Best 3060ti / 3070ti manufacturer temps

[Joyfie]

Hey ho everyone!

 

I'm building a new rig, mostly with thermals in mind.  I'm settled on all of my components, but I'm struggling to understand the difference in GPUs.

 

I've never really understood what differs between manufacturers, and say the FE edition cars, other than price/coolers etc.  Having read an watched a lot on 3070ti temps, is this just something endemic on the board design itself, or has any brand actually done a good job at designing a cooler that keeps the VRM / Memory under 90c.

 

Is a cheaper PALiT 3060ti card such as: https://www.novatech.co.uk/products/palit-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3060ti-dual-8gb-gddr6-graphics-card/ne6306t019p2-190ad.html that much different from a 3060ti FE?  The specs are the same on paper, or will this just mean running into big problems down the line getting a cheaper brand card.

 

Good thermals are a big concern of mine, mostly due to extended lifespan.  Only game on a rig, and my case thermals are excellent, so really just looking to solve this piece of the puzzle.

 

Thanks for the input!

I won't worry much about temp if you get a 3060 ti with 3 fans design,it TDP is only 200 watt ,or if you want to saving cost ,get a 2 fans card from EVGA(inside US),MSI or Asus outside the US.

On the other hand ,for the 3070 ti get the best card you can(I suggest go with MSI Suprim X) ,with 300 watt TDP and GDDR6X,it's much hotter than the 3060 ti,also don't overclock the Vram on the 3070 ti because GDDR6X tend to get hotter than GDDR6.

Watching out for low temps isn't an issue nowadays. Running a card at 85°C instead of 70°C might knock off 1-2 years of its lifespan but its lifespan is like 15 years or so. You'll end up changing out your GPU way before it goes bad, laptop GPUs run at 85°C all the time at full load and they can last for as long as you have the laptop

That's super helpful, thank you! I was looking around for a chart like this, but wasn't able to find a decent one that compared the 3rd party cards.  Cheers mate!

Aye, have decided to just go with the ROG Strix 3070ti - In some ways I don't want to spend the extra cash, but if it will be 5 years before I change my card again, it's kind of worth the investment.  Cheers mate!

True, I know heat tolerance isn't so much of an issue these days, but pushing it as low as I can not only gives me piece of mind, I feel like it will just give an overall more consistent performance if I can keep everything as low as I can without waterblocking everything.  Thank you!
