INNO3D reveals liquid cooled Geforce RTX 2080 Ti ICHILL Black

Having seen the new FE cooler I think it is fair to say that to get the absolute most out of this you need liquid.I hope we see a resurgence of AIO adaptors for GPUs. We were headed there, then Nvidia released the 1080 and 1070 and they were tiny and thus very cool.

I must say one thing I am looking forward to seeing is just how hot loading up those Tensor core things makes the GPU. I do recall them saying Metro was a cooker...
 
so it´s basically like AVX on intel cpu´s where enabling and really using it will result in thermal throtteling? :)


i have some strange feeling about this first generation of RTX cards.
i would not be too surprised if we see some pretty annyoing stuff.


it´s not based on anything factual... just a feeling that something is not right in nvidia land.


and i say that as a nvidia owner since the original geforce... but i am not a fanboy.
it´s just that the nvidia drivers always worked better with the kind of software i use.

In the simplest terms just think of it as a cluster of large cores to do certain tasks, that get very VERY hot.

That is probably factually inaccurate, but I am just trying to simplify it.

Remember after Fermi we had Kepler? well most of Kepler was small, cool and used little power. Nvidia reserved their big heavy guns to stop GPUs getting very hot and needing to be quite large. Plus things like DP were hardly being used any way, and just added to the core.

So you can expect RT, when it is doing its thing, to make a GPU very hot indeed. Mostly because it will be a bigger die going at it 100%.

it was not an actuall question... more a gibe. :)



we work with tensorflow at my job.

i am not directly working with tensorflow myself but i know these cores are specialized for deeplearning etc.


my problem is that like AVX it basically makes the given TDP meaningless.
