NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition

This is the 2nd one of this model that I have purchased. I bought one of these when they 1st came out years ago. It is still working flawlessly. I decided to build a new pc with updated cpu, memory and motherboard. I checked the specs of newer gpus and decided that the new specs are not that much better than this older gpu. Why spend the money for a minimum gain? I run three full 4k monitors without any problems using the 2080ti FE. If it ain't broke then don't fix it.

This graphics card is insane, in modern warfare you can raise the graphics up, abs or shoes you how much v ram you have left and i put all the setting in high and i didn't even reach half way, forza settings are in ultra. War thunder has a nice called movie and it is recommended not to game in, and it did over 150 fps. I don't recall the other fps but they definitely above 60

With only a minimal loss of performance compared to the ROG Strix OC and Gaming X Trio, the nVidia Founder's Edition is worthy of consideration.Pluses: smaller form factor, tends to run cooler, super solid build, no useless led bling.Minuses: louder than the Asus and MSI cards by a fair margin, priced a little higher, only two cooling fans.If space in the case is a concern, the FE only takes up two slot widths, whereas the competing top end cards take three (two and a half really, but you can't use half a slot, normally). It's also not as long, only 10" compared to the 12" of the others, or as tall, only 4.5" compared to the 5.5" of the others.

The was not a new product, as it was advertised. This product had been loosely shrink wrapped to give it a new appearance, but not in the manner done by the manufacturer. All four stickers that hold the box closed had been removed and reapplied at a slightly different angle. But the key was there was visible damage to the card itself, appearing that someone had dropped the card while handling it. The type of damage could not have happened in shipping, or the box would have been destroyed. I didn't bother sticking it in my PC to see if it worked. Returned

Card came in good condition considering it has been used before. Had to change the fan speed settings for the card once I booted up into Windows using MSI Afterburner. Other than being a bit noisy under medium load, card performs as expected.

I built a pc with this card specially for virtual reality. It performs great, I’m 100% satisfied. Although...This was my first, from the ground up, pc build. If I had to do it over I would consider changing only two things that I learned after the fact. The mother board and gpu. If you’re looking to buy this gpu, it’s worth your time to check out( EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming, 11GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED Graphics Card 11G-P4-2487-KR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KVKRLG2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.H7PCbQ2Z71GV )About the same cost, but through my research I’ve found it out performs the founders edition a little bit. But I think we’re comparing Lamborghinis and Ferraris here, both are super cars. All my parts except for the case, I ordered off Amazon so it was easy and fast.Again, I’m super happy, I have built a rocket ship of a pc that has no problem running vr with the Samsung hmd odyssey. but I wish I’d of found the other info before I ordered. Mother board and gpu.I should of went with a gen 9 msi gaming board instead of a gen 8 for the cpu. I ran into a bit of trouble ( my own fault for not reading the fine print). But with a quick update to the bios it fixed the problem and I was up and running.unfortunately I had to buy the cheapest 8th gen cpu I could find (8th gen i3) to do the update in order to use my 9 gen i7. Not a mistake I will be making again anytime soon, it cost me an extra hundred dollars for 10 minutes of use of a CPU lol.

I bought this card after much consideration between the FE and the EVGA FTW3, and at first I was thinking I should have maybe went with the EVGA one for aesthetic reasons, but I'm really glad I bought this FE and I'm even more glad I bought from this seller. I have never overclocked my card (yet, had it since march) and this has been my results. I don't know THAT much about PC's since this is my first actual build, and an upgrade from an Alienware 17r4, but it does seem I've hit the jackpot a little with this card. THANK YOU, SELLER!NOTE: pertaining to artifacting, I have never seen what artifacting actually is, but I will include that I have been having weird flashing occuring during Apex Legends only. I was under the impression I had "hit the silicon lottery" with a card that was indeed artifacting, but I do not have ANY issues with any other game, even BF5 or Metro: Exodus even with RTX on and the highest settings, the card performs beautifully. So, I am at this point convinced it is an issue with my settings in Apex and my low refresh HUGE monitor that isn't ideal for gaming. So I'll say, so far, SO GOOD.
