Review: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition

Power, Temperature and Noise

More GPU power means, inevitably, more electricity usage. Our sample card pulls an extra 40 system-wide watts over RTX 3080 FE.

Both cards manage to keep the GPU at the same kind of temperature.

But the RTX 3080 Ti FE's fans have to work harder, purely because they're tasked with exhausting more heat. Logs show its fans run at an average 1,840rpm compared to the RTX 3080 FE's 1,650rpm.
