Ah, yes, the classic "just move the PC tower to the attic and run 50-foot USB and HDMI cables to plug in the monitor and peripherals" strategy.

Since all gpu's models perform the same, why review dozen of different models?

It’s not just about performance, reviewing different models we are able to find anomalies like missing rops on the high end 50 series that it leads to missing performance… just reviewing the fe model and we wouldn’t know

Indeed.
Perhaps @W1zzard can manage some kind of merging of same model comment sections, while keeping an exposed tag on them based on what review was clicked on to get to said comment section. That way people can also see from each other what review/model prompted their response.
And even just a merge of those comments into a single topic when you arrive on the forum itself wouldn't be a bad thing. Its not like those topics each get swarmed with comments, more often than not there's a rare commentor on each of them, talking to himself

That sounds like bait but anyway:
It absolutely is an issue, majority of variants have bad coolers and are unacceptable for people with their hearing intact.
For example:
| Model | Idle | Gaming | Max | Noise | RPM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASUS RTX 4060 Strix OC (Quiet BIOS) | 35°C | 59°C | 71°C | 24.4 dBA | 1088 |
| Gigabyte RTX 4060 WindForce OC | 46°C | 78°C | 97°C | 45.4 dBA | 2965 |
To pretend like there is no difference between these and that the review wasn't needed is bonkers.
Not only do they not perform the same, but one is virtually silent and cool at the same time, while the other sounds like a jet engine and overheats.
Your "solutions" are not viable for most people and come with a lot of compromises and massively increased cost.
I'm glad they review so many models so we know which ones avoid. Shoutout to Mr. W1zzard

Perhaps some middle ground where the cooler performance is reviewed for different cards, but does that really necessitate another full review? Most of which will be all but identical for all makes and models of the given spec? I dunno, perhaps this is how the site generates revenue in which case far be it from me to say it's wrong, but from the end user perspective it seems overkill.
