ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 TUF-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING Video Card

Pros: - Very performant across all games, and VR - Only requires 2 8-pin PCI cables from PSU - Card really isn't that much larger than my old MSI 1070 Gaming-X (1-2 inches longer) - No crashing at all (using latest Nvidia driver)

Cons: - None as of now (only been running the card for 2 days)

Overall Review: I upgraded from a GTX1070 Gaming-X, so the performance boost is massive. I only have a 1080p monitor right now, so I'm not getting the most out of the card, currently. I want to invest in a 1440p or 4k monitor soon. At 1080p, I was mostly running games at medium settings with a few high or ultra settings. Example: Hell Let Loose - Medium preset, a few settings to low, a few to high. Averaged around 40-50fps on GTX1070 - With the 3080, all maxed/ultra settings, 150% resolution multiplier, averaging 80-100fps or so. Which is something I could not even dream of on my 1070. I'd get like 10fps on ultra. VR is also amazing with the 3080. I've been running maxed settings, with 150-200% resolution scaling, and I'm getting smooth performance. I've tried: No Mans Sky, Elite Dangerous, and IL2: Battle of Stalingrad. All performed very high, no drops. I have not overclocked the card more than what it came as, so I can't confirm stability with additional overclocking. I know the cards are in insanely short supply right now, but if you can get one, these TUF cards are fantastic (I'm sure all 3080's area great, though). But this is the only one I can personally recommend. Keep trying to refresh those pages, best of luck to everyone. Hope you get lucky soon.

Pros: - Boosts are steady near 2ghz - Solid metal construction - I was able to order one of these

Cons: - None

Overall Review: Beware this card is huge. It barley fits in my large tower case.

Overall Review: Runs stable at 1900Mhz without any tweaking. Tire marks on the card are kinda eh. But other than that I love the minimal rgb and non gamer esque look.

Pros: This card is a beast! I upgraded from 2070 Super and I literally see the double the performance. I can't believe I actually own this card. Been a long time since I paid this much for a gpu, but I have no regrets. The cooler on this card is great. Even at the highest stress levels, the card remains cool and quiet.

Cons: Not really a con, but be aware the card is huge!

Overall Review: I have this card in an ITX build and it still runs quiet and cool. Specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I GPU: Asus TUF RTX 3080 RAM: 32GB Trident Z Royal Silver SSD: 1TB Sabrent Rocket Q Power Supply: Corsair SF600 CPU Cooling: Wraith Prism Case: CM MasterBox NR200P Operating System: Windows 10 Whole system power consumption under highest load has topped out at 474 Watts.

Pros: Top quality. Has the best cap configuration (6mlcc). Excellent cooler and not noisy even at 100% fan speed.

Cons: Not exactly a con but the card is huge. Due to top quality, this model in particular is a scalper magnet, almost impossible to buy.

Overall Review: I wish the launch wasn’t such a s—- show. Card however is amazing.

Pros: I'm upgrading from a GTX 1070 and oh boy what a difference! In 3dmark Time Spy I jumped from 6,200 graphics score points on the GTX 1070 to a staggering 17,500 graphics score points on this card. That's more than 10,000 points of a performance increase in that benchmark! My 2k 144hz monitor is now actually worth while as this GPU is more than capable of pushing that resolution at that framerate in nearly all the games I've played with settings near or entirely maxed out. I don't believe I've played a game yet where the framerate hasn't been past 100fps at max settings (However, I don't have a lot of newer games, some examples would be: Need For Speed: Heat, Black Desert Online, GTA 5, Destiny 2, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (With a bunch of mods), Satisfactory, and Crysis Remastered (not maxed settings, that's for sure)) Noise wise I can't hear the card over my system, although I have noticed a slight coil wine noise. (Using a Corsair RM 850x power supply, it could also be related to that as my old GPU did the same.) Temperature wise I've been very impressed as I haven't seen the temperature reach past 70'C, however since it seems to always be within the ballpark of 70'C that makes me believe 70'C is the card's target temperature, possibly.

Cons: The package contents were as barebones as you can get. There was the card, some informational papers/branding, that was it. It would've been nice to see at least a well needed GPU support bracket included, as the card definitely sags. RTX/DLSS support still seems uncommon at best unless you're buying the latest triple A games. I hope to see more games adopt this technology.

Overall Review: I'm incredibly happy with my upgrade and I definitely recommend this card or other 3080's if you're not happy with your system performance.

Pros: I cannot hear this card over my system fans. Hottest I’ve ever seen it was 62 degrees with an extra 95mhz core clock and 800 on the memory. Extremely good build quality. Looks nice!

Cons: None

Overall Review: Amazing
