No reason to consider Alibaba used up 5080s, you can get the real deal for 1k! I was considering a 4080 Super when I found out the 5080 is actually better despite its AI heavy focus. See modern GPUs can "invent" frames if your game is laggy, which is an oddity because that just means you need a stronger card. If you're doing rendering for 3D projects you need CUDA Cores and VRAM and this baby is loaded with 16 gbs of VRAM and is currently like the 3rd best GPU period. Considering the 5090 is like 2 times the price of the 5080 and finding it at MSRP is probably a myth. This is quite literally the best bang for the buck.
Clean, quiet
Overall great card so far
Minamilist design, sff ready, no rgb
- Ray Tracing is a thing, and it's pretty good. - Trying to get this card to hit 60c is actually outside of benchmarks takes some work. - No 12VHP; No staring at it hoping it doesn't catch fire. - Minimal RGB - Great fans
- Ran very cool and quiet - Reassuring Green LED when power connector is fully attached - free anti-sag brace
Incredible Card All Around.
Faster (AND cooler) than my 3080. Uses a LOT less power too (obviously).
You already know it is the best card out there money can buy. This one works, no crashing in games.
Big Chonker Fantastic cooling Nice mounting bracket Maxed out every game ive thrown at it @ 1440p 100fps minimum (Cyberpunk, FFVII: Rebirth, RDR2, Black Desert) 4 Year warranty More *available* at launch than other models
Not difficult to install, but takes care to get it right. Makes it possible to enhance videos using Topaz Video AI. Note that it takes over 24 hours of GPU running full tilt to enhance a 1 Hr video. But results are amazing.
- Quiet - Good for the price
It's exactly what it's supposed to be and was brand new in box. Shipping was on the longer end, but still within normal time.
Excellent speeds Sturdy and well made No coil whine No RGB (con or pro)
-really clean and beautiful design for an all white build -solid performance for AAA games like COD, GTA, etc -in COD it ran between 140-180 fps but with DLSS activated it stays consistent between 210-250 fps with high settings. -i didnt know it was the overclocked edition so thats a boost and a plus -surprisingly quiet
It did but it came with some small scratches nothing to go crazy about
Great performance and cooling. I originally bought a gigabyte and received a faulty card. I ordered this one and it works like a charm.
Definitely an upsell to its bigger brother- however; sale prices make this very tempting for those who want to get it for 50 for even 60-70 off sometimes
