Bad reviews aren't their problem now, it's that people won't pay an extra $400 for incrementally better performance and a missing-in-action feature set.

I would pay it, and I did pay it. I need a bunch for on-prem Deep Learning. My test rig of 4 RTX 2080tis artifacted after about a week of use. I'd like to buy them by the handful but I've not been able to source a reliable supply. Given this new it looks like I may have to wait a lot longer.

I'm in the middle of a similar build, and I'm curious how you got 4 of those to work well right next to each other. Are they FE cards, or some other variant?

I planned on water cooling but I never made it that far. They were FE cards. I do miss blower style but I understand they're hitting limits with it.

Yeah, custom loops seem like an ongoing chore, I was tempted and then gave up on that idea. 1000W is no joke to dissipate, either.

Interesting that FEs are working, I had heard that that configuration was problematic. Have you seen much thermal throttling with them butting up against each other? I was going to resign myself to one blower 1080Ti in slot 1 and then a 2080Ti in 2 and 4, but maybe I don't have to :-)

And much higher wattage, across the entire lineup.
