1080 ti strix Vs turbo which should I buy?

[erikeriok1]

Hey guys I've decided to upgrade to a 1080 ti and found three different cards at different price points all of them are used.

1080 ti strix - 750$

1080 ti kfa2 exoc - 660$

1080 ti turbo -550$

Which card do you guys recommend?

Turbo.  They will all perform basically the same, and if you have a decent case then cooling won't be an issue.

Turbo will be loud though, espesh compared to the Strix which is pretty much the top card out there, I think it's a teeny bit ahead of the FTW from EVGA, and just edges out the MSI Gaming X. If the OP can afford it I'd personally go for the Strix. Unless you're planning to water/hybrid cool at any point, then the stock cooler is irrelevant.

any other? turbo is blower, so not that great imo.

Kfa2 looks kinda cheap if you ask me

strix is expensive, but one of the best, if not the best air cooled 1080 ti

The Turbo is a blower style card. Great in situations where you need a blower style card, but warmer than other types of AIB coolers. The price difference seems kind of worth the potential hit in GPU boost though. Strix was $769 at MC new just 2 weeks ago, so that seems the worst of the deals. I know they're out of stock now, but still not a great price.

Yeah but I'll have to upgrade my psu so the strix hits hard on the wallet what do you think about the kfa2 isn't it like the best of both worlds?

actually you don't really have to upgrade your psu, depending on what wattage you have. If you were planning a 450w or something lower than you already should have upgraded, and there should be sales on power supplies anyway since its cyber monday.

The frame difference definitely won't be very noticeable between them. There shouldn't be much of a reason to go for the more expensive ones.

really? the kfa2 and strix both have triple fan coolers and the turbo is a blower card.

Have you not seen any of the reviews when the 1080Ti came out?  They all run about the same frequency, it's just some heat or noise.  But for the price, only the OP can make that call.  I'd get the blower $550 if I was going used market.

honestly, I would too, then I would water cool the card.

I don't think that "makes less noise" is enough to justify paying 200$ extra, I'd go with the Turbo personally... after all for 750$ you could probably get a RTX 2080 already... unless you're from like a third world country where the RTX cards are completely ludicrously overpriced due to lack of supply.
