Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros - Fast, very very fast out of box - Crushes everything I threw at it - Rivals my 3090 and even beats it in a benchmark or two - Looks really sexy, the RGB lightning is awesome Cons - Pulls a lot of power, need a great PSU to handle it, at least 850w - Runs warm - Loud fan profile So I own a 3070 FTW3 and a 3090 XC3 Ultra and let me tell you that this 3080 Ti FTW3 is straight up insane! Out of box clock speeds are great and it looks very pretty in my case. This GPU pulls 400w from the wall with stock settings so it gets warm. During benchmarks I was seeing 84C temps in a very open case with really good airflow. Due to the temps, the fan profile would have to run at %75 speeds to keep it at bay and yes you can hear the fans. Any other review telling you it is quiet is just lying to you. The 3070 FTW3 I own is virtually the same cooler and fans and I don't see temps higher than 63C during benchmarks....granted it pulls 265ish watts compared to 400w. Buy this GPU if you want pretty card with RGB and want one of the fastest versions of the 3080 Ti series, but be aware you need a great cooling case and just be ok with hearing fans during heavy loads. This video card would be perfect paired with a watercooler and or an enthusiast who doesn't mind opening the card up and replacing the pads and thermal paste because the stock stuff seems a little weak. Otherwise, great video card and I would recommend but only at the retail price, don't pay higher scalper prices. EDIT: After two days of use the video card started to artifact and caused my screen to turn on and off repeatedly. This was at stock settings. Most likely a memory issue on this GPU. I expect better QC from EVGA.
