[SOLVED] EVGA 2080 vs Gigabyte 2080

[waynelugames]

Which of these two companies makes a more realizable and better RTX 2080? I currently have the EVGA rtx 2080 ftw, however on new egg there is a Gigabyte rtx 2080 for only around $700 while my EVGA one was $900.

Which RTX card is quieter and faster? Or are they the same. Should I return my EVGA one for the Gigabyte version to save $200?

The chips inside these GPUs are all made by Nvidia. The only difference is cooling and factory overclocks. The EVGA FTW is one of the top SKU's for the 2080 but the gaming performance will be very close to the Gigabyte. The FTW has a 30mhz higher clockspeed than the gigabyte card. That means on a benchmark the FTW will score a couple points higher.

Cooling for all of these cards will be within a few degrees of each other and noise will all be within a few db of each other.

I would go with the cheaper card, but since you already bought it, it is kinda crummy to return when it works fine.

I know it is kinda crummy. But returns aside, the cards should be extremely close in performance, cooling and noise, correct? I shouldn't notice a difference?

As for the companies, is there a better company customer service, and reliability?

EVGA . There are the best for Customer Service and RMA. No doubt!

How about Gigabyte? It's just that I can save a whole $220 and the Gigabyte card comes with Anthem, and BFV. That seems like a really good deal. Am I paying $200 for a slightly better card or am I buying the same card but with better RMA and costumer service?

If you are saving $200 then I'd say the Gigabyte. However I would just get the https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487415&Description=evga%20rtx%202080&cm_re=evga_rtx_2080-_-14-487-415-_-Product

The two should be almost identical in performance correct? Evga FTW vs Gigabyte gaming OC that is. Also the gigabyte has a higher factor overclock compared to the EVGA Black edition I think.

I'd still go for the EVGA card. They are amazing products! $699 is a great price too.

They will be identical. I would take the gigabyte gaming OC over the EVGA Black. The Black is not a bad card, but it is the lowest SKU for EVGA.
