Everything I wanted and more

May not seem like it, but going from my old EVGA 970SSC to this 1080ti SC was a pretty big bump in performance.3.5gb to 11gbPerformance has been everything I’ve wanted and more. Being able to max out gorgeous games and lock 60+ frames has been a treat.Temps are within reason as well under load. Highest I’ve had in this card was 58c while playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider on maxed out settings using the auto fan curve. No boost or secondary OC. Noise is pretty good too, but can get a little loud depending on fan curve settings. Isn’t a deal breaker for me as I wear a headset most of the time anyways though.I decided to buy this earlier this summer instead of waiting for the 2000 series. Glad I did.

Tearing it up!

been running this card now for 8mths can say without a doubt the finest card i have owned,as always running games when others are having troubles due to the fact of keeping rig clean and always using intel paired w/NVidia.this combo works!! using software to keep fans at a constant 60% this keeps the card at cool temps hardly ever exceeding 65f.and 11GB of VRAM need i say more this things fast.also like the fact its smaller than my 980ti classified fits a mid tower very well.trouble free and tearing up the gaming world.IF YOU WANT TO MAX OUT EVERYTHING YOU PLAY then look no further.i run 2560×1440 @144hz on ultra everygame.unless bad optimization prevents this not card or rigs fault.

Love this thing

I’ve always used evga when it comes to my gpus. Got all my friends hooked on them to. I’ve had a 1070 ti for about 2 years now. I thought it was time for an upgrade and one of my friends wanted my 1070. I play a lot of vr and this sucker makes a big difference!!

EVGA makes a nice card

I am admittedly and ASUS fanboy owning a Strix 1070, Strix 1080 and a Strix 1080ti but when I was building out another system I picked up the EVGA 1080ti SC black edition because it matched the theme of the build. This card runs neck and neck with the Strix 1080ti and even though its only a dual fan design on the cooler the card runs cool and is quiet. No worries at all gaming at 2560x1440p or 3440x1440p with Veryhigh and Ultra settings. I will definitely be looking at EVGA when I decide to throw down on a 2080ti

Absolute BEAST of a card

I upgraded from a 1060 to this and man, am I glad I did. This card is amazing. Makes all of my games look incredible and easily runs them at 60+ FPS at the very minimum. Installation and installing the drivers was easy and didn’t take much time at all. The card is very quiet and only reaches about 50-60 degrees heat even when playing an extremely demanding game such as Total War Warhammer 2.My only nitpick really was the packaging it came in. I can tell that this card was used for bitcoin mining recently which I don’t really care about since the card works great for me. However, it looks like EVGA just threw it back in the box and put some tape on the package and passed it off as new. I’ve heard of this being a problem with other buyers of the 1080ti but I guess I was one of the lucky ones that didn’t get a broken card. Would prefer if EVGA labeled the cards as Used, rather then New to not mislead people into what they’re buying.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this card to anyone looking to upgrade their GPU to one of the best cards on the market today.

World’s fastest GPU uArch at the time of this review

Absolute beast when it comes to 1080p-1440p gaming. Example: The Witcher 3 1080p Ultra settings with Hairworks enabled + max HW AA x8 and fps is around 105 Avg with highs of 174fps and lows of 89fps.The most surprising thing about it is how cool it runs even under heavy loads. Max 65C for brief moments and usually within 61-63C. The backplate is most definitely not for show although it does look classy, the thing really gets hot to the touch implying it is able to draw heat away from the critical components. Legendary EVGA build quality right there.Another outstanding feature of the uArch in particular is its ability to run the clocks down significantly along with lowered core voltages when running slightly older titles that are locked to 60fps. The amount of power being pulled is substantially low, in the 80-90W region. Under full loads the power draw is as expected at around 250-257W.I am no fan of Nvidia’s business tactics and their general strategy with GameWorks but this thing is just peerless. The real shame here is that they have no competition from AMD in the Ultra enthusiast space. I got tired of waiting on Vega with the mediocre performance it had to offer versus what Nvidia had already in the market. The mining cancer was the final straw but I don’t regret getting this card one bit, it is just that darn good. I was calculative enough to see the mining plague spreading well ahead of time before it affected higher end cards like the GTX 1080Ti so I am very happy to have got this at $749.99. This card should serve me for good 3-4 years before I even begin to think of an upgrade.

Awesome Gaming Card!!

