EVGA GEFORCE RTX 3080 Ti
NVIDIA AMPERE ARCHITECTURE
The NVIDIA Ampere streaming multiprocessors are the building blocks for the world's fastest, most efficient GPU for gamers and creators.
EXPERIENCE TODAY'S BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTERS LIKE NEVER BEFORE
NVIDIA's RTX platform includes dedicated RT Cores for ray tracing and Tensor Cores for AI that enable groundbreaking technologies at breakthrough speed.
MAX FPS. MAX QUALITY. POWERED BY AI.
DLSS taps into the power of a deep learning neural network to boost frame rates and generate beautiful, sharp images for your games.
NVIDIA Resizable BAR
Resizable BAR gives gamers an extra boost in gameplay framerate on select titles by letting the CPU directly access the GPU's entire frame buffer memory.
NVIDIA Reflex
Acquire targets faster, react quicker, and increase aim precision through a suite of technologies built to optimize and measure system latency.
Maximize the thermal contact surface area on graphics card components
Airflow pockets allow air to move more freely through the heatsink to remove more heat.
Patented copper base is 25% larger to cover both GPU and RAM area to improve thermal transfer and GPU/RAM cooling.
New 180° heatpipe design with selectively positioned heatpipes increases fin contact area by 65% and optimal heat dissipation.
Triple fans are installed on all air-cooled EVGA GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics card to optimize airflow, increase cooling performance, and reduce fan noise
EVGA graphics card features asynchronous fan mode, and a special upraised "E" pattern that further reduces turbulent noise.
EVGA's iCX3 fans turn off below 55°C, generating 0dB of noise.
FTW3 center fans are off set by 10mm to increase the direct airflow area by 16%.
Smart cut-outs in the PCB improve airflow and reduce exhaust recovery

Pros: I was able to get a +130 OC @ 2090 MHz and +1k memory OC stable. The issue was the fan speed which was running at about 75% when I did this. This was too loud for my ears and the wattage was boosting near the 450 watt range under stress testing. I decided to under-volt. I dropped the frequency curve on MSI Afterburner down to 1000 and locked the voltage in at 950mV. From there I raised the frequency up to 1950MHz, locked the frequency and it ran stable. By doing this, the card never goes over 950Mv. The wattage never comes close to 350 watts and averages around 260 watts. The fans barely if ever his 50% and the card rarely goes over 60c. For me, this is the sweet spot for performance, thermals and fan noise. It is virtually silent at this level. The card kicks all kinds of but and under-volting was the way to go. I play at 1440p. Under-volting gives me great peace of mind knowing that I'm not over heating and stressing the card out. It's built to do that but I don't see the point with 75% fan speed. I want to enjoy my gaming sessions which I'm doing without the fans going nuts. Although the card can handle 450 watts under load, I don't really see the point. It's a perfect and beautiful card sitting in my case.
Cons: Price
Overall Review: I would purchase this card again in a heartbeat. I obtained it via the Newegg shuffle. It took about 15 tries but I won it. Super happy with it.
