Which 2080Ti

Hello!

 

I was just curious to see what and/or if there is a difference between the 2080Ti models that make the higher end models worth the premiums over the cheaper models?

 

If so, which one is worth going for?

 

Preferably it would be one with a higher power limit for overclocking.

 

Thanks!

Honestly, get any card with 2 or 3 fans (e.g. an ROG STRIX, EVGA XC2, Gigabyte WindForce).

usually the difference comes down to better cooling, for example EVGA has 11 different 2080ti's. The FTW models are priced higher than the XC models because they have better 3 fan coolers, larger heatsinks etc this helps the cards overclock higher and run cooler.

I was looking at the MSI GAMING X TRIO 2080Ti

 

Reviews for it look good, should I pay slightly more for one from EVGA?

I'd just get one of those middle of the bunch cards. Cheapest (by design) models run loud, but expensive models dont really beat the middle bunch nearly as much as their price suggests.

Yes, like the poster above me said their warranties are the best in the business and great customer service. When youre spending that much I'd definitely go EVGA
