What Buyers Say
ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 ProArt 16GB GDDR7
The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5080 is widely praised for its raw performance, especially in 4K gaming, with many users noting it handles demanding titles effortlessly. Overclocking potential is impressive, with one user achieving a 3.3 GHz boost while staying cool at 67-68°C. However, the high price is a recurring concern, and one unit arrived dead on arrival, requiring a replacement. Overall, it's recommended for those with the budget, particularly for upgrades from older generations like the RTX 3090 or earlier.
Pros
- Excellent 4K gaming performance
- Impressive overclocking potential
- Runs cool under load (67-68°C)
- Great value compared to higher-end models
- Solid build quality
Cons
- High price point
- One unit arrived dead on arrival
- Large size requires spacious case
- Not cost-effective for 1080p gaming
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GDDR5X
This EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Hybrid/SC2/FTW3 is praised for incredible gaming and rendering performance, running most games maxed out at 1440p and 4K. Users note it runs cool (often below 50-65°C under load) but point out the stock fan is always on and can be noisy; many recommend swapping to a PWM fan or using fan control software. The card is very large and heavy, potentially overlapping SATA ports and requiring careful case selection. Some users experienced minor issues like coil whine, received the wrong model, or found overclocking gains minimal, but overall sentiment is very positive due to the raw power and EVGA build quality.
Pros
- Incredible 1440p/4K performance
- Runs cool under load (sub 50-65°C)
- Solid EVGA build quality
- RGB lighting customization
- Plenty of connection options
Cons
- Stock fan always runs and is noisy
- Very large and heavy, may overlap SATA ports
- Coil whine reported by some users
- Minimal overclocking gains out of the box
- Wrong model shipped occasionally
