Help picking 2080 ti

[DAVIDLAROCK]

Hi,

 

I am looking to purchase x2 2080 ti cards for a multiple GPU set up.

My requirements are they need to be dual slot to fit my motherboard and higher clock speed of around 1600mhz, I won't be doing anything fancy and no over clocking.

 

My question is should I go with the 2080 ti founders edition or something else?

 

I'm looking at the gigabyte windforce OC or the EVGA gaming xc (not ultra)

Would these cards be better for cooling as opposed to the founder's edition?

 

I'm concerned about cooling also as I'll be running them with a 1 slot gap. So the coolest 2080 ti would be better.

 

Thanks!

you could go with a evga xc hybrid on top and a regular xc on the bottom, just ask evga if the bridge works for that setup.

I'm new to configuring PCs so I'd only be able to get a card that I can just slot in unfortunately.

the top card's gonna be hot, so a hybrid's the best option, it's still plug and play, and i've been thinking about buying a xc hybrid myself, but i've ditched sli for years cause reasons.

Wouldn't I have to screw in a radiator? And where would I put it?

 

I don't have my build yet but it'll have a 360mm radiator for the cpu

top or back would work, a build i did had a 360 on top and the gpu rad in the back.
