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. That being said, be prepared to make necessary airflow adjustments to your case.

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.

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.

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.

Very good card performance is great which is what you would expect from evga.
Probably the best 3080ti out there, as long as you use 3 supplies power leads it runs sweet as a nut and ya can overlook it no worries.
Definitely a good buy. Very good card performance is great which is what you would expect from evga.

Firstly this card is amazing and smashes what ever game and settings you throw at it. But unfortunately this card and frankly any right now suffer from the crazy surge in pricing. If like me you have the money, go for it. Firstly this card is amazing and smashes what ever game and settings you throw at it.

Great video card. Quite a bit of sag in my case so a support bracket was needed. Great video card. Quite a bit of sag in my case so a support bracket was needed.

Nice price and best performance! Nice price and best performance!

I bought this by selling my LHR 3080 GPU and just had to pay $150 on top so it was a great bargain for me.
Performance wise, its hands down the best out there. I play on my 4K OLED and have great visuals and higher framerates for most of my games on Ultra.
It does get hot so I have undervolted my GPU. It is fairly simple to do that as there are some great online videos for it without any risk of damaging the card. In fact it will increase the lifespan of your card without affecting framerates, for me I actually got some more frames than its default setting. It also keeps the card 7 degrees cooler and less fan noise.

The only reason I will not recommend the card as it too expensive and just 10 percent or less gains on framerates when compared with a 3080.
If you have money, go for it. If you are on budget then 3080 is a great option I mean still expensive but not as expensive as a TI card

Very large GPU but still fits nicely into LianLi Lancool II with ease. Awesome ARGB all over. Plays all current titles with ease, pretty much just the same as a 3090 but with less VRAM (half to be exact). Had a quick burst run on mining and even though its LHR still gets a respectful 87 Mh/s if your into that. Great on CAD (solidworks) with ample VRAM for larger models etc... temps and fan noise are great (cool & quiet) until you push it hard, just like a V8 sports car runs smooth and quiet until you giver her some gas then its all noise and power.

Great easy click and collect service from the team at PB Tech, was able to collect the next day after ordering at 8pm.

I have nothing but good things to say about this GPU. Yes it is expensive, and it does hurt to part with so much money, but it looks like it will be a product that you can rely on for 5 or more years.
