Those blower cards are great if you undervolt them, they run almost at the same frequency but rarely get to more than 65C with good levels of noise, so if you see one for sale at a good price take it, its worth it.

I got a 2070 Gaming X in spring 2020 because at the time it was cheaper than a 5700XT and I knew supply issues were going to become a concern.

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.

[@crazyflaps169]

Blower style cards usually aren't the best in most situations, in my previous system I ran two 980 ti's blower style in SLI. They ran very hot and I was grateful to own a pair of noise cancelling headphones.

[@chronic_hemphog]

​@@crazyflaps169 Dear lord, seems 980s were just screamers in general. My old Galax SOC one is a lot louder than my blower 1080 lol (and uh, my 980 is a triple fan card with fresh thermal paste etc). Blower cards are great when the OEM doesn't cheap out on the heatsink and the system has adequate case cooling/airflow (looking at you there Asus Turbo 960. Mine got hella loud and toasty)

@@davisbradford7438 Holy shit, just done a quick search for the 1070 Katana. Fuck that is one thin pcb

[@Tommy_The_Gun]

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]

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.

[@BBoySnakeDogG]

I've seen blower 3060s and I want one so bad for a "console" PC for the living room

[@FerralVideo]

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?

[@tomdillan]

When I had a founder edition gtx 1070, I turned my pc case upwards so the heat would rise easier. Doing so it dropped it a couple degrees, you could always look for an aftermarket cooler.

[@michaelthompson9798]

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.

[@Wushu-viking]

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 +/-

That is actually somewhat of a decent deal considering the todays market, lets hope and pray crypto will crash a bit more. Are you running win 10 or 11 atm?

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

[@malthusg1115]

This looks like a cracking card for the money in today's market and a decent 1080p and 1440p card for a good few years. Good find.

[@greenwizz8623]

im impressed with temps on this card, i tested turbo versions too and they were sitting at 80+ casually under load, but i had them in the case not in the open

[@1pcfred]

I would consider a 2080 Super a top tier card still. Sure it is a generation behind but it's still a high end card.

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

I got a Dell RTX 2080 Super 8GB for $299 NEW still wrapped up which was nice. I know it's a blower card, but I've had lots of blower cards over the years and I have no issues with them. I also have six 120mm fans with fan filters in my computer which really helps.

[@BillyBoy444]

I think you got a good deal. I paid 699 for my 6700 XT new and it's about similar performance so a good saving although prices are coming down a bit now

[@TinyBearTim]

I swear nvidia sells 3060 or newer cards for less

[@thefightscout]

@@TinyBearTim the 3060 are in between a 2070 and 2070 super, the 6700xt is actually slower than the 2080super

[@silvert177]

Funny, I just bought on of these recently at about the same price converted to AUD. I use it for my ultrawide monitor. Does a lot better than my 1070. It's worth noting that you can easily add +1000 to the memory as nvidia put 16GB/s memory modules on the card but only certified their boards for 15.5GB/s, so it's an easy boost to performance. The same unfortunately cannot be said about upping the GPU core clocks tho. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers in this current market.

[@J.Wick.]

I have an HP model that looks near identical to this. Still a solid option for 1440p, and even 4k with some FSR. Mine has served me well for 6yrs now. It's my backup card at this point. But I do still play it occasionally. I didn't thnk it was that loud until I got my 4070ti...that card is near silent. The 2080 Blower is definitely noticable. I put PTM on recently and it helped a bit. But you'll never get it to be silent.

[@AnimanARG]

Im running a 2070super from evga, its called "black" and its a blower style one. Its excelent and i dont regret choosing it over a normal fan one.

[@dominiquevanwyk518]

a fun video would be to see how it performs after fresh thermal paste and pads, that card probably lived a hard live so it should help bring temps and noise down

[@jamegumb7298]

I have a 1U and 2U case, both fitted to take full 2 slots gpu. Blowermodels are ideal in that case. In fact I learned that because the air goes out right away, less heat in the case, slower fans.

[@pumello]

I got myself an Asus RTX 2080 "Turbo" ages ago, because it was quite cheap where i live comparitively, and it had avaliable water blocks. 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.

[@jordandunn7357]

I have the 2080 ti version of the same card. With MSI Afterburner, I can get a nice overclock and keep it cool with manually controlled fan speed. It's loud but the fan can crank up like crazy. Runs very hot if the fan is not manually controlled.

[@chungushimself3712]

Dang man not bad, i got a 2080 super back last october for $700 usd, an MSI Ventus OC, I also happened to get my current daily 3070 for the same, also a Ventus lol. Love it tho the 2080 is a beast too!!

[@denisruskin348]

I and spent 1400$ for a 3080 man… Well, at least selling my Vega 64 for over 500$ made it closer to MSRP. Sick find dude.

