My question and thoughts are geared at the high-end market of cards that come with lifetime warranties.
Of course a card with a one year warranty I can see the point, cards with these lifetime warranties I don't really see anything especially if companies are saying the cards performance is going to be just fine.
Many people I see that are buying higher end vid cards that even carry a lifetime warranty are still buying aftermarket coolers like Zalmans and Artic cooling.
According to Evga they're telling me temps on cards with stock coolers are fine.
Ok so they'll be fine, then why are people wasting their money buying after market coolers if they're going to be fine, run fine etc...?
We all know heat robs performance, and Evga is telling me anything under 90c is ok, then what is Evga saying here, that from either the 60s, 70s, or 80s there is not going to be any difference in performance? Any of those temps, card performance will be the same all the way across the board, and if so, then getting back to my original question, then why are people wasting money here on aftermarket coolers?
It makes no sense...
ALOHA
P.S. I forgot to address these issues as why most people will use them then:
Overclocking
Quieter fans
Anything else?
