So aside from that, Hawaii was a far smaller, performed better, aged far better but somehow the narratives was about being hot and loud. Nvidia's marketing is just scary and there are enough weak "journalists" and fanboys that nothing ever gets said.
Correct. I went to upgrade the 290X sometime in 2017 and was shocked that the 580 was barely a sidegrade. It ended up being one of the better GPU purchases and definitely got some strange mindshare berating - the only thing I will concede was its poor cooler out of the box, far too loud and did get toasty (but I installed a third party with AIO some point after which probably made it last so long).
