Pros: This card will handle anything you throw at it, it's just a solid performer all around.

Cons: When I first got the card, for the first 2 weeks it was reaching 85 degrees under load. Experienced throttling in some games as I saw the temps actually creep up to 89 degrees. This just wasn't right so I removed the cooler and there was so much thermal compound on the GPU it was insulating the thing. Hence the 4 egg rating. I cleaned it off and applied some Noctua compound I had laying around. Now the hottest I have seen it get is 71 degrees. No joke. If yours is running hot, take off the cooler, clean it and apply some new TC.

Overall Review: EVGA, seriously? Your top of the line flagship GPU and you compromise it by the worst application of thermal compound i have ever seen in my life. For the price we pay there should be oompa loompas applying thermal compound to each card individually then giving it a hug before sending it on it's way.

Pros: -Slim Design (2 PCI Slot Design) -Nice Rugged Design with Backplate -DVi-HDMI-DP Support -Great 1440p-4k performance

Cons: -A Bit pricey

Overall Review: Worth the investment @ 1440p/4k gaming

Pros: -Runs anything on max settings. -Great way to compensate for my.. shortcomings. -Confident that it will handle whatever comes out for years to come, albeit *maybe* not on highest resolution.

Cons: -Might require taking out a second mortgage to purchase.

Overall Review: With cards this powerful, I think SLI/Crossfire is a thing of the past unless you have more money than sense. Perhaps I shouldn't have ran up my credit card for this, but it feels really great to own with an X470 board, Ryzen 7 2700x CPU, and 32GB of 3200 RAM! My rig now ranks in the top 4 percentile of all benchmarks on PC Mark 10, and is nearly twice as fast as the average 4k gaming desktop.

Pros: I could tell just opening the box that EVGA was the company to go with. They allow you to remove the cooling unit and add your own secondary cooling (water-cooling) without voiding your warranty. Thats awesome! Easy registry of product and great OC software. It says in big bold letters to make sure you call them if you have any trouble with your product and that they want you to return it to them if there is a problem. You can tell EVGA cares about there customers, this is the first time purchasing from them and I won't be switching to other companies anytime soon.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I originally went with an MSI DUKE and it arrived DOA and the box had very minimal manuals and technical support items in it, plus you would void the warranty by removing the front cooling unit. Plus it was a non-returnable item on Newegg. Better to go with EVGA they are reasonably priced and you can tell they care.

Pros: I had decided to purchase a gtx 1080 ti and after some research decided that the one I would purchase would be the EVGA SC Black Edition. The plan was to somewhat future proof with this video card and then upgrade some components around it when the time is right. A sale price combined with a good free game sealed the deal. I wasn’t worried about having elaborate rgb lights and paying extra for that feature, but was quite happy with the White Led that runs down the side of the card. I was looking for a card that would run cool, run quiet, and perform well; this one does all these things. The card is super clocked and as such starts its day at 1556/1670 MHz. In benchmarks and games it boosts up past 1900 MHz without any overclocking on my part. The case I’m using is a Cooler Master Pro 6 which has good airflow and space helping to keep its temps down. I keep track of temps with CPUID HW monitor and with EVGA’s own XOC Precision software. At idle the card sits around 26-28 Celsius and can move into the 60s when taxed with benchmarking and heavy gaming. I believe these are good temperatures under these conditions. The EVGA Black is slim and only fills two slots, thus leaving ample room for my Cooler Master Masterair Maker 8 on my motherboard. This CPU cooler takes up a lot of room and features red leds but also has White LED spelling out the name “Cooler Master” in the middle, the white Led on the side of the evga card compliments this.

Cons: I have had some sound (coil whine maybe?) coming from the card when I’m at the loading screen of Shadows of Mordor, but this sound was not a problem as soon as I start playing the game. I use a surround sound setup for my gaming instead of headphones. I utilized some fps software which displayed the card was doing 100 fps and above at the loading screen and realized I could use the evga xoc software to limit the frame rates to the refresh rate of my monitor. My current monitor has a 75 hz refresh. Matching the fps to this took away the slightly unpleasant sound completely. After experimenting with this frame setting feature of the XOC software I decided it wasn’t a big deal and returned it to limitless frames setting while playing the game. Update on the Coil whine Nov 2017...I decided to get a new psu, switching from my XFX 850 watt silver rated (built in 2011 I think) to a 2017 Corsair HX Platinum power supply; as a result of this the coil whine that I was having with some games is completely gone. I thought this news might be helpful to some one with an older psu that is having trouble with coil whine from their gtx 1080 ti video card.

Overall Review: I play Witcher 3, Shadow of Morder, Shadow of War, and Dragon’s Dogma along with some other games and the EVGA SC Black Edition handles them all very nicely. I would definitely recommend this video card !

Pros: -Boosts up to 1950 mHz out of the box with no changes, way beyond the advertised clock speeds! -Stays cool on stock settings, even cooler with an updated fan profile -Fan stays quiet, I currently have it maintaining 65C with 60% fan speed with a 26C ambient temp -Not too huge

Cons: -Cannot control the LED even using the XOC software

Overall Review: I went from a 1070 to this 1080 Ti. Although I was happy with the 1070, the 1080 Ti gave me that extra performance to not have to worry about whatever I throw at it.

Pros: This card is a beast: -Zero coil whine; very quiet overall -Ice cold: temps stay at 65 C under full load with stock fan settings -Monstrous performance: getting 175+ fps at 1440p with max settings in Overwatch, PUBG, etc. -Competitive price

Cons: I prefer MSI Afterburner software to EVGA Precision, but meh.

Overall Review: Note that fans do NOT activate until a certain temp. Had mild heart attack when fans were not spinning on first-time build start-up.

Pros: Extremely fast Very stable - has been running for 100+ hours fully loaded without a hitch Fan is off when the GPU drops below certain temperature level

Cons: None so far