I purchased this card to complement my custom build and am very happy with the purchase. Yes the cost was a bit much, but the ROI (return on investment) will be forthcoming over the years. This gaming card I am able to get Ultra/High settings for all games that I run. Currently WoW (World of Warcraft), Black Ops 4, Forza 4, Overwatch, Far Cry 5, Shadow of the Tomb and Destiny 2 with no game lag at all.The lowest FPS for some of the graphically intense games played I have seen is 90 FPS. I have a G-Sync monitor that is overclocked at 165Hz and will see frame rates to that setting. I can overclock the card but have not had to with the games that I have been playing. The card stays cool and can game for hours at a time without issue. I had considered the RTX 2080 card, but will wait for more games to be written for the Ray Tracing technology.Even while streaming, I do not see any degradation of video or loss of FPS. I am really happy with this purchase.

Black sheep of the group

Bought this SC Black as a no-frills powerhouse to replace my 1080 FTW (ACX model). The early models of the 1080 FTW were prone to cooling issues and faulty voltage protection, mine was no exception. I stayed with EVGA because they honored their warranty in the matter.(Beware, opinions ahead!)For the 1080ti I wanted the ICX cooler without all the over-the-top sensors which added to the cost (just to clarify, this model is technically the same as the SC2 minus the added thermal sensors). I really do feel like the added sensors are a gimmick to put customers at ease after the ACX debacle. If the card has a cooling problem then no amount of sensors is going to fix it, nor will it fix or warn against faulty voltage protection.In my opinion most of the cards nowadays are turning towards aesthetics and excessive monitoring at added cost, leaving no option to buy a less expensive but similar performing model if you cut out all the LEDs, fancy shrouds, and overkill sensors. To each their own though, I’m sure all of these cards perform unbelievably well and each owner will buy a model to suit their needs. My argument is with the manufacturers.I didn’t buy a FTW3 or SC2 because they felt unnecessary, it was also the reason I strayed away from other really great manufacturers. This card is the black sheep (pun intended?) of the group and it gets the job done at a great price. That and the cost for performance vs the FTW3 isn’t justifiable, not with the performance of the 1080ti. Even without OCing, good lord this card is unbelievably powerful.

Very quiet under heavy load; night and day difference coming from a GTX 970.

I upgraded to this card (EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Edition) from an EVGA GTX 970 SSC. The 970 was a bad purchase on my part — it literally sounded like someone was running a hair dryer when the card was under load due to gaming or when I tried to mine cryptos with it.The 1080 Ti has been a win so far. This is the most I’ve ever paid for a video card, and I did so for a few reasons. First, I was sick and tired of the noisy and now relatively outdated GTX 970. Second, while i normally buy cards in the “70” lineup since it’s the sweet spot for price, the crypto miners have driven prices up unreasonably on the GTX 1070 and 1070 Ti, and I figured that if I paid just a “little” more ($250 roughly) that I’d get to enjoy having a Titan-class card and could mine cryptos on the side for a few months to make up for the price differential. I’ve been running the card for about 2 weeks now and it’s on track toward that goal.If you want to splurge and are looking for some excuses to help justify clicking the “buy” button, maybe my experience will encourage you to do so.Sorry I can’t comment on its gaming performance as I haven’t gamed with it yet. But there are plenty of tech review sites out there and youtube videos that showcase what the 1080 Ti can do when it comes to gaming.

but I suspect that would probably tax it a good deal more

I bought this GPU not too long after buying an Aorus Gaming 7 Mobo and an Intel i7-8700K. I had an Nvidia GTX 970, and it basically choked on AC: Origins – it was unstable even at medium settings. So I bought this card, which is an absolute beast – and it oughta’ be for nearly a grand. I can assure you that it can run AC: Origins with everything maxed at 1080p (haven’t tried 4K, but I suspect that would probably tax it a good deal more…). My frame rates average 75fps. I have no complaints about this card, aside from the price, which is absolutely exorbitant. The installation was easy, though I did need a new PSU. Bear in mind that you’ll need one with both a 6 pin and an 8 pin PCIE power connector to run this thing. You can buy adaptors (and I think the card actually comes with these), but my feeling is that if your PSU doesn’t already have those connectors hard-wired into the block, then it’s probably not powerful enough. You’ll probably need at least a 700 watt PSU to run this card.

