Gamers Nexus what about the EVGA gtx 1080 ti ftw3 hybrid? I bought that one after watching your review. It’s still in box and I can return it. Is that one the best AIO on thermals? You still reckoned it? Thanks! Price was $849.

Obviously the cardboard box with a picture of the 1080ti is the best. Cool ambient temperature right out of the box

and the 1080ti will be even WORSE at real-time raytracing, its better than like 10 fps keep in mind the 2080 is 800, not 1200 the 2080ti is 1200 like every other generation, the the 970 is basically a 780, 1070 is basically a 980 and probably a 2080 is basically a 1080ti the 2080 will still most likely be better than a 1080ti, but not by much but with real-time raytracing the 2080 will be much better than a 1080ti until some community benchmarks are released i wouldnt judge it off of developers say, because they have to do optimization and whatnot maybe dx13 will have even better support for real-time raytracing? also did the developer of metro say which cards they are trying to get fullhd 60fps? thats pretty important too

@@yeah6247 Yes it will probably be better but you can get a new 1080ti for 650€ here and the 2080 is 900€ min. so even if it is like 5-10% faster i won't care cause its like 250€ more expensive and "only" has 8gb (well therefor gddr6) but i really wanted that 11gb. So imo the 1080ti is the better deal, atleast here in germany. And raytracing is still very experimental imo. Only few games have it and i dont want to play on fullhd for raytracing.

and 3 years later, I bought one of the MSI cards second hand (Gaming X). It's lovely and very quiet. Thank you for all your tests on it, I went back and watched all the videos and I'm glad this one came across my path!

Picked the ROG Strix OC model myself, though I was also intent on matching my ROG Strix Z370 color scheme and maintaining a single controller software across the whole build (Asus Aura/RGB)

That was a very well cool video, thank you!

Another thorough and informative review. Excellent.

Excellent video, this is really really useful. Please do this for the current generation cards and for every generation from now on.

Damn some one actually went back, and started to put time stamps in the video it self, You are a genius!

insanely well done. New viewer here and simply utterly impressed with the quality of every single of your videos. You do deserve way more Attention ! I dont know how many GPU Comparison Videos I have seen where it was shown that every card was the same ( which they aren´t ) , every card nearly had the same clock, FPS and sometimes even thermals .

Amazing video. It's clear how much you care about educating the consumer base. This video has educated my decision greatly; going for the EVGA SC2 or ASUS ROG Strix.

Do you think you could get your hands on the Asus 1080ti Poseidon? I heard that it's amazing.

I hope you guys get a hold of the MSI 1080 Ti Gaming X Trio so you can test it and compare it with the others. You had good things to say about the regular Twin Frozr MSI Gaming X so I can only assume the Trio would be better.

Did you include or test the Palit 1080ti super jetstream?

Thank for the info

After checking many reviews of many models, I bought the Strix last week and I couldn't be happier. Really quiet in any task, temps below 70C all the time (usually in the 65-67 range) and I got a pretty nice 2050 Mhz OC out of it. I also feel it has the best looking design this gen and it came with 2 games. No coilwhine either excluding the loading times of Wolfenstein 2 that run at 1000fps. So no complains whatsoever thus far.

Angry Rambo Show you sound really butt hurt, or should I say ~angry 😏, that Palit doesn't ship to NA. I also love how you base you judgement on the card on how it looks and not how it performs. IMO strix is the best, but if you only care about performance and you can't/don't want to spend the extra premium, the Palit is a great option, obviously only if you live in a country where they ship, ore else the price argument doesn't make sense

I find it odd how AIO liquid-cooled cards like the Hybrids and Sea Hawks really don't get mentioned at all here. I'm looking to buy a FTW3 Hybrid for my next build unless the 2080 TIs are out by then.

If anyone is wondering the best hybrid version it’s definitely the EVGA FTW3 Hybrid.

Thanks very much Nexus i have a strix 980ti and the strix 1080ti is next,fantastic,steve from OZ.

What about the MSI gaming X trio 1080ti with its triple frozr cooler.

My local computer shop had a ZOTAC connection and had a 1080 ti mini in stock for 12% over MSRP I heard some negative stuff but I was building a smaller form factor so I pulled the trigger. WOW was I surprised even under stress temps never above 80c usually in the 70s and I did a extremely moderate oc through Firestorm and I'm at 1999 mhz imo it's a phenomenal little card...

