They will probably run less hot than, which card was it, the GTX 480 which was basically a furnace in a computer case?

Hard to say.  We only have rumors right now.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

The tests of the new AMD 9800-3D (I may have the name wrong) look very promising.
And winter is coming. Time for a new furnace.

9800X3D.

It's 10-20% better than the 7800X3D in 1080p but it can be overclocked for even more performance.
The 7800X3D can't be overclocked though.
Differences in 1440p and 4k tend to be lower though.  Still worth the upgrade from earlier generations or from an Intel platform.
