If they're going to build a card that is more expensive than a 3090, then it should at least outperform a 3090. For .2 frames over a stock 3080 Ti, it's not worth the money. You can pick up .2 frames yourself using MSI Afterburner on a stock 3080 Ti, with no money spent. JayzTwoCents did a brief overview of the EVGA FTW3 card that actually outperformed a 3090 in some games, and is about $170 LESS than a 3090.
 
So.
Is 95 to 98 C is normal for the VRAM ?
For GDDR6X, hitting peak temperatures of more than 100C is quite common. Spec lists 105C as the max, but I don't know what that measures compared to what the GPUs report. Anyway, if a bunch of other cards hit 102-104C max while gaming, and 110C while mining, then a card that only hits 96C gaming and 102C mining is indeed better.
Looks like the specs graph has the AMP listed as the FE.
Fixed, thanks.

It's actually so much worse than the review lets on; at least for anyone hoping to overlock this. The card is advertised as having a 10% power boost taking it into the 375w region - this is false. It's totally disabled by the firmware. You can't ever get the numbers advertised for this card without flashing another manufacturer's bios, which is a hell of a risk.
