Customers frequently mention the excellent performance of the GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING graphics card, citing its ability to handle demanding games at maximum settings. However, some customers note that the card runs warmer than other models. The high performance is a major selling point, but potential buyers should be aware of the slightly elevated temperatures.

This card ain't cheap, but it's the best bang for the buck of the RTX 3000 series, IMO. I've had ZERO problems running any of the latest games on my 43" 4K Samsung. I added a pair of intake fans to help cool this beast. I had to wait over 2 months to get mine, but it's so well worth it.

An amazing card with great long term warranty options from EVGA, make sure you make an account and register it on their website. I haven't had an power delivery issues like some have been complaining about, and you can fine tune the fan curves on EVGA Precision X1 software to keep it very cool. Gaming I might hit 70, and on idle I'm stable around 30 with very little to no added fan noise in a tempered glass, mesh front and top case. Very impressed with it at 1440p 60hz, and hopefully will get 144hz soon. Looks beautiful, but with the 3rd 8 pin just know that you need a minimum 750 for standard bios on it without undervolting. My computer still freaks out on boot thinking that it has to be undervolted, but with an EVGA 80+ gold psu I've monitored clock speeds and power delivery and I have no issues. I would definitely suggest an 850w psu though for heavy constant gaming just in case there's ever a power draw spike (which I've never seen, but it's possible). Embargo prices are unfortunate, but in my opinion still worth it because the cooler is great, and yeah the rgb is awesome (can turn it off if you don't want it) EVGA is king.

Pros: -EVGA has one of the best customer service centers, along with great Warranties. -Looks amazing! That RGB strip is a lot better than the pictures show -Lots of power draw if you want to OC competitively. Cons: -Runs a bit warmer than other cards -Huge power draw so make sure you have a good PSU Under heavy gaming with 1440p 144hz I get to about 70c. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is that it runs a bit warmer than other cards.
