EVGA08G-P4-2081-KR GeForce RTX 2080 Gaming 8GB GDDR6 Dual HDB Graphics Card, Black Edition

This card is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade to my THREE (3) GTX-980's in several ways: 1. It's ONE card, meaning much lower power. 2. It's one card meaning much lower heat generation. I see no more than 50 DEG C in my setup, whereas before I was seeing at least one of the three cards topping 80's often. 3. Takes all three of my monitors, and my HTC Vive connected. I learned that Vive only works direct through the HDMI, and not through a converted display port connection. I had to find the "right" setup with the other 3 cards to make sure it worked. Having 12 ports doesn't mean you can plug in 12 things. 4. It takes up a LOT less space in my case, so the whole thing is lighter. 5. I do not hear this card at all. The others I could hear especially when one would heat up. 6. The card snapped it in less than 1 minute, and I didn't even need to upgrade the drivers. I did so anyway, just to be sure, but it set itself up just fine, with three monitors (non-surround) just like I had it before. 7. I have yet to see GPU usage above 80% on anything. I have everything I play maxed. The only time it peaked was when I ran the MSI Kumbustor performance check. 8. It has more, faster memory than those three 980's combined. 9. No SLI messing around. 10. I buy EVGA because they are quality built. I've never had one fail on me. This one is built solid and the fan set up is a work of art (to a mechanical engineer...). Bottom line: Very happy with my long awaited upgrade.

So, been using this for a few months now and I couldn't be more pleased...except for the price, which I think is inflated by a couple hundred $$. Then again, it does something I've never achieved before with any other GPU....My objective for my new PC was total fan-less silence when I'm not gaming...and relative quiet even when I do.The huge heatsink on this EVGA GPU (along with a 360mm Corsair AIO for my conservatively overclocked i7-9700k) are the key elements which allowed me to do this. The radiators are so massive that the entire systems stays very cool even without the fans spinning.I installed it all inside a roomy Define R6 along with a few slow and quiet 140mm fans for those moments when the GPU/CPU combo are heavily active, and honestly even then...under heavy load...it's still much quieter then my previous machine was idle.I should also note that I did NOT install the EVGA Precision X control software when I first installed the card, intending to later as I have with all my previous EVGA cards...but this one has run so flawlessly that I haven't even bothered. The stock curve on mine doesn't seem to spin up fans until ~60c, and I can see via HWMONITOR that my card never even approaches near those temps until I game. Even then though the fans are large enough, and the rpm's slow enough, that I have to put my ear up against the case to hear anything.Performance wise, it's not quite the quantum leap that I was expecting from my previous GTX980...it feels twice as fast, and my benchmarks more then confirm so, but I expect that when I skip a generation. I have noticed and appreciated the additional memory (8GB vs 6GB in my old 980) allowing me to load more highly textured and detailed settings at 4K resolutions when I play TW:Warhammer. That game sometimes maxed my 980's memory out and would "swap" if you will to my machines primary memory, which sometimes resulted in buggy behavior.

If you are reading this, then you probably already did your homework on this card. I will "try" to keep it shortEVGA in the GPU industry is usually regarded as a top tier brand and this card is no different, it provides stable great gaming experience with great temperatures. The overhead for overclocking seems to be decent but as of this writing I didn't fully explore that yet.If you are considering it for RTX I greatly recommend it but under the following circumstances, for now I only tested it on Battlefield V (Max RTX, Max Graphics) and it provides a stable 60 FPS experience on 1080p. Just to be clear 1080p while using this card is a great overkill.I opted for it as I like to record gameplay and upload also there is a good chance I will be upgrading my monitor within this year. so I wanted to make sure I don't get any issues while recording. This is how I personally was able to justify paying such a premium.I'm sure this card can pull 1440p easily with RTX ON with frames somewhere around 80 FPswith RTX Of however you can expect to be able to run 4K Games at 60 FPS stable without any issuesThe following is just my humble opinion:If you fall under any other category, other than what I mentioned above, I strongly suggest you look for more reviews or wait this one out (assuming you don't care about RTX) based on your personal situation. For example playing 4K with RTX on Max using this card isn't going to happen you will need to get the 2080 TI for that. If you have a monitor with anything higher than 120 FPS like the 144, you should also consider the 2080 TI.From what I gathered the new RTX 2060 Lineup should be able to get a 60 FPS gameplay at 1080p with RTX settings at Medium so this could also be an option for you if you are a 1080p gamer.The new RTX Lineup is rather complicated more than usual but due to that complication it also offers a great variety of options. That's why my final advice would be to take your time and read/watch reviews, benchmarks, and study your specific case carefully (Your monitor Resolution & Frames, RTX Settings you want, possibility of upgrading your monitor in the close future).International Shoppers rejoice:If you live in Kuwait I'm guessing the rest of the gulf as well, Amazon now ships directly to Kuwait in record times, Door to Door with full tracking and decent fees (make sure its Amazon Global Service). Thank you Amazon!

