Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got lucky back in 2020 and one of the last big drops I was able to pick up this card. My previous card was a RTX 2080 which I foolishly sold when I heard that this was coming out. The power draw was considerable, my 6-year old 750W Seasonic was not up to the task and would constantly reboot unless I undervolted the card. After upgrading to a 1000W Seasonic the system is much more stable. Temps and fan noise are minimal under most situations. If you do try mining with the card, you may want to consider putting new thermal pads on the memory chips, which tend to run extremely hot at over 100C. I wouldn't reccomend it though since if it dies you're not going to find another card to replace it in this market for less than $2000. Buy one if you can find one. They're great cards.

finally got this awhile back and it has been an amazing upgrade. i tried 4k on rdr2 and worked great. perfect upgrade for the time we are in with graphics. you dont need to go overkill, this works perfect.

This card is hard to beat for the $$ to performance. If you are looking at this card though, you probably already know that. Whether you are gaming or mining crypto, you should definitely replace the thermal pads for better performance.

Finally got my hands on a founders RTX 3080. Great value and powerful card. Only complaint would be thermals, I am hovering around 102c, lower than some but its up there in temp. Wish Nvidia would have done a better job with cooling from factory.

It took me too long to decide upgrading my PC and it was worth the wait for the RTX 3080, i currently not using 4k monitor so i can't say anything of 4k gaming never the less all my games run way smoother than before

Overall this card has been great. Killing it at 1440p. I upgraded to a 4k gigabyte m28u monitor and still get good fps Card looks great, run great, temps are pretty low for such a powerful gpu.

Got lucky with getting one on the October 9th dump. Been loving it ever since and its pushing every game to the limits. Amd is definitely going to give it it's run for the money though, hope everyone is able to get whatever they can. Good luck out there guys.

It's everything I could of hoped for and more, demolishes anything I throw at it, constantly hitting 144fps limiters on all games max settings. Sitting outside a best buy for 13 hours and realizing I forgot to charge my switch WORTH IT.

Great card! Easy to use and no issues whatsoever. I may be biased to NVIDIA but in my opinion they are truly the best. Pound for pound nothing else compares when it comes to cost vs performance. If your lucky enough to snag one its definitely worth it.

This is a great GPU if you can get it for it's retail price. Good thing Nvidia sets the price for the FE, so the stores that sell them (Best Buy, and Microcenter) can't mark them up. Like other retailers have been doing to graphic cards.

Mainly play competitive FPS games. I run a 1080 165hz monitor. Many will say this card is overkill, but I disagree. If you like playing your games with graphics maxed out and highest frames, this is the card for you. A little side note Rainbow Six Siege will run 165 fps in 4k render. Impressive. Excellent card, upgraded from Asus ROG Strix 1080 Ti. The reviews weren't lying when they said if youre still gaming in 1080p your cpu will likely become a bottleneck. If you find your cpu usage high in game change your settings to render at 1440p or 4k. Youll notice higher frames and lower cpu usage. This is especially true in Modern Warfare. If you're coming from the 9 or 10 series its definitely worth the upgrade. If you have a 20 series id at least wait for the 3080 Ti or 4000 series. This card is heavy, but no worries about sag due to its unibody design. Feels high quality.

Exceptional GPU! Hands down! Worth the wait ! I love the premium look and compact concealed design. I am pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to install the drivers and sync it. It was great through and through. Will defintely buy again.!

Nice and powerful gaming graphics card Plug and play

Amazing performance. So glad to get one from Best Buy for regular price too. I upgraded from the 5700XT and let's just say it's a huge improvement and that card is a solid mid-range card that still performs well today.

IMO, the 3080 Founder's Edition is the one of the best bang for the buck GPU "available" today. Build quality is excellent and ime, the GPU runs cool. If I had to nitpick one thing, it would be the lack of abundant rgb like the strix or ftw3.

Best deal there is regarding performance to value in modern graphics cards. Also awesome that BestBuy isn't price gauging like almost every other retailer selling graphics cards. If you're able to get one of these, you will not regret it.

this cards are legends they should be in a museum. looks epic and they work great I would want more only if its possible if you get one you will never return it. also this card feels like a brick of steel.

Being able to get a 3080 from BestBuy was great considering scalper prices elsewhere. It is a beast and has been able to support my little gaming + heavy usage of video/photo editing programs for rendering and what not. Thanks for everything!

Solid GPU for the price! Not gonna get into the specs, plenty of youtubers that do that already. Love the clean aesthetic in my black and silver build. I love Bestbuy for allowing manual users to have a chance at buying! #BeatTheBots

I completely adore this card. I've been running it with my 5800X and it runs absolutely flawlessly. Stays quiet ( recommend having fans pointing up at it) or else the quiet very quickly goes away. It's pretty absurdly fast compared to my old 1080.
