Nvidia not providing specifications for old GPUs
Nvidia not providing specifications for old GPUs
All I wanted to know was the maximum safe temperature :'(

Can't let people know they were actually almost as powerful as the current overpriced silicon.

3080 mobile is "old"?
-
All computing devices companies should be required to have sites as detailed as Intel’s ark site and going back in time to the very first product.
-
85°C is usually the limit for longevity. 100°C should cause most processors to throttle back. I haven't seen my RTX 3060 get much above 70°C
-
No offence, but this is useless advice and exactly the reason why I wanted official data. “Usually”s and “Shoulds” don’t help. Especially for a completely different graphics card.
-
The values they gave are typical for most electronics of this nature,
many things are different between different cards, but they're built using the same materials and components with the same limitations -
You can water cool it and then it'll always be below temp 😅
-
Hire an engineer then?

I foolishly bought one of the first multi-GPU cards, the HD4870X2 (I think Radeon?). Apart from almost no game using two GPUs and most just straight up not working, that thing ran hot like a smelter. I got that thing regularly over 105°C, and around 90°C seemed like it's normal working temperature. Not overclocked, still lasted almost two years. Which, back then, was when you're GPU was outdated anyways. I love that I can still play almost everything I want with a 2080 nowadays.

Pretty sad that the dual/tripple/quadruple GPU thing was never made feasable :-( Now we have one GPU that's the size of an ACU.

I picked up a 4070 right before the new models came out and I really love it. I went to look at the current pricing, and it's not available anymore. It's ridiculous.

Sadly this doesn’t have max safe operating temp
-
At least there are other sites with the specs EDIT: Can't find the temperatures on other sites, try looking at CPU-Z or CPU-X if you are on Linux
-
I would’ve liked some sort of official source, since other sites may have errors. (Of course the Nvidia page could contain errors, too, but I assumed they’d be more scrutinized than page number 328 which scrapes these details.)

Does archive have a copy of what you need? They are probably trying to protect themselves from their own making... Ai scraping
