  • This review benchmarks the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming video card, using NVIDIA's Ampere silicon. We've tested the 3080 FTW3 with all 3 VBIOSes, including the XOC VBIOS, for overclocking, thermals, and noise.
    Sponsor: Thermaltake Core P3 on Amazon (geni.us/x0H6c)
    The EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming goes up against previous cards we've tested, as we begin to slowly compile a list of the best and worst 3080s. So far, we haven't had any that land in "objectively bad" camp -- but there's time yet. We now have the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra, the ASUS TUF OC, Gigabyte Eagle, and Founders Edition, and we have a few more to work through in between the other reviews. In this review, we're focusing entirely on thermals, noise, noise-normalized thermals, power-normalized thermals, power, and overclocking, with no focus on gaming. The gaming results are roughly the same as in our RTX 3080 review, plus a couple FPS here and there. It's the quality of life and OC features that really matter for these.
    The EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra will eventually be on Amazon here: geni.us/GEFv2c
    ASUS RTX 3080 TUF OC will eventually be on Amazon here: geni.us/grIy
    The Gigabyte Eagle will eventually be on Amazon here: geni.us/LBj3H

      @@GamersNexus to add to that, the reason for it is the cards have been universally increased well beyond MSRP. MSRP was 1139 AUD but just about all cards start at 1400. The EVGA FTW3 Ultra is 1260 from a store called PLE. It's 1500 elsewhere. For some odd reason only one retailer sells EVGA at their MSRP and funny enough the other variants at the same stores are well over MSRP same as other stores. Must of had a deal or something. That's the only reason it's "cheap" for us because everything else has been price gouged that bad.

      @@CaveyMoth A vacuum is the best kind insulator, so a horrible cooling setup. In a vacuum you lose two out of four types of heat transfer, you are not able to shed heat by conduction or convection, since phase changes are usually not feasible as well, you're left with only radiation. That's why our main method of insulation is using air, which as a gas is much closer to a vacuum then water. Anything that traps a layer of air, like Styrofoam or dow jackets or double glazed windows will be an excellent insulator, even better if it traps a vacuum.

    I was planning on getting the TUF since I'm not going to overclock, but my local Microcenter restocked and only had the Strix and FTW3, so I ended up going with the EVGA. It's a bit overkill since I'm running everything at factory clock settings, but I did get an 850w 80+ gold psu, so I might try my hand at some overclocking once the weather cools down in Texas so my room doesn't become an oven.

Personally I’d rather take TUF OC but remember for the same price the Trio has the same noise normalized thermals (according to other reviewers, I want to see what Steve reveals), and has some of the best out of the box boost clocks and acoustics. Just sayin I think there is a debate there and am interested in Steve’s analysis.
      And yes I understand the TUF OC has a beefier power delivery system. But again that doesn’t make MSI’s inadequate. MSI’s past Trios have always been pretty standard in VRM quality but have still been very popular. Just throws another factor into the decision-making. Interested to see what Steve says :)

I'm contemplating building around the x570 when the the new Ryzen 5000 series CPUs arrive. As far as I have seen, no one has put a video out of a build with all Gen 4 components. ( 3000 series graphic card, gen 4 M.2, Ryzen CPU ) and the proper speed ram to take advantage of it all. I would love to know if I build my new PC around all Gen 4 , will it be worth it?

Yet you were able to set your world record with one of these cards. Something isn't adding up here, and we should really see frequency maximus at max fans, etc....
