So you think will end up with a Thermi 3.0 ?
 

 

  The good old 400 series...

Honestly, I am 100% speculating. The cooler may be able to spread the heat out enough to keep everything under 70c.

I am hoping nvidia put in thermosters to be able to monitors the tensor core and RT core temps as well.

If not, I wonder how people are going to know what overall temps are, or will they be limited to only monitoring the Shader core section?

All posts have had the Title updated to reflect the change the OP made to it

I don’t know. I don’t want to make people skeptical, and I am no engineer, so I could just be overthinking the hell out of this.

But, I am more curious then anything and no one seems to directly know for sure, so it just makes me even more curious.

I think people are already skeptical and pretty much dissatisfied with the 2080 performance, but would like the 2080ti performance at a better price point. I am also curious on the half of the card that's been
 
raved by Nvidia is going to perform when completely utilized. I do think you bring up a pretty good point and may be the very reason why there is a card but no way to test/use the technology yet.

So, I tried to get back on here last night and couldn’t access the forums. I thought about it again lol.

The only cards that would have anything to worry about would be the founders cards. The AUB cards typically utilize heat pipes.. the heat pipes over the shader modules would be separate from the tensor cores and RT cores, so the heat pipes on the other half would be separately handling the heat generated.

The vapor chamber cards and blower cards coming out seem to be a little more worrisome if at all. Would the vapor chamber become saturated with all of the heat generated from all three core sets...

I would still be very interested to see the tests on the coolers to know if the RTX cores, now usable and available, generate any extra heat in game.  I am not 100% sure it would have any impact at all, but I am super curious.  Sadly, RTX is still in it's infant state, so we aren't seeing it utilized at its full potential.  Maybe someday.  
 
Can anyone with an RTX card give it a shot and see if there is any thermal impact at all with RTX on versus off?  I don't have any reward to give other than maybe a digital high five... 

In the end, it could honestly end up being nothing and have no impact. I am just super curious

Glad the 2080 Ti Kingpin will come with an aio on it.

Sometimes I wonder if you have more money than sense.

Don't worry about what I spend my money on.

 
This.
 
What someone else finds worth buying isn't up to anyone but that person.....

I'll throw in my $0.02 here. 
 
I have a pair of RTX2080ti FE cards that I use for HPC and Deep Learning. I really like these cards so far and the bonus that NVLink helps in these applications is just the cherry on top. 
 
Since I use them in Linux for compute applications, my "tuning" comes from using the NVidia core libraries and tools like nvidia-smi directly. The FE cards can be set from the factory with a maximum TDP of a scorching 325 watts! They default to 260w. The coolers they ship with do a surprisingly good job. The cards will stay in GPU boost clock for quite high loading as a result. They absolutely scream at some tasks, more than any other GPU i've been able to lay hands on.
 
Fortunately, they seemed to have built the VRM's and everything else to function well. 
 
In compute loads, I can definitely run the tensor cores at full bore. 
 
Curiously, I generally set them to limit clock and tdp well below their maximums. They don't have ECC vram as do the Quadro GV100 data center Tesla Volta cards (at 6x the cost). I haven't been able to determine any errors in my early testing. But error rates tend to go up with higher clocks. A sparkle or two in games is one thing, data error in HPC is another altogether. 
 
The Titan V is a bit of a mystery to me. It does a good job, but falls behind the RTX2080ti on a number of tasks. For whatever reason, it is clock restricted in the driver for compute loads. It stays very cool, I can't even hit thermal or power limits in compute mode on the Titan V, but I can nail it on the 2080ti.
