Best RTX 2080 Ti Video Cards for Overclocking - 2018 PCB Round-Up

Buildzoid talks about the best RTX 2080 Ti PCBs for overclocking and, ultimately, those which are just sort of boring.

The top-performing gaming GPU for the year remains the NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti, now available with graphics cards from all major board partners. We look at the best RTX 2080 Ti cards, including the Founders Edition (and differences between the Founders Edition and others), EVGA's FTW3, ASUS' Strix, and more.

Cards discussed in this video include those found below:

that on screen time thing is super useful!

I want a 2080ti... But I also want to keep all my internal organs...

[bytesizedreviewz]

I've had a Strix 980Ti and currently have a Strix 1080Ti. I've never had a problem with these by far the best cards I've owned.

[LarzR]

I love these GN & Buildzoid collabs. Well done!

[DaveKaiserIII]

Hey GN, thanks for going through the cards in detail and helping me understand what is the best value, and how stuff works. Keep up the good work. Also, appreciate the links on where to buy. 👍

Everyone needs to wear those shirts to CES.

2:09 Excuse me did you say... KINKpin Edition ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º)

This guy has made some of the most useful videos for high end components that I've seen in the last few months. Props dude!

Great to see a summary of these being compared, as direct comparisons between 2080ti cards are still very rare, yet what people need when deciding what to buy. I'm still hoping to see some head to head testing, not just of the PCBs but of the varying BIOS power limits, to find out if/when they actually make a difference. But I also gave up trying to get a custom PCB as I mainly wanted the FTW3 (for water, EVGA make a block for it... well, they *advertise* a block for it) as there is just no stock ever and I still don't know if any of the additions make any real difference.

i just wanted a blender 4.0 card and the MSI trio is a godsend. It arrived the same day and my life changed forever. god bless this old beast

[AS-bmxv]

Need an updated comparison now that a lot more data and options are available! I know 3000 series is around the corner but come on, for the nerds!

[agenericaccount]

I genuinely enjoy that the ad was for the shirt which exemplifies the problems with the 2080's, now, on to which one is the best to overclock.

[briantaylor]

How's the life expectancy of the RTX cards now? I stopped following when I saw them dying all the time.

[Erik-hohi]

Thank you for doing this! I could not find anything like this while looking for my 2080 ti. I ended up going with EVGA FTW3 because I love the huge heat sync that it has, the OC switch is nice, and EVGA warranties and customer service are on point. Overclocked and under load it maxes at 60c with the stock air cooling.

[tknw]

This looks like another argument for RTX cards being rushed. It looks like board partners did not receive what they need to customize those cards and they just hit the market with basic stuff...

[MastahFR]

The 3 first asus you told about are founder edition PCB. I've personally the Asus 2080TI dual OC, with a waterblock from EK. Definitely standard founder edition PCB.

[mr.ihabissa]

I went with the Gigabyte Arous Xtreme

1770mhz Core
14140mhz Memory

[mattjennings]

Thanks for the info! Was having a hard time deciding between MSI and Founders edition but after hearing this info I ordered the Founders edition as I am going to be water cooling my rig. Thanks and keep up the great videos!

[hermanrwebster]

Love my EVGA XC ULTRA 2080 TI. OC's to 2130, but stabilizes at 2100. 16gb/sec memory clock. The temps feel a tad high at 77C on the high end, but the Arctic Accelero Extreme IV cooler on my 1080ti spoiled me though.

Im saving money for AMD's rumored $250 RTX 2070 Equivalents. I'm not touching the price gougers over at NVidia right now
