Yes this is the same card I had up for trade previously but upon testing it fully I picked up the below observations.
Condition:
It seems somewhere along the line the card has picked up air bubbles in the cooler, I picked this up while testing the card in different systems you can hear it's happened because the pump becomes noisy these are mostly easy to deal with by taking the gpu out and shifting it around because it is much like an AIO with how they pick up air bubbles then how you get rid of them.
The cooler also has a filler port on the side but I assume it is not so easy to just top the cooler up. The temps in this current heat on stock fan settings are 44 degrees on idle and 60 to 72 degrees under gaming load. With fans ramped up temps are 38 degrees on idle and 58 to 63 degrees under load (This is fans sitting around 80%). Checked the internet and these thermals still seem normal for a Matrix.
So yes this is still a rare 2080Ti but as honest as I always can be with others I find the air bubbles worrying unless you never plan to move the gpu around ever because once the air bubbles are settled inside the temps are okay and the bubbles won't be an issue.
Yes you could waterblock this and have amazing thermals too but I don't like ruining nice cards for no reason.
So after reading this look at the bottom to see possible trades with cash difference I could be considering.
