Wonderful Card

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2021

Let me preface this by saying it took me a few months to get this card. Please do not buy from scalpers that double the price. I was fortunate enough to finally get one for a little over $800.

With that said, this is a really nice card. It is replacing a 1080 Ti.

It is really large and supports three 8-pin power connectors. It is suggested you have at least a 750 WT power supply, but EVGA has a power supply calculator while actually suggested I only needed a 600WT power supply. I went with the 750 to be safe.

The card comes with a steel bracket to help prevent sagging. I did not install this, as I lay my PC on it's side in my entertainment center. But this is a very large and heavy card, so there will be some sag unless it is properly secured.

The LED lights are nice. There is a program you can download from EVGA to control the colors and pattern of lights.

Good luck on buying the card. Be patient and you will find one. I signed up to some twitter alert drops and was able to finally get one.

Great card, reseller is reasonable, EVGA is something else

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2021

The card is great and all, gouged price sure but hey what graphics card isn't? The thing that drives this into the floor for me is EVGA's software they have. I don't think they could've built a more limiting and close minded software if they tried. The graphics card isn't compatible with any other forms of software like iCue or AuraSync so you have to use EVGA's Precision X1 software to fine tune the cards looks and performance. Syncing timing for RGB effects is borderline impossible, and the slider inside the tuner is extremely sensitive and doesn't snap to anything so getting precise with the Precision X1 is extremely difficult.

This is my third EVGA FTW graphics card. I've had the 1070, 2070 Super and now this one. It's a strong card with superior build quality. Where the 2070 Super never touched 65 degrees in gaming, this has reached 71 degrees. While that's not very hot at all, it will warm a room easily. That's to be expected with a card this strong and with this many watts running through it. There's been no coil while and the card I received had black ends and not the infamous red "clown lips" as they've been referred to. I would purchase again. If you are going to get one of these, make sure you have good ventilation for it to dissipate heat. It runs everything well. I game at 1440p and with everything maxed out; even in more demanding titles like CyberPunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on. I haven't even overclocked it. I just don't see the need. With the framerates I get out of this, I'm sure it would handle 4K very well. One of the more superior 3080 cards available.

I've been playing Doom Eternal, Cyberpunk 2077 and other games with no problems. Went from a GTX 1080 to this card and glad I did. It's just a shame that you have to pay so much more than the manufacturer's price if you want it ASAP. Since I've bought the card I've noticed that the price has gone up and that tells me I probably would still be waiting as I write this review, if I would've purchased it directly from NVIDIA. An important fact, this card requires 3 power cables. Remember that. I went through some changes to put it mildly until I just went ahead and purchased a EVGA power supply that had all the cables I needed. I had the card for almost a month before I could use it. Secondly, its a big card. I have a midtower case and I got in there but you may have to move some cables around. Overall it's a monster of a card. Very capable.

Great performer

Hashes great. make some money after purchase. And good performer in games

Very power hungry, but easy to undervolt with no drop in framrate!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2021

This gpu was pretty easy to install. However, it was very thick. It takes up 3 pci spaces. Luckily, I don't really use that many, so it wasn't a deal breaker. I am a little worried that it is too heavy for my motherboard. My case can't mount the included support bracket.

An important note is that the gpu takes up a lot of power. It kept crashing on my 750 W power supply. It was easy to undervolt in MSI Afterburner which saved about 150 W. I haven't noticed any performance degradation from undervolting, so anyone with power issues should do it. I haven't used any of the overclocking features on this card, but I may in the future.

In regard to value for money, it is $109.99 over MSRP, so keep that in mind. For me, this was the only 3080 available, so I was willing to pay that much. For performance, it runs really well. I'd recommend looking at 3080 benchmarks if you are interested.

This GPU has its own gravity field

Pros:
- Seems to be the best bang for your buck on a 30 series card with focus on OC. Otherwise there are cheaper alternatives.
- EVGA warranty and customer service is well known, you can also purchase additional 3 years for $30.
- You can easily control the LED lights, so if it's not your thing you can turn it off or change it to something less flamboyant.

Cons:
- It's absolutely massive,
- and it's also a personal space heater for your office.
- You'll either need a case that works with the included EVGA support bracket, or something to support it, otherwise it will sag.
- I do have a bit of coil whine when playing games at high FPS, not sure if this will go away or not. It's sad for a card of this price.

Edit: a couple of months later and the coil whine has reduced significantly.

Great GPU, just one small issue

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2021

So far this GPU has been great. Love the RGB and how I can customize it. The only issue that I have had, which seems to be affecting some cards, is that my third fan speed throttles up and down at low temps. The other fans stay off or are at low RPMs, but the third fans constantly revs up and down, which is noisy and I feel would cause more wear on it. One thing that helps is setting this card to the OC mode which makes the fan stay at a set speed. Other than the fan issue, which is hopefully something that can be fixed with firmware updates, this is a beast of a card.

Beautiful, extremely fast card. Worth the mark up if you were willing to buy a 2080ti

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not sure I should be giving it 5 stars as I grossly overpaid for this item but it did deliver in less than 24 hrs, it was fully sealed, brand new. It was also, according to the UPS label, sent out by another very large, reputable on-line electronics retailer. I guess this is how they sell products on the down low as to not garner the wrath of Nvidea. Still the price was only $100 more than I sold my 2080ti for so I’m not mad at it. Plus the card kicks absolute a** and is the most powerful 3080 on the market. It barely fit in my Lian Li x Bruer case, which is very wide, so beware. Throughly impressed by the performance of the card and delivery time.
