EVGA also innovated cutouts in the PCB at various places, so air from the cooler can flow right through, similar to the dual axial flow-through cooling solution of the Founders Edition card. This triple-slot cooler leverages a large aluminium fin-stack heatsink with high fin surface area and three hydro-dynamic bearing fans that are arranged such that the middle fan is pushed slightly off the alignment of the two other fans. The GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra won't be what it is without the innovative new iCX3 cooling solution by EVGA. The card also takes advantage of PCI-Express 4.0 x16, which means it is ready for new-generation desktop platforms. The new "GA102" silicon at the heart of the RTX 3080 is built on a new 8 nm silicon fabrication process Samsung designed specially for NVIDIA. To ensure a steady stream of data to these, the company sought to significantly increase the memory bandwidth, by opting not just for 10 GB of memory across a 320-bit wide memory interface, but innovating a whole new memory standard-GDDR6X, which ticks at a blistering 19 Gbps, working out to 760 GB/s of memory bandwidth-70% higher than that of the RTX 2080. NVIDIA has also more than doubled the SIMD horsepower of the RTX 3080 over its predecessor, the RTX 2080, with a staggering 8,704 CUDA cores, 68 RT cores, 272 tensor cores, 272 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. NVIDIA heavily leverages AI in its consumer graphics stack, including an AI-based denoiser for RTX, and for the DLSS performance enhancing feature. The 2nd generation RTX is a combination of the new "Ampere" CUDA core that can process concurrent FP32+INT32 operations, 2nd generation RT cores that feature dedicated hardware with temporal components to accelerate raytraced motion-blur, besides a doubling in raytracing performance over "Turing" RT cores, and the new 3rd generation Tensor cores that leverage the sparsity phenomenon in deep-learning neural nets to accelerate AI inference performance by an order of magnitude over the previous generation. With the 2nd gen RTX, NVIDIA is introducing raytraced motion-blur, an effect that's so difficult to pull off in real-time, that it takes fixed-function hardware. NVIDIA perfected a means of combining traditional raster graphics with certain real-time raytraced elements, such as lighting, shadows, reflections, ambient occlusion, and global illumination, to make the hybrid raster+raytraced 3D scene as true to life as possible. The new Ampere graphics architecture by NVIDIA brings you the 2nd generation of the company's RTX real-time raytracing technology. The RTX 3080 offers AAA RTX gaming at 4K UHD at a price you got 1440p-class graphics cards for. This is because the RTX 3080 10 GB is targeted squarely at gamers who want to play at 4K UHD with RTX raytracing turned on, unlike the RTX 3090, which has potential benefits for the creator crowd thanks to its massive 24 GB memory. The GeForce RTX 3080 "Ampere" is being pushed by NVIDIA as its latest flagship graphics card, even knowing that the faster RTX 3090 exists, too. We see a unique "V3" arrangement of fans on this massive graphics card. EVGA seems to have listened to what the high-end market wants in terms of aesthetics, and has given the FTW3 Ultra generous amounts of RGB lighting and product style. The FTW3 Ultra in this review is a fully custom-design rendition of the RTX 3080 by EVGA, and is targeted at those who seek a well-rounded RTX 3080 card complete with all the overclocking features and RGB bling characteristic of premium-custom graphics cards. I'm just not sure how hard the GPU is being pushed in CoD but it is maxed out with RT on, pretty much capped at 120FPS on a 3440x1440p monitor.EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra is the company's premium air-cooled graphics card based on the swanky new GeForce RTX 3080 "Ampere" GPU that everyone wants a piece of. Only thing is I don't know how to show GPU usage in precision, I might change to afterburner since I like it more. As far as noise I can't hear it over my noctua fan running at 48% (3000rpm 140mm version). Lokius81 Could you say what temps you are getting and how loud/quiet it is? :)Īfter 1 round of CoD (about 6 minutes, I know not the best test) my temps were between 60-65, usually more in the lower end of that. And yeah I will probably add the hybrid kit to it some time later. Just played a match of CoD and my clock boosted to 2025 for a little bit then settled at 2010 for the rest of the match. You might boost to 2100, but you might average only 2000 due to heat production and subsequent lowering of the average core mhz What’s important with the 3000 series is not what it boosts up to, but where your boost averages.
