I'm usually well in excess of 144 fps ultra, everything at max except for max SSAA. 16x Anisotropy, TAA, Ultra settings and 4 x SSAA can be too much workload. At that point you're better off just running DLSS to reduce jagged edges.

You can undervolt it and lower the power draw by 20% without losing any performance. I got my 4070ti down from 280w to 190w and only lost 5% performance, which I gained most of it back by ramping up my memory clock speed.

@scruffles87 I find there is a rough patch on long runs before the projectile speed is high enough for it to stop rendering most of the particle effects. I often see dips, sometimes down to 50ish fps between islands 60 to 90 on a good run. Then there is the freeze frames when you autoloot 100s of chests with 100s of items per chest XD

Brought this card for my Lenovo P520 Workstation and works brilliant. Only have a 60Hz TV so playing in 4K is rarely an issue on very high settings. Great review

[@Hateroz]

I picked up an RTX 3090 Ti FE back in August of 2023 when, in France, the RTX 4070 Ti was selling for about the same 800€. At the time I felt like the 24GB of VRAM buffer would last a lot longer than the 10-12GB of the 3080/Ti and 4070/Ti, and it seems as though I was right. My card is currently watercooled and undervolted: runs at ~320W under load (managed to shave off ~100-120W of power) and I have even overclocked it with the undervolt (2070Mhz @940mV when it was running at 2025Mhz @1.070V at stock). As the RTX 3080 Ti is not very far from the 3090/Ti in terms of performance, I think it fair to say that, after watching the video, these cards still have a lot more service years left than NVIDIA would like to admit. I feel like the RTX 3000 series will be the second best architecture and will likely age the same as Pascal. We'll see!

Iceberg Tech : I've had the "pleasure" of deep dive testing a Manli RTX 3080 Ti 12GB and a Palit RTX 3080 Ti 12GB recently....the first versions continuous PWR consumption in modern games was 400 Watts with peaks up to 441 Watts....which proved just simply too much for my trusty Corsair RM850X via only 2 separate PCI-EX 8-pin cables that it needs. My RM850X can deliver at maximum continuous of 354 Watts (2 x 8-pin + 70 Watts from PCI-EX x16). It can deliver 12 Amps per 8-pin cable (=142 Watts)....whereas the 3080 Ti needs 17 Amps per 8-pin connector (=198 Watts). Whereas the Palit version was somewhat more conservative with the PWR consumption and I was able to run it for a few days to do all of the deep dive tests....and compared to my AMD RX 6900 XT 16GB the 3080 Ti is noticeably slower and eats around 100 Watts more of continuous PWR. All of my tests were done on my Ryzen 7 5800X3D which is the 2.nd fastest gaming CPU on the market currently. I was disappointed in the RTX 3080 Ti 12GB because in reality it's a direct competitor to the RX 6800 XT 16GB at best....while eating around 140 Watts more PWR. The 3080 Ti performs too weak for the PWR it needs to stay awake.

[@jamsgames8742]

i have a suprim 3070ti and on full load it pulls around 300watts. i undervolted it and now it pulls about 220 ish with higher clocks. So if u have a 3080ti or you want to buy it you dont have to worry because you can undervolt the 3080ti to run atleast 100watts lower at the same speeds. say you drop the clocks by around 100mhz aswell i think wll be looking at 260-270ish. which is not bad.

It looked sharp (not 4k like but definitely like good 1440p on a 4k panel) and felt smooth and consistent with path tracing, It needed some settings optimization and all the latest patches but it wored very well. Honestly I didn't expect to ever play path tracing like that on this card but lo and behold it' runs and it runs well !

The 40 series was only Nvidia recalibrating their strategy and so far they’ve had zero problems selling products which means the 50 series is only going to double down on what we’ve already seen. During an earnings call, whether it is an artificial intelligence enthusiast, a scalper or a typical consumer. It doesn’t matter who purchases the product when making decisions for the forward trajectory of the company during a PowerPoint presentation.

[@weserio]

im still on my evga 208-0ti ftw3 with a ek waterblock, got it a month before the 30 series launch from a panicked seller at 500, still holding out for 4070ti super perf at 400 used

[@kelvinjinxd]

Yea, the founder edition only has 2x8pin pcie power, maxing out around 350w. AIB models with 3x8pin can go much higher.

[@unionofslavstanrepublics2317]

Hell yeah my GPU! Never mind, I have the laptop not the desktop card. :)

[@thaNZdon]

honestly the real MVP here is the 7500F - such a goated CPU for the $

[@thats_alot_of_bees3993]

Got my evga ftw3 second hand from a microcenter didn’t even come with a box just a bag and the gpu. It’s performs fantastically well and I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it now that evga closed its gpu department doors.

[@J.Wick.]

I went from 2080 to 4070ti. About the same power draw, big uplift in performance. And the cooler in the 4070ti is so overbuilt, i didn't think over seen the thing hit 70c lol.

[@D-Day-fb3pw]

I love my Gigabyte 3080 ti. Got it used on eBay about a year ago for $425. Best money I ever spent on a card. I also use it for VR with my Quest 3 and it still slaps 💯 Edit: The 11gb 2080 ti (my previous card) is still very good in 2024 as well. If you can find one for $250 it's still a banger 👍

[@toufusoup]

This beast with its power consumption (I had the XC3 12GB non-Ti model) made my room fans circulate and blow hot air on me when I accidentally left it on one night. Absolute monster but I couldn’t keep it so I had to side-grade to a 4070. Wish EVGA still made them.. 😢

[@iNubpwn3r]

This card was on my radar for a long time, but I bought used 3090 from MSI for 600€, it has slightly better performance, 24gb Vram and believe it or not, lesser power consumption than ftw3 3080ti. I got it paired with 12900k, and I'm fine with overall performance. Nice video buddy, see you again.

