I completely agree with you. I don't need influencers to form an opinion though, unlike what you seem to be alluding to.

I've said RTX was shit *during* the GDC Keynote, before it dawned upon most people here or even Linus himself. No I don't need a cookie for that, just to illustrate my point. I've even said long before Turing launch that this gen would likely be a tiny jump in performance and I predicted when RTX was first announced that they were going to sell Turing on this feature alone. And all on this very forum too, so you can scan my post history to verify everything.

Crystal ball or common sense, you decide.

Either way, good call. I also had a bad feeling about Turing - just the way NVIDIA was acting about reviews and such, something smelled bad.

No need for all this anyways. Just use Speedfan and have each designated motherboard header on an individual fan curve based on CPU/GPU temps (or both). Can even turn your fans right off when the system is idle, or under low loads. Speedfan is such a hidden gem and so underrated.

nope, syncing a case fan with the gpu fans makes a lot of sense. for example one front intale front fan and one intale bottom or one intake and one output fan synced with the GPU header. Due to fan-stop technology neither will run of the gpu is idle ensuring you can run your more silently if ie only the cpu is under load. I have the 1070 strix with the same feature and its very nice to have this.

I have a Silverstone fortress inverted Mobo case and it's unnecessary.

Funny. Linuxtechtips.com might actually be a good idea for a parody site, where Linus actually does something useful and is incredibly boring.

Rushed launch and technical problems? I'm no hardware engineer, but I still can't fathom what technical problems would occur which result in the fan header, and the fan header alone, being absent, while the traces and "related SMT components" remain present.

This whole launch seemed... unusual to me. Never before have I seen a product hyped so much... and then came the delays and outcry over things like the review guidelines and language in the NDA (while others posited that such was the norm, I don't follow that kind of thing to know).

Pretty sure the idea behind the fan headers is to sync RGB LEDs not sure why a GPUs temps should determine case fans speed.

GPU is one of the two biggest contributors - if not the biggest - to the air temperature inside the case. Controlling case airflow based on GPU heat is a good way to address that.

I have yet to have a motherboard that it worked with properly. But then again, the motherboards have all had the ability to set fan curves in the BIOS so it wasn't really a loss.

The RTX 2080ti is the only card worth buying if your running a 10 series and want a genuine upgrade.
The Ray tracing was bullshit, lets all be honest, but the speed of the card itself is great and having jumped from a Strix 1080ti to a Strix 2080ti I am seeing between 25-35% increases depending on the application/game.
The bitterest most toxic posts come from those who simply cannot afford the card, that is the reality, because anyone who can afford one and has bought one will be happy with them, the odd early batch artefact issue aside - all of whom would have had new cards.

My card overclocks to 1815mhz and 14800 on the memory, just shy of the level the Matrix version does (slightly higher) the Strix is a blistering card, looks nicer than the matrix I think and oozes quality - though it should for the price.
Nvidia do have a case to answer for the lack of ray tracing titles and my guess is the 3000 series will be the cards that shine with ray tracing.
