The GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X 10G OC delivers the ultra performance that gamers crave, powered by Ampere—NVIDIA's 2nd gen RTX architecture. It's built with enhanced RT Cores and Tensor Cores, new streaming multiprocessors, and superfast G6X memory for an amazing gaming experience. Graphene Backplate A composite Graphene backplate reinforces the graphics card while providing passive thermal conduction properties. Core Pipe Precision-crafted heat pipes ensure max contact to the GPU and spread heat along the full length of the heatsink. Triple Fan Thermal Design TORX Fan 3.0: The award-winning MSI TORX Fan 3.0 design creates high static pressure and pushes the limits of thermal performance. Zero Frozr: Calm before the storm, keeping fans still and maintaining silence until cooling is needed. Thermal Padding: An abundance of thermal pads use any chance for additional heat transfer directly from the components. MSI's exclusive Dragon Center software lets you monitor, tweak and optimize MSI products in real-time.

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080: Powered by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics processing unit (GPU) with a 1710MHz boost clock speed to help meet the needs of demanding games.

  • Antialiasing and anisotropic filtering: Antialiasing and anisotropic filtering delivers striking graphics with incredible realism.

Q: Can this card fit inside of a razer core x thunderbolt 3 egpu enclosure because I have a gaming laptop with a gtx 1070 inside of it and its falling a bit behind.

A: It'll be a tight fit, but please don't waste your money. You're already pegging your TB3 connection; which utilize either 2 or 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0, depending on your laptop. The RTX 3000 series utilize PCIe 4.0 x16; it would be backwards compatible but at 3.0 speed. It should theoretically work, but you'd be unlikely to see any performance uplift. I use a dock for my laptops, and thought eGPU's were an awesome idea, but as fast as TB3 is, it's the bottleneck for an eGPU. I'm just a dude on the internet, so please verify my answer before making a decision. Sorry if I burst your bubble. Hopefully, I helped a younger version of me save some dough, while looking longingly at the sold out 3080 listings.

Q: What does the BV stand for in the model?

A: BV is a note that it is sold within Best Buy. Nothing else is different other than the name of the SKU.
