ASUS RTX 3080 STRIX OC vs RTX 3090 FE

Hi,

 

due to first a lot of bad luck and than a ton of good fortune Im currently in possession of two new Ampere GPUs at MRSP: first a 3090 FE and then also a 3080 STRIX OC.

Now I am curious if a FE 3090 (excluding VRAM) has any actual performance benefits compared to a 3080 Strix (I had one before an unexpected RMA got me this new one, which run at 2.05Ghz) and is the extra 33% (600 Euro) worth?

 

Thanks

For games, no. Performance at the same clocks is only 20% better and in reality, founders card runs slower due to thermals. Only thing that justifies the price is 24GB VRAM compared to 10GB, not something games will take advantage of.

The 3000 series founders cards run cooler though.

Yes, a friend of me already heard about it and called dips on the which ever card I want "to get rid off" - sorry.

But I heard mixed opinions about the fan noise level of the FEs, some say they are quite loud 😅

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the 3090 FE runs cooler because of the flowthrough design.

flowthrough design is only better if case airflow cant keep up.
