Hello!
RE: 2080 SUPER FTW3(non ultra) vs. RTX 2080 SUPER XC GAMING
I haven't built or gamed on a PC in 10+ years but here lately it's been really intriguing me. Right now THE EVGA store has the 2 cards i've listed above in stock. I'd tried to find some reviews comparing both but haven't had much luck. Most reviews I find are for the ULTRA version of the FTW3.
Would anyone be willing to maybe just give me some Pros & Cons between these 2 cards? The differences I mainly see are the boost clock 1815 vs 1830 and the Texture Fill Rate difference.
There's just a $40 difference..
Thanks for all your advice and help in advance!!!

Get the ftw3 for better cooling and a higher power limit.

Thank you for your input! I was leaning towards that one! Off the top of your head, do any of the 2070's come close or hold a candle to the 2080 ftw3?

Your question is misleading. Your title is about the 2080 Super, but your question is about the 2080 (you didn't mention "Super"). If comparing 2070 Super to a 2080 (not Super), yes the performance is close. Something like 3 to 10% difference. So, yes, there is a model of the 2070 which holds a candle to a 2080 model. The 2070 Super is the clear winner against the 2080 for price-to-performance. 2070 Super vs 2080 Super on the other hand, no, they are pretty distant in performance. Something like 15 to 20% difference. Personally I would not buy the FTW3 model. Never have. Never plan to. The question is not answerable because it is simply a matter of preference. Personally, I would buy the 2080 Super Gaming and not the 2080 Super FTW3, because I don't see the value in the $40 price difference. I guess the price difference isn't much, but still I wouldn't buy the FTW3 model. I volt mod and power mod my stuff anyway, so they have the same potential to me at a different price. I buy the cheapest every time. Just throwing it out there as a matter of perspective. In actuality, the FTW3 and the non-FTW3 model will perform very close to the same. You decide if the $40 difference is worth it to you.

I didn't mean for it to be misleading.. In my original post I was specific with both of the "2080's" being super, then my follow up question to the mod I said "any" of the 2070 which would include the super's as well in my mind. I think Sajin understood and answered so all good!

The question is not answerable because it is simply a matter of preference.

So Sajin's answer is not a valid answer? If the question is not answerable and he answered, what does that make his answer?

Did I say that? No. When it is a matter of preference, all answers are valid answers. I will say that, in my opinion, Sajin's one-sentence answer is way too short to be an answer I would accept (if I was the one asking the question).

I disagree. Your "answer" is: 'this is my preference and therefore it should also be your preference'. A real answer would be more like: "The difference in performance is expected to be somewhere between 1 and 4%. You decide whether that is worth $40 to you."

Well when we are talking about items that are 700+ $'s, I think if $40 is going to be the deciding factor, you probably shouldn't spend 700$ to begin with. So if Item A for 40$ more has anything more beneficial than item B, IN MY OPINION item A is the winner.

No, what you said is a matter of opinion. What I said is a matter of fact. Opinion: "I buy X and so should you." Fact: "The difference in performance is expected to be somewhere between 1 and 4%. You decide whether that is worth $40 to you."

Actually what I said were facts as well. The ftw3 does cool better than the other card the op mentioned in the thread. The ftw3 also has a higher power limit too. Both of those are facts. The op also asked if any of the 2070's come close to the 2080 super ftw3, and I said no which is another fact.
