Reason Pack: KFA2 / Galax GTX 1080 Ti EXOC in review

In contrast to the ex-factory very high overclocked EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Gaming, KFA2 / Galax is a deliberate use of reason and mediocrity, so that two fans on this rather slim dual slot card should be enough. In general, the... The board is a good old acquaintance and comes directly from Nvidia. This in turn confirms that it is simply an unchanged reference design. This certainly has upfront and night parts, but saves costs first. We're going to be no... Cooling concept and implementation The back of the board is conspicuously inconspicuous and shows the dark traces of the glued-on thermal pads between the backplate and the board. Which would have made us look elegant at the cooling. Tue... Benchmarks in 2560 x 1440 pixels We have deliberately dispensed with Full HD (1920 x 1080p) as the KFA2 / Galax GTX 1080 Ti EXOC runs into the CPU limit even in the highest settings. In WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels), on the other hand, the actual work begins... Benchmarks in 3840 x 2160 pixels The KFA2 / Galax GTX 1080 Ti EXOC is in this high resolution, depending on the game, between 2 and approx. 4 percent faster than a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition or TitanX (Pascal). Overall, many titles ... When it is up to the power supply, we first need to know that the card with the factory settings with the 250 watts of the reference card has been set a very restrained Power Target, but this could be manually raised to just under 300 watts,... In fact achievable clock rates The actual achievable clock is subject to some influences. Even if GPU quality plays a bigger role here - unfortunately it cannot be influenced as the only element. And so it is in the end well möglic... Fan control and curves The difference in gaming in open and closed construction is clearly visible, which should of course also be measurable and audible. The start-up impulses are somewhat uncoordinated and you miss a little clearer... Summary There must be absolutely no shortcoming if a graphics card is not one of the fastest within its product category of factory overclocked cards with the same graphics chip. For the Founders Edition it still has...

Benchmarks in 3840 x 2160 pixels

The KFA2 / Galax GTX 1080 Ti EXOC is in this high resolution, depending on the game, between 2 and approx. 4 percent faster than a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition or TitanX (Pascal). Overall, many titles are quite good to play in UHD and when giving up one or the other quality setting, the titles all run really smooth and acceptable. Here, too, one is rather in direct comparison with the reference model and not with the significantly higher timed top-of-the-range models from the manufacturers.
