Power and Temperature
Power
All wattage was taken from GPUz logs indicating Board Power Draw (W).
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING weighed in at 401W which is 7W over the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ’s power draw of 394W and 7 watts under EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB FTW3’s of 408W. Overclocking the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING added 44W to its total draw.
Temperature
The ambient room temperature at the time of testing was 22 degrees Celsius.
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING’s leveled off at 58.6 degrees Celsius, the coolest stock configuration temperature that we’ve seen on a GPU in a very long time. It maintained that with the fans running but not audible without an issue. That was cooler than the ASUS TUF RX 6800 XT that leveled out at 69 degrees Celsius and the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3’s efforts at 78.3 degrees Celsius. With the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING overclocked and maxed out on fan speeds, temperatures rose slightly to 60 degrees Celsius.
For comparison, the GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Founders Edition ran at 81c. Therefore, the cooling on the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING significantly improves upon the Founder’s Edition temperature by a large margin.

Join Discussion →Great review, but I do have a suggestion for the site. I wanted to compare this EVGA to the Asus LC reviewed the other day, and the methodologies and formats were different. It may be worthwhile to standardize how similar cards are reviewed by different authors.
I agree.
I was asking myself the same thing.
The methodology is actually quite similar, the graph presentation is not - I'll move over to the new style graphs very soon which should synch us up fairly well. I had a very short window to crank this one out as the step up notification for this card to poof into a 3090 Ti had appeared...
