EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti XC ULTRA GAMING, 11GB GDDR6, Dual HDB Fans & RGB LED Graphics Card 11G-P4-2383-KR

The two built in fan curves are just ok. Less noise, but more heat and heat is a killer of speed. I used EVGA Precison X1 to set manual fan curves. Mine are 70% through 80c then 100%. My case has 6 Noctua fans ($20.00 each). While the stock Corsair fans are reasonably quiet, the Noctua fans are silent. Yes, you hear AIR whooshing, but the video card rarely gets above 70c.My TV is a Samsung 4K 48" with no Gsync or Freesync. Playing WoW with all but ground clutter at max (so i can see chests etc. easier) the lowest fps was 70 (flying really fast over the tree tops) and my average is 120 (pretty much every where). No tearing or stuttering and no AA enabled in the WoW menu. This particular card is HUGE. If you did want to use two of them, the top cards fan air intakes would be severely restricted. Why you would need two does beg the question as one RTX 2080 Ti (EVGAS' top model) runs 4K with ZERO issues. Replacing my EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3. My 1080 ran my 27" rogswift IPS monitor (same settings) with no issues, but did struggle at times running my 4k TV, but it DID run my 4k TV.If like me you really really want to play games on a large 4k TV, EVGAs 2080 Ti fits the bill. down side? it's $1,500.00. I was holding out for AMD and Nvidia to release their next set of video cards, but decided not to wait until October or even later.My ASUS X-99 decided to quit working, so went with GIGABYTE X570 Auros Master, two Sabrent 1T 4.0 and 3600x chip set. Only one M.2 slot is pcie 4.0 the other 2 are 3.0. I liked the cost and feature set of the MB versus other offerings that had two or more 4.0 enabled M.2 slots. I do not have any tools that would show how fast the X-99 (with Samsung M.2) versus the X570 are, but both boot quickly (at least the X-99 used to). Cost was just under $1,000 to replace my MB, chip set and two HD. I included information on my system so you would know what the 2080 ti was running in. I've built 5 computers for family members and all 5 used Corsair carbide air 540. Windowed panel, thumb screws for panels and filters and VERY easy to install components in.Bottom line: If a 2080 Ti is in your budget, it's a great performer.

This is an absolute beast of a GPU. It’s basically overkill. It can run every game ultra settings on 1440p. It can also run almost all games high settings on 4k. If you are gaming on 1080p or 1440p, You don’t need to turn on the fans, because the card can easily handle these resolutions, which makes it extremely silent. While gaming on higher resolution and higher settings, you still might not need the fans on that high, but if it makes you comfortable, go for it! On the EVGA Software, you can pick the speed of the fans, if you put anything under 40% speed it’s practically silent, and it cools the gpu very well. Even for heavy gaming, there is no reason to take the fans to over 60% because 60% speed with these 3 fans and big heatsink, cools the card just fine. However, this card is extremely expensive right now, and won’t fit most people’s budget. Any card really won’t fit your budget currently. But if i’m just reviewing the card and not the price then this card is probably overkill, but a gamers dreams. Again, this thing is a beast, and will satisfy your gaming experience for years to come. If you know that these prices aren’t going down soon and you need a beefy GPU, this is the card for you. PS. You might want to buy a sag bracket at the time of buying this GPU, this gpu is a monster in performance, and size. I forgot to buy one, and I can already see the card tilting down, this really isn’t a problem at first, but overtime that sag can grow and potentially rip the pcie connecter of the PCB of the GPU or rip the pcie slot of the motherboard.

Neither EVGA nor NVidia can be totally blamed for the insane prices of video cards (Good Ole Capitalism) but price aside this card is amazing.I'm using the Precision X1 software to OC the card and I am very pleased with the results. MSI Afterburner is regarded as a superior OC tool but it does not provide control for the three fans on the 2080 Ti Ftw3 Ultra, which are recognized by Precision X1. I have been able to push the settings far enough to get a graphics score of 18715 in 3DMark-Time Spy. The card is installed in a system running Win 10 64bit with an Intel i5-3570 3.4GHz CPU and 16GB RAM. The bottleneck is the Intel Motherboard and CPU; they are both over ten years old, so the benchmarks would probably be higher with more up-to-date hardware. On games without ray-tracing (Mass Effect: Andromeda, Starcraft II, Crysis 3) the card barely hits 60C. Games with ray-tracing (e.g. Metro 2033 Redux) it maxes out at about 72C with no visual signs of any stress.As for the physical card itself, EVGA builds a rock-solid piece of hardware. It is compact (for a 2000 Series), rugged and reliable. I have been pushing it hard for over a year now and it shows no sign of fatigue. And it is darn pretty to boot.This was a gift to myself and I'm glad I ponied up the cash, especially since prices have gone even higher. If you are serious about gaming you can't go wrong with this card - if you can still find it.
