Question 1

Is this the OC version?

Accepted Answer

Look for an "O" in the title. Like "O10G". With ASUS, the "O" more than likely means factory overclocked or overclockable.

Question 2

Is the tuf logo rgb?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ASUS Aura compatible.

Question 3

Will this card fit in a NZXT H1 case?

Accepted Answer

Ok here's what the specs show. Length wise, yes, the GPU will fit. But the slot thickness for the H1 case is 2.5 slot max. The TUF is 2.7 slots. So I wouldn't risk it with this card. You may have to get a FE or something like that.

Question 4

is this oc ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes. But to be clear, this is a "OC" model coming with slightly higher clock by default, which is why it cost a little more than regular 3080. It can still be OC'd more by user, but will mostly depend on cooling overhead capabilities of your PC.

Question 5

Does this card use the reference 3080 PCB?

Accepted Answer

If you are asking about the same PCB that is in the founders edition, no. Only the 3080 FE uses that PCB. All 3rd party cards are using an aftermarket PCB. But most of them run cooler than the FE because of larger/better coolers.

Question 6

Is this an LHR card?

Accepted Answer

This is absolutely an LHR card. I've been listening to all the advise stating that the labeling has to be in the description. Its practically false advertisement!

Question 7

Is this a new card with Asus factory warranty, or is it an old card previously used for mining?

Accepted Answer

Its new, but LHR all day!

Question 8

Is this LHR?

Accepted Answer

An LHR card would have a model number with a "V2" in it such as TUF-RTX3080-O10G-V2-GAMING and this one does not. An LHR card would have "LHR" visible on the upper right hand corner of the front of the package and this one does not. Based on its description shown here this looks like one of the earlier version full hash rate cards.

Question 9

will this card run in pci express 3.0 x 16?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Video Card TUF-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING can run in a PCI Express 3.0 x 16 slot, although it is designed for PCI Express 4.0.

Question 10

Can I successfully power this card with a single double-headed cable -- i.e., one power cable with two 8-pin connectors?

Accepted Answer

Technically you could. But I wouldn't Risk it because of the cards power consumption. Its a much safer option to just use 2 PCI-e Cables
