that a fix is coming 'that's all I can say'.

Thanks,
Sean

Is this nvidia saying this mate?
 
The way I see the advertised boost is it simply means it should be stable whilst at those clocks and be able to reach those clocks in "some" loads.

The only clocks I would consider guaranteed for things like furmark is the advertised base clocks.

Furmark is an abomination of a program and should be avoided.

Use Unigine Valley instead.
 
Getting my crosshair 7 back Friday I think after a successful RMA. Plan to benchmark all weekend. Can't return my Xtreme as 14 days has passed. Still not impressed though. Bang average card.
 
Also ran Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark at 1440p.

+140 on the core and +800 on the memory

73c max

78% fan speed

This is looking a bit better but I did add another 2 fans to my case.

Just been on Tomb Raider, had 1 Bsod and 2 CTD, checked the temp after last CTD 88deg. Would this cause the crash? was at 2040 on the core still.

Depends, how is the air flow in your case? This graphics card throws out TONS and TONS of heat. Its scary, when i touched the side of my case it was hot. The graphics card also heated up my nvme drives. Check the temp of your hard drives and see if they are ok or getting any temperature warnings.

Get a temp monitor and monitor temperature of most components in your case and see if you are getting spikes. The card should throttle back if it gets too hot before it shuts down.

I would put the graphics card into a manual fan curve where anything over 80c and 100% fan, yes its loud but you dont wan to be running anything over 80C long term not good for your card, even though Nvidia says anything blow 89C is fine.

Get more airflow in your case, its a must with this much heat kicking about.
