Customers frequently mention the excellent performance and effective cooling system of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 AORUS MASTER graphics card, along with its attractive LCD screen for customization. However, some users note the card's large size and point out challenges with the RGB software and its higher price point compared to other models. A few also reported power limitations.
I went into this card knowing I wasn't going to be overclocking it and if I did, it would be minimal. Despite that, the performance is insane coming from a RTX 2070 Super. I have not reached past 66 in temps. It is quiet, a little flashy, and just enormous. I think it's wrong that Aorus doesn't supply a bracket because of sag but I just used JayzTwoCents idea of putting screws near the back side of the pc. I'll demonstrate in pictures. Despite that I do have a GPU sag installed but it's not necessary. Paranoia I guess. I don't know what people are having trouble with in RGB Fusion. I've turned off my pc and it has kept the same gifs, jpegs, or whatever enthusiast application I have put up. I'm not seeing the problem with the software that other's are complaining about. I can't believe I have one of these cards still.

Performance: Because of the 350W power limit, this card cannot perform as well as it should as if it was a 3x 8pin card(Xtreme version) during overclocks. What this means is that it's unable to maintain a higher average overclock due to the power limit. I was getting lower scores than a 3x 8pin card I was comparing it to during benchmarks that has a higher power limit of 450W. Even though it's power limited, in actual gaming experience that would only be 1-3fps difference at most. What this card is great at is maintaining a good average temperature. During benchmarks, I was getting an average temperature of low 50s with the GPU fans at 100% which isn't loud at all. Rather quiet compared to other GPUs I've used. Benchmarks are made to push the card at its limit so I would believe that most games wouldn't even get the card reaching above 60c or around low 60c with a custom fan curve and decent airflow from the case. Overall the card performs pretty well. It's a bit pricy for a dual 8pin card with a lower power delivery of 350W compared to other cards within the price range. The fans are really quiet and the card itself cools really well. RGBfusion which is used to control the LCD that can be a bit tricky to get working. Every reboot, I had to manually get back to the LCD options in RGBfusion in order for my custom GIF to display which stays on until I restart the PC. Takes about 10 seconds at most. Since I have a gigabyte board, I rely on RGBfusion for most of my lighting anyway. If you're not into overclocking or benchmarking, this card isn't a bad buy. At this price range, I would prefer something with a bit more power for overclocking. Other then that, I guess the LCD screen and great temps makes up for it.

First this card is very powerful and will deliver on FPS in every 1080p-1440p title. Secondly, this card has great overall look and performance, the LCD screen is a huge vinous but it does not display cpu temps which in my opinion is a big negative. The card running COD Warzone and Cold War, temps only reached 69 degrees C maximum and stayed in that range sometimes even lowering too the 50’s. Further this card is a heavy beast, you will need a sag bracket I bought the Lian li graphics card sag bracket at micro center for around 10 dollars. this mounts to your mother board and seems to work very nicely. Further depending on what cpu you have will also determine the FPS you get so don’t forget about getting a solid cpu to match the power of this card.