[@mVran]

Heloo there :). Just wabted to tell you than on the Helldivers 2 bit was an error. In the top left corner on msi afterburner i states rx 6900xt not 3080ti. Great video tho. :)

[@mikeclarke3990]

We all need to stay warm in winter. Also speaking of I once had a EVGA GTX 780TI and that only had 3gb vram, feelsbadman.

[@AlkoholOgerLeonElektronik67]

I feel bad for people who bought for example a RTX 3090 Ti, without getting DLSS framegen from NVIDIA. Yes, the card has no optical flow accelerators, but in theory NVIDIA could use the tensor cores as a fallback, at the cost for some performance?

[@Eleganttf2]

You try and act and trying to sound smart mate but im sorry you knew absolutely nothing it seems, the 30 series and 20 series have optical flow accelerator its just that they revamped it in Ada lovelace, regarding DLSS Frame gen it has absolutely 0 correlation to Tensor cores unlike DLSS upscaling which does use those tensor cores for fp16 inferencing

[@mtaufiqnmtn]

If rtx 5000 series can make a great leap from 4000 like 2000 to 3000 series, will you all still buy if nvidia added more cost?

[@EzaneeGires]

Another collab with randomgaminginhd would be lovely

[@lovegamesandtrains3194]

It is good to see you are reviewing older higher end cards like the 3080 ti but also old monsters like 1080 ti. It is good to see a wide verity in the content also this channel is one of the main reasons why i have the 1080 ti and im happy with it

[@OneLife69-]

I have a reference 3080ti paired with a ryzen 9 5900x and 4x8gb 3600mhz ram. In Starfield I was getting up to 90fps in new Atlantis area that you tested. I am more than happy to upload a small test clip to my yt channel that you can use for a data collecting or a reference point if you do decide to look into why Starfield seemed to be capped.

[@dennisg3693]

Honestly, I might need to get that processor. Then I have an r5 5 5500 OC at 4.54 with a 3080 ti FE, and it's a good pair, but I feel like missing the 1 and .1 lows on fps. I am gonna be on a b450 msi tomahawk max 16GB 2x8GB OC 4000mhz

[@dark_taco]

So glad we have Hellblade 2 for testing now 😊🙌

[@bullymaguire243]

Still rocking this card after 2 years. I'll upgrade soon once 5000 series come out

[@blindsavage5772]

Gaming X Trio 3080ti here. runs amazing on max 1440p settings

[@dystopia-usa]

I've been happy with my AMD 7800XT 16GB GPU in my latest 2024 build. My last build from 2019 was still using its original EVGA GTX 1660Ti GPU when I retired it recently. 😆

[@RAYQUAZA_X]

I use frame gen with Lossless scaling on my 3090ti and it works very well in every game, no need dlss3 support. So i dont need a 4000 nor 5000 series gpu. Maybe 6000 will be the time to consider upgrading

[@nolimitza.j5063]

just gotta say that this channel gives me a certain kind of joy that the others cant

[@krisvaras7801]

already 3 years ago?? wow

[@Adrienne_Quelle]

o7 EVGA. Their 3070 XC3 is the GPU of my first build, and even once I make an upgrade (and it'll be a bit), I'm honestly tempted to keep it around for either a secondary build, or just. Put it on a shelf. Card's pretty.

[@АнтонПопович-ф8я]

Having swapped 1080 Ti for a watercooled 3080 Ti and using FSR 3.0 FG mod wherever possible - i can say it is the best option for today and tomorrow's 2K RT/PT Ultra gaming. Equal to 4070S in all tests and games but 20% cheaper - no upgrade needed till 5080 Ti appears and gets cheaper. 12 Gb of RAM raises no issues for now - you won't play 4K RT/PT Ultra in UE5 games with this card (or any 4070-class) anyway.

[@ogrejd]

Maybe it's the KZbin compression, but I can't see any difference between Alan Wake II with and without RT. Other than the murdered frame rate, of course.

[@RYzE_B3Y0ND]

I really wish that I could have picked up the EVGA version but it was just too expensive at the time. I ended up grabbing the Asus Tuf version since it was under a grand. I still live with regret 😢

[@lek1223]

I dont think most people say a 3080 or 3080 ti is bad ownership, what they are saying is that its a bad investment its good for when it came out, its still good for 99% of all games today, but with the vram and lack of DLSS frame gen, its a bad investment for the future.

[@gabrielpalacios4304]

I barely bought my 3080 FTW , I’m coming from a Vega 64, I bought that EVGA 3080 from a coworker for 400 bucks. I don’t regret it.

[@w9s992]

I bought mine last week

[@alexanders.4591]

If EVGA wanted to give NVIDIA an even bigger “F*ck you”, they should have become one of AMD’s board partners lmaooo 😂😂😂

[@redinthesky1]

I did have myself a chuckle when the 4070ti came out with the power of a 3090 and only 12gb of vram

[@carter7894]

I got the Rtx 3090 evga card. I got it for a steal a year ago and hoping the 24gb of vram will make it last longer than all the cheap 40 series gpus. Paid 950 cad or ~$700 USD

[@SunkaWicasa]

rtx 4080 - 5800x3d here for i while i hope so ... good vid mate

[@JAP917]

I have the FTW3 in my system with water cooling. It definitely sucks down the watts, but it's been a solid card taking everything I throw at it.
