Here’s a high-level look at what’s inside the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra:

The special sauce for custom cards lies in their specialized cooling design and extra features. Check out our GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition review for a deeper look at what’s new in Ampere. EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra specs, features, and designīased on raw under-the-hood specs, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra is largely similar to the Nvidia Founders Edition and essentially identical to the MSI Gaming X Trio, because they’re all based on the same “GA102” RTX 3080 chip using the new “Ampere” GPU architecture. The $810 GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra also relies on heavy metal to run just as cool and even quieter than MSI’s card, but then it loads up on extravagant, overclocking-friendly extras like a dual-BIOS switch, sensors embedded throughout the board to provide temperature insight for all sorts of board components, built-in fan and RGB headers, and more.

The MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio went with a beefy three-slot cooler to run much cooler and quieter than Nvidia’s FE, for $60 more.
