dont really have access to something like a Whisper M. so cant exactly do that. 

 

and it can certainly be overloaded. 

yeah i can see that system being able to overload it. 

 

Yeah and without even trying at all believe me.

 

Really just normal gaming....

 

Put my overclocks on the GPU.... And well a 750W is really pushing it.

As per usual, you seem to have the impression that everyone will shove 500W into their GPU for a couple extra frames in whatever game they're playing.

What the hell do you think a lot of these people are doing with these GPUs....?

 

You obviously aren't following what has been going on...

 

Most of us are pushing them for all we can get out out them in testing, running benchmarks etc....

 

Not just gaming.....

 

I have my 3rd one coming soon... I RMAed 2 of them... ;)

I'm talking about the average consumer buying a new GPU to play games, not about the average dude on the EVGA forum.

Most people have never run a benchmark in their life, you've got to realise that.

I have been doing it myself since the mid 90's.... I have blown up a lot of GPUS since then.

 

There are a lot of us out there.

 

If I can get one that OCs well on air and lasts I will put it under water.

I'm not denying or contesting what you are doing with your own hardware. I'm just saying that you, or most people on this forum or the EVGA forum or whatever, are not the general, average consumer.

MOST of the really AVE customers don't have them yet... ;)

 

That will be next year once supply gets better.

 

It's people like me that have them now for the most part. 🙂

 

Like I said I RMAed 2 of them already..... 3rd one coming soon, hoping this one will really do something and last. 1st one went bad, 2nd one was a mistake, wasn't a new card and sucked for memory OC anyway, was good on the core, held the clocks, 3rd one on the way.

 

Like my 2080Ti FTW3 Ultra did, it's a monster.... Never had to put it under water, it is that good..... Was at near the top of the leader board awhile with it awhile back before the LN2 guys showed up etc.
