Nail-bitin' time to be buying GPUs, ain't it? Best Buy got this one to me in a week and a day after ordering, and had a better price than any of the major competitors online. First thing I did when I got it in was see how far I could overclock it - about +450 on the core when raising the voltage, resulting in up to 3300MHz gaming clocks, and an easy +2000mhz on the VRAM with the score going up repeatably the whole time (that is, not running into ECC issues, it just HAS that speed in it). Still running pretty cool, too, they really overbuilt the cooler on this gigantic card! Next, I found a sweet spot undervolting it that retained the vast majority of performance gains but tightens up voltage to about 0.985V max. Manually adjusting the F/V curve has great results with this card, allowing you to That was good for anywhere from 50W-80W power draw reduction, and even cooler temperatures, while still staying above 24000 in 3DMark Port Royal (which was my target after OCing got me into the mid 24000s). I have attached a screenshot of all benchmarks run on my PC so you can see what I'm working with. Please note, I work on audio with this PC, and I prioritize low noise from it. My 12900K processor in it is, as you can see from pics, air-cooled, and wattage limited to no more than 250W, with a temperature limit of no more than 90ºC (which is 10 degrees cooler than stock limits), which does result in slightly worse scores than other 12900K users who have water cooling and are pumping 300-400W into the same CPU. The 5080 replaced an AMD 9070 XT, which topped out at about 19500 on Port Royal after overclocking. That card replaced a Ventus 3080 12GB, which with its restricted power delivery managed about 12K in the same benchmark when undervolted. As you can imagine, the 5080 has been an absolutely thunderous upgrade in gaming, allowing me to play games in 4K with RT on which I never was able to do before.

I decided to upgrade my rig with this RTX 5080 Gaming OC, and the performance leap has been incredible. I have it paired with a Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and they work perfectly together—absolutely no bottlenecks. I’ve been testing it thoroughly with titles like Assassin's Creed Mirage and Call of Duty, and it handles everything on Ultra settings with impressive fluidity. Another huge plus is the VR performance; I use it with my Meta Quest 3, and the image stability is on another level compared to my previous card. Regarding this specific 'Gaming OC' model, I was pleasantly surprised by how cool and quiet it stays, even when I’m pushing it hard during long sessions. If you're looking for raw power for high-end gaming, I 100% recommend it.

I am in love with this card. I never see my card go above 65C, its super quiet. My AIO is louder. got a 2868 score in timespy 3d benchmarks out of the box, most 5080s get a 2400-2600 score. The octopus adapter it comes with stops voltage sag etc. Super worth it, but I did get a 10% discount off it. Wish it were a bit cheaper. but i am super happy with it.

Used almost exclusively with MS Flight Simulator, I upgraded from an EVGA RTX 3090 and an i9-9900K system. I initially build a new system with an AMD 9800X3d CPU with my existing RTX 3090 card. I saw a huge improvement with the new CPU, but this new card really lets me nearly max out the settings on a 34" UHD monitor. You can see the size difference from the 3090, so you need a large case. It runs much cooler than the 3090 too. I wish it had more VRAM, but other than that, it's a great card if you get it at MSRP.

I previously had a 7900xt and an rtx 5070 in a different PC. When paired with my ryzen 7 9800x3d and 64 gigs of ram, I felt like I needed more out of my gpu. Don't get me wrong, it's a little faster. But for more than twice the money of my 5070? Absolutely not. I've been a person who has always bought the second fastest card. That was the 70 series in the past. When Nvidia created the 90 series cards, all they did was give the performance of the 80 series cards to the 90 series and then pretend like they did something special so they could charge more money. Don't be like me. Get the 5070 and an oled 1440p monitor and you'll be set for a long time. Also, for my particular instance, I had to pull out one of my older much larger cases to be able to fit it. It was lucky that it was a vertical mount so I didn't have to brace it. But if you plan on maintaining it horizontally you will absolutely need to brace it.

