Im more curious about the cooler than the actual performance of the card itself.
Nvidia are supposedly using some sort of vapour chamber tech
But if we check out this random render.
Then you look at pictures of the cooler itself...
Pay attention to the fins in the center of the cooler because despite the first picture of the render show air being expelled by the fan through the fins. Those fins are actually blocked off (marked it in red - ignore the white line, it was supposed to be red but i messed up and cba to fix)
While the cooler design looks more interesting. It also looks less efficient to a certain point. At least with the 2080 and old blower style design air was being pushed through and 'channelled' more efficiently but blower style coolers can only handle so much heat before it comes saturated and the fan becomes super loud.
I really cant get my head around the design other than it possibly being 'disruptive' to the flow of air inside the case and not cooling very well...
The fan furthest from the I/O pushes air DOWN through the heatsink which then gets sucked up by the fans closest to the I/O and partially pushed out of the back of the case - temperatures exacerbated because hot air is being recycled. But if you reverse the fan furthest away from the I/O (which would make more sense and a better idea) that hot air then gets sucked up by your CPU cooler, Though if youre using an AIO it might not effect you so much.
I dont know.... I see the cooler and i just cant work out how its supposed to cool the card efficiently
and then there are pictures of coolers with a 'shroud' on and off...
Like wut.
