Q: What's the difference between this and the standard 3080 for $50 less other than the obvious 1 extra fan?

A: By the specifications, this card will be a few inches longer than the standard. You get 3x DisplayPort 1.4a which is the same as the reference, and an additional HDMI 2.1 over the reference card with just 1. The specifications for the core clock of this card is still TBD but it might have a higher clock speed than the reference, but its hard to say. Most AiB partners typically title there card with OC to let the buyer know that said card has a higher clock speed. Oh, and instead of the new 12 pin power connector, this card just has 2x 8 pins.

Q: What is the difference between this version and the Eagle?

A: Basically the warranty, go to the manufacturer's website to compare and see more details

Q: Does anyone know if this card can use pci 3.0 also. The Nvidia founder's edition rtx 3080 says it is compatible with pci 3.0. Thank you.

A: Online benchmarks have shown within certain terms the PCIE 4.0 has a small impact in this generation of NVidia Graphics cards. In the lauch time span of the RTX 3000 series the only available CPUs that have PCIE 4.0 are AMD Ryzen 3000 series pairing with B550 and X570 motherboards. Viewing comparitive benchmarks the different did not exceed 20 frames per second. In additional note latencies and frame rates were not sufficiently noted but should be considered as well.

Q: Will this come with the adapter that comes with the founders edition?

A: It looks like these third-party cards will have the standard dual 8 pin power connectors. Check out the pics.

Q: Anyone who was able to purchase a card care to share the date and approximate time in which you were successful?

A: BestBuy usually seems to drop between 10am-12pm EST. They used to do Tuesdays, but apparently there was one on Friday recently too.

Q: What are this cards dimensions?

A: Gigabyte GeForce RTX™ 3080 GAMING OC 10G ( GV-N3080GAMING OC-10GD ) Card size L=320 W=129 H=55 mm

Q: What are the dimensions so that I can find out if it will fit in my case?

A: no official info on dimensions listed yet. if you think your case is on the small side, you might want to look at the FE, which will be a little shorter than most three fan partner models i think

Q: Is it compatible with the ryzen 7

A: Hi Yg, Yes this GPU will have no compatibility issues with your Ryzen 7 processor. Hope this helps! - John

Awesome GPU for traditional and VR gaming
Goes without saying it was a nightmare being able to actually buy this GPU - Took almost a month to actually get lucky enough to make it through checkout. Performance for both traditional and VR using Oculus Rift S is really awesome. Consistently get 100+ FPS with most games on a 120Hz display. Only complaint it is super long, and impacts 3 HDD slots in my system. Not the end of the world, but would prefer it to be about an inch shorter. But it keeps cool, and the fans aren't loud, so clearly optimized design for cooling.

Great Card With One Major Issue
I really wanted to love this 3080, and don't get me wrong the performance is great. The cooler design looks cool, is quiet, and effective. The RBG on the outside is a nice touch without being too flashy. But, Gigabyte has a pretty serious issue when it comes to this specific card. The thermal pads on the memory were defective casing the card to overheat and thermal throttle. Under load, memory temps would spike to 110 C causing the card to slow down. The card also doesn't come with any thermal pads between the back of the PCB and the backplate, so the back plate is basically useless outside of looks. After discovering the thermal issues, I replaced the thermal pads on the memory and added thermal pads to the back and saw significant performance improvement. This was only about a $20 fix, but on an $800 GPU, I would expect better from the factory. Here's the jist: The 3080 is a beast of a card if you're lucky enough to get one, but if you have the choice, I'd go with a different variant and save yourself some hassle.

The most powerful card I've ever used
The hype is real. The 3080 is by far the most powerful card I've ever owned. Its VERY large though so take that into consideration if you have a smaller case. I have a full size keyboard with a numpad and it's nearly the same size lol (see pics). But if you have the money, a case to fit it in, at least a 750w power supply and a decent cpu (i would recommend at least a 5800x, 5900x or 5950x) to pair it with, then you're going to be enjoying the most premium of premium gaming experiences.
