Coming from an EVGA 980 I've had for what feels like 100 years I had to get another EVGA card because their warranties are second to none and my 980 had served me well for so long. Slammed this card in my build making sure to use two separate power cables to hook it up. Fired up 3DMark and Borderlands 3. 3DMark score was like 3.5x my 980 and I was able to run the BL3 benchmark at 4k Ultra settings at 64.38 FPS, which is straight nuts. Fit in my Meshify C without any issues.

TL;DR It's a 3080. What more do you want. Great gpu. Play @ 1440p max settings in Apex Legends and get over the 144 fps cap. Control with all Ray tracing on is incredible looking. Around 100 fps with DLSS on. 45-55 with it off. Never hit above 66 degrees under load. Quiet as well. Much more so than the 2080S this replaced. Though I haven't had to use it. Evga's CS is top notch as well. If you can find this in stock. Buy first, think later.

EVGA is just the best. So far the temps and out of box performance has been amazing. Hits 1905MHz sustained once in game for 30min + , easily his 2GHz+ without the need to add voltage. I'm personally a huge fan of the heatsink design on this model, and unlike some other ones its not huge for the sake of being huge.

Beast of a card. Runs through games. I had a 1070 card that was also awesome. On a 4770k / 32 gb ram which was more than enough honestly for games. I play mostly Dota 2 And battlefield. In hind sight my 1070 card is plenty good enough. I just built a 10850k /64 gb of ram Because I had too much time on my hands and only wanted a beast mode card, This is it. I got an ez brand rgb brace for the card, but this card is lighter than my 1070 so it’s more for looks.

I'm focusing on the quality after the purchase. I can feel better knowing that not just Nvidia is having supply issues as AMD, Sony, and Microsoft all seem the have issues with new product launches. However the card is truly amazing. I upgraded from a EVGA 1070ti and pure horsepower of the new card is easy to see. Any game, max settings, with ray tracing... No problem. I am using a 3440x1440 120hz monitor so depending on your screen your results may vary. The card itself has nice metal back plate and the small rgb is decent vs the full bar on the FTW 3. I'm not a heavy overclocker and believe that this card may be limited in comparison again to the FTW3. The one shocking aspect is the box. You'd think that with a nicer card that the box would be pretty good but I guess they are putting money into things that count.
