I can't stand those benchmarks... first they are open air which negates one of the biggest strengths of liquid cooling... also water cooling works off of deltaT... so you can add a 100e of heat and temp barely climb... so unless they are using a testing that pushes the limits of the coolers you...

Because turbo boost has various steps... I think the first one is at 50-55c so it starts to reduce the boost in 12mhz increments as it increases in temp.

I know they are binned, but you still have the silicon lottery. I mean with the RTX line nvidia is actually selling prebinned chips that are broken up in to 3 categories. Low, mid, high. The way most of these are binned is they look at the voltage requirements ar a given frequency... which...

Msi boards have never been anything special. I will just stick with Asus, gigabyte, and asrock.

The shame is that if they did this properly with a full cover block and a 240mm rad the temps on the card would be 35-40c max (unless your ambient room temp is really high) For example I have a 1080ti atm in my 8700m rig and with custom water it stays in the 28-32c range under full load... when...

At 1080 the cpu would not be the bottleneck, but at 720p it might very well be. Even if CPU usage is only 50 to 70% if you have a single core being maxed out chances are that is the one handling draw calls which is a CPU bottleneck, but again that would only apply to 720p imo. A 3770 and 1050...

It isn't that AMD optimizes them better out of the gate... the problem was the 14 and 12nm process were more geared towards low power chips... so you had a pretty hard cap on the OC outside of extreme cooling and voltages. We will see where 7nm ends up, but the process shrink alone should add...

That same person would more than likely be willing to pay someone or order from one of the many sites that build custom machines. So in that scenario there would be better options. I mean... personally I upgrade every couple of years and hand down my current system... this means I have a lab...

I wouldn't even use a kingpin unless I was going to use LN2. I would go with an EVGA 2080ti FTW3 with a water block. Still cheaper and a much better overall setup. I mean the only thing better on the matrix is the memory OC, but a 100mhz is nothing when it comes to OC.. these things have been...

NVIDIA has always done really good with drivers except for a few hiccups. If you use their software to deliver drivers or download them from the site you will see you have to select the card... that is because they work hard to have drivers increase performance and while some newer cards have...

This card is pretty pointless and just a marketing/hype ploy. Water cooling does have some major advantages when it comes to cooling PC components, but this card isn't actually utilizing a single one of them. Cramming a liquid cooling solution on to the actual GPU is a terrible idea. It just...