Can't wait for Vega AIB cards review XFX Double Edition and Powercolor Devil, most interesting for me is thermals and noise level of these cards

wheres this video for all the 20 series? please include hybrids as im really tempted to get a hybrid for my SFF builds, and if you can do it close to the release of the cards would be awesome.

A clock for clock, core for core comparison between Ryzen and Coffee Lake would be interesting. Not so much from a consumer advice perspective, as nobody in their right mind is going to run their Coffee Lake chips underclocked. It would just be interesting to see exactly how far ahead intel is in different applications and games, at the same fequency and core count.

I've had my 1080 Ti strix since nearly original release date, I think I bought it a couple weeks in, I kept it after getting my 3080, it was such a good card and still so useful I couldn't justify dumping it.. its now in my workstation build doing video encoding workloads with premiere pro

I'm pretty happy with my MSI Gaming X. I love the TwinFrozr Cooler since my GTX770.

Thanks for the direct links. So-- since 2017 the SC2 black has about doubled in price?

So what are your thoughts on the Poseidon? As an easy crossover air/watercooled card it was my card of choice; I switched from a Twin Frozr card to it and while thermals weren't the greatest before watercooling, I love it.

6:32 all that dust. thought i was watching stranger things where they are in the tunnels! are you the Demogorgon?

4:51 Is that MSI Armor card missing one of its memory chips on the right side of the GPU?

Great video thanks a lot. How about 1080 TI K|NGP|N?

I used EVGA step up program and got the 1080 ti Black SC edition. Only paid $150 more for it. I originally got the 1080 FTW2 for $550 so I guess overall I spent $700 for the Black edition ti. I really just want to use the card for 1440p Ultra settings with my 144hz monitor. I hope I made the right choice. For thermals I made a case modification on my Phanteks p400, better front panel air flow.

My Asus strix 1080ti has more Coil whine than my old Fury x. I need to reduce the power draw to 85% to shut it up, very disappointed with it. I later bought a EVGA FTW3, and it doesn't whine even with 110% power draw. I have owned 4 EVGA never had one with coil whine. Cant say the same for MSI/ASUS/Gigabyte

Hi, may I ask, now when 2080 and 2080Ti are released, which model of 1080Ti is best to go for? apart from those mentioned in the video, there's EVGA K|ngp|n version, so depending on actual prices (of used models, within warranty though), the battles remains between ASUS Strix and EVGA FTW3?

No FTW3 Hybrid??? Such a beast card.

I see a Colorful iGame Vulcan X on the table. I'd really like to know the thermals and noise of that card, even though it is obviously not worth the price increase. Much appreciated.

What liquid cooling did you use for the armor ?

I'm saving up for one atm. Probably the Strix. Do you think they're still worth it at the price they're currently at? Or should I wait for new gpus,? whenever that is.

Excellent information. Now all I need is a bigger credit card. My current one cannot hold the price of these GPUs. LOL

Is a stock MSI 1080 ti Armor still a card one should avoid buying even with the current card supply? I was able to get a 1080 ti Armor and a msi 1080 (no ti) Gaming X. I planned on returning the 1080 or selling it to my brother for cost. But after watching the review on the Armor card I'm no so sure.

I love my gaming x trio. Cool temperatures and very quiet!

Any card with notable low/no coil whine you can recommend?

how about a test of all the Special Editions such as Kingpin and Lightning Z

Evga 1080ti Sc2 hybrid. Done. Card never went over 60 degrees for me underload at a constant 2gig clockspead

I m planing to upgrade to 1080ti. Still can't decide between strix 1080 ti vs GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080TI Gaming OC 11GB GDDR5X. Any suggestion? Performance/price

Could you test the EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid?

So is it worth paying 30€ more for the Asus Strix (not the OC version) compared to MSI Gaming X card?

Asus has indeed done a great job this gen. Ive owned a 1060, 1080 and now a 1080ti This Gen. All ROG strix models. I am counting on EVGA so retake their Throne during Next gen, so lets see how it goes!

MIssing some of the really high enders - kingpin and lightning Z

Just ordered the Strix 1080 ti, upgrading from EVGA 1080 sc. My main reason to upgrade is to play high or ultra at my Alienware AW3418DW monitor around 100+ fps.
