ASUS - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Strix Graphics Card

So quick tips for you guys to buythis GPU, this is how I grabbed mine. 1) First of all, look at all the NowInStock sale times for any 3080/3090. 2) Most of them go for sale on Thursday or Friday from 7:05-7:55 am pacific if you shop BestBuy. BestBuy has recently been releasing them in small waves that last up to an hour. You can also try 11:15-11:55 am pacific. 3) When you see the yellow "add to cart" button, the page will refresh and let you know that due to high demand, there will be a delay in adding the item to the cart. 4) Go ahead and refresh the page multiple times. I went up to 6-10x times, maybe 45 secs or so, until it allowed me to add to cart. The page may lag due to high demand. 5) Once in your cart, go ahead and checkout. 6) BestBuy will 2 step verify your account email for a code. Input code and checkout. 7) I would not recommend checking out with Paypal. My friend was forced to 2 step verify twice and lost his GPU before placing the order. I was able to grab this Strix 3080 and a friend nabbed a 3090 FE using this method. He was also apply to add a second GPU, but couldn’t buy to the one per customer limit. Good luck. Pros: For those wondering if BestBuy sells the OC or non-OC version, I was shipped the OC version. Go ahead and buy without concerns. This card is hefty compared to my EVGA 1070. I might decide to use a bracket so it doesn't sag, but it doesn't seem to weigh down too much. Looks pretty sexy, ngl. Idles at about 41* C in my rig. Runs Warzone at 52-56* C. Cold War at 54-59 C *. Fans are currently set to 0 DB mode. My 1070 would run at approx. 65-75* C for both games. I’m not hearing a coil whine from the GPU as well. I’m seeing about 50-80 FPS increase with the Strix 3080 in stock mode. 1070 hit low 90-low 100s. Max in Cold War multi was 225 FPS, with it at about 175-195 for most of it. Will OC at some point. My 1070 was starting to fail me, Warzone would have random GPU crashes. Reports would stay that it failed to run. It was developing a weird fan noise too. No issues with the Strix 3080 and I played a couple of hours. Cons: RGB Control is difficult. Looks like multiple RGB controllers don’t detect the Strix and the ASUS brand controller is glitchy. ICUE doesn't even detect my Strix 3080. Having issues with ASUS GPU Tweak II as well. 3x 8 pin connector is a bit of a hassle if you want to do it right. You're suppose to use at a minimum 2x PCIe cables. Overall very happy with the GPU. Nice to see my rig finally not crash with Warzone. Will probably see how Destiny and Squadrons works with it soon. BestBuy shipped it promptly and I got it 2 business days later. Packing material could’ve been better. The process to buy sucks, but try to use my tips next time. We had luck with it.

After 3 months of trying to get this exact video card I was able to get it in November was worth the wait and the money! It’s just a sexy looking card I would of went for the white strix if I’d known. But I’m happy with my purchase and would do it again :). 10/10 rgb on this card and performance is one of a kind

Amazing product. Beast out of the box without OC. Most games are getting 120+ FPS in 4K with the 5800x. Just the best 3080 you can get.

Loving this GPU. The only con for me is the increase in price, but it's an overall beast! Coming from gaming consoles (including PS5), this GPU is pretty mind-blowing to me. Delivers excellent performance when Gaming, video editing, and streaming. Obviously consoles don't compare to this, but just a perspective for those coming from gaming consoles.

Th asus strix rtx 3080 is an amazing gpu that will crush any game you throw at it, the design is also very esthetically pleasing!

Excellent GPU runs everything at 1440p ultra with Ray Tracing and DLSS on. Too bad 98% of the people who want one can’t get one. When your day comes and that gray please wait button turns yellow add to cart, and you get a successful checkout, the victory will me that much sweeter. Screw the scalpers, I don’t blame miners, who am I to say how someone uses the products they purchase. If you bot, you suck I don’t care what you’re doing with the card. But again back to the card, I can promise you, the Strix product line has topped itself again.

Not really need to say too much about this graphic card. ASUS/ROG means best for gamers. The only thing you need to worry about is the availability.

Card is a beast. Ran it through the benchmarks and it never broke a sweat unlike another brands RTX card I got last month. I didn't even have any ray tracing games until the free call of duty game that came with this card and I'm hooked on the feature and the performance of this 3080. Eagerly awaiting the next Forza Motorsport to have ray tracing.
