Q: QuestionBBY shipped this to my home in a very oversized box. There was ample bubble pack, but the Graphics Card box itself had no shrink wrap. This leads me to believe that this unit may not be 'brand' new? Paranoid? Has anyone received theirs w/o shrink wrap?

Asked 8 years ago by CaptKirk.

• A:Answer Update. I spoke to Chris at EVGA. He said that these are manufactured for BBY and that BBY may test them before shipping them, thus the box may not be shrink wrapped. I opened mine and had no doubt that the unit was new. Also he said based on my serial number, it was never registered. BTW, great card!

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this card and the NVIDIA Founders Edition GTX Geforce 1080 PCI Express Express 3.0? I saw that the clock speed is 1ghz higher but why is that if everything else is the same?

Asked 8 years ago by Sora.

• A:Answer They are not the same. There are many differences between these two cards... EVGA does a whole different circuit board controller and multiple fans. The only similarity is the GPU at their core. EVGA cards are very good... but every once in a while, you'll get one with a defect. EVGA has been hit or miss on their returns lately. My last two cards had bad memory in them.... clearly a manufacturing / supply issue. The FE NVIDIA versions do run much hotter. That the nature of their design. The EVGA will run much cooler. Out of box performance will be much better with the EVGA.... but you can Overclock both of them... but you'll have more room to play in the OC area with the FE edition. Stay away from the EVGA superclocked versions. I don't recommend them. Heat is your enemy in electronics. Cool products last. Heat kills electronics.

Q: QuestionWHY BESTBUY HAVE TWO MODELS WHAT IS THE DIFERENCE? IN THIS AND 08G-P4-6283-KB PLEASE TELL ME I JUST WANNA KNOW CUZ I BOUGHT THE MODEL 08G-P4-6282-KB

Asked 8 years ago by AZUNEK.

• A:Answer The KB at the end of the model number designates that EVGA labels these boards for Best Buy exclusively. The EVGA cards models ends in KR, but they are essentially the same board. The difference between the two I think is memory clock speeds.

Q: QuestionI was going to buy the Samsung 43" Model: UN43MU6300FXZA 4K television and use it as a Gaming monitor along with this card but I was told the refresh rate would be to slow and I should get a 4K computer monitor. Anyone use a 4K TV as a monitor?

Asked 8 years ago by Alucard13.

• A:Answer Televisions generally have lower refresh rates than Monitors. As well as a standard Aspect ratio 16:9. If you are serious about your gaming experience Then yes I would suggest investing in a 4k 120+hz monitor.

Q: QuestionI just purchased this unit. I learned of a thermal modification for EVGA graphic cards 1080, 1070 etc. When I go on www.evga.com/thermalmod my serial number is not found. How do I find out if this Best Buy product offering has been modified?

Asked 8 years ago by CaptKirk.

• A:Answer The original super clocked EVGA 1080 that released had the ACX cooler and this one has the ICX cooler that was released later so I would assume that it has had the thermal mod already put in from the manufacturer. I have also purchased this card and I have been running it for over a month now with no thermal issues.

Q: QuestionI bought this online 2 days ago and just received it does it not come with a code for destiny 2 anymore?

Asked 8 years ago by Nate.

• A:Answer No they quit selling them with free copies of destiny 2 and I bought mine a month ago probably around the same time you did and then 2 weeks later they announced they were going to offer free copies of destiny 2 again...we are just the unfortunate souls who pulled the trigger too late and then again too early but after playing the destiny 2 beta on PC it will still be worth the $60 in my opinion.

Q: QuestionSo just wondering why on the box it says 11GB?

Asked 8 years ago by Nick.

• A:Answer That's 11gb different from the 8 GB. The lowercase letters means gigabit which is referring to the data speed of the ram. Uppercase means Gigabyte. Which is a much larger measurement of memory and it's the amount of total ram on the card. Which on this card is 8GB.