Algunos problemas menores como coil whine y abanicos hacen ruidos ligeros al encenderse, me comunique con EVGA y el coil whine se reduce con el uso o hacer burn-ins corriendo programas como ATITool, 3~ semanas desde su compra ya no lo escucho.El sonido de los abanicos es inofensivo y solo se escucha cuando empiezan a girar por primera vez.Fácilmente mantiene un overclock de +100clock, se mantienen extremadamente frío, nunca a llegado a mas de 65c en full load con los abanicos en automático (alrededor de 60% 1500rpm~ a esa temperatura) sin escucharlos.

I upgraded from a 1050 ti and I am very pleased with this card. The only negative is the price.I was a bit worried to spend so much money on a graphics card given the stories of failures inthe 20 series so I went with EVGA because they are supposed to have the best warranty service andAmazon because of its return policy. I got the card on new year's eve and that was a pleasantsurprise because it wasn't estimated to arrive until Jan 7, 2019. I spent new years eveinstalling it! I have played 1 - 2 hours of games a day since then and the card has been 100%solid. It did get a bit hot at first but i played with the fan curves and moved some of the panelsaround on my Thermal Take Core V1 (yes it fits) and now the heat is okay and only reaches 75 Celsiusin heavy gaming. The recommended power supply is 650 watt but i am using the card with my 550 wattpower supply with no issues. My system doesn't have a lot of power hungry components so iam okay. Many people criticize the 20 series and ray tracing and DLSS but i am pretty amazed athow realistic games are with these features. The reflections especially during explosions in BFV areawesome. I received the free battlefield 5 code when the card shipped and installed it with no problems and I play itregularly. The graphics are realistic and pretty awesome.The precision software is used to overclock, monitor temps, set the leds and fan curves. Make sure you use thecorrect version, you need the x1 version for 20 series cards. The card does not have a lot of LED lighting and it can be turned off if you want. The lighting is only at the top of the card.Some people think the card itself is ugly, but i have to say that the card looks much better in real lifethan in pictures. The card has a back plate. I also got the free trim kit from EVGA but i haven't installed it in the card yet (i don't want to go through the work of taking the card out of my case to install it).Would i recommend the card and amazon? Yes. It depends on how much you will use it and what hardwareyou have now. If you have a 1080 ti maybe you should wait but if you had a 1050 ti like me and likegreat graphics in games then it is worth the money.

The card is good and once is set up is works well. I would overall recommend it.There was only one small issue, which is fan wires were not tighten enough to the heat frame, and when fans run at low RPM, you could hear a "clicky" noise coming from them. This noise disappear as the fan speed raises.This is a very well known issue in the EVGA forums and I was able to fix it myself by manually tighten fan wires to the metal heat dissipation frame.

Good value and can play games at Max setting. Fan speed is soft and pump sound is not as noisy as most reviewed. Only when you listen to the pump really close to be able to hear it.

I've been using it non stop on my gaming pc, as my first gpu I'm blown away by the performace in both fps at high frame rates and Triple A titles at maxed out settings. The RGB is nice but not amazing.//La he usado sin parar en mi pc de gaming, es mi primer gpu, pero me encanta el poder de esta tarjeta. La uso tanto para fps como titulos triple A con las opciones al máximo. El RGB es bueno, pero no increíble
