Pros: It go whoosh It go brrrrrrr It stronk
Cons: It cost many monies
Overall Review: Good card Hate scalpers They fix shipping issue now (i hope)
Pros: - Almost no coil whine at 100 percent load, running 90hz - 120hz at 4K resolutions with G-Sync. - Very little fan noise at 100 percent load, running 90hz - 120hz at 4K on "Silent" mode bios - Everything just "works," no fuss setting up, drivers worked immediately with my monitor, games, etc. - Tame RGB lighting and aesthetics, not too wild.
Cons: - Exorbitant price, but hey, I paid it, and so have others, so it is what it is. Unfortunately, a product is worth, in some instances, what people are willing to pay for it. - The card needs a GPU support, in my opinion, and does not come with one. It's heavy.
Overall Review: Overall I am pretty smitten with this graphics card. Newegg (or their algorithm) was so kind as to select me in the "shuffle," and so I felt lucky to get this at the price I did in the current GPU market. Newegg is essentially giving up potential profits they could have gathered, to honor a more fair pricing for their customers, and I won't forget that moving forward. Newegg has to compete in an environment with other major competitors, so I think this was a pretty classy move on their part. The 3080 TI is everything I wanted, it allows me to play every game I have tried with a truly good experience, usually at max settings, at 4K, often exceeding 60fps, and sometimes approaching 120fps. Paired with a G-sync monitor is the way to go. On games like Cyberpunk I am getting about 50 fps at max settings and the Gsync keeps it mostly smooth, and on games like Far Cry 5 I get about 110-120 fps on 4K max which keeps the action both crisp and smooth. Like nothing I have experienced before. 2K 60 fps with V-sync used to be the standard for me that I aimed for, and sometimes when a game was too much for my graphics card, I would just have to "save" the game for new hardware in the future because V-sync at 30 fps was unplayable to me. Coming from a 980 TI, this new setup is really worth it. Additionally I was concerned about coil whine, because it's kind of a gamble, and as much as I can garner, it's kind of up to the individual manufacturers (Gigabyte, MSI, etc.) on how to finally assemble a graphics card and coil whine is not a concern for some of them. I once owned a R9 290X that squealed like a pig, and it was truly unbearable. So I either got lucky with this 3080 TI, or Gigabyte is good at making graphics cards not squeal, I don't know, but all I can say is my unit does not have coil whine, and the fans are fairly quiet to boot. I couldn't be happier, which is nice when spending this much money. Coil whine is present, but not that bad running unregulated FPS during menus, etc. which is normal. It's possible that at 144HZ plus applications, coil whine could become an issue, but even this cards worst "whine" that I have heard, has been pretty tame. I run an almost silent air cooled setup, with a heavily vented computer case, so their is very little sound insulation as well with my configuration. If you're looking at this card, price versus performance has already gone out the window, so don't let the naysayer get you down. The law of diminishing returns governs a lot in this world of ours. Top end GPUs have never been a "good" buy (until you could resell them recently, I suppose). Buy with confidence, and if you are worried about price versus performance this is probably not the card to buy. If you want to play games now, like "Cyberpunk 2077" at max settings at 4K, this is one of the only cards that can do that at "playable" frame rates, which is also subjective...
Pros: Beautiful performance for modern price points.
Cons: Risky expensive purchase
Overall Review: It happened randomly. Suddenly the fans rev'd to full throttle and the screen froze. I restarted my computer and had no video output. Immediately put my 2080TI back in and went to process the return on Newegg. Good thing I didn't rush to sell the 2080TI Return process for sudden premature hardware failure is annoying--especially having slow boat ship it across country back to Cali, wait for Newegg to process the return, then have to wait for it to ship across country (again). Funny that the most expensive single computer part I've ever purchased had failed the fastest as well. I understand it's random and the luck of the draw, but the experience stings and makes me leary of buying from the Gigabyte brand in the future.

