3090 driver handicap?

Vaporware. A product that your customers desire and are willing to pay for, but which you are unable to deliver. That is the definition of the GTX 3070 and GTX 3080 nVidia product line.

Versions of the powerful RTX 3090 with blower-style coolers are disappearing from the web, with ominous implications for prosumers who need workstations for work and play.

Nvidia forcing AIBs to remove blower 3090s. Thankfully I already bought 2 of them

Two of them here too. We got lucky.

Have you tried replacing the thermal pads on the blower 3090s? The memory junction is constantly above 95C and I'm worried about the card lifespan

Not yet. I plan to do that though. For now, I'm using them on power limiter.

We managed to find a deal on blower 3090s so I guess I'll have a chance to revisit our earlier benchmarks now that CUDA 11.2 has been out for a while.

Please keep us posted!
Also, see if you can monitor the mem junction's temperatures.
