Thanks for replies, I think I will experiment a bit with fan curves to see if I can get temperature a bit lower. I was leaning towards the view that you guys have that it's not going to make a massive difference, so thanks again!

Hi all recently bought a pre-built PC, and it came with a ZOTAC RTX 2080 Ti Blower 11G Fan. I wasn't able to specify what exact model of GPU i would get, I just selected a 2080 ti. This card is sitting in a large Cooler master h500, which has 2 large case fans on the front. Do you guys think a blower style card is a big mistake on this build? I've read that axial fan models are better for big cases with good airflow. But how much of a difference in performance would I actually see? I'm not intending on overclocking the card, and when it's under load it's getting up to 83/84 degrees C. Is this acceptable or am I losing a lot of performance because it's running so hot? Quite new to this whole thing so happy to be educated, thanks!
