But one is $170 pricier (and "limit 2 per household"). There must be something better about it, but I don't see it. #1 19 Replies Related Threads

The difference is in the components that are used on the pcb itself. When evga creates another part # for the same gpu that has identical specs it means the components on the pcb have changed. 2280 is the older card with 2380 being the newer one.

I guess there are others in the mix now that I didn't know about, hense the confusion. *Interested in a KINGPIN /HYBRID/FTW3/3090 Ti/3080/3070/3060/3050 ?* Use this Associate Code at your checkouts or follow these instructions for Up to 10% OFF** on all your EVGA purchases: LMD3DNZM9LGK8GJ** #14

Either that card or a 2080S FTW3 for major cost savings. post edited by kevinc313 - 2020/02/19 17:18:50 #19
