Type of review

The card was purchased from Ozon. Initially, for about a week, this video card did not give a signal via DisplayPort in the pcie x16 slot (the 1050TI video card worked in the same slot without problems), but at the same time it worked in the pcie x4 2.0 slot, which in practice terribly cut its performance, about 50%, and in some applications / games it's even worse. Already issued a return and was going to send it back to China, blaming the negligent seller, although by all indications the…

Pros
  • Out of the box performance/overclocking, over 2Ghz core boost, rev 2.0 good thermal pads from the factory, Quiet in a well ventilated case. Two bios: hybrid when the coolers do not rotate in idle mode and OC.
Cons
  • Lack of warranty service. That is, in general. I contacted Gigabnte's eSupport and this is what they told me: "We do not have a global warranty for video cards and our local distributors are only responsible for the goods they imported. If you placed an order in USA / China / Germany, etc. ( example), the warranty is provided by the retailer in USA/China/Germany, etc. As soon as you need warranty support, you need to send the product back to USA/China/Germany, etc.".

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Five years after the assembly of the top-end PC at that time, I realized that the assembly no longer drags games in 2K / high graphics settings and at least 60FPS. First of all, I changed my old 1070ti to 3080, which was facilitated by Black Friday with a discount on the card more than 10k. By inserting it on the old (or not so good, whatever) platform z370 with i7-8700K, the games began to go to the maximum and with good FPS. But I understood that 3080 is not fully revealed on the old platform

Pros
  • Quiet, heats up no more than 70`C, powerful
Cons
  • No, except perhaps a poor package compared to cards from other manufacturers, where there are wires and a card stand, which may come in handy for some, as the card is quite weighty.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

ated from 2060 to 3080, also Gigabyte. Compared to 2060, of course, the card is significantly larger, it fits into the midi tower Define C from Fractal design, but I had to remove one front fan, which I would not like of course. But despite this, I have not yet seen the temperature of the card above 74 degrees in games. At idle, the map is about 40 degrees. The monitor is 3840 * 1440 and games at this resolution are, of course, much better than 2060. In general, I was pleased with the ate…

Pros
  • Performance, cooling, temperatures
Cons
  • The price is a bit high, and on 112022 it was still raised above 80 although on 102022 it was 66. Dimensions - it already fits into the midi tower with some manipulations. Poor equipment, except for a card and waste paper, there is nothing

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

To sum up, the Gigabyte RTX 3080 (Gaming OC 10G) is a great future-proof graphics accelerator that has finally managed to be purchased in the wake of price reductions and the appearance of a sufficient number of offers from stores.

Pros
  • - Highest performance in all resolutions (up to 4k), - Quiet and extremely efficient cooling system (revision 2.0), you can't hear the video card in the case even under load, as if the fans are not working (although their speed reaches 2050 rpm), - Low temperatures (on a chip under load no higher than 70 degrees) even with a large CPU tower cooler installed close to the video card, which cools a rather hot 8-core Intel Core i7 processor, - support for all modern technologies from both Nvidia (DLSS, Ray Tracing) and AMD (FSR), - availability of all necessary ports, such as HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4
Cons
  • - currently unidentified

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

In the drain in my case (only three 120mm case fans), the maximum temperature reached 75 on the processor, and 85 on the memory chips. The hot spot is about 85-87 degrees. The card was tested in Cyberpunk, Heaven Benchmark (everything at maximum, 2k resolution) for a couple of hours. At this point, cooling starts to work much more actively. In general, these temperatures are working, because. and thermal pads in the second revision are more decent, they should not leak, you can not touch…

Pros
  • Good card for the money compared to others today. Perhaps it will become cheaper in a couple of months after the full release of the 4xxx series. With a cashback and a coupon, it turned out several thousand cheaper, so I'm satisfied, nevertheless, in 2022, for the same money, they bought 3060 just a few months ago, at best 3070. For playing Cyberpunk, RDR 2 at 2k with beams and maximum or near-maximum settings is fine.
Cons
  • 1) The package is poor, in the box there is only the card itself and a couple of pieces of paper, but these are trifles. 2) Despite the fact that this is an OC version, power limit cannot be set more than 100%. Although it is clear that factory overclocking is supposed to be. For me, this is a minor drawback, since there is no desire to overclock on my own. 3) Silent is difficult to call. Up to 40 degrees by default, the fans do not spin at all, on the way to 70 it is still noticeably audible, although my whole system itself is quite noisy, so it doesn’t matter

Many write that very high temperatures from memory and current thermal pads. I received a new revision of video cards. It has gray thermal pads installed, and there is also a thermal pad under the backplate. Temperatures are adequate. With a chip at 55 degrees, the memory temperature is about 85. The spread is really large, but this is the norm for GDDR6X memory. In older revisions, at the same core temperature, the memory already went into throttling at 110 degrees.

Pros
  • New thermal pads in a new revision.
Cons
  • Along with the new thermal pads, the card got a seal.