[@Sgtcrazyeyes235]

Forza really is a beautifully optimized game, it defaulted my 1080ti to ultra with raytracing on and stayed very close to 60fps at 1440p

[@joe_3105]

Now since GPU prices are steadily falling, I wouldn't consider a blower-style RTX GPU. But the fact that you got it for just £540 and that too a 20-series RTX is soo great.

[@JeffBourke]

im still gaming on it 18 months later. its great.

[@janemba42]

Nice find man glad you got one finally 😊 On a separate note. I will be heavily disappointed if Nvidia doesn't release a Gtx 2022 super edition

[@3r3cut]

I had 2080 non Super for over 3 years. Bought mine for 770€ when its launched. I have couple of videos on my channel with it. I switched to a RTX 3080 Ti for Christmas though. And selled the 2080 for 700€ ^^ The 2080 was amazing. And even today its well suited for 1440p Gaming. And on top of that you also got DLSS support. Which can be a free boost (30% DLSS Q)

[@chadbrick67]

Bought

[@3r3cut]

​@@chadbrick67 Thx. Sry Im german. Its been a while since quarantine that I spoke english. :D

[@koreannom]

JUST prior to the RTX 3000 launch, I purchased a RTX 2080 ti for $1200 AUD (or $900 USD ish at the time) and I have been using it since. I needed to buy it for University and felt bad about the purchase at the time, but in hindsight was one of the most well times purchases I've made haha. If you were wondering why I didn't get something cheaper, it's because the 2080 super was $1100 AUD and nothing else really fit the bill for the 1440p monitor upgrade I was planning.

[@stelgeo]

This is an OEM GPU from Dell/Alienware prebuilts. Seen it for sale online several times over the last couple of years. People were buying the prebuilts just for the GPU, selling the GPU for crazy amounts of money and the rest of the system was sold off for a reasonable amount. Beginner miners paid a fortune for these cards only to later discover that a 2080 super with a blower is not suitable for 24/7/365 mining because it needs a much better cooling system. They would then sell them on for a loss.

[@LiquidSnake690]

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.

[@theroyalaustralian]

3:27 That is one very quiet blower style card, I am probably going to get one for a brand content rendering system in future. My first RX 5700 XT at full tilt was louder by at least 30db

[@RJARRRPCGP]

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!

[@nedvstech5238]

The problem with blower-style graphics cards and the reason they are cheap is that they are meant for pre-built (low to mid-end machines), which means they are heavily restricted in the amount of power that they can produce. There are a bunch of "restrictions" on the card and can't usually be overclocked significantly, if at all.

[@ZinhoMegaman]

I think that a RTX 2080 Super for the price you paid is simple amazing in today's GPU market. I wouldn't care for the Blower type either, I had a X1950 XT in 2007, the average temperature of that thing was 95°C even in colder days and it rechead 105°C sometimes. The fuckinhg card died after 1 and a half year.

[@RedsawSixtySix]

I managed to pick up an Alienware R11 a while ago with a Dell OEM rebranded MSi RTX 2080 Super. found out it had the same PCB layout as the MSi Aero RTX 2080 Super and managed to slap an EKWB waterblock with backplate on 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.

[@adib6498]

why your videos are so calming lol

[@d.b.8684]

Great video as always. I actually have a PNY 1660 super blower style card, would love to get my hands on that 2080 LOL

[@davisbradford7438]

My all time favorite blower card is the GTX 1070 Katana. Galax put a really nice copper heat sink on it and it's only 1 slot!

[@RandomGaminginHD]

Yeah it looks fantastic

[@SamehSyedAjmal]

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

[@Blue967]

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.

[@GreatYamatanoOrochi]

Crossing my fingers that my 1080 lives for a while longer, myself. Nice find

[@SieaGroup]

Im happy that you showed more things on osd

[@cuzr702]

Blower cards have always been the best. They don’t dump hot air inside your case and are easy to replace. They are generally cheaper because that’s what nvidia and amd use to test the cards. So you don’t have to pay for some after market triple fan design. If the wrong fan fails, that’s cooling the memory on a triple fan card it may ruin the card as well.

[@juanme555]

OMG BROTHER, the 2080S FE is also MY dreamcard , its so beautiful and symetrical, its so orderly, that gpu is like industry embodied in a GPU, i feel like American Psycho card scene when i look at it, I NEED IT.

[@DanielNavas1]

Managed to snag one of these for a friends PC for $700 USD in an eBay auction. More than I wanted to pay, but happy I got it for that price too

[@prla5400]

Another great video!

[@smakfu1375]

As the owner of an TUF RTX3080 with Asus's "keep the card as cool as possible at all costs" approach, which basically has the highly effective cooling solution dumping all the heat into the rest of the surrounding case (including the x570 chipset directly beneath the card), I'd actually have liked a blower solution. Instead, I have to ensure a LOT of (negative pressure) case airflow to keep everything else (including my AIO radiator) relatively cool. And when I say it dumps a lot of heat into the case, I mean A LOT (burn your hand on the tempered glass panel hot). I'd really prefer that heat getting directly exhausted out the back of the case by the GPU, not blown out into the case.
