Hi. Sorry to hijack this post but since it's talking about gpu, would like to seek advise from the gurus here. I got a sapphire pulse rx 580 recently and just swapped out the card last night. Managed to get it to work properly after installing the drivers and all but I noticed the fans were not spinning at all. Not sure if there is any smart control which only starts spinning the fans when the temp goes above certain threshold or is the gpu faulty? Was late last night when I finished swapping so haven't do more tests. Anyway to verify?

My first ATi Radeon was a 9700 Pro, it beat the crap out of the Abit 4200 Ti I had before getting the 9700 Pro. I think I bought a Hercules 9800 Pro after that, monstrous card in their prime. From then on, I'd bought both ATi (AMD) and nVidia cards, but mostly ATi/AMD.

I seem to have bad timing when it comes nVidia, bought a 7950 GX2, then within a month or two, nVidia released the 8800GTX and I felt the pain. Sibeh suay man! But somehow, still managed to end up with CF and SLi rigs thru the years, nothing looks more bada$$ and chio than two cards in a system (thru transparent side panel)

BTW, also had a Palit RTX 2080 Ti, bought thru sheer lack of impulse control, but sold it off and have gone AMD VEGA 64 all the way.....well, almost all the way that is.
Why sell your 2080Ti and switch?

Upgrade whenever there is a new development.

Currently on 1080 Ti.

Now waiting for AMD 7nm GPU. If poor review, then go for 2080 Ti.
