i had an 8800 melt to my mobo when my water loop leaked so i sent it into them with part of my mobo hooked to it and i got an 8800 ultra as a replacement. not sure how the service is now but if i ever go back to nvidia it will be evga all the way.

5:50 I AM in heaven

*TinyTomLogan* Exquisite work, as always. First class review.

Do you know if this card is compatible with the 1080 Ti hybrid shroud? I just got this card before the new hybrid card was announced and want to throw one on there at some point

I have this card is 1 fan post to be on and not the other on this gpu or does the other start spinning when the temps go high?

liked your video, just received my sc2 today. do you happen to know what the seemingly random white lines over the warranty sticker are for? I thought it was just me, but the way those lines overlap on the warranty sticker looks awfully akin to mine. Thanks

Just bought one. My fifth EVGA card(I upgrade fairly often, it's not due to any failing obviously). Going back to 560ti. Their customer service is fantastic. Recently gave me a new 760 GTX when my old one in one of my systems failed after 3 years of use. No questions asked and no hassles. I also respect them for the way they handled the whole heating issue with my 1080 GTX. I don't have problems with mine, but if any arise I have no doubts they will handle them with professionalism. Goes to show that customer service and honoring warranties with no hassles nets you many loyal customers.

how does the upgrade work with evga ? say i have a 1080 superclocked 2 icx card and trade it in through there step up program.... do i get a founders edition 1080 ti or do i get a super clocked 2 1080ti?

Bought one and arrives today! Can't wait

So im trying to change the paste on my SC2 but after removing 4 bottom screws and the 3 spring screws, the cooler still refuses to separate. Is there a screw I'm missing or am I not pulling hard enough?

Ur reviews rock

this card looks quite impressive, thanks again Tom for this awesome review. I will buy a 1080ti soon and I will Watercool it like always, but I'm not sure which one to get. FE or MSI armor 1080ti, the founders already has a water cooler available and for the Armor the block will be released soon. does the advanced PCB of the MSI will help with overclocking or does the FE easily hit 2GHz without problems?

Got my SC2 last week, it kicks ass. I just ordered the Power Link because of this video, awesome review!

@@blindenergy6694 It's an amazing card, I hope it brings you as much joy playing games as mine did back then!

13:03 You have the best teardown of the 1080tisc2 on youtube. Can you confirm that in order to access the gpu (since I need to reapply thermal paste) that it's just a matter of the 4 screws around the gpu itself and then the 3 other spring loaded screws that you pointed out at this timestamp?

How many mm are all thermal Pads?

Can I remove the fans without taking the whole gpu apart? My fans got noisy, I thought of maybe changing the grease on them or something

I've watched 6 (long) videos now and not one person says how loud it is at idle. Do the fans turn off at idle? Obviously, they spin while gaming but do they turn off when you're just surfing the web or working on spreadsheet? Otherwise, it was a nice video so thank you.

would their be any noticeable difference in performance between the sc2 and the sc2 black edition .. i think that the only difference is the the sensors not the cooling

in the benchmark result it's said "EVGA GTX 1080TI ICX" does it include all the ICX series? or did all the ICX series perform the same? Sorry for bad english

How are load temps? Trying to figure out if ftw3 is even worth it

Great review Tom. As Im a Huge EVGA fanboy. Hope You do a 1080TI Classified versison review when it comes out. Keep up the great reviews love the channel.

Thermal pad size?

How is this card compared to the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW Hybrid liquid cooling edition? Is there a huge benefit to getting the liquid cooling one over the open-air cooled? I do not think I will be overclocking mine, so wondering if hybrid would even be worth it.

Tom , you had a rog centurion headset on the shelf , would love to here your thoughts on these. love these new evga cards, great video as usual , very detailed review :)

Came for the vid card review, subscribed for the model of the Vulcan :)

does someone know.. how do i know which manufacturers make the cards(1080ti) with the least COIL WHINE in general? i have been a bit unlucky with extreme coilwhine on Evga SC2! thx guys :)

Makes you wonder why the manufactures don't just build the power atx ports on the side rather than in the front?

@JsGarage

Well it all started when graphics cards got long. They started putting the power on the side because of the long length and power on the end you needed a hell of a lot of case room which still holds true today. I think they should have hard jacks in both locations like some pro cards do. Although too many noob consumers would probably try to connect 4 PCIe power adapters lol.

It's called give company lip service, notice how he hits all of evga marketing talking points.

With you point on the power connectors, I get it but, I do computer work as a side job as it is as much a love for me as my work and I frequently have older teenagers come in saying they have their dad's 2 year old professional computer and they want me to make it be able to game. Usually these teens have more than you'd expect and putting a 1080ti in a fairly powerful Dell is easy and works but, I have had to use molex adapters to make it work a lot of the times.

