EVGA GEFORCE RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA 1080P

My only complaint is that there's no thermal pads on the backplate, which could have helped reduce temperature a little bit. On the back of the card you'll find a metal backplate, which is one of the best looking I've ever seen-it almost reminds me of a Crysis nanosuit, thanks to the hexagonal cutouts paired with metallic print in in the same shape. The new thermal solution looks great, even though I'm sure some will complain about the use of red for highlights.

The RTX 3080 is also a good option for 1440p high refresh-rate gaming, but I definitely wouldn't spend that much money just for Full HD 1080p gaming.ĮVGA reconsidered the looks of their coolers for GeForce 30 Ampere, and I have to say I'm very happy with the result. At lower resolutions many games are CPU bottlenecked though, so the card won't be able to play out its full potential. If you are looking for fluid 4K gaming, then the RTX 3080 is the card you want. The RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra is twice as fast as the aging GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, and twice as fast as AMD's Radeon RX 5700 XT. Compared to last generation's RTX 2080 Ti, the EVGA card is 38% quicker, and the uplift vs RTX 2080 Super is 64%.

At 4K, it is 5% faster than the NVIDIA Founders Edition, which is more than half the way to the much more expensive RTX 3090, which is another 4% faster than the EVGA FTW3 Ultra. Thanks to increased power limit, the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra is the fastest RTX 3080 we've tested so far. While the majority of 3080's that we've reviewed are limited to slightly above 300 W (FE: 320 W, Palit: 320 W, Zotac: 320 W, ASUS TUF: 340 W, MSI Gaming X: 340 W), EVGA went all the way to 380 W, at which point it actually begins to benefit the third 8-pin PCIe power connector. Where EVGA has an edge over all other cards is the power limit, which seems to be more important for Ampere performance than Boost clock alone. Only the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio is specced higher-to 1815 MHz, which isn't that much more (the Founders Edition ticks at 1710 MHz). With 1800 MHz, the rated Boost Clock is among the highest of all RTX 3080 cards that we've tested so far. The FTW3 Ultra is EVGA's most premium air-cooled RTX 3080 variant, boasting a massive triple slot, triple-fan cooler, iCX technology, dual BIOS, adjustable RGB, and a large factory overclock. It took a little bit longer, but finally, here's our EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra review.
