GPU is nice. Really white. Best buy gods blessed me.

Hard to get, but at least Best Buy has a little better way to do it. I also would never buy any other card if doing air cooling since the coolers on this are amazing. This specific one actually went to my buddy since he tried forever and couldn't get one and I was able to get one for him after about 3 weeks of trying.

I'm giving this 5 stars because it was the only 3080 available at the "original" MSRP when I purchased it, otherwise it would have been 4 stars. This card is very well designed and it cools impressively well for being a dual slot air cooled above-300W GPU. My main complaint surrounds the GDDR6X temperatures. I'm not mining or anything, just primarily gaming, and the VRAM tjunc temperatures regularly hit 105C in my 22C (72F) degree ambient room in a well ventilated case. Nvidia has claimed that these temperatures are well within spec for long term use, but Micron has been hesitant to release the datasheet for GDDR6X as quickly as they had for GDDR5, GDDR5X and GDDR6; all three of those previous VRAM iterations having 95C as their safe maximum temperature for long term use. I don't think this will severely impact the longevity for the average casual PC gamer, but I would be concerned with purchasing second-hand GDDR6X GPUs (3070 Ti, 3080, 3080 Ti, 3090) that were used for mining that don't have excellent VRAM cooling capabilities. Another great aspect to this GPU is its ability to undervolt. I was able to achieve an 1875MHz core clock at less than 900 millivolts (sub 0.9v). This brings power consumption down by around 65-75W under full load which reduces coil whine, fan noise, and temperatures while only losing maybe 1-3% performance. All and all this is a very well built GPU and I'm doubtful that this "deal" at MSRP for such a high quality reference version will last very long.

Great performance and great price. Only con is its so hard to get!

what is there to really say. best GPU hands down. nothing negative about it at all.

greatest card for the value! actually had to do the RMA process when I first got the card cause it was faulty and NVIDIA worked with me with no hassle!

Super fast GPU with nice thermals. Running with a i7 9700k on a 1440p 165hz viewsonic display. Runs every game at just about full graphics and great framerates.

great card and great looking. actually available at msrp through best buy.

1440P beast when paired with the right processor. Getting 100 FPS high settings on every game I play.

A couple months ago, I had the itch to build my first pc. At the time, I had only heard about the shortages about the GPU market. I was lucky to buy this one when it appeared on the 10th of June. So far, I have no complaints for this card in my first build. I can play any game on 1440p with high fps.

excellent product. I would recommend getting this for any PC. Cant go wrong and priced correctly.

Excellent when in stock. Great gpu sadly nividia probably wont be selling anymore. Becuase they want you to buy 3080ti for over price

Great card a huge performance increase from the last gen cards. Only downside is that's its difficult to buy

Works as described. Great upgrade. Upgraded from a 2060.

The Gigabyte Vision OC 3080 is a great card and a great overclocker after some modification. In games and while mining it was thermal throttling on the memory controller, rapidly hitting 110C. I opened it up and replaced the thermal pads over the memory and memory controller with Gelid 2mm pads. I also placed some 2.5mm pads between the memory and the backplate though I'm not sure how much those are actually contributing. The pads between the memory and the cooler are the most important ones. After this modification the memory controller never exceeds 82C and my in-game and mining overclocks are much more stable. It seems like Gigabyte cheaped out on this key component of the card but after adding another $20 to an $1100 card it really shines. If you manage to pick one of these up I can't recommend this modification enough even if you aren't planning on mining. Just in-game temps were causing thermal throttling out of the box. Also it is a chonky boi. Make sure it's going to fit in your case before you buy one. In addition to being a 2.5 slot card. it's large enough that it required I remove the extra hard drive cage from my Fractal Design Define R4 and it's almost as deep as a Noctua NH-D15.

FE card is always the best. The temp control and looking are always the best in the line ups.

Amazing card, gets the job done. Definitely get an FE if you can

What else can the reviews say? If you are able to get the 3070 for MSRP ($500), its a no brainer. It's better or on par with the 2080's, for a fraction of the price. You'll easily get 144FPS on high/ultra settings in 90% of titles. I use this with a Ryzen 5 3600 and they are an epic pair. Using a 1440p monitor, my games have never played or looked better. Highly recommend, at MSRP.

Hard to get but great for gaming. Recommended for buying

Probably the Best GPU for your buck.... If you can get it.
