I don't understand why they sell GPUs for up to $2000, and they still come with the same crappy fans we had on $150 cards.

Want watercooling? Have fun invalidating your warranty.

There are also great coolers that come on stock cards, you just have to pick one that isn't shitty. No temp issues with my EVGA or Gigabyte cards that have huge heatsinks and 3 big fans on them.

I don't follow. The cooler designs on modern midrange and high end GPUs are way bigger and more elaborate than anything that has ever shipped on a $150 GPU.