This thing is a beast and to to mention how good it looks ,the RGB on the fans in probably one of the coolest things on this model, but make sure you have the clearance in your case for it since it's massive Would definitely recommend when the price comes down a bit

A fantastic and cool-running card; quiet & quick with a modest power draw. No CPU throttling (i9-14900K), but this card pushes the limit of my (60hz) monitor (upgrade is on the way). You've seen the reviews and know that this is essentially the 2nd highest performing 5080 at around $300 less! If its in stock near you, don't waste time! Pick one up!

Great product, works as described, shipped way faster than expected. Make sure you have 3 PCIe cables to power it, and a large enough case to fit it. Otherwise amazing product.

I was on the fence on getting an refurbished card, but I’m blown away. Everything is basically brand new in box, and it’s going above the baseline of other cards of similar models. Everything was wrapped completely and arrived in one piece. An amazing deal if you can still get one.

I have to say i wasn't expecting as many extra frames in some of these games as i am currently getting in for example in Battlefield 6 at 1440p i get around 300-350 FPS the picture with 600+ FPS in Battlefield 6 is on 1080p but 632 FPS is awesome too see and the game runs so smooth no hiccups or lag spikes anymore. The 4070 ti super was a solid card and still decent so i threw it in a second machine, but i am very pleased with the Gigabyte 5080 and future proofed the PC for the near future if you want a solid upgrade for the price and not worry get this card! PS. I have a i7-13700K w/64gb DDR5 RAM and a 1000w PSU so this card pairs perfect with my build

Great graphics card and runs flawlessly. The card is mounted vertically and the power cable comes right out from the top. No issues with my case interfering. Seems to run cool under no load. The controller software lets you do some cool stuff with the LEDs so I have mine set to represent the temperature of the card, since I've been a little paranoid about them getting hot. The fans provide plenty of cooling so I can focus on gaming instead of keeping one eye on it.

This GPU is amazing it is perfect for any game! Its also extremely quite which for me is a must for gaming pcs I 100/10 recommend
AlexM Posted
Overall I love this GPU! I installed it in my case a few months ago and have not been disappointed. This GPU gives an outstanding amount of performance for 1440p and 4k gaming and overall a great design! Would truly recommend to pick this card up.

So far its a great card. Stays cool, and idles at around 28C. It is a pretty massive card, takes up 3 slots. All in all I'm satisfied. Pricey though.

Very powerful and very quiet grapich card. Almost smooth 120 / 160 on 1440p gaming monitor.

Item arrived on time in good condition. The graphics card performs well and is a decent option if you are willing or able to spend the money (which is substantial). Also be aware of this GPU’s size is very large and it might be worth the money to have more room than expected in your computer tower if you can. Best Buy sold this for the best price at the time of purchase compared to competitors. Overall if you are looking to upgrade from a a gtx 1080 or older its a nice option.

I checked the temp using laser temp and it has an excellent cooling performance, it remains between 55 and 60 degrees in full load. Great benchmark with my current setup. Tried it on 5 different games. My friend has 4090 and the performance is almost equal. The ray tracing effect is amazing. The only thing that I will suggest is to add more RGB lighting effects.

A lovely upgrade to my old RTX 3070 FE, this is a hulk of a card. Uses lots of slots and lots of power. After confirming it has the correct specs using GPU-Z, I ran it through a suite of tests using 3DMark and some of the games I was interested in using it - Cyperpunk 2077, Ready or Not, STALKER 2, and WH40K: Darktide. Raytracing capabilities are good, multi-frame generation works even if you get that "vaseline" on the screen effect when you crank it. It holds nice low temperatures both in Silent mode and in Power mode. At $1400 USD (what I purchased) I can not say it's worth it. However, I am happy with the purchase given my previous card, and the longer multi year warranty with Gigabyte gives me confidence. Just make sure you register the product with them within 30 days! I can safely recommend this product at $1000 if you were able to get a sale, or use gift cards, or something like that. If you were considering this, I'd more likely suggest an RTX 5070 Ti in the Nvidia family, or maybe an RX 9070XT from AMD.
