EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming 11GB GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black

I have been doing serious PC Gaming since 2008 and its hard for me to come across a product that simply stuns me with its performance relative to its price. Well, the EVGA 1080ti did that and more, its an excellent card if you want to get the best experience for your money at 1440p or higher resolution gaming. Pros: -Raw performance is amazing at 1440p or higher. I run the card at 7680 X 1440, which is the resolution for my triple 27 inch Dell S2716DG 1440p monitors and it performs astoundingly well, even at Ultra settings in some games. It also works very well in VR. -Temperature is reasonable, it does not run overly hot. -Card looks cool through the tempered glass side, including the lighted labeling. -Price is fair considering the performance you get and how it compares to the AMD camp. It is also a significant jump over the GTX 1080, which I previously owned, and so the price difference is justifiable. -EVGA Reliability - I have two EVGA cards right now, my 1080ti as well as a 5 1/2 year old EVGA Superclocked 4 GB 670. The 670 continues to chug away nicely in my desktop PC. Cons: -1080p performance is amazing, but this is too much card for that resolution. Don't buy this card if you are going to run it at 1080p, its only worthwhile if you are going to run it at 1440p or higher.

This is a very pricey card but you get what you pay for. My only suggestion is to be very aware of what CPU you are pairing it with. I would not use an Intel i5/i3 or AMD Ryzen 3/5. To avoid any bottlenecking I would use an Intel i7(Kaby Lake or Coffee Lake) or a Ryzen 7. I myself have it pair with an Intel i7-8700K(Coffee Lake). Also if you are planning on mainly gaming at 1080p I would pass on this graphics card as it is really meant for anyone looking to play at 1440p or 4K. For those playing at 1080p resolution I would recommend the Nvidia GTX 1070, 1070Ti or 1080. In all it is a great buy for me as I won't be needing to upgrade for quite some time now.

Still an amazing card in 2021! Even when new top of the line cards are out of stock I can still play newest games at max framerate

The only games I’ve tried it with are Overwatch and Player Unknown Battlegrounds. I went from barely getting 30fps at 1600x1200 and lowest quality graphics settings with my gtx 550ti/phenom9600/8gb system to over 150fps at 2K resolution and maxed out graphics settings on my new gtx 1080ti/ryzen1700x/32gb. HUGE difference! Mind you that your performance will be bottlenecked greatly if you try to use the 1080ti in a severely outdated system, like i did at first. My old system (parts dated around 2008-2010ish) was so overwhelmed by the 1080ti that the motherboard started having overheating problems with the 1080ti installed, and it only gave a small increase in performance because It was limited by the speeds that my old system could handle. I had to then upgrade to a more up-to-date motherboard/processor/memory combo, and that’s when the 1080ti was able to really show its stuff. I expect that the 1080ti will play most of today’s games above 144fps at maxed out graphics. As far as temperature is concerned, the 1080ti runs between 40-50deg C during basic computer use and then goes up to about 70deg C when i fire up a game at max graphics, which seems fine. So far, I have been too lazy to use the included software, which probably lets you manage the fan speed better to reach cooler temperatures. By default, it seems like the 1st fan runs during basic use, and the 2nd fan kicks in when needed. It’s ironic, because I payed $10-$20 extra for this version of the card that has all the temperature sensors, and I’m not fully utilizing them. This is the only version that best buy sells, but don’t worry, it seems like it’s the best evga dual fan version. And it seems from the reviews that ppl like the evga version cards. You can always pay more for the 3 fan version or even the liquid cooled ones if you have cooling concerns, but this dual fanned one seems to do BEYOND just fine for me. Thanks to this card, it looks like i won’t have to worry about running below maxed out graphics settings for a looong time to come.

I originally upgraded from my GTX 960 with a 1070 ti but felt I still wasn't getting the performance I wanted, even after playing around with EVGAs OCX overclocking utility and running benchmarks through 3DMark and UNIGINE. So returned it, spent a few extra bills, got the EVGA GTX 1080 ti and I'm blown away. I have a 24" 1920x1080 144hz 1ms r time ASUS vg248qe monitor, and in MOST games, FPS ranges from 70 to the full 144 FPS , which needless to say, is amazing. Most recommend using this at 2k or 4k, because at 1080p its overkill. And I cant speak for how well it performs in that regard. But at 1080p, this thing flys. Now waiting on a 27" Dell 1440p G-Sync monitor, (aka 2k). Cant wait to see what this 2k gaming hype is all about. Would I recommend this to a friend? Absolutely. If you have the budget, this thing is a beast and will tear through just about any GPU-demanding games you throw at it. May even dual SLI at some point.

This thing handles anything I throw at it. I am a content creator who uses 4K. This was a replacement for my last graphics card and MAN IS THIS GOING TO LAST ME A WHILE. My last video card was purchased in 2012 for 1080p video editing. This card will handle anything 4K and does great with gaming. Fast, runs cool, and LED adds a touch of customization to my case. It plays well in both my Ryzen7 PC and Intel PC. Recommended to all. EVGA customer service is top notch which is an added plus.

For the price, and functionality, this is the best video card that you can get to date. Some may argue the titan is better with its 12GB of VRAM, but the titan is far more expensive, and I have used both. I prefer the 1080 TI over any card (and the SC2, and FW3 are my tops due to the cooling ability of the cards fans.) If your looking for a huge upgrade for gaming, or if you do a lot of video and photo editing (which I do both, and have not found a fault or had any type of complaint yet), This is an A+++ selection.

It's a 1080ti... If you have been researching there really isn't a huge difference between the different models int eh way of FPS. This one has not yet been overclocked. I haven't had the need for it. With all my games and the VIVE Vr headset, I have been able to run everything at Ultra. I have this paired with an i7 6700k (also not overclocked at this time) and 32 GB of ram. My only complaint is that EVGA included Destiny 2 with this card from every other retail shop except Best Buy. Slime move in my opinion.
