Is the reason for the lack of mem and power temp information strictly a hardware limitation on this card?

    No, it’s a “cheaper” product limitation. The XC3 is not the top tier card, so they don’t put all of the extra hardware into it. It is a cost saving method for the user and the manufacturer.

    Thanks.. it hit me after I posted, the market this as ICX cooling but the higher end have ICX cooling and ICX technology.  They just left the technology off of these.  I have the 3090 on my system and the 3070 in my older system. It really made me feel like I went too cheap on that one when I pulled up HWINFo and saw so much less info. LOL

    Lol! Yeah, I was confused by the naming of ICX cooling and ICX technology, but it has been this way for a couple of years now, so it becomes easier over time to understand the naming scheme and differences.

    Yeah , they really should remove the "icx" from just the cooling versions to make it way less confusing for the buyers.
