You’re talking about under 1ms transients? Like.. these don’t matter at all, it’s such a short burst that thermals don’t even have time to be affected and modern PSU can take these easily. If our power systems would not take transients, every fucking device would fry.
Igorslab made a nice article with a good explanation on it.
As for surviving the Nvidia « killer », I’m sure Nvidia shit their pants for a card that has no competition in the market it was proposed for (creators, professionals). This card being that common in gaming rigs is a symptom of the current market, not Nvidia’s proposition as a logical product for gamers.
The size between MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio and MSI RTX 3080 Ti Gaming X Trio are similar.
MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio: 327 x 140 x 55.6 mm
MSI RTX 3080 Ti Gaming X Trio: 324 x 140 x 56 mm
Both AIB OC'ed.
I aint talking about spikes bro, i am talking about constant watt usage.
Naming means nothing for Nvidia, they rename and scramble names all day long to there favor. calling there new 3080 a ti is laughable at best. It doesn't even come close to being it, hell i wouldn't even call a 3090 a ti over the 3080, the 3080ti could have been called a actual 3080ti, if the 3080 was based around the 104 core which is the 3070ti. Its all names to sell there cards to idiots aka casuals. U honestly have people believe a 3080ti is a actual ti while it shares nothing of what a ti stood for, for the last 3 generations if not 4.
Anyway lets move on the next point i made.
2080ti models getting rid of watt limitation.
3090 with just a bios watt unlock. ( it goes as high as 570w from what i saw almost 600w card basically, which is in another universe of what 6000 series was created on, as i can't find a single card pushing anywhere near that )
Sorry, i experienced a lot of cards and frankly unless all this information is complete made up ( which isn't ), i couldn't believe me eyes when i saw that 3090 pushing over 450+ watt, let alone 500w with hitting close to 600w. and that's not peek it straight up stand there and heats the entire fucking room like nothing else on those wattage without breaking a sweat as that thing can handle that cooling perfectly fine on top of it on air. Go push that on a 6900xt see how fast it melts and dies.
U honestly think that nvidia which got praised for its sleek design, good cooling and somewhat decent power output in the last 2 or 3 generations now suddenly decides to make a space heater, size of a space ship exactly what outlets slammed AMD for, for all those years? that fits in no small build case for absolute no reason?
Then about your 3090 is for professional card nonsense. U do realize its the same die right? its a 102. Why did they release a 3080 on the same die as a 3090 and not just go for there 104 solution like they always do?
"nvidia killer"
That's why, because of AMD's RDNA2.
They had to release the 102 for there 3080 model, a cut down 3090, and a 3090 they released as FE edition is still a cut down solution of what could have been which u see when outlets like EVGA start to use the card and its design to its full solution besides the die.
Sorry mate. Nvidia only got the higher ground because they developed a 500w monster of a card to counter RDNA2, that 3090 was never designed as a 350w i don't believe it for a second i 100% believe they they have another chip laying around that is the actual full 3090. And why do i assume this? because the 3080 exists which is a cut down 3090. Why would nvidia however not release it? who the fuck wants a 500w card. nobody.
Which brings me to my original post.
With AMD pushing Nvidia this hard on there first "high end card attempt", i can only imagine what RNDA3 can bring at 500w halo card solution. If i was NVIDIA i would be worried.
