ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 12GB GDDR6X Video Card

Never thought I would get my hands on one of these bad boys. It may not be the TI , but this sure packs a punch more than what my previous 2070 super and 3070ti can muster. My desktop is now complete with everything Asus inside l, even my old sound card (ROG Xonar Phoebus Solo). My target is an Asus monitor.

This GPU is very good in terms of performance (high refresh rate and high resolution at 1440p on max settings). The package came out nicely and the presentation of the package is very good. In addition, DLSS and RTX features are greatly improved from the RTX 2000 series (I upgraded from a pre-built RTX 2070 Super to this GPU for maxed out settings at 165FPS in 1440p). The GPU's design is breathtaking and managed to fit in the pre-built Asus Strix ROG desktop that I own and does everything better than what the 2070 Super that I had in terms of performance to cooling. For performance, I ran Ready or Not at maxed settings with DLSS and Nvidia Reflex+boost and ran 224 FPS which is amazing and hopefully I would try run other games like Squad, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite, and Elden Ring. The only thing that holds it back is how this model should have been at launch with adding more VRAM than it's predecessor the RTX 2080/2080 Super, so that people have a reason to upgrade and have a better value than what Nvidia is doing and of course adding a little bit of more VRAM for the next generation of GPUs would help the value, which convinces people to upgrade. Of course the pricing is still not good, however Asus is doing price drops for this model and their rest of their lineup of GPUs and the shortage is beginning to end, so hopefully people will have a higher chance to purchase GPUs. Overall still amazing GPU and once more are available and the price starts to decrease more, get it. Even if the next generation of GPUs are coming out, if you have concerns will power requirements and still have a capable power-supply, this GPU is still an amazing option.

This gpu looks nice and is a great performer. It also runs very at much lower temps than other 3080 cards out there. Got lucky scoring this card and very happy I did. It's not cheap but it's well worth the money spent to get a quality gpu that will surely take me into the next 3 yrs of gaming.

I love this card and everything about it. Its a quite beast and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

My 3070 didn't last long thermal pads cam separated from heatsink Love my new card
