Basically, it's almost a 3090 with half the memory and a few configuration tweaks. This is a very well-balanced enthusiast-class graphics card. In general, I think anyone would agree with me we all would love to own a 3080 Ti. Of course, the looks are debatable as always with any product, granted this is a lot of RGB bling, but once RGB powers on, it doesn't look bad at all, But that's a matter of taste and opinions. Sometimes airflow can be registered by the dba meter, while it remains relatively silent.

The dba levels seem a little high but these are not really an issue as it's more airflow that is soft rather than annoying noise. The heat signature overall for this card is okay mut close to cooling capacity limits, we notice operating temps upwards of 75 Degrees C (which can be higher or lower depending on the airflow and your chassis of course. So that's 3 FPS on average more when gaming in that 100 FPS range. Overall this brings in roughly 3% additional performance in the GPU resolutions and games.


This card as a result runs okay enough temperatures, the nut is a little noisier. EVGA pushed this card to the maximum of their cooler capacity, at a rated power consumption of 410 Watts they needed to flock open all registers.
