Keep in mind that the 3080 and relatives should be out soon(tm) which might cause a price drop on the two series between them and yours.*Blowing the fans through is something I can do... removing the heatsink is probably beyond my ken. I'm wondering if a newer card might be on the cards. However, justifying that to the better half would be a mammoth undertaking!
