Nobody here has a mining factory, bruh. Relax.
Besides, if you're spending that kind of money on a GPU there's really no reason not to be mining on the side. You'd be killing two birds with one stone.
3080's where art thou?

Also a bit rich because there's nothing constructive about your incessant rambling and ranting. There's a thread for that on here ya know. Moreover, if you haven't scored a 3080/90 by now you honestly have nobody to blame but yourself. Whine less and be more proactive.

Mining kinda kills hardware, if that's your only GPU
Prolonged periods of excessive heat causes hardware degradation. I'm not comfortable mining on my 3090 because of how hot the back vram modules get.
I've got my sli 1080ti's mining which draws less heat/power than that of an overclocked 3090.

https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-rtx-3090 Their calculator for a 1080Ti, which is what I have, is fairly accurate. Of course, the rate is variable, only a few days ago I was earning roughly twenty-five percent less .
How much does case cooling impact things? The VRM on my Asus Strix 1080Ti stay at 66/67 C when mining, which is a lot cooler than what I have read on Reddit. GPU temps range from 57-62C, depending on ambient temps. As I recall, Witcher 3 pushed VRM temps into the low 70s Celsius.
Maybe you should take your own advice.
That's like saying gaming kills a GPU.

Duly noted !!!
Thanks for all that
As well MemX London Ont called me back and said they would ship the Asus Strix 3090.....but not the Evga FTW Ultras....very kind of them....cudos! The Victoria MemX called me today and said they were expecting a batch of Evga 3090 FTW Ultras perhaps next week and are taking "phone in" orders...........good to know.....EK will have the FTW Ultra FCWB available in 4 wks........soon I know!!!!
Dwayne.....where were you at on the Evga queue ? Was it a 3080 or 3090 ?

Exactly!!!!! Every-time I sell one of my GPU's the first question is "Were you mining with it" ......nope...OC'd gaming only and under water !!! SOLD
A high airflow case would obviously be better than something that's too restrictive. Thing is, these cards are so damn power hungry and draw so much heat.... It would be negligible in the end. NVIDIA really pushed these cards to the absolute brink.
Here's an example of some mods people are doing - https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...-a-3090-and-the-secret-memory-perfcap.276968/

I sure hope that you didn’t mean to quote me to this reply.
