Also tiagong, gpu with nice back plate will help dissipate heat for better overclocking and performance.Tiagong according to market trends, RGB give more fps
There is only so much that a brand can do liao. Now is into cooling, tuning, and other things to prevent throttling lol.
Just like how evga does on their new icx cooler with different sensors to detect where need better cooling etc.
Oh well couldnt care less for people whom custom water cooling.
Look at current Nvidia gen, "overclocking" is so easy. All cards will hit the 2.1 wall no matter how satki or exotic the cooling solution is

Or you mean "Look at current Nvidia gen, "overclocking" is so easy. Overclock over 2GHz the textures start flickering still can pass 3DMark and get high score."
EVGA ACX (DT) mark 2 for artifacting at factory "OC bios".
ICX for VRMs blowing up.

to improve min fps so less dips below...In theory 30FPS good enough already.
If you 60FPS already even if you can OC 10% more FPS to 66FPS your eyes also cannot see much difference.
Heng moi use prastik card, no such issues

Sinkee land have or yet another European import?![]()


Don't need tiagong. Depend on your airflow setups, having a backplate does helps. In some case, it won't.

tbh i no idea if its "implemented correctly" in 3201 & previous bios...Any idea Ahsus 3201 BIOS correctly implements speedshift or yet another Ahshu flop still behind MSI and Giga?![]()
Yup some are active backplates, some are passive. In my Zotac 1070 Mini teardown pics, found out its a passive one with a plastic laminate on underside of backplate. No thermal pads to bridge and sink heat onto backplate.
If any functional purpose, it just adds rigidity preventing PCB sag + trapping abit of heat.
