@Hilbert Hagedoorn Hi, in overclocking section you mention +33% power target. Does that imply TUF has 600W BIOS, just like FE? Thanks.

Awesome review , well done. Thank you for the in depth reviews @Hilbert Hagedoorn .
Lovely and nice looking video card. If i was to buy one i would get this one 100% for sure 🙂

For TUF that should be the case yes. For FE I doubt you get the full Wattage, we measure it at ~425W TGP x1.33 = 565W.

2.5Kg 🙂

This is the one I'm getting, though not the OC version 🙂 Looks pretty good, at least in Silent mode.
@Hilbert Hagedoorn - Isn't it a bit odd that the boost clock is the same in Silent and Gaming mode? One would expect a higher clock speed in Gaming mode, otherwise there's no real point?
Unwinder
The only difference between Silent and Gaming modes for most of vendors today is a fan curve.

Look at FLIR images. Do you see it? If not LOOK AGAIN! If that does not concern you I don't know what will.

You mean power adapter hotspot?
Netherwind
I'm used to lower temps meaning higher clocks but I assume things have changed?
Yea you're right, that does look a bit strange.
Edit - I checked the FLIR images of all reviews and every card has the same hotspots to different degrees, except the Colorful card which is a bit odd.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn - sorry, one more question. Regarding acoustics you mentioned 36-37 dbA in the text but the graph says 39 dbA. Which is it?

No, you will still have clocks being slightly reduced the warmer the chip gets.

LOL finally 4K 120 on high.

That's why I don't understand why the clocks are identical on both pictures (Silent and Performance):

Cause it happens at 50c, 60c, 70c, 80c - the difference between silent and performance in hilberts test is 64c and 67c - so both within the same range, and therefore no difference in frequency 🙂
Netherwind
Well, that indeed sounds logical 🙂

Yes hot power cables, it's not that they are getting hot, it also means power is getting lost!

It looks like nVidia screwed their partners over.
ASUS and others can overbuild their cards, but with voltage adjustments locked, tweaking power limits won't do much.
There's simply very little incentive to pay extra for the card features, like power delivery, cooling, etc, which you won't use. At the same time FE editions are hard to get.
Maddness
Voltages have been locked at a certain limit for years on both Nvidia and AMD cards. Even the really high end ones like Kingpin, Hoff and Toxic.

It has two HDMI 2.1 connectors, not one.
