"The UEFI layout is quite good and displays exactly what you need to see. This is an important feature given that many manufacturers tend to overcomplicate the interface in an attempt to show "everything" or do the opposite and hide everything in a list of complex menus. The EVGA UEFI is very straight forward showing you the current state of your system while giving you appropriate menus to make adjustments."

"EVGA is here to say that there’s gotta be a better way. The iCX way is to instead rely on a series of thermal sensors and microcontrollers built onto the PCB that intelligently determine which of this graphics card’s fans should spin, at what speed, and for how long...EVGA has pushed the core and boost clocks to 1,569MHz and 1,683MHz, respectively. The GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 also gets a small bump to its effective memory clock, raising it to 11,016MHz."

"So how does this relate to real world performance? Do the redesigned fins, and the little pins, and the fins spinning at different speeds really make an improvement? Yeah, it does. While overclocked 115 on the GPU and 300 on the memory, looping unigine heaven for about half an hour, temps stabilized at about 52 degrees Celsius, and other tests stabilized around 64c, the ACX card averaged about 70c with the same overclock applied."
