Thermal Grizzly all the way. Probably the Kryonaut.
Remember as it's a GPU, most seem to recommend spreading it thin over the complete HS (IE. rather than the pea in the middle etc.).

I use Prolimatech PK-3 on my CPU and GPU's, been using this paste for a few years and works great. For the GPU I personally put I very big pea in the middle and let the heatsink spread it. Even on a founders card it spreads extremely nicely.

Wow that's bad,have you tryed a custom fan curve?
Soldato
Pretty easy to replace the TIM. So certainly nothing lost trying this.
Good luck.
Though the comment regarding the fan curve is also worth looking into. Don't know about the EVGA card, but my MSI cards fan profile is pretty gentle. The fans don't even kick in till 60C ( yes.. I know that's how they intended it). But as mine is OC'd further by me, I added a custom fan profile (like many people do). Zero fan till 40C, then 50% at 60C, rising to 70;% at 70C and on to 100% at 90C. Keeps my overclocked 1080ti at low 60's during gaming.

Be very careful of the led conecters as they are fiddly to remove,will be interested in how much of a improvement you get.

I got 4-5c minimum gain using thermal grizzly on my evga 1080 if it's of any help knowing.
I have replaced the paste a number of times on my gpu's to get the best temps possible and I need it as Im using a small case with the case fans as quiet as I can get them for gaming as I dont like noisy pc's. The gpu started life at over 100c running furmark in this case and I have managed to get down into the 80s, from redoing the gpu past and changing case fans/grills.
