Yeah that's it, I obviously struggled to understand this basic math and made up a magic date in my head
I'm off back to happy land now, good bye
Thought you was happy with your 2080Ti. Knew you would want to upgrade. Funny how it works at these times when a new gen of cards come out. Suddenly the 2080Ti becomes a mid range card or certainly a hell of a lot less desirable anyways
Remember, if you want the best you will need to buy the Titan, if not settle for the second best which will be the 3090

It appears memory is a real problem for Ampere:

It's consuming a ton of power and is clocked to the very edge! I wonder if Micron screwed up??

Looks like there's going to be a last minute scramble to keep it cool for AIBs. Interesting times although can't imagine much if any availability 1st Sept.
How the #### would he know that? RDNA2 isn't out yet, you know what? Lets see how big a liar he is, i'm expecting Ampere to be 2X the performance per watt of RDNA2.

Isn't it more to do with the board design, memory on both sides creating a high concentration of heat?

Not something I would risk saying if true. But you can bet your bottom dollar that if they screw up and its a noisy heat fest the GIFs are out from the 290x era for sure! 
Jenson probably found out that RDNA2 didn't scale well at a family get together when Lisa was a little bit tipsy

.No doubt, a 300-350W card is going to have cooling challenges.
Both AMD and Nvidia have had problems cooling GDDR6, if i remember right the high death rate of early 2080TI's was overheating GDDR6, as was the Space Invaders graphics corruption. AMD havent got away with it either, Integrated G'Ram heat syncs on some AMD cards are particularly bad as they are GPU heat soaked, you often see those coolers running G'Ram in the high 80's, one or two AIB ones also killed their G'Ram, (Asus TUF Gaming) GDDR6 is rated for 95c, really they all need large fined discrete G'Ram coolers, like mine does, the G'Ram runs in the mid 70's on my GPU, that's about the only thing they got right with the cooling, the GPU cooler is crap.
GDDR6X may well be worse.

Nvidia seems to be making some real fighting talk there - usually they tend to be relatively quiet.

lol... well he's already a lair, the 5700XT uses the same power as a 2070 Super, they are the same performance....

First bit of decent potential competition they've had in a while has got them paranoid AF
They're both doing really well keeping leaks plugged. I'm actually impressed in this day and age as it can't be easy. X-rays and full cavity searches on exiting the buildingFirst bit of decent potential competition they've had in a while has got them paranoid AF
