No, I'm just opting to stay out of it. So much of this uneducated nonsense is nauseating. It's like they're just pulling stuff off the top of their head without having any actual industry experience.
Statements like this...

A CPU bottleneck would lock the GPU at a lower rate. It wouldn't be able to achieve a decent performance level because the CPU is preventing it from getting there. The CPU is the floodgate holding the water back. The GPU can't work with data from thin air. Yall are putting the water on the wrong side of the dam. Especially considering this is a Voxel game that's CPU-intensive. Even then, a 10700k is
not going to bottleneck a 2070. That's just silly. You would have to have some extremely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ hardware configuration for that to happen.
If your GPU is running high, that's a good thing because it means your GPU is being fully utilized. If it's that high when you're idle, you have an issue. While gaming is perfectly normal though.
And the reason you avoid bitcoin cards, is because they're run artifically at max for extreme periods of time. It's not like normal gaming where you're only hitting that a few hours a day. They're running them 24/7 until they burn out.
And lastly, overheating with
water cooling?!?!?!? You have some serious issues there. Your system is either set up incorrectly, or you're low on liquid. Air cooled I OC my 1060 to 1070 speeds and never get above 65C. Now if I don't have proper airflow in the case, it'll hit 85C easy. Correct airflow and pressure, and it's never an issue.
Aside from water cooling being proven inferior to quality air cooling, you still should never normally see that kind of an extreme. That's just insane, and a clear indication you've got some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up hardware.
