Customers value the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 VISION OC's high performance and effective cooling system, frequently praising its ability to handle demanding games smoothly. Many appreciate its aesthetically pleasing white design and sleek appearance, which complements white-themed builds. However, some customers note that the card's substantial size may present compatibility issues with certain computer cases. Overall, the positive feedback on performance and aesthetics outweighs concerns about the card's dimensions.
Ordering and Shipping: This was the first graphics card I have purchased and Best Buy's system for waiting in line actually worked pretty well. I was "waiting in line" for both an FE and this card and this is the card that I was able to check out with. I ordered on Nov. 20 for about $830 after tax and received the card on Nov. 28 in perfect condition. Quality: Build quality of the card is fantastic. No scuffs on the exterior, no scratches, perfect finish. This white, silver, and purple design is beautiful. I think this card is probably the best looking 30 series card. Performance: Stock performance on this card is fantastic. Stock idle temps for me (H510 Elite) were about in the low 40s during idle and during gaming sessions I never saw it go above 60 Celsius with highest settings enabled and ray tracing on in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Ops Cold War. This card also maxes out my monitors refresh rates (155hz 1440p and 240hz 1080p) in pretty much every game that I throw at it except the most demanding games. With some help from MSI afterburner, I was able to get a +110 core clock and +750 memory clock. I also adjusted the fan curve so now my card idles in the mid 30s and never gets above 55 Celsius during gaming which I'd call a win considering the case I have. In addition, my memory junction temps never really go above the mid 70s during gaming and the card is pretty quiet, even with the adjusted fan curve. I'm unsure about how much this card draws in terms of power, but I'm running it using an NZXT 750W power supply and haven't had any issues. Cons: Honestly, I don't have much to say that's negative about this card. My biggest complaint is how poorly lit the Gigabyte logo is. I believe they only use 1 LED behind a light diffuser to light the logo and it looks quite poor. My other complaint is that on the side of the card facing you once it's installed, there's a cable that runs across the hit sink. The cable seems to be fine, but it doesn't look good considering the rest of the card looks incredible. While not really a con, I'd be weary of how physically big the card is. It is a LARGE card and may not fit every case that you try to put it in. In my H510 Elite, I have a little less than an inch of clearance between the end of the card and the radiator. Final Thoughts: Overall, I'd recommend this card to anyone and everyone. Even in my H510 Elite case, which is known for bad thermals, it outperforms my friends founders edition 3080s in both temps and gaming and one of them is running their card in a Meshify C, a high airflow case. If you're able to get your hands on this card, consider yourself lucky. Gigabyte did a fantastic job with it and I'm very happy and lucky to have been able to get one when I did and have been so blessed with it thermally. Finally, at the time I purchased the card, I paid $830 after tax. At this price, I would consider the card to be a good value. At current prices, I would not consider this card, or any card similarly priced, to be that good of a value, but I will use the price I purchased it at for the breakdown.

Took 4 months to snag one, but well worth it. Upgraded from a 1070ti there was a huge performance boost in games. Handles 1440p gaming very well. -Card is big so make sure to have a case, length wise, that’s big enough to support this beast. Pros - graphic quality - aesthetically pleasing - easy to set up - customizable Gigabyte logo colors Cons - price - Fan software isn’t the best (new updates take a long time to download)

Super hard to buy, but this is the best looking 3080 in my opinion. Plays Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer in 1440p at 200-240 FPS on medium settings with DLSS on quality and Ultra textures pack installed. Runs pretty steady at 60⁰C while gaming on the stock fancurve. I OC'd to +150 on the core clock and +500 on the memory, but these cards seem to crash a lot if they run faster than 2100MHz on the core clock, so depending on your ambient temperature you'll have to dial that core back, I settled on +115 on the core to keep the clock under 2100MHz while gaming to avoid crashes. Pulls around 358Watts under 100% load, and you cannot increase the power limit above that. Super clean looking and quiet. Catch myself just staring at it all the time.
