This EVGA GTX 1080 FTW is clocked the highest of any of the currently available air-cooled EVGA cards which also feature EVGA ACX 3.0 cooling technology. The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 featuring EVGA ACX 3.0 cooling has arrived with a retail price of $679, or $20 less than the Founders Edition of the GTX 1080 which is priced at $699. Let’s briefly look at the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW to see what it brings compared with the GTX 1080 Founders Edition. This evaluation is focused on each card’s performance, primarily comparing the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW against the Founders Edition of the GTX 1080, and we will try to answer the question, which card should you buy? We will then place this evaluation into our larger context of 13 video card configurations which we call “The Big Picture” to see if you should consider an upgrade or not. We will not recap Nvidia’s Pascal architecture here as with our GTX 1080 Founders Edition launch article, but will instead focus on the performance of the new EVGA GTX 1080 FTW versus the Founder’s Edition and against the Fury X. For this review we have updated our benchmark suite to Nvidia’s latest WHQL 368.39 GeForce drivers, and for Fury X, we used the latest 16.6.1 Crimson Hotfix beta drivers. We have already benchmarked the reference Founders Edition of the GTX 1080 and also overclocked it, and found it is generally more than 30% faster than the TITAN X and the GTX 980 Ti. Since all three cards retail for over $600, they make for a natural comparison, and we will use 3 resolutions up to 4K to determine the overall value/performance winner. We compare the FTW’s performance – at EVGA’s factory overclock and further overclocked by us – with the Founders Edition and also with the Fury X. We have put it through its paces with what is probably the largest PC game benchmark suite in the English language, 26 games. BTR has recently received an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW which is factory overclocked by EVGA right out of the box. EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Hydro Copperġ1.8" (299.7mm) × 5.61" (142.Five weeks ago, Nvidia released its Pascal flagship, the GTX 1080 reference Founders Edition video card which decisively took the performance crown from Nvidia’s TITAN X and from the GTX 980 Ti as well as easily beating AMD’s flagship, the Fury X. It is noteworthy that the waterblock can be purchased from EVGA separately for $219.99. To ensure that the card does not bend after a long usage, the graphics card is equipped with a custom backplate designed for EVGA’s GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N (KPE). The waterblock is equipped with a hub featuring six connectors for easier installation of tubes as well as a glowing EVGA logotype on the front. The EVGA Hydro Copper waterblock designed specifically for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N video card covers the GPU, memory and VRM, it is made of nickel-plated copper with an acrylic cover and aluminum on top. Since EVGA guarantees that NVIDIA’s GP102 GPUs on all GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Hydro Copper graphics cards can be overclocked to at least 2025 MHz in boost mode (up from 1695 MHz out of-the-box), the 'overclocked' BIOS setting is going to be default for most owners of the new card. The board was designed for overclockers and overclocking: it features a 14 phase digital VRM, 11 thermal sensors in total in critical locations on the PCB (5 on the VRMs, 4 for the vRAM, and two on/near the GPU itself), an EVbot connector for easier volt modding as well as three BIOSes (normal, overclocked, and LN2) that can be activated when needed. The liquid-cooled EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N Hydro Copper graphics card uses the same PCB as the air-cooled original one. EVGA continues to guarantee that the card’s GPU can be overclocked to over 2 GHz, meaning that what was already one of the world’s fastest video cards now has a factory-installed liquid cooling option. Courtesy of EVGA's customized selection of video outputs, the card now takes only one slot and therefore can fit into tightly packed systems featuring custom liquid cooling systems. EVGA has released a version of its custom-built GeForce GTX 1080 Ti K|NGP|N video card with a pre-installed bespoke water block.
