Noise, Power Consumption and Temperatures
Noise
This is a blower type card, and they’re typically known to be louder than most aftermarket coolers. However, at 48dBa, it’s far from the loudest card we’ve tested, scoring a result that is on par with that of the NVIDIA GTX Titan X 12GB, although that should come as no surprise given the similar design.
Power Consumption
The 1080 Ti may be efficient, but it is also very powerful, and while we’ve seen that it delivers a lot of performance, it does sip a lot of juice too. I’d be more concerned if all that wattage weren’t giving up lots of FPS, but we know the power is going to good use.
Temperatures
The card does get pretty hot, although still runs a little cooler compared to the Titan X, showing a nice improvement on generations as this card is faster and cooler, which also maintaining a comparable noise rating from the fan, which is pretty impressive.
