Elden Ring, ubisoft Breakpoint, Borderlands, ubisoft Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, God Of War, with graphics maxed out on 3080 ti running intel 9k processor no problem at all .It does run loud but not having any heat issues. I think i'll be with this card for awhile. Was using nvidia 2070. The price of this card i thought was high but i was able and so far don't regret it. I was worried it would not fit my case length wise. It fit exactly where the 2070 went.

Lets start of saying Get a 3080 at 700-900$ if you can OVER any 3080Ti even at the hard to get 1,200$ FE price. I camped outside Best buy for 17 hours to get a card. I was trying get an 3080FE but where gone when it was my turn to pick and I'm not paying 300$ for 12GB of ddr6x in the 3090 over the 3080Ti. As an 165ghz 1440p monitor gamer Don't need 24GB! I placed a high-pressure case FAN in middle of card to help keep the DDRx6 cool seeing how the 3080 cooler is underperforming on the 3080TI at a much higher WATTs. Getting 210hmz on Core 9801mhz Runs at 65c gaming paired with an 5900x CPU. Just keep in mind this is an luxury good and will lose more value faster then the 3080 will.. At this time the 3080Ti is the Best gaming GPU at a horrible price This is nothing New. Ti's are now Meh seeing how supers will be coming before we know it but at what price lol...

Modest Improvement for the price...

At $1199.99. the modest improvement is hard to justify the price tag. It performs very well, but with one fan can run hotter and louder. You are going to get the most bang for your buck by getting a normal 3080 from Nvidia or a partner manufacturer. Prices are dropping, now is your opportunity! This card is double the price of the founders edition of the 3080 which retails at $699.99, and maybe gets 10-15% performance bump.

At the current price it’s a decent value for those looking to upgrade but not wanting to spend double on the 40xx series. Should be a solid card for years to come and handles almost anything you throw at it at or over 4k 60fps (with a few exceptions on really demanding games). Definitely does run a little on the warm side but nothing too unusual for a card with this much power.

Since getting this graphic card, I have no need for an upgrade, even to the 40 series. This does more than enough for what I need it for. Might hold onto this for a few generations as it's starting to get a bit bulky though

Great performance and cost ratio, in a slimmed down fit. Not monstrous like the partner cards and low key aesthetic.
Hits all the FPS, decent thermals, loads of features. Got it at the tail end of the cycle so yea that's the step right before the RTX 4000 series but this isn't in danger of catching on fire.

I was one of the lucky ones able to pick one of these up in store, and let me say that it was worth every penny. This card is paying for itself, I am both a content creator and a gamer and this card is helping me make my projects for my freelancing 10x better, is it worth 1200$?, well that's up for you to decide, but for me I'd say it's worth it. You are getting RTX 3090 performance out of it minus some VRAM, but unless you really really need it, I'd say this is the perfect card for you.
I might be a bit biased, but these founders edition cards are absolutely stunning, I only get FE cards because they are never made out of plastic like most of the AIB cards, also these are always guaranteed to be at MSRP prices instead of the higher prices from the 3rd party companies selling these cards, I highly recommend that if you find one of these in stock, to definitely buy if you NEED it.
Hopefully soon stock returns to normal and everybody will get to pickup the card they want!

Don’t get me wrong I did enjoy the RTX 3080 Ti but it suffer from quality testing which was the reason I return it.
Pro: Ran everything I throw at it in 4K max setting with RT and DLSS.
Runs cooler then 6900 XT Reference Model.
Cons: The price.
3080 TI fan was too loud under load while 6900 XT Reference model was quiet under load.
It suffer from heavy coil wine/buzzing under load while 6900 XT Reference does not.

4K Champion

This card is a beast! Seriously, it is easily 10-15% better than the 3080. Sure it costs $500 more than the FE 3080, but it delivers 3090 performance in a smaller package at $300 less than the 3090. Realistically this is the actual "no holds barred" GPU for insanely powerful rigs.
Now it does have a few drawbacks. The primary one is cooling. You're running a 350 watt GPU through a 3080 cooling solution. My card gets to 80C core and 100C memory without adjusting the fan curve in normal gaming. The fans do run higher as well, often hitting 50% or higher. This little beast runs hot, and certainly benefits from a repaste.
But, this is also the 4K champion. Expect to run any game at good FPS. (Well Cyberpunk and Metro Exodus EE still need DLSS). If you're looking at this card, you had better have a 4k 120hz or higher monitor to take advantage of it's full potential. Don't skimp on the PSU either. If you OC this card it will pull over 400 watts.
Also it's just visually aesthetic. Coolest looking card by far in my opinion.

It’s a Beast! 4K Ultra 60fps+ with RTX on

Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve been wanting a GPU that can do Ray tracing at 4K 60fps high-ish settings, and what this is, is a 4K Ultra with ray tracing on in literally all games with the exception of cyber punk, which has performance issues regardless of hardware, but even cyberpunk performs really well. I play on my television so 4K ultra settings with VSYNC on has been the way.
This card is a beast in every way, but it’s incredibly expensive. If the GPU market wasn’t so messed I would have never looked at this GPU to begin with. Getting this 3080ti at the $1200 MSRP in this market was a significantly better deal than the RTX 3080 at scalped prices which saddens me to say. My wife was extremely lucky to get a GPU at all, and overall we are happy with it.
The story of how we obtained this:
My wife got up at 3am to go to Best Buy to get a 3080. When they passed out flyers she was second to last to pick, all that was left was a 3090 and a 3080ti, so she picked the 3080ti, which was good because I would t have let the 3090 I would have honestly sold it. That’s how close she was to not getting a GPU at all, if she got in line 2 minutes later, she would have left empty handed.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is an absolute powerhouse of a graphics card, delivering an exceptional gaming experience and pushing the boundaries of performance. With its 12GB GDDR6X VRAM, PCI Express 4.0 support, and stunning Titanium and Black design, this graphics card is a beast that stands out both visually and technically.

Great GPU. Pulls 350 watts so you better have at least an 850 watt power supply. I recommend a 1000 watt power supply. The card runs very hot to the touch. I would get some serious wind going to cool this beast. Performance is off the charts. 5 stars

The 3080Ti is an absolute beast of a gpu. It was super easy to install and looks great in the PC. Packaging was also exceptional. As for performance the 3080Ti leaves nothing to be desired, but it’s hard to justify the huge price increase over the 3080. If you can get it at MSRP it’s a steal.

I have not used it yet, but I am super excited to put it into my first PC. I almost settled for an EVGA 3070 ti for the price as a backup in case I didn't get a Founder's Edition. I initially went for the RTX 3080 because it is the best value for performance card but that sold out so I joined the queue for the 3080 ti and luckily got it. I got no sleep trying to predict when the next restock would be, but what I do know is that if you really want one and you work as hard as you can to get one, you will. Check out apps like HotStock and join discord servers to get updates and information on stocks. Keep trying. Don't give in to scalpers. Good luck to those who are hunting. It only took me one month to acquire, but I just had the right timing and took all the right measures. If I can do it, you can do it too! Don't give up!

An absolute monster of a card but the price is just as absolutely ridiculous. Literally the only reason I bought this is because the 3080s were already gone and I didn't want to leave empty-handed. The cooling on these FE cards definitely isn't as good as the aftermarket variants but a custom fan curve pretty well fixes that. I'd recommend this only if you can't find a normal 3080 anywhere or you genuinely don't care about the extra $500.
