That's not too bad. You're lucky you live in colder climates. Personally prefer being cooler than warm, weathers wise lol. Though I guess you guys also have extreme summers. Like ours is hot but nowhere near 40c and over. I suppose it depends on how comfortable you are with with raising ambient temperature and power usage. It does look like this is one generation that the 90 series is going to be a quite substantial leap over the 80 series so it may be worth the extra wattage. Especially if you want to max out with RT and stuff at 4K with decent performance. I'm leaning more towards the 7 series myself but I can't say I'm not tempted by the 4080 lol. |
Yea our summers can get crazy hot for a week or two before it cools off. Generally it's never too bad but last year was awful.
Yea the main thing I really want is that core count. The wattage isn't the worst thing in the world cause you can undervolt it and lose like 5% of the performance while massively decreasing the power consumption.
So if it does become too unbearable, there is always that choice. But we will see. Personally I do think the 4080 FE will be around 350 watt and not 400+ out of the box if it does have 10,000sh cuda cores. I think Kopite mainly gets his info from AIBs and not directly from Nvidia based on his numbers. But we will see how it turns out.
