NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition

I built a pc with this card specially for virtual reality. It performs great, I’m 100% satisfied. Although...This was my first, from the ground up, pc build. If I had to do it over I would consider changing only two things that I learned after the fact. The mother board and gpu. If you’re looking to buy this gpu, it’s worth your time to check out( EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming, 11GB GDDR6, iCX2 & RGB LED Graphics Card 11G-P4-2487-KR https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KVKRLG2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.H7PCbQ2Z71GV )About the same cost, but through my research I’ve found it out performs the founders edition a little bit. But I think we’re comparing Lamborghinis and Ferraris here, both are super cars. All my parts except for the case, I ordered off Amazon so it was easy and fast.Again, I’m super happy, I have built a rocket ship of a pc that has no problem running vr with the Samsung hmd odyssey. but I wish I’d of found the other info before I ordered. Mother board and gpu.I should of went with a gen 9 msi gaming board instead of a gen 8 for the cpu. I ran into a bit of trouble ( my own fault for not reading the fine print). But with a quick update to the bios it fixed the problem and I was up and running.unfortunately I had to buy the cheapest 8th gen cpu I could find (8th gen i3) to do the update in order to use my 9 gen i7. Not a mistake I will be making again anytime soon, it cost me an extra hundred dollars for 10 minutes of use of a CPU lol.

A lot of hate comes with the new RTX series graphic cards because of the price it carries. I’m not a wiz at knowing the ins and outs of pc hardware but I do know well enough performance per cost.The RTX 2080ti performs wonderfully for any game I play on ultra/maxed out settings without any drops in frame rate or stutters. Yes this includes Minecraft (sarcastic), for the price it is powerful indeed.People seem to bash it when they aren’t able to afford it which isn’t bad at all but if you are able to afford it, it’s worth every penny.It doesn’t output much heat at all, I have a nzxt x72 cooler installed with this so maybe it helps more then an x62? Regardless, most of the complaints I read from other reviews baffles me and performs much better then my old 1080ti.

With only a minimal loss of performance compared to the ROG Strix OC and Gaming X Trio, the nVidia Founder's Edition is worthy of consideration.Pluses: smaller form factor, tends to run cooler, super solid build, no useless led bling.Minuses: louder than the Asus and MSI cards by a fair margin, priced a little higher, only two cooling fans.If space in the case is a concern, the FE only takes up two slot widths, whereas the competing top end cards take three (two and a half really, but you can't use half a slot, normally). It's also not as long, only 10" compared to the 12" of the others, or as tall, only 4.5" compared to the 5.5" of the others.

Spent over 24 hours trying to get this thing to work properly. Through my research a lot of these have faults in the board that makes the card crash along with whatever game or freeze your screen and force a hard reboot. There are also better GPUs out there for cheaper.
