  • With used graphics card prices starting to fall I decided to see what aging high end offerings I could find second hand, and one such card I came across was the PNY RTX 2080 Super.
    It turns out that this GPU isn't as common as other models, but is it as good, and how well doe sit perform these days?

    I always liked the idea of blower-style GPU coolers. It makes a lot of sense to dump the heat of your potentially hottest component outside of the case, and I bet that you can optimize the case pressure and fan curve to a point where the blower card is not significantly hotter or noisier than traditional two or three fan cards.

    I kinda wish there was more "blower" / "turbine" style cards. I mean, this type of cooler design was basically created for tiny & small PCs. Some time ago, there was this trend for "console killer" PC. The Blower style cooler works independent from your "inside the case" fans. It sucks the air from the side, and then blows it directly out of the PC (back of the gpu, where HDMI ports are). So it does not interfere with your CPU & PSU cooling.
    Seeing current trends of "ITX gaming PC", I have no idea why this type of cooler is no longer used, especially for mid-range GPUs, that do not produce a lot of heat.

    • @JeredtheShy
      @JeredtheShy 2 года назад +13

      The cooling perfomance on them is adequate, but poor, yet they also tend to be louder than comparable non-blower cards thanks to the fan style, single fan, and the need for higher fan speeds to get decent cooling. Thus, even in the ITX gaming PC trend they aren't desirable.

      I wholly agree with you!
      You can also do interesting things with them, such as the single slot Galax 1070 Katana. (Damn I want one so bad.)
      The problem though, is gaming journalists. These kinds of cards always got slapped with "HOT AND LOUD".
      This caused manufacturers to not put any real money into the heat sink design, so it was sh!t, and this contributed to the "HOT AND LOUD" as the card was forced to rely harder on brute force with the blower fan rather than effective heat sink design.
      Eventually, especially after the 20 series when nV officially abandoned blowers for the FE and reference, the design was truly relegated to the annals of history, and not fondly remembered as everyone still only ever thinks of "HOT AND LOUD", and not their potential advantages.
      Never mind that the 1070 Katana, which had a much thinner profile to worry about, was able to run modest temps and noise with the mid-range 1070 under the hood, and even the 5700XT, the last mainstream card offered in a mainstream blower, was able to achieve sane thermals and noise once AMD's poor design decisions (woeful contact pressure in particular) were corrected.
      I very much want blowers back. Especially for the lower power mainstream parts. At least as an OPTION.
      They might not be for everyone, but they deserve to exist.
      Edit: Why are people upvoting this massive heap of misinformative trash?

    I’ve used ‘Blower’ design gpus a few times in the past and been quite happy with their performance and noise levels overall. I’ve used a GTX1080ti, GTX980Ti, GTX980, GTX690 over time in a couple gaming rigs. As stated in this video, ‘Blower’ designs generally are noticeably cheaper than every other design out there and yield the same performance, just at a slightly higher temp and a little more fan noise. If you give them a little additional airflow via a case fans, this can make a noticeable difference with a ‘Blower’ designs overall temperatures.

  • @jomeyqmalone
    @jomeyqmalone 2 года назад

    I have a 2080ti blower card, the MSI Aero version. There are a couple of things to look out for with blower cards in addition to the things you mentioned. First, the BIOSes of these cards tend to be very restrictive in terms of maximum power draw. That can limit your overclocking options, so it's best to actually undervolt the GPU, which can also get you better speeds, quieter operation, or both. The second issue (which does not seem to be the case on your card) is that some like mine are based on a quadro PCB designs rather than a gaming/founders edition one. That means the power connections are on the back rather than the top of the card, which is usually better for servers. In addition to requiring a longer case to allow room for those connections, it also means that very few if any aftermarket heatsinks or waterblocks will be compatible. I was fortunate to find a waterblock for mine that had only passive heatsink fins in that area which I cut away with an angle grinder.
    If you find a good deal on one of these cards, but don't want the blower noise, adding a heatsink like an Arctic accelero extreme iv will actually make it essentially the quietest card out there. It will cost about $40 extra though, (and take up a huge amount of space) so factor that in when considering your options

    I have one of these in Blower models (HP OEM). It has a beefy copper heatsink inside the blow-chamber, so It's quite a heavy little brick of a card. Runs perfectly fine.
    Try to undervolt it. You can get it pretty low voltage/temps @stock clocks. Meaning you might get it down to 65c, even at stock (quiet) fan curve, so will run quiet at that temp. I also estimate 60c is possible with 50-55% fan speed when undervolted pretty well @stock clocks (20-22c ambient)
    The 2080S is still a great GPU. It performs as the 3060 Ti +/-

    Looks like a very-good video card, especially for Halo Infinite! I'm saving up so I can get an upgrade for the video. I currently have a GeForce GTX 1660 Super, which OCs well. But been wondering if it's going to be too slow for Halo Infinite or not. That's what I'm focusing on, so I plan to get nothing higher-end than a Radeon RX 6600 XT, months down the road!

  • @ilcilc2910
    @ilcilc2910 2 года назад

    I believe you can get some effective after-market cooling for most blower GPUs since they tend to be at least based on manufacturer reference PCB. I believe "ARCTIC" is one of the more reputable brands that makes after-market GPU coolers both air and AIO water coolers. This should boost performance quite bit even at stock clocks.

  • @Blue967
    @Blue967 2 года назад

    Glad that you were able to get one at least. For cooling, if that blower-style raises some suspicions to you, you can always count on EK and their water blocks for it. Just a custom loop with soft tubing and some thought in it and you have a pretty cool 2080 Super. Finally able to play whatever your heart wants! Anyway, more than 60 FPS is not necessary... and is very hard to distinguish between more FPS, especially if you played a lot of games only for the story on crappy hardware just giving a big large F to those medium or high system requirements necessary to play the game.
    About proper cooling, do keep in mind that only the heat can kill electric components.
    On that note, nice piece of gold, take good care of it.

It now runs smoothly in my SFX rig. I think I struck gold with the purchase as I only ended paying approximately 400 EUR for the card itself and an additional 100 EUR for the aftermarket cooling.

    I have the same style pny 2060 super. Got it right at the beginning of the pandemic, before the prices kicked off like crazy ($330 I believe, when they were still selling retail for $400). Great card when undervolted on a custom power curve and fan curve; still hit the same frequencies as other 2060 supers and I even have it in a nzxt h510, so it's managing that all with pretty sub par airflow. Dialed it in to hover at 80C at a full sustained load

    I bought a Zotac RTX 2080 blower card in early 2021 and it was all around a great experience. I had it in a very compact mATX build so that it exhausted hot air right out of the case was an asset. They are a little nosier than a high end triple fan card, but again the benefit of ejecting hot air out of the case and with a bit of an undervolt they run cool enough to not notice the fan noise in most situations. If you can get a blower card for a good deal in this economy, its absolutely worth the compromise if you get a good price.

    I have the MSI RTX 2080 Super Ventus XS OC paired with an i9 10900KF both water cooled and I think it's cool that you're testing an RTX 2080 Super. My RTX 2080 Super Ventus XS OC is overclocked with a core clock that can hit 2,025mhz and memory clock that can hit 9,000mhz at 576gbs memory bandwidth depending on the game. It can handle Doom Eternal at 9,000mhz memory clock so far without crashing but other games crash.

But i just never ended up getting that water block and ended up just using it the way it is. The only problem is the fan is unbalanced and vibrates audibly at around 80% fan speed and above. But i just keep it under that and its served me well for years now.
