GIGABYTE AORUS Xtreme GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce 11GD, GV-N108TAORUSXW-11GD

Pros: Works quite well. I purchased this for deep learning applications primarily with Tensorflow. Previously I was paying for GPU time on a K80 and this outperforms that.

Cons: When not under load the GPU coolant pump makes a low frequency knocking sound. For me it's like nails on chalkboard but the sound is only slightly louder than the case fans. Under load the pump speeds up and the sounds goes away.

Overall Review: In hindsight, listening to the pump knocking, I would have bought the water block version instead and spend the extra on an external coolant loop. Not having the option of changing the pump on such an expensive card is too much of risk.

Pros: - Fine until it died

Cons: - Useless warranty - Worse customer service ever

Overall Review: It died after 9 months and gigabyte said it can not be repaired! They are the same guys that advertise 5 years warranty on this card... I'll never buy a Gigabyte product ever again!

Pros: After decades of building both air and liquid cooled systems with their compromises and advantages/disadvantages this card is truly a revelation. If you're reading this then you probably already know that the GP102-350 GPU in the GTX 1080 Ti is a silicon monster and the undisputed king of the hill by a long mile. The cherry on top with this card is that not only are its clocks are among the highest in the market but it will hold them without throttling down effortlessly hour after hour after hour of the most demanding game play. What this card adds to the mix is the simplicity and low maintenance of an air cooled card with the whisper quiet and rock solid stable performance of a liquid cooled setup. Add great build quality and a fantastic 4 year warranty and your ship has come in.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The very best and priced accordingly yet highly recommended if you have the means!

Pros: -Runs basically silent -Runs EXTREMELY cool, even under full load -Was able to get a stable overclock at 2200MHz and +600 on Memory using MSI Afterburner -Runs GTA 5 Max @4k60hz and Arma 3 Max @2k165hz Buttery Smooth -Looks absolutely stunning when LEDs sync'd with other AORUS products (Currently have AC300W and Z370 Gaming 7) -Watercooled :]

Cons: -Expensive!!! Dropped 1.1k USD on this card, and I don't even plan on mining with it. Maybe wait a little for price to drop unless you are impatient like me. -Wires basically go where they please, not where you want. (Makes you look bad at wire managment) -LED on front looks like it is made from cheap plastic. I mounted my card vertically and as beautiful as I want to believe it looks, I still do wish from time to time it looked a little more like an $1100 Card as opposed to some cheap "gamer branded" led junk.

Overall Review: if you have the money and you don't necessarily care 200% about the asthetics this card is absolutely amazing. 10/10 would buy again

Pros: I'm just saying this is a sexy card. The design is great and performs fantastic.

Cons: Not really a problem, but you could slightly hear the water running through the radiator. Once the side panels are on, you can't hear it.

Overall Review: With SLI build becoming less and less predominate, it shows why with these new 10x series cards

Pros: This card looks great, runs well, and is very quiet. No issues with whine or gurgle (unless I do stupid things with the hoses, see below). I've had it for a few months and have had no issues of note.

Cons: The way the card installs in your case may mean that your water hoses will cross in front of your LED. If you try to reposition the hoses, there is a chance you'll get a gurgle--which, frankly, isn't worth it. I'm not a man that needs an absolutely silent rig, but you really don't want odd sounds coming from the inside of your new baby. The card is probably a tad overpriced over other water-cooled systems, considering it's only very marginally better. No regrets, though.

Pros: -Great that it has a low profile and everything is cooled by the radiator

Cons: -Radiator fan can't be replaced with custom fans. -Lacking in customization as everything is hard wired (pump & rad fan)

Overall Review: I bought 3 of these and 1 of them just won't cool down any more after 3 months. It is hitting 90c temps, the pump obviously failed due to the fan still spinning at 100% but unable to bring down the temp.

Pros: Installed very easily. I really love the design of this card. I feel it is far superior to hybrid models and includes a nice back plate with additional cooling, etc. I also like the fact that the design does not exhaust hot air into your case like other hybrids with fans. Overall it's really well thought out, great components...the build quality is high and finally, the overclock and boost is set really high. If you want a better look, go to the aorus web site for a cutout of the cooler. Finally, the price is very good. Compared to the new FTW3 hybrid, this is superior in clocking.

Cons: Beware! I was unsuccessful in registering this product. It comes with a 4 year warranty, however when registering it is not listed as a qualifying product, so the registration failed. You have the option to report this and I did, but you only have 30 days to register and no way to actually contact them, it doesn't give you a support ticket number. Is this false advertising by Gigabyte?!?

Overall Review: UPDATE: Gigabyte put in the warranty for me pretty quick, so it's all good. Also, card doesn't get above 50C on Battlefield 1 and I get no less than 80FPS on a 43" 4K monitor running an older i74770. Sometimes I get much higher FPS, all on ultra. GPU usually runs at 1972 on Battlefield, probably higher if I paid attention to Precision X. This is a really good card....High clock rates, great cooling, probably the best AIO for this card.
