EVGA has launched the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Elite with black or white shroud options. This ACX 3.0 plus iCX cooling system graphics card features faster 12006MHz GDDR5X memory. Thanks to the faster VRAM it offers 528GB/s of memory bandwidth, claimed to be nine per cent better than previous GeForce GTX 1080 Ti models.
The new EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Elite leverages EVGA iCX technology, which the firm is eager to popint out isn't just the triple fan cooler you see in the product shots, that's the dual-slot compatible ACX 3.0. EVGA iCX includes nine additional sensors and MCUs embedded on the PCB, custom airflow chambers, onboard thermal LED indicators, custom die-cast base- and backplates, and full cooling monitoring and asynchronous control of the triple fan ACX cooler via EVGA Precision XOC.
Official highlights of the new FTW3 Elite cards, plus key specifications, are as follows:
