I forgot how loud the 2080s were. Holy cow that’s a lot of fan when it’s running full bore.

yep (tbh this model was defective but it spun up to about 5k rpm)

Holy crap, that sounds like a GeForce 5800.

Fan go brrrrrrrrrrr

I upgraded from a 2080 to a 4080 super and was blown away by how quiet (and cool!) it is.

One of the machines we had at the office had two blower style 2080s in them and it was unbearable to be near 😂

Yeah, I was running some tests on some older cards today, and it was shocking when I dropped the 2080 in there.

there's a reason I put mine on water

This is random but seeing this made it pop into my head. Could you do as techpod episode about the insane complexity of getting video out over usb-c on laptops. Everything has the same name and half the time doesn't work, it's ridiculous.

Oh, I didn’t know about this. I don’t ever use an external monitor with a laptop so I’ll take a look at it.

It was a crazy decade, for sure

jasonxbergman.bsky.social•39 days ago

no kidding. I still have a 2080ti in one of my PCs, and that thing sounds like a jet engine!

Only thing I miss from that generation are the USB-C ports. Whyyyyy can't Nvidia bring those back???
