Item#: N82E16814137677

Pros: Runs flawless out of the box. Runs cold for RTX cards, 38 C idle, 65-67 C full throttle Looks sleek AF despite the normally bulky designs of these cards Excellent price for the amazing performance Didn't need a support bracket, yet it comes with a pretty nice one made specifically for the card.

Cons: Takes 3 PCI-E cables instead of the normal 2. Had to doublecheck to make sure my PSU had the required sockets first. Truly massive. Had to make sure my case was big enough. MSI won't let iCue or other brand RGB software control the card. Refuse to have more than 1 RGB controller installed and running.

Overall Review: If you're looking for an amazing 3k series RTX card? This one's absolutely amazing. Nice middle-ground option, not cheap bull****, but not the fanciest of the fancy either. It runs cool right out of the box. MSI Afterburner will certainly help later, but at least for me, I didn't even have to fiddle with the fan settings. It did have to ship from China, which kinda sucked, as it was labeled as ships from United States, but it flipped it to China when I refreshed the page and didn't show it, so it took well over a week more than I had hoped for it to arrive. Still, it barely took 2 weeks. From China, in Covid season? That's pretty lit. I have no true cons to say about this card so far. Though I did just get it, I will edit my review as needed, should the situation change. If it's been a few months and you don't see me editing the review? Assume it's still running smoothly with no problems. All in all an amazing card. Victory to MSI, this one.

Pros: Easy to install Huge step up from the 20 series Can run off of a 750w PSU Allows really smooth performance up to 4k in some cases Great quality build Comes with instructions on both how to install it and how to overclock it Comes with a support bracket RGB lighting

Cons: Unless you count the hefty price, there's really not much to dislike about this card.

Overall Review: Easily the best graphics card I've ever owned. I went from running an RTX 2070 from my old pre-built computer to this card and lemme tell ya. The performance on higher quality settings is very noticeable. Not too power demanding but not too skimpy on the consumption. Not the very best but certainly amongst them. On top of it all, it's my first ever MSI product and it did not disappoint in the slightest. At the time of writing this review, I bought the card at a solid $899.99. Whether this price will change to higher or lower is to be seen but if you're wanting a 3080 at a fair price, I heavily believe this is the one for you if you're willing to spend a good amount of money for one. 5/5 Would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing price to performance ratio.

Pros: When it works, it gives great performance, its a nice card. It is what it is. Package showed up discreetly wrapped rather than in a box that screams this is a 3080.

Cons: It disconnects regularly from my monitor despite doing three fresh installs of windows, changing monitors, and changing all the cables. Recently its started running at half the FPS it was when I first got it and that was less than two months ago. I understand that itll be covered by MSI but its also going to be 30 days without a card that I payed over twice the original cost for.

Overall Review: I dont know if I just hit the bad luck lotto or if theres something about the cards being resold here but theres definitely something wrong which is unfortunate because Im so eager to love it.

Pros: - Amazing performance - Runs silent - Temps are decent (I think, I'm not a computer guru)

Cons: - Not really a con, but the card is BIG. Make sure you have the case to support this.

Overall Review: I was lucky enough to win this card in the Shuffle and pay MSRP. My current setup is: My case is a NZXT 510, i9 10900K OC to 5.1 with NZXT Kraken X63 Liquid Cooler, 32 GB RAM, M2 SSD and I'm pushing a LG C1 setup in ultrawide for Flight sims / Space games (custom setup of 3840 x 1620 @ 120Hz with 10 bpc color) and now the MSI 3080 running stock. My temps never get over 80C. I do keep MSI afterburner open with custom fan clicked.

Pros: - Gets the performance expected. - Quiet as hell out-of-box. - Solid build quality, doesn't feel like a cheap and flimsy product (looking at your 10-series cards, Gigabyte).

Cons: - VRAM gets much hotter than I'd like. Still within spec, but very hot. An aggressive fan curve helps this, but you trade off the out-of-box quietness. - Die temps are hotter than I'd like. Again, setting a more aggressive fan curve than the default helps. - Having to download MSI Center to get MSI Mystic Light is ridiculous. - Not a unique issue for MSI, but having to have several companies' lighting programs running at once is ridiculous. MSI not allowing this card to be accessed by Corsair iCue, or NZXT CAM, or ASUS Aura, or Gigabyte RGB Fusion, etc. is bunk. - Expensive model of 3080, especially considering it is an LHR card.

Overall Review: If you can get a 3080 right now, get it. If it happens to be this one, I don't think it's worth the added cost, but you would get out of it what you'd expect performance-wise. You'd be happy with it if you can afford it and can get it.

Pros: Super easy setup, easy to control through MSI Dragon Center, great look

Cons: A little pricey but you get what you pay for, and the support the bracket it comes with doesnt really support anything, so it wasnt used

Overall Review: This card is worth the price, definitely recommend getting one of these if the opportunity is there

Pros: Drives my Reverb G2 at 100% supersampling (3260x3100 per eye) above 60 Hz in games I've tested it on. Stays very cool- idles at 33-35 and is <70 after 2 hours of full usage.

Cons: Provided bracket to prevent sag is sadly needed and obstructs the LEDs (which I wasn't using anyways). I now need to buy a worthy monitor.

Overall Review: No complaints aside from price and availability.

Pros: - 4k Gaming ready when I want to upgrade my monitor - Maxes my FPS on 240hz monitor for competitive settings - Easy to install minus the 3 8-Pin connectors. - Quiet

Cons: - Not a 3090? - HUGE!

Overall Review: - 13/10 would recommend - Upgraded from MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8GB and couldn't be happier. - Have had zero issues with MSI products and this continues so far with this purchase.

Pros: - 3080 performance - quiet - high power limit

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: this gpu is a monster at anything you throw at it, can run any game i try to play at max settings with good fps.

Overall Review: If you can get it at or near MSRP, it's an amazing value!
