Asus ROG Strix 2080ti here. Incredible card and looks great.

Wait for the super cards to arrive...(If they do)

I've got the palit because it was well priced and I've had palit before with my 1080ti

zotac are the king!

Contemplating a 2080ti myself and, partly due to case limitation (304mm or 309mm with fan guard removed - FT02 ), have a shortlist of EVGA FTW3 or FTW3 Ultra gaming, Strix, Zotac AMP (will have to remove fan guard) and Aorus Xtreme.

My main question is related to EVGA cards. Seems only difference is binning of GPU that would only gain a few fps but cost a fair bit more over the other cards...

I want a decent warranty given cost of this card so would look to extend this with EVGAs and puts me off ASUS, especially with their RMA reputation.

The AMP Extreme is too long and the AMP seems hard to come by atm...

Think I'm most likely going to go for FTW3 Gaming but interested to get as much advice as I can!

Dunno I got a lemon of a FTW3, high temps and now trying afterburner instead of precision X, struggling to hit over 2000 clock speeds (not sustained). Well built card though and upgraded to a 5 yr warranty at least.

That's a shame when spending so much money. How long have you had it, what sort of case airflow have you got?

I saw the Ultra Gaming went as 'low' as £1200 a couple of months ago elsewhere so may play a waiting game.

I just bought an MSI 2080 Ti Gaming X trio for just over £1060 its a cracking card.

I think people shouldn't seek shopping advice from the 2080ti demographic (no offense). Clearly these people aren't fiscally constrained and tend to a maximum when it comes to building gaming rigs.

Looks nice! I saw the card and decent comments/reviews but unfortunately too long to fit in my case.

Palit card for me everytime. I had the Palit triple fan 1080ti and bought the exact same 2080ti. The things so quiet you never hear it and the fans barely spin!

I enjoyed my Palit 1080 until it broke! I would still consider another Palit but not with just a 2yr warranty...

I get it dude. TBH I was that impressed with the performance and lack of noise it was never considered when I went for the 2080ti. Absolutely understand why it would be a sticking point though.

Just got the Palit dual and it is anything but quiet!

Think I might go for the Zotac AMP. Can get one for delivery tomorrow at a relatively decent price...