EVGA does have the 1080 Ti FTW 3 available in white as part of the elite program.

This or the SC Black Edition?

B&H has this on sale for $779.99 for 4th of July and it comes with The Crew Game for free! Just got mine. Almost bought it last night for $849.00 on Amazon last night and told myself to wait for 1 July to see if the price drops. Woohoo. :)

BEAST

Great review. I bought my GTX 1080 Ti SC2 direct from EVGA and it cost me €809 here in the U.K., which worked out at £706.91 according to my credit card. I thought that was a good deal as it is only £8 more than the Founder's Edition card and the SC2 has much better cooling and runs quieter. I'm absolutely delighted with it so far as someone who plays games maxed out at 2560x1440 and 60 FPS (some even at 4K using DSR or with SSAA). My last card was the GTX 1080 FTW but the Ti is definitely a noticeable improvement over that card as all my games now run at 60 FPS and I have the headroom to spare for future titles. It's an expensive card but absolutely worth it if you can afford it.

I hope we don't get anymore 1080ti reviews Tom. I have owned a custom 1080ti since day one, but even I am burnt out from watching/reading all about them now :)

Brilliant review as always. Why the hell does anyone look at anyone else for this stuff. Linus, Bitwit take notes.

Time for an upgrade

I have the normal SC black version and it looks the same as this. Performs really well. What I don't understand is why they bother putting those cables in, or the driver CD? Surely no-one who buys a 1080ti needs either cable adaptors or outdated drivers and it must cost them a bit more per card to include these things?

I have a EVGA NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB, do you think it's worth the upgrade to the EVGA NVIDIA SC2 11GB? I recently bought the 1070 so I can return it and now that I'm paid again, I have enough to pay the extra for the SC2 11GB model. I mostly play WoW, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm. Occasionally I'll play Guild Wars 1 and 2. Elder Scrolls Online. And lately Mass Effect Andromeda, though haven't tried it out on 4k yet. I have a 55 4k tv that I plan to put it on in the following days. My processor is a 8 core AMD FX 8300 3.3 GHz if that info helps any. I have 20 GB of ram, planning to upgrade that to 32GB. Thanks and look forward to the reply! You seem very knowledgeable and look forward to the feedback!

2 8GB sticks and a 4GB stick. FPS on ultra, with shadow and liquid detail turned to low it's only bounces between 20-28 in the broken isles, which is one of the new areas for the game that's slightly crowded at times. But in a dungeon/instance it can go up to around 40-50 fps.

Just an fyi, you'll actually want to use at least a 650w power supply so your card doesn't throttle under full load, especially if your system is stocked with hard drives, fans and rgb. It will run with 500w but its the bare minimum. You may notice performance drop. I use a 750w 80 gold rated supply. But I have a bunch of drives, fans and leds.

I would love to buy a card from a firm like EVGA, especially seeing how they've handled the mentioned issue, but so far they haven't made a card for me. I'll stick with the really quiet cards. The Powerlink: LOVE the idea, but think they delivered half a product. Having the psu connect to the adapter inside the motherboard room, instead of behind the motherboard tray (long enough cables should ensure compatability with cases with too little room beind the motherboard tray), is moronic. Why not help people make their cases prettier? IF done properly it's a VERY cool idea, that i can't believe noone's had before now. kudos.

Great review. Right now I'm still running a 1080p monitor. Over 6 years old and still running good. But when it does decide to die on me I will be making a jump to the 1440p or 4k level. I know this card will work at 1080p and I know it will be way overkill but will this card; since it's so fast, hinder my games at the 1080p level? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

@connor040606

7 жыл бұрын

John Athanassion it won't hinder your games per say. In fact your eliminating any sort of gpu bottleneck at that resolution with this card. Your CPU becomes the bottleneck here, and due to the insane power of the 1080ti, the CPU will not be able to write data as fast as the gpu. When you increase the Resolution up to 1440, majority of the load is placed on the GPU when rendering games. In fact overclocking your CPU at this resolution may have only a small impact here, where as at 1080p, a CPU overclocking would be beneficial if running a card as fast as a 1080ti.

you cant go overboard with cooling on a 1080 ti, it makes so much heat you cant cool it silently.

The problem I have with the "fuse". Is that is seems like a "warranty shortener". Meaning you pop a fuse, you RMA the card. EVGA "fix" it by just replacing the fuse. It lasts another 6 months before it pops again, but guess what. Now its just outside the warranty. Thereby being a fuse more focused on lowering EVGA RMA cost than other... Its also a component that can incorporate planed failure. Like you see on some washing machines that have swapped out parts that should be metal with plastic. So it fails a few years earlier than it otherwise would and so on. In short, not a fan of the EVGA fuse thing.
