Rumor has is the SUPER cards come with a tiny cape to attach to them. :)
This allows you to see the direction of exhaust airflow.

Oh, is that what theyāre for? I just cut them off since I thought they were impeding airflow.

What does everybody use for CPU + GPU temp monitoring? I used to use Real Temp which had both Intel and NVIDIA temps in the system tray but have switched over to Core Temp which had CPU temps in the tray + on my Logitch G13 game keyboard. I donāt know what to use to show the NVIDIA GPU temps these days except open and keep GPU-Z running.
Anyone else?
I used EVGA Precision X1 to overclock my card, and it also does temperature and fan monitoring.

Is your GPU made by EVGA? I suppose it shouldnāt matter.
Loaded old reliable SpeedFan but it doesnāt support/detect Ryzen sensors (hasnāt been updated since 2016-2017) only HDD/SSD and GPU.
It is, but that shouldnāt matter.
In an August driver update all Gen 11 intel graphics chips will support integer scaling!
Maybe this will convince AMD and nVIDIA to add support for it as well.
I have a 55" 4K screen that I do almost all of my PC gaming on, but because 4K is so hardware intensive I often find myself having to use 1440p, which does actually look substantially worse because of the scaling. Witcher 3 and Doom 2016 have a sharpening option which does go a long way towards remedying the issue, but maybe integer scaling with anti-aliasing on top would be a better answer.

this is just in the video scaler?

Just ordered an EVGA 2070 Ultra from Amazon, based on my theory that their warehouse deals prices reflected the incoming price cuts. If I can get a card with an MSRP of $600 for $438, I think the wholesale value of the item has dropped. Maybe Iām wrong but this was close enough to the price for my 970 that it felt fair to me anyway.

That seems pretty darn good to me. I havenāt been watching the GPU prices, but that seems a heck of a lot closer to what these cards should have been released at to what they were.
The 2070 should have been as fast as a 1080ti and should have launched at $349.
But in truth, the 2070 was as fast as a 1080 (much, much slower) and launched at $499, with Founders at $599. Overclocked cards came in at $530-$600.
See, this is how Nvidia moved the goalposts. You think a 2070 at $438 is a good deal 8 months after release, when in fact it sucks because the card was so insanely overpriced and underperforming in the first place.
This is why we need AMD to actually compete. Without competition, consumers get screwed.

Thatās not the standard cardā¦ itās the Ultra and itās EVGA which always has a premium.
That just means itās factory overclocked a bit more and comes with better cooling. Itās still a 2070, nowhere remotely near as fast as the cheapest 1080ti or 2080.

Thatās not the bar I set, but EVGA OC cardsā¦ they donāt come in at base MSRP even during more reasonable years.
Since we canāt go back in time and grab the neckties of execs at NVIDIAā¦ this is a fine price for someone in the market right now, and thatās a premium OC card. If someone wants base baseā¦ they can look at something like Zotac or maybe PNY. EVGAā¦ not so much.
Indeed, itās a fine price for the reality in which we are sadly forced to live. But it isnāt āwhat the card should have cost in the first placeā. Far from it.
Iām pretty sure the 2070 lands between a 1080 and 1080ti, so maybe a bit better than what you are saying. From what I recall when researching, the below is pretty representative of a lot of games.

Canāt believe it took me this long to figure out how to disable the GeForce Experience splash when games start: āPress Alt-Z toā¦ā
