depends if you try to play the top tier pc ports latelyYes, I'm sure you can get over 60 FPS if you spend a few grand on a PC

Nice that there's more choice but I long for the day we have cards the size of the reference/founders 1080 Ti that have the power of a 4090.
Less heatsink, so more heat build up, smaller fans potentially so less effective so to me that says these will run hotter, louder and slower.......
The 4090 is an absolute beast, it needs good cooling to maintain high boost clocks, keep temperatures down, noise levels low and improve longevity of the card.
Not so sure smaller versions are a good idea unless substantially and running lower clocks / voltage to reign in the temperatures somewhat.

Unless EVERYONE stops buying I doubt we'll ever see those days again.
Didn't you know, instead of voting with your wallet, it's better to keep buying said awful products by evil companies and just post on a forum about how you're getting screwed over instead

That's exactly what I do.....
Less heatsink also means lower bom too... hence my comment about cost, in fact in the side by side it looks like it's using a more standard rectangle board too which might mean other aspects are cheaper too...
Also a smaller heatsink doesn't necessarily mean we'll see a performance hit, most reviews I've seen have shown the after market coolers to have plenty of headroom, even on the 4090. I'd also argue that the case cooling and airflow will make as much if not more difference to the heat build up than the relatively small shrinkage of cooler.
And to be fair we already know we can reduce the power limit or undervolt a 4090 by quite a bit and keep most of the performance.
40 series are efficient anyway, I doubt there will be any heat issues out of the box on the lower 40s given that they should be generating less heat due to lower number of cores and gubbins. So effectively the balancing of cooling vs componentry would be even anyway.

Low vram is an issue for consoles too
The Xbox Series S is starting to run into problems, game crashing due to 8gb memory on the series S is not enough
www.tomshardware.com
Also on last Gen consoles - all the issues that was found on the 8gb Nvidia cards in the Hogwarts game is now occurring on the ps4 and Xbox one consoles in that game too

Xbox Series S Suffers from VRAM Limitations, Just Like 8GB GPUS
Microsoft did not put enough shared memory in its little console

PS5 Pro/Series X (X?) is going to come along next year with likely at least 20GB, maybe even 24GB, of unified memory and then high settings on PC ports are going to really struggle on 12gbvram or less i reckon.

Baiting headline is baiting.
It's specific to a single game - Borderlands 3
Damn that is a terrible "article". One user on Reddit and one game.
There is not doubt developers are going to have work around the Series S and its weaker hardware set, but this looks to be nothing more than a bug.

Seriously give it a rest

Lets be honest, 90% of the posts on here could be classed as bait
Also it wasn't really as it is true, should be a separate thread for "nvidia practices" as any thread to do with nvidia always ends up with the same broken record rather than discussing the actual topic at hand and by the same posters all the time too, quality of this sub forum posts have gone down hill big time, all pointless bickering with nothing to back up the comments but alas not right place for this discussion either.

Not to mention, current high end consoles are already having to reduce settings across the board including res. as low as 480p and obviously no ray tracing and still getting fps drops below 60 all because of lack of grunt or/and poor optimisation.....