Yes to EVGA

After owning 5 different EVGA cards, I finally had a chance to submit one for warranty work. Heads up here, I had 3 days left on the 3 year warranty and EVGA handled it like a Champ. They replaced my card with no questions asked, I like that.Upgrading from a 980 ti to this card, I can see some improvement. While the 980 ti could run my games at ultra, I usually ran on high for better performance. No need with this card, it can run ultra just fine on what I play – fo4, pubg, and others. Having said that, if my 980 ti had not gone bad when it did, I would have waited for next gen to upgrade. EVGA does include some software to over clock the card, but I haven’t used it for anything but the in-game overlay to display it’s temperature while playing games.So now that I am an EVGA fanboy, I do recommend you buy EVGA for outstanding product and warranty service.

Watch out for the fan cables! They dangle!

Good performance… too bad it could have self destructed out of the box. The fan wires run under the blades and (in typical orientation) hang down toward the fan blades. Before I even plugged it in I spun the fans to make sure they moved freely and – yep, clipping the wires out of the box. They were held in place by 1 zip tie, and not nearly tight enough. To remedy, I took off the original zip tie (which was not adequately tight to even hold the wire in place as intended) and replaced it with 3 more ties of the same size and gently tugged the slack over toward the power connector end of the card. Other than that, works great.Photo shows where i put the 3 ties. Tedious to route the ties without disassembling.

Update: Human Error, Awesome Card

Fried in a couple of months, while it was working it was working great. I didn’t even overclock it much which is what really baffles me. I tried different PCIE slots just to verify it wasn’t the slot.Basically what happens is I turn on the PC and it starts alarming, open up the case to physically see what’s going on. Turn the PC back on, notice there’s a quick blink in the 1080ti light graphic on the side as if there is a power flux, PC beeps, fans stop. That’s it. Unfortunately I don’t have another PC to try this in to see if it’s my motherboard, but I did test all slots with my 980ti and they all work. So I’m calling this card dead and fried.If there is ANYONE who might know something or I missed something please let me know, I really don’t want to spend another $700-$800 on a card so soon.Update: Human error. Issue fixed! Awesome card!

What a BEAST of a video card

I’ve been using this video card for almost a year now and wow, this thing is a monster. It handles everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. Video editing, whatever game you want to play and looks amazing during Virtual Reality with my HTC Vive.If you’re looking for something that will run your games for a long time, look no further!

Works great

I have been running it about 9 months straight, no issues so far. I am considering getting a second one and diving into sLI to see what all the hype is about.

Amazing if you can afford.

Amazing graphics card if you can afford it. I’m pairing it with the predator 1440p 144 hz gsync monitor and I can run most games at 144 hz stable after tinkering with the settings. Gsync makes lower frame rate games feel stable too, such as Hunt: Showdown. I get about 40ish FPS last I played and it feels like 60 FPS.

Simply awesome

This card runs anything you throw at it at max settings without breaking a sweat. I am not sure how is stacks up against the RTX cards, but I have read they are 15-25% faster for triple the price. In 5 years when Ray Tracing is a thing, it will be time to upgrade.

Keeping this card cool will yield the biggest benefits

Consistently boosts above stated “boost clock range” – 1,923 MHz in most games. Keeping this card cool will yield the biggest benefits, although at 1,900+ MHz, there isn’t much room left in Pascal even with water. IMO, this is one of the most solid Pascal 1080 Ti products out there given the premiums asked for more exotic solutions that yield marginal performance gains vs. this.

Good card, meh cooling

The card runs great, and I recommend purchasing it IF you can get it at the MSRP of $699. My only problem with it is the cooling, with only two fans it can get kind of toasty

Great card, until mine died.

Great card louder then I was used to with my Strix 1070. But got the job done until it died a few months later. Contacted EVGA. And they took it in for RMA and they ended up sending me a 2080. Still miss the 11GB VRAM

Good card if the price is right.

Good card for the price I paid. I have seen this cardgo from 749 which is what I paid to 950, which I wouldn’t pay. Runs all titles, VR and 2D with no issue at 1440p and some in game settings turned down, such as shadows, AA, reflections….

Had it for 2 years

Got it 2 years ago now and I have not had a single problem at all. I love it. Still costs as much as it did 2 years ago though lol.

Value

This is probably the best purchase that I have ever made. I honestly recommend this to anyone who wants to upgrade the GPU. this will last you years on end and there is no need to ever buy any other GPU unless it burns up.

Efficient heatsink + Liquid metal = FTW4 edition

Received card, pulled off heat sink, replaced stock thermal paste with liquid metal. Boosts to 2ghz on its own, threw on a 2.2ghz oc for fun on stock power. Fans never go above 35% keeping card at 70c under extreme load even with 75f ambient.

Very big but powerful

I was going to return this because I thought I bought the wrong one, boy was I wrong. I’m keeping it!
