Customers admire the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING OC 12GB Graphics Card's performance and its substantial 12GB of RAM, praising its excellent cooling system and ability to maintain relatively low temperatures even under heavy load. However, some customers find the card's size to be a drawback, requiring a spacious computer case for installation. The high price point is also a recurring concern for some buyers.

Managed to finally get a hold of one after avoiding scalpers for the past year, and thankfully finally nabbed one. This thing is amazing, coming from a 2080 Super, this GPU is an absolutely amazing piece of tech. I was worried that it was gonna have a hard time fitting in my case, but re-routing some cables was not a big deal. Runs amazing, and stays fairly cool. My 2080 Super would hit about 81°C when running MW with relatively high settings, and no ray tracing, and this behemoth manages to hold down below 65° while on all maxed settings and ray tracing enabled.

This is probably the best card you can get right now for the price if you are willing to pay. I upgraded from a RTX 2070 Super FE to this after many months of not being able to snag a RTX 3080 FE. I will say without a doubt that this is better than the FE for one sole reason. The proprietary connectors that come off from the FE cards are ugly. My opinion of course. (not a performance reason) But if you do want a performance reason its the factory OC thats beats the FE cards. Duh Anyway this card REALLY impressed me in the Forza 5 benchmark and that alone deserves 5 stars. Every other game surpasses my expectation. Im sure this is great in 4k but I cannot justify the price of those monitors. The card does run fairly warm as expected just be warned it will warm up your room if you have no circulation of air. Also has very light "coil wine" but I wear headphone so I do not hear it. Overall a fantastic card for the value (compared to a 3080 Ti) and highly recommend for 1440p gaming. She is a BEAST! Thanks to Gigabyte for making this a LHR card. +1 for gamers. 0 for miners!
