Coming from the Founders Edition Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 in SLI since 2016 when it first came out, having bought this card and setting up saw significant improvements in performance! Gone are the mild stuttering issues I've had in some games with my Valve Index VR headset when played with the GTX 1080, so this card is great for VR gaming.
RGB lighting adds to the aethetics of your PC setup as well that's controlled by its own software that's available on a provided disc or online. It also looks great and syncs well with my AORUS Z390 Pro WiFi motherboard, so the software is able to control the lighting on both components.
Running under full load with Shadow of the Tomb Raider in all max settings averaging 68 fps in my Acer ultrawide 1440p monitor, the GPU temps peaked at 65°C with the fans manually set at 75%. Other games I've tried had similar results so this card stays cool granted you have a PC case that provides good airflow. Only minor issue I've had about this RTX 2080ti is that the fans can be a little loud, not obnoxious though, at that percentage. But the fans does a decent job keeping the card cool, so I wasn't too sure how other people were experiencing higher temperatures reaching unsafe levels (85°C) unless their PC case is inadequate for decent airflow.
All in all, I'm very impressed with this GPU and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end GPU with nice aesthetics.
