450 Watts TDP, wow. That's without any overclocking and it's air-cooled, your case better have some great airflow to dissipate that kind of heat. Will it be 3 8-pin PCIe connectors?

It'll be great to have 450 Watts TDP during the winter, not so much during the summer....

Do corporate mining interests buy direct from the AIB or Nvidia itself? What's the minimum order to qualify for bulk discounts? A thousand cards?

25% more power. That alone will beat 3090 by probably 10%. Problem is this card cant do more than 450W unless they put 4x 8-pin.

R U kidding about 4-pin? I thought each PCIe power connector could draw a max of 150 Watts?

What risk? it's none if you know what you're doing. I have been moding cards since shunt mods were a thing and I've never had an issue.

Isn't your warranty null and void once you shunt mod a videocard? That could hurt, considering 3080's cost upwards of $1400 to replace.
