The card seems to be working properly. Have you looked at you case fans and positions for airflow? Can you add more ? Is the hot air coming out of the card being properly removed from the case or getting recirculated and fed back to the card? Or hot air from CPU cooler? How's the CPU...

You have the choice to buy whatever make of processor you want to, for whatever reason. You seem to have made a decision- it seems that you doubt your choice. Why do you think your decision is wrong? How would you feel if you bought the intel against your own opinion? You'd justify your original...

What are you wasting time for with this nonsense? Does it do what you want from it? Answer yes means go play your games, you're wasting game time. However the very fact that you check AND seek reassurance from others that it is good enough kind of hints at something else.

Don't get upset but it is a genuine 2080? GPU-Z v2.12.0 will test.

why not have a little fun? ask for original pics (taken by themselves) from the seller- to see what they send. Ask for a pic to be the card with the box / packaging they'd send it in (to avoid publicity an review pics). You might get pics of a real card, or more likely get a laugh.

As an all round generalisation I think you might as well toss a coin as they take turns at being slightly better at different things. However if you disclose what you will be running on what resolution then perhaps one may edge ahead of the other- but without specific info you can only get...

You don't have to have 2 fans front and 2 fans back. More fans running = more noise. What is needed depends on how much heat will be generated- what are the games you will play? wrt air pressure get air filters- if you don't have any filters, both positive (more inflow than outflow) and...

More info needed first. what games do you play? What monitor do you have (60/120Hz Gsync)- that makes a BIG difference on what you could buy to have an effect on your gameplay experience.

what is the hsf chosen- me asking, not you advertising

love the aesthetics as well as the specs!
