There is a little typo at conclusion part: were can undoubtedly recommend the dual EVO. I've had a few Asus Duals in my possession so far and none of them were this cool. Asus RTX 2080 dual was one of the worst among them with mid 80c degrees during games. But a GTX1070 dual was far more better tough but still hotter than this RX 5700 XT I recon Asus has adjusted something with these coolers or finally they have found their screwdriver to tighten up those screws.:D

Have ASUS fixed the problems with ASUS RGB, Fanspeed, tuning software fighting against AMD wattman? My card goes to 75C with 0 rpm fan, then panics and runs at 3000-4000 rpm down to 50C and turns off the fans till it reaches 75C again. I also had the loose cooler problems like Devid mentions.

Awesome fan behavior. Asus engineers have outdone themselves!

Step curve. Not that rare. Had the same behavior with my ref. XFX 290. 0-90 Celsius = 40% fan 90+ = 100% fan And when it comes to ASUS - the reviewed SKU looks decent, but if my memory serves me OK, ASUS + AMD has been a flaky combo for quite some time.

Mine rarely hit more than low 80s. After installing 2 Corsair ML 140 case fans, never goes above 78c.

Man, the difference Vega, Navi, and Turing all have from DX11 to DX12 compared to Pascal and Polaris is insane.

What a depressing set of stats. I bought a Dell U2711 1440 TEN YEARS ago so defo wish to upgrade my SLI Evga 780's to a 3080Ti or 3090 with a monitor upgrade to a 4K 144Hz monitor and these stats remind me that many of the top games are unlikely to get anywhere near 144 fps with the new NVidia cards. The Microsoft 2020 Flight Sim game might be a tough game but the 1440 & 4K stats with a 2080Ti are dismal. I don't most on Guru3d expect more than a 30% increase in performance. No wonder Hilbert still describes 1440 as the 'sweet spot' but some of us want to progress to a 'sweeter spot'! EDIT: OK, just read HH's review of the Microsoft Flight SIM game and it appears that you can play a flight SIM game at modest FPS but that doesn't change the poor performance with a number of the other games.
