I like the idea of pushing the hot air out of the case. The 3090 looks nice for that with being giant and blowing half the air out and some up near the ram where there is normally no flow.
Last few cards I bought were HD 5870. three of them
I had a twin fan 1GB from gigabyte than one fan would stop for not reason till a bios update on the card fixed it. It has terrible paste on it
The other two blower cards 2GB had terrible paste them both and fan curves or lack their of.

look what's changed since they The moment the HD 5870 hit 95C it was unacceptable.
now you cards that hit 15-12C lower and it's acceptable for noise/Performance Ratio.
the TDP's have climb you have fan stop now too.
