I also notice that they utilize furmark, which NVidia black listed because it was killing GPUs. The Galax HOF would be a good example, as the PCB contains extra VRM kind of like the FTW: Notice that the heat plate has fins to assist with dissipating the heat, and the cooler utilizes more fans.

The gigabyte G1 Gaming has less VRM with no full coverage heatplate, and has a hotspot in a completely different section: If I had to go with best guess, the heat plate is not dissipating enough heat due to the low fan speeds and strive for silent operation. The SeaHawk (MSI) has a relatively hot VRM section compared to the FounderEdition, and they utilize nearly the same VRM section with a few minor differences. I do not have a way to measure these hot spots, nor am I an electrical engineer that could figure out why adding twice the amount of VRMs would cause a hot spot. Libneon Why do the other cards not show such hot spots then? The founder's edition shows no hot spot: EVGA makes great products, I've been buying them for years, but there is definitely a hot spot over the VRM/memory area that seems to exceed the safe range for those components.and I can't even imagine what it's like if someone's case isn't ventilated right or kept clean.

The ROG strix cooler does not have a heat spreader under the cooler, the rest of the components are bare, which is why they have to add this small section of thermal tape and heat spreader onto the cooler itself. There is (or should be) thermal tape under the heatplate for the VRM section. There is a heatspreader covering the VRM and entire PCB separate from the core heatsink. The Asus card has a nice strip of thermal compound over the VRM and EVGA does not. To obtain individual results, move your cursor over the value.Scarlet-Tech NetQvist Annuminas on reddit dug up some interesting heatsink images: Compare the ROG Strix cooler The value in the fields reflects the average frame rate across the entire database. No reliable data interpolation can be made based on the performance of similar cards of the same category. Uncertain – The performance of this video card with this game is not well explored yet. A slower card might be able to produce higher and more consistent frame rates when running the same benchmark scene. Uncertain – The testing of this video card on this game showed unexpected results.
