Your GPU’s cooler design is stealing your FPS
A lot goes into the kind of FPS numbers your GPU can pump out, such as the core count, architecture, memory bandwidth, VRAM capacity, and drivers, among other things. One seemingly overlooked factor that could be responsible for less-than-ideal GPU performance is the quality of the cooler. The heatsink, vapor chamber, backplate, fan size, and overall build quality of your GPU's cooler determine its cooling performance, and thereby, its maximum clock speeds, minimum temperatures, and lifespan. The differences between different AIB models for the same GPU might be slim, but a subpar cooler could still be chipping away at your maximum FPS.