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

Compared to the previous 3060 ti video card, it’s much quieter, but of course the size is giant) I thought that it wouldn’t fit in the midi case at all, but I almost stood right next to the fan +, in a bagel at 2k 77s in AC Valhalla at 2k 60s, which strange because in the 3060 ti with the same settings it happened 70s, in normal mode sitting on the internet 36s with the turntables turned off, although everyone writes that this card is hotter, of course, you need to take into account the cooling

Pros
  • Quiet, acceptable temperatures, started up out of the box, no need to chemistry with voltage, price.
Cons
  • not yet

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I snatched a card in November for 56k, taking into account promotional codes and cashback. After a month with a little testing and use in games, I am very pleased with the purchase. Drags everything at maximum speeds in 2K without really straining. Rays in heavy games like Cyberpunk or badly optimized ones like The Witcher remasters, of course, squander it, but there is dlss for this case. I recommend purchasing a stand, the vidyakha is heavy and overall. Noise level is acceptable. Pretty hot…

Pros
  • Performance, in my case the price
Cons
  • Need a well-ventilated case

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

In 4k everything on ultra without dlss pulls cyberpunk. All other AAA games in 4k that I tried pull under a hundred or more fps. As for the cooler: at first I even doubted that it was working and removed the cover - look, because msi afterburner shows that it works, but there are no sounds even at night from it (at least against the background of very quiet low-speed hulls and processors). It doesn't interfere with sleep at all. The maximum I was able to heat up was 72 GPU and 84 memory - but…

Pros
  • Performance. Cooling system. Appearance.
Cons
  • Price. Dimensions and weight

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Replacing the thermal pads solved the problem of strong heating, the memory stopped warming up more than 90 degrees. EKWB seems to be planning to release a water block, but only for the second revision (sorry, I have the first one)

Pros
  • Quiet, at first glance cold - the temperature of the chip under load is no more than 70 degrees
Cons
  • The memory heats up to a temperature of more than 100 degrees. There are no normal fullcover water blocks.

Poor quality, not suitable for use.

Received defective. We didn’t mine, we were only engaged in video encoding, we played a couple of toys. Ceased at one fine moment 3 days after installation to display the picture on the screen. When you turn on the PC did not even start the POST procedure. There were no pictures from any port. We checked the power supply, another PSU, PCI-E slot - to no avail. After priority initialization of the integrated GPU at startup, the PC was able to boot into the OS. The video card was listed under a…

Pros
  • Performance for 4K toys, optimal power consumption.
Cons
  • - Price. Although it has fallen in price very much, relative to the mining period in 2022-2022, the price is biting at 63,000. - Dimensions. Not every case will fit, check before buying.

Excellent powerful video card with sound cooling. In stock in the furmark, a maximum of 75 degrees. After the undervolt, it was possible to reduce consumption by 95 W and max temperature to 60-65 degrees without loss of performance. In real conditions above 60 is not heated. Heavy, you need a backup, so as not to break the slot. Performance is just fire. For 2k and 2k plus on ultras - that's it. For 4 k is already not enough, it will be necessary to set the settings easier. Also pretty quiet…

Pros
  • Power, low noise
Cons
  • heavy

I bought Gigabyte with caution, but I was wrong, the best and most convenient CO if anything in terms of replacing the TP, a common plate for memory and a Chip, a card in stock with a maximum of 69g in games, memory 72-74 was even surprised, not expectedly not loud, lowered voltage on the 2022 core at 0.931 in Atomic Heart maximum 65g memory 68-72g GPU under 100% pulls it without problems PSU from fractal Addison m 750w gold which went 5 years) nom filling sisonik used to be set, Satisfied is…

  • No, in principle, I don’t install native software from giga)

Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

I own this video card for about 5-6 months, I took it for a promotion for 67. You can say it's a workhorse, I drive it to the fullest in games at a resolution of 3440 x 1440 with a 13900k percentage. Games pull on ultra at the same time, there are no problems at all. I just max out everything. Under load, the temperature does not exceed 73 degrees. In synthetics, it did not rise above 75. In terms of energy efficiency in the region of 250 W, if it works directly under load. I connected power to

Pros
  • productive Quiet
Cons
  • Did not reveal

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

This is Nvidia, with all its pluses. Before that, there was an amd rx 5700xt, there were problems with some games, I had to select drivers, and there were dances with downvolting. When connecting oculus quest 2 via air link, everything works stably, without encoding artifacts, at a constant bitrate of 200 mb/s. The helmet pulls at 90 hertz, without drawdowns, at an average temperature of 60-65 degrees.

Pros
  • Performance with a margin, normal thermal pads in this revision, stable drivers.
Cons
  • Price.

Some minuses and no pluses, do not buy.

gigabytes often have serious discounts in individual stores, but without a sharp difference in price, I would not buy gigabytes. Has pros: works the cooling system is quite quiet, even on 90% of coolers it is 2 times quieter, for example, solutions from zotac. 4 years warranty upon registration on the Gigi website. Has some cons: thermal pads on all gigabytes are terrible, they start to leak and dry out over time, so even with a normal game, the memory starts to warm up to 110 degrees and you…
