A:AnswerASUS has had a long history of producing more reliable aftermarket GPUs than competitors. Their 2080 Ti for instance had more consistent thermals and stable overclocking when compared to its competition. That's why the ASUS Strix 2080 Ti is considered the best on the market currently. You are paying a higher price for that level of quality and consistency.
A:AnswerThat completely depends on the rest of your PC. If you are wanting to play on MAX setting with more than 5FPS, you might need to upgrade your CPU to thread-ripper. That being said, make sure you are custom water-cooling it with sea water and all applications are closed when playing. I have heard rumors that this game is more demanding than Crysis. So do not expect good performance, highly recommend 2x3090's in SLI for 10FPS.
A:AnswerI've seen tear down videos that people have supposedly done on on this card, just google Asus 3080 tear down, its a 5 minute video. In that video I saw the more expensive ones installed on all 6. Fingures crossed this picture here is just a computer generated refernce supplied to Best Buy.
A:AnswerI have almost given up but they do small waves of restocks, the scalpers and bots will always beat the normal people like us who want one. Just have to keep trying or wait for the hype to die down.
Good luck
A:AnswerBottlenecking is dependent on the game that you are playing, the resolution, graphic settings, and what framerate you are trying to hit. Check out the Gamers Nexus review on Youtube of the 3080 FE card.
A:AnswerNo, the included accessories can be found here. https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RTX3080-10G-GAMING/specifications/ Your power supply should have the required cables.
A:AnswerAccording to independent contracted testers, the latest model of the TUF card has two of the 10 MCLL caps the same as EVGA FW3 Flagship model and the Nvidia Founder Editions. The ROG Strix 3080 and 3090 models rumored to have all SIX, 10 MCLL caps. ASUS forum moderators who have had the opportunity to test the card along with a couple of well known youtubers have confirmed in similar post. As well as double down on consumers will need 850 watt gold power supply as minimum, and high recommend a 1000 watt power house from well known manufacturers to run the ROG Strix version of the cards. It is also recommend if you already have the watts in your current power supply it should be less than a year old.
I've been following this pretty closely as a run a gaming community with roughly 1000 plus members. A lot of new players with COV low end budget builds, basically trying throw 1500 horsepower engine into Pinto in hopes they can call it a supercar.
A:AnswerThe RTX 3080 cards are physically large and will not fit in all computer cases.
I *believe* the dimensions of the card are:
(L) 12.53 " x (H) 5.51 " x(W) 2.27 " Inch
(L) 31.85 x (H) 14.01 x (W) 5.78 Centimeter
Note that the RTX 3080 cards will take up between 2.5 and 3.0 slots.
Before purchasing the card, you should measure/inspect your case to determine if you have the room for the card.
A:AnswerThis is their top of the line card from Asus. Reports are stating at tom's hardware that the strix will be delayed and not launch until the 21st at the earliest. No other high end 3rd party gpu is going on sale yet either which makes this the most likely of outcomes.
