EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Gaming 11GB GDDR5X graphics card

FTW3 Gaming 11GB GDDR5X graphics card

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Gaming targets enthusiasts who want high frame rates at 1440p or entry-level 4K. It uses the NVIDIA Pascal architecture with 3584 CUDA cores and 11GB of GDDR5X memory across a 352-bit interface. The card connects through a PCI Express 3.0 slot and supports DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6 for modern titles.

iCX asynchronous fan control and thermal sensors

EVGA iCX Technology adds nine additional thermal sensors to monitor GPU, memory and VRM temperatures independently. Asynchronous fan control adjusts each fan speed based on the specific zone that needs cooling. A vented heatsink fin design with pin fins improves airflow through the shroud. Thermal status indicator LEDs show GPU, memory and PWM zone temperatures at a glance.

Upgrade from GTX 1080 or older Pascal cards

Moving from a GTX 1080 or earlier Pascal GPU adds 3GB more VRAM and a wider memory bus for higher texture detail. The FTW3 runs at a 1596MHz base clock and 1683MHz boost clock with 1016MHz effective memory speed. The jump is worth it when your current card limits 1440p ultra settings or lacks the VRAM for modern asset packs.