Pros: When working, the card seems to handle whatever you throw at it with ease. It keeps quiet and looks nice.
Cons: The issue is that the card died in just two months of light to moderate use. All new components in the PC. Just like many of the other comments, all was well when suddenly my fans jumped to max RPMs and my displays went black. After attempting nearly every suggestion I could find, I still had no luck in getting my computer to recognize the GPU. Extremely disappointing to have such an expensive component short out so rapidly. Of course, 2 months is just out of the Newegg return period, so I have to RMA the card through the manufacturer, and what I'm reading about GIGABYTE RMA support has me terrified. I hope the situation is rectified swiftly so that I can resume gaming as soon as possible.
Overall Review: I have no choice but to rate the card at only one egg. A component this expensive should not be dying in only 2 months of use. Reading around online, this problem seems to be a (too) common occurrence for this particular card. I can't in good faith recommend this card until I see a return from the RMA and do not encounter similar issues for an extended period. Until then, I might suggest looking at brands outside of GIGABYTE if you want stability and longevity.

Pros: Card runs well when it wants to
Cons: Have had to return card twice now due to the same issue. When computer reboots, fans will run at idle until ANY other program has been run. As soon as anything else runs, fans will eventually rev up like a jet engine and never go back to idle speed. Fans do not react to MSI Afterburner nor any other hardware monitoring program. If left running high intensity programs (Ex.: Mine happened during Valheim and FFXIV on high settings) the graphics card will eventually shut off - This requires a full reboot of the system to get it running again. Second crash happened outside of RMA for Newegg, so now will have to reach out to Gigabyte support and likely wait for a replacement.
Overall Review: If the card worked as advertised, it would be a great card. Having to return it twice is not a great track record however, and given the reviews I've seen, this is not an uncommon problem when it comes to this card.

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Will break on you. 100% sure. Give it a few months it will break.
Overall Review: This card keeps crashing on high volume gaming. You will play have fun and then bam black screen fans ramp up to 100%. I got my first one exchanged, was fine for 2-3 months and blam same thing happens to card #2. Now ABS computers will not change the second one and i'm still in my warranty until the end of the month. I told them i was willing to pay extra for a different model if they don't have this one anymore. They refused. So they wont honor the 1 year warranty. Very sketchy. I gave up i will RMA the card directly at Gigabyte. I bought a 3080ti from a different better brand and will try to sell the replacement from Gigabyte to get some on my money back, i need a card while it's over there. This card have been a major freaking headache and you should absolutely not buy it.,
Pros: Handles anything i through at it Ultra/Max settings on every game at 4k no problem Pair with a LG 48 or now 42 C1/C2 for an amazing 4k display.
Cons: This is my second card. 1st card took a dump with the most common issue everyone is having. Pop followed with a black screen with Max RPM fans. At the time i had no idea what it was. When i called Gigabyte even they recomended I should immediately to return it because it was a common issue. At this price point then ($1699) there shouldnt be any issues like this.
Overall Review: If you get this card my reccomendation would be to put int under heavy load immediatly to see if it is defective. Also get the warranty for added piece of mind.

Pros: -Quiet fans -Powerful
Cons: -Seems longevity isn't its strong suit, considering so many users reporting on the same issue as myself
Overall Review: I upgraded my GPU from a 970, its been long time coming, I upgraded several components, such as CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Hard Drives/SSD and my Peripherals all in making a more modern build. It all worked fine until now (almost 6 months in) when I started playing more graphics intensive games and suddenly no display. As many others have mentioned, it seems to rev up right before the crash, as I heard the same thing happen with mine. Seems to be a common occurrence with this card. I confirmed it was the GPU because everything loaded up fine the moment I put in my old 970 and it turned on just fine. It's unfortunate, but for such a steep price point, for it to just die within a 6 month period, I simply cannot recommend it.

Pros: Great card just wish it worked
Cons: It no boot.. and I had to return it after 3 months of saving for all the other parts of my pc I finally turn it on and nothing.. I unplugged the GPU and everything is fine a lot of testing and found it was DOA for my first GPU ever..
Overall Review: Wish it worked
Pros: Performance is great when you first buy it
Cons: It dies within a couple of weeks
Overall Review: I would recommend you not buy this, looks like some of the cards produced in or around Feb are defective and have been dying/burning out. Highly recommend you buy from a different manufacturer until this is sorted by Gigabyte
