RTX 3080 Mobile is… Complicated

Thanks to Gigabyte for sponsoring this video!

Nvidia's new RTX 3080 mobile GPU is the fastest you can get in a laptop, but Nvidia's marketing team hasn't made it easy for consumers to tell how fast each laptop will actually be.

Correction: The RTX 3080 mobile uses the GA104 die, the same as the desktop RTX 3070.

Companies not specifying power limit on the spec sheet this generation are just straight up misleading.

Revolutionary, Flagship selling point of these laptops : Being in stock

“Gigabyte cares about your house not burning down”

Wow that aged horribly

[tamparockout]

"Confusing for consumers who shop only by the numbers"

Exactly what they wanted.

[Secret_Takodachi]

"Gigabyte doesn't want to set your house on fire" aged poorly in the span of just a fee months lol
good luck Gigabyte 750w PSU owners that's the primary factor keeping your PC from exploding!

8:41 Graph is accidentally labeled as 4K instead of 1080p

A mobile GPU with that amount of power management trailing just ~25% behind desktop counterparts is some seriously impressive engineering.

*Linus makes a video*
Intel: "you're sponsored"

I swear in the UK we haven't got any AMD CPUs or RTX30XX from the start of January. There was already no stock buy but at least back logs were slow being filled. Now it seems straight up zero stock coming in
:(

linus looks like he has a huge piece of bubble gum on his head

This is why I like LTT. I feel like it takes a lot of integrity to go out of their way to explain this to help consumers. Their pro consumer mindset is what keeps them close to their fans and prevents them from becoming just another "Big Tech" channel.

Holy shit that gpu he pulled out is like two bricks stacked on each other jesus

[MikkoRantalainen]

I think they should bring the "M" suffix back when the mobile part isn't just undervolted and underclocked identical part. Calling this RTX 3080M and having performance between RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 would have been great. Calling this RTX 3080 while having totally different hardware than RTX 3080 is just lying. If they had RTX 3080M and RTX 3080 it would be obvious to everybody that those are NOT the same hardware.

Everyone else: hmm nice airplane!

Every pilot ever: THATS NOT A TBM 500

[clementealfessi]

Yes it is complicated, my wallet isn't infinite

[BearGriz]

Linus: "gigabyte cares about not burning down your house"

Steve enters the chat: "I'm not too sure about that...."

[idontknowwhatimdoing]

This was so complicated i decided to go finish my math quiz instead, it's easier.

[AyrenJagar]

Man, that OLED pops. Just side-by-side, that screen is amazing.

@3:03 "Gigabyte cares about your house not burning down." Oh how times have changed.😂😂😂
