EVGA GTX 1080 Roundup

Let's have a look at EVGA's GTX 1080 Superclock and FTW versions, both of which offer higher clock speeds and lower prices than the Founders Edition.

Right now two custom versions of Nvidia's GTX 1080 are available for pre-order right now from EVGA, both of which feature EVGA's new ACX 3.0 cooling system and are built with low power fan motors to decrease GPU power consumption.

Below is a table that compares the specifications of these GPUs, showing that EVGA's custom overclocked GPUs feature higher specifications and a lower price than Nvidia's Reference/ Founders Edition design, making EVGA's GPUs seem like much better value for money.

Nvidia GTX 1080 Founders Edition EVGA GTX 1080 SC EVGA GTX 1080 FTW GPU Cores 2560 2560 2560 Base clock 1607MHz 1708MHz 1733MHz Boost clock 1733MHz 1847MHz 1873MHz Memory Type GDDR5X GDDR5X GDDR5X Memory Speed 10,000MHz 10,010MHz 10,010MHz Power Input 8-Pin 8-Pin 2x 8-Pin LED Colour Green White RGB Power Phase Design 5+1 Phase 5+1 phase 10+1 phase Price (UK) £619.99 £578.99 £608.99

While the designs of the GTX 1080 FTW and SC has very similar specifications the FTW version offers the best all round package, offering beefier power circuitry, higher clock speeds and RGB Illumination for the EVGA GTX 1080 cooler on the side and beside the fans.

The GTX 1080 FTW also features a larger custom PCB and a larger cooler, which should give this GPU cooler operating temperatures and potentially higher overclocks.

Right now you can Pre-order the ASUS GTX 1080 SC and FTW are available for Preorder at prices of £578.99 and £619.99 respectively at Overclockers UK, which a lower price than the cheapest Nvidia Founder's Edition GTX 1080.

Right now Scan has these same GPUs at prices of £630.42 and £641.39 in order to deceive consumers into thinking that the GTX 1080 Founder's Edition GPUs, that they currently have in stock, offers better value for money. This is an industry practice that is used by many retailers to convince buyers to buy what they have in stock over pre-ordering future upcoming products.

Overclockers UK has a much more reasonable price on the GTX 1080 SC and FTW and is currently offering the cheapest price in the UK to Pre-order these aftermarket versions of the GTX 1080 GPU.

You can join the discussion on EVGA's GTX 1080 SC and FTW GPUs on the OC3D Forums.
