Coming from a 3080 FTW3, the gains at 4K are appreciated. RT intensive titles such as Control and Cyberpunk also have an impressionable bump in performance. However, for rasterised 1440p I would stick with a 3080 or 6800XT.

If you want Re-BAR support, a vBIOS update via Precision X1 is necessary. Furthermore, this card is very thirsty (even with a sensible custom undervolt - 887mV locked at 1920mhz) it pulls 340-380W with ease.

Overall, an exceptional product with unquestionable raw power, however some end user refinement is recommended to maximise efficiency and performance. Cheers PB - awesome AIB model at very competitive price.

This card is negligibly better then the 3080 which I upgraded from.

But expect around 46-51 DBA under load as this thing will pull 400W and sit around 76-80% fan speed 85C (19C Ambient)
You WILL hear these jet turbine fans n the coil whine that comes with it.
IMO the extra noise is not worth over the 3080. This card is negligibly better then the 3080 which I upgraded from.

I am coming from an Aorus 3080 and I can already feel the difference. That power increase is really nice to have. Only issues I've seen people say is how hot and loud it gets but I spent literally 1 minute on fixing the fan curve to my preference and I'm running 45 at idle and max 74 at games with Ray tracing and max settings. Looks so beautiful too the rgb is great. In summary if you can afford it BUY THIS. My favorite 3080ti model I am coming from an Aorus 3080 and I can already feel the difference.

Purchased this card a week ago moving my 3080 to a 2nd rig. The EVGA FTW3 cooler is only "OK" if you leave this card running at stock with its unnecessary up to 450watt TDP. I would "strongly" recommend undervolting this card, like all high end Ampere models 3080/3080TI or 3090 stupidly use somewhere around 100watts squeezing out the last few percent in performance. Once undervolted this card runs far cooler and quieter for the loss of between 0-3fps which is a trade you really want to make (trust me).

If you are open to undervolting I can fully recommend this model, its pretty and mine had zero coil whine. Purchased this card a week ago moving my 3080 to a 2nd rig.

Just as usual EVGA and PBTech deliver, good product and runs great, same performance as a 3090 for less money. Just as usual EVGA and PBTech deliver, good product and runs great, same performance as a 3090 for less money.

Upgraded from a 1080ti to this, wasn't as big of an upgrade as expected but still a very good card. Runs cool at a decently high clock speed of 2Ghz+.

I'm running all my games at the highest settings with EZ. No lag or tearing with Super High Frame Rates. EXACTLY what you what from your GPU.

I get over 210+ FPS on games like War Zone / 300+ FPS on Apex Legends.. This is the best GPU for it's price, unfortunately due to high demand these have gone out of stock. I love the feature of having RGB and you can customize everything with the way this looks too! I get over 210+ FPS on games like War Zone / 300+ FPS on Apex Legends..

The card is very power hungry, puts out a lot of heat but the cooling keeps it from reaching throttling temps if your case has good air flow.
Down side is games tend to crash every now and then, sometimes you see messages about 3d3 hardware fails. Never had those problems with 3060ti so I'm guessing it's the LHR killing drivers.

Runs well out of the box, but with a bit of tweaking and an undervolt its quiet and cool. It absolutely slams any game you throw at it at nearly any resolution. I also use it for 3d rendering, fast is an understatement. Unless you absolutely *need* the extra 12gb of vram in the 3090 this is the clear option Runs well out of the box, but with a bit of tweaking and an undervolt its quiet and cool.
