Just be careful....the only fans I have ever had to replace were Zotac ones.......three different cards.......
I have been using Zotac GPU's pretty regularly and they have always been great. Zero issues with them. I still have a 670 chugging along.

If you are an Nvidia fan boy and absolutely will not try an AMD gpu at any price.....
Just kiss the ring and buy a 4 series GPU. Way less heat, way less electricity, slightly better performance, better dlss, encoding, raytracing, and all that jazz.
My 3080 was better then free. It made me money. It didn't matter how much it cost. I mined daily and sold weekly or monthly.
The 3 series was a horrible horrible value as well and on an old big 7nm Samsung chip.
The 4 series is better. If you have a problem with the 4 series, then you should have a problem with the 3 series as well.

And the problem most people have with the 40 series is that in general it's not a good improvement over the 30 series [techpowerup.com], especially for the price hikes. Meanwhile, the 30 series 3060 ti is faster than the previous gen 80 class card. [techpowerup.com]
Personally, I can't support the continuation of ripping off gamers, so I'm sticking with my 3080 until the 50 series comes out.

40 dollars more.... I mean it's just a no brainer if you insist on going Nvidia over this. It's more then 50 watts in game and the rtx stuff blah blah blah whatever.
I built an AMD build for my daughter for 1080p really cheap with a 5600 and 6700xt and the performance is amazing for the Hogwarts game and Jedi game and Fortnite and overwatch.
My gf has a 7600x 6950xt build and we play side by side 1440p ultra wide and her build smashes my overcooked 10th series i7 3080 in Hogwarts, the Jedi game, and Fortnite, COD, Battlefield, by a solid 30% or more most of the time and uses a little less power.
I'm really considering selling my 3080 and buying a used 6950xt or 7900xtx...... I would like to get a 4080 but IDK.
I've loved my 3080 but it can't do raytracing in Hogwarts or dead space or the Witcher update on ultra over like 30 fps, and the 10gbs is starting to feel like a problem.
I think it's crazy to go with any of these lower cards over a 6700xt or 6800xt, seeing them side by side in my household. I think you should at least wait for the 7800xt release for maybe a price drop on the Nvidia side.

At a $40 difference, yep that's a no-brainer. Agreed, though, for gaming the AMD camp looks a to be much better bargain.. but you can't reason with Nvidia fanboys. They make one ai generated image, or record themselves for their 100 follower streaming channel and act like they absolutely can't live without Nvidia. Or they heard about AMD driver issues, and despite building a whole PC and troubleshooting everything else, they think they can't handle a tiny bit of software tweaking.
I had a 6700xt prior and I thought it was a great card! The 6900xt & 6950xt both pull a lot of power if you're concerned about that. I had bought both an rtx 4080 and a 7900 XT and they both went back. Hard for me to justify the investment for a 20 fps improvement in the games I play, for example, when they're already running at 100 fps and my eyes can't tell the difference.

3060Ti is a good card too. Only wish it had more VRAM.

The 6950xt and 3080 are about the same tdp. I think the 6950xt is 330w and the 3080 is 320w?
The 6950xt undervolted well to. Her system is pulling around 50w-100w less then mine at the wall but my CPU is probably using allot more power.
Her 7600 and 6950xt has seemed to be doing just fine on a 650w platinum Corsair PSU. Not saying I'm recommending that 😅. I have an 850w Corsair Platinum in mine.
