EDIT: Turns out I couldn't enable resizable bar due to the old vBIOS, so if you're having the same problem, make sure to update to be able to use ReBar.

Just got an evga 3080 upgrading from a 2070. Didn't expect such a huge jump in performance but it's awesome

Thanks for review. I had Asus TUF 3080 with 10GB, it served me amazingly well on 3440*1440 monitor. Even when I upgraded to 4090, my trusty 3080 took an honorable place on display on my bookshelf in my living room. Eventually I sold it to one of my acquaintance for around 410 USD, good for him and good for me.

Cost . performance .. overclocking . mods to push further past it. the RTX 3080 10gb one of the best gpus of all time.

Remember guys, DLSS and FSR exists! RTX 3080 is a very solid card no hold on for atleast couple of years.

Great content bro, especially when you actually show live results instead excel sheets copy paste graphs like other youtubers love to do. Keep up the good work.

I planned in 2023 to buy a 3080 but i don't pay 400 bucks for used card or scalper prices.
paid 490 bucks for 4070 with 2 years warranty...happy af

Paid £700 for a brand new 3080 in late 2020 when they came out. Took months to arrive due to availability. But now I have had it 4 years, its still going strong and I feel no need to upgrade. Even £500 newer 4 series cards are seemingly no better. Seems more and more like a fantastic purchase seeing as even now in 2024 im playing most games on very high settings 1440p happily and feel no need to upgrade still. A lot of generations if you bought the high tier card you could feel regret by the time the next gen came out or by the time prices dipped, but that never seemed to happen with this card! If anything people were paying twice as much as I did for the same card months after I received mine and the next generation is not worth an upgrade to even 4 years later..

I have it 2nd hand for 2 years. Undervolted so it hovers around 200 to 220v under heavy loads. Lost 5% performance (aka 60 vs 63fps....) and gained 33% lower power and temps. Its a great card for 1440p high refresh rate gaming. Maxed out Doom eternal with RT at 180fps is still cool even in 2024.

RA Tech : not every 700 PSU is able to deliver 12-13 Amps via a single PCI-Ex cable to PWR this continuous 350 Watt GPU.

Buying used is good and the 3080 is a beast pf a card, but is a card that came during the Cryptomining boom, so i personally would avoid those used cards.

[alexberman]

I bought a used Aorus Xtreme 3080. Died after 5 months… wasted tons of money 😢 . Buying new from now on.

[ZackSNetwork]

I had a 3080 12gb EVGA FTW3 Ultra in my second PC. I ended up selling it and upgraded it to a RTX 4070 Super FE that paired amazingly with my 7800x3d. The 3080 in general is a very power hungry GPU. With my 7800x3d along with it I was pulling 560 watts of power. About 80 watts was from the 7800x3d. So that GPU was pushing almost 500watts if not power limited or undervolted.

[arcane]

I just bought used 3080 for 275$ (it usually goes for 300-400$ in my country)

[viveks]

I bought a used 3080 last month from microcenter with a 2 year 'money back' warranty. If it dies, i get 400$ to spend at microcenter

[TheRealTriteII]

I just ordered a brand new 3080 for $350

[chunk]

3080 and a 5800x3d amazing pair great performance.

[dinooxxtuga]

Your having a problem with stuttering in some games.
Idk why in God of War the frame time graph in my 3080 is completely smooth, yours has alot of spikes.

[javythebest]

I bet the 3080 is a beast, been using the 3070 and still do now in 2024 and it rocks, I'm sure the 3080 does way better.

[ATILAD]

I buy also used rx6700 10g for 115 usd and I super happy with it...
