RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra VS Rog Strix OC

How is the coil whine on them?

How good are their cooling performance?

Are they performing same?

Thanks.

 

[Triatle]

How are their clock holding?

Think you will be lucky finding someone who actually owns one.

Asus ROG Strix RTX 3080 OC coil whine 7:45 its quite loud. He was overclocking the card.

But he says in the menus, what about in game which is much lower fps?

He only talked above the coil whine in the overclocking part of the video. He does not talk about the coil whine when running benchmarks at stock. The menu's he refers too are the overclocking software. This is when he sets the core to +75. This is very good because another review states that they could only increase to +15 for the core. [1] Website reviews don't appear to have any reference to coil whine that I can find atm. Also in the video review, was he using the OC BIOS?

My 2060 has coil whine only when overclocked (so I run it a stock) and this could be the case here. I can't add any more information atm. I too am waiting for an Asus ROG Strix RTX 3080 OC.

[1] ASUS already has the clocks on the ROG Strix RTX 3080 OC Edition as high as they'll go, with my sample handling another 15MHz on top of the already highest boost GPU clocks.https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/9...e-rtx-3080-oc-edition/index.html#Overclocking

What about FTW3 Ultra does anybody use it?

 

[OC2000]

I've sorted coil whine out before by switching to a better PSU.

I have not found any information on coil whine for that card yet. All I have found is reddit and forum posts.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TEAMEVGA/comments/j9rf01/evga_rtx_3080_ftw3_ultra_hows_the_coil_whine_on/

My FTW3 Ultra has some bad coil whine. Spent the weekend trying a bunch of things, but in short, it's definitely the GPU... we'll see how this RMA process goes.

My 3080 FTW3 Ultra has some coil whine. I'd say it's medium - I can't hear it unless I put my head next to my case. Most of my cards have had coil whine and the FTW3 Ultra is not the worst offender.

No coil whine on my card. Mine has the red lips

I just got mine a few days ago and it has the red accents. To my knowledge they haven't even started production on the ones without red.

My card so far is pretty quiet but like someone else in this thread said your mileage may vary.

So could depend on the card or PSU.

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1063108-getting-coil-whine-from-both-gpu-and-psu/

Nvidia sucks. They know what is whining on their graphics cards but they refuse to spend the extra 15 cents to fix it.
As for the PSU: You used two cheap, double forward power supplies (EVGA W1 and Corsair CX750M) with a 1080 graphics card. Yeah. You're going to get coil whine.
Why are you so opposed to buying a good PSU?
It's not bad for the PSU or graphics card, but if it bothers you, you need to suck it up and just buy a decent power supply.

I have a 3080 FTW Ultra, no coil whine on mine so far.

Currently running it +140 core +700 mem. Peak clock will hit 2145, average is more like 2040. Thats on the beta bios, 118% power limit. It still shows PWR as PerfCap reason in benchmarks sometimes!
Sits around 60-65 degrees in games, fans are on 'auto' Fractal R5 case, side on, front shut.

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

I think the real question should be why are both of these cards hundreds of pounds more expensive than the base models and FE card when even running 450w bios can only manage to average 5fps more.

Is the OP looking at these cards for performance or looks?

Thank you for answer, is that degrees better than strix oc model at same watts? I'm asking that because i want low degrees and quiet card.

I don't know, i will use my card at least 3-4 years that's why i want strix or ftw3. They have more oc potential than the others..

Are you using them clock speeds on the lastest games ? I’m finding if I play RDR2 or MSFS2020 the games both crash once the clock boosts over 2100mhz ?

I did not understand your question, how much is your card's degrees?

FTW3 Ultra sits 68 degrees on OC bios. But this benchmarks are not true comparisons. Because they have not tested in the same room and same chassis. Also they are not same tests. It says 30 minutes gpu stress test. The other one says furmark test.

Thats not how you test temperatures for a cooling system. You have standards for fan testing and heat sinks. You are looking at climate controlled rooms which are very expensive. Everything about the environment has to be controlled. No one is going to do that for a review and anyone that gives you a temperature for their card will have the same issues as the reviews. You have no choice but to accept ball park values. At least reviewers will keep the room at least 21c with an AC. Testing in the same room will not be accurate as well if its not climate controlled (pressure, temperature and humidity etc). The two cards have different heat loads. Asus cooling could be better because the Asus card has a higher power draw. Even if you get a better temperature reading on the EVGA card.

Asus card is 71c and the EVGA card is 68c. EVGA card most likely is higher in a stress test. Both cards have a 450 watts power limit that they both will never reach. The Asus card clocks far higher; Boost Clock: 1935 MHz vs EVGA card; Boost Clock: 1800 MHz. Higher Frequency will increase power draw. Total Power Draw : 320 Watts for the EVGA card and Minimum of a 750 Watt power supply. EVGA is a 2.7 slot cooler. Asus has a 2.9 slot cooler and recommended PSU 850W. Asus card clearly has more cooling and a higher power draw. Due to its higher boost clock of 1935MHz and bigger heat sink. Both cards have the same temps within margin of error.

This update will increase the power consumption while overclocking, and is recommended you have adequate cooling and power (850w+ Gold minimum) when using this.

They do, but drawing over 100w more to take you from 188fps average at 2k to 193fps average seems like a lot of cost and heat for gains slightly above margin of error.
Ftw3 or the ultra was one of the cards I was looking at. I'll go for a rig strix non OC purely for looks and only because it's only going to cost me a bit over 700 with discount... shame there's no stock anywhere.
