sometimes waiting 90 days to watch the initial tests provides value. i wonder if it will affect valuation of ebay cards?
Basically anytime the "automatic" boost engages there's a percentage chance of this happening on certain cards. Doesn't really affect Founders edition as they went for the high end power filtration. Some cards have the higher end power filtration and will be "better" or in spec cards than others. Maybe luck of the component draw.
Per the Jayz2cents video, a -50mhz max clock or (unclear on voltage) or just dropping the maximum power the card can draw to below 300w can have stabilizing effects, with the commensurate loss of maybe 5%?(there's a german website where they explore undervolting and underclocking a 3080 and the perfromance loss amounts to about 5-10% but 270w vs 320w power draw.)
3 weeks and a couple days to see if amd will have anything competitive.
