Smexy as hell!

The problem with cards like this is cost, it makes sense on the top models but lower models puts the pricing too close to the next tier, why buy a beefed up 2080 for the same price as a entry level 2080ti.

because of throttling. there are ppl that have more fps with a water cooled 2080(s) than with a ti. or in my case, because i want the heat from the gpu to be dumped outside the case, to lower gpu/cpu/case temps, and run everything inaudible without negative impact on temps (at least on low load). LC 2080 (S) can now be had from 7-850, so not anywhere close to ti price.
