Great card and great performance. It is definitely on the heavier side so a gpu bracket is a must. Don't know if it's the card or my board but it took quite a bit more pressure to go into motherboard than other cards in the past. I Upgraded from an asus rog stix 1070 ti and the performance is night and day.
Averaged around 120 fps maxed out ultra 1440p cyberpunk with 5900x.
Like the other reviews, if you are buying this card for the LCD screen then don't bother. RGB Fusion 2.0 is the most useless piece of software ever made. It does not work no matter what fix you try. So if you do get your hands on this card, just know you will be staring at a wobbling egg every time you look at your new graphics card.

The cooler on this card is the best of all the partner cards. The LCD screen is very nice, and helps further customize your build and displays system stats at the same time. I reached clock speeds over 2000MHz with just the base auto overclock features with only maxing out the power limit with afterburner. It has 3 displayport and 3 hdmi ports which is very nice as it gives you freedom to run whichever display cord setup you want. As far as I know the architecture does not support 6 screens at once, so just because there's 6 ports, it does not mean 6 displays. The problems with this card are the absolutely terrible control software from Gigabyte, it takes control of my corsair ram and have to force close it from task manager after making my changes to make it go back to iCUE. The GPU sag is REAL. It should really ship with something like the Lian-Li anti sag bracket by default as it will otherwise get worse over time and ruin your motherboard. If you plan on buying this card get that bracket before you install this GPU. This card is MASSIVE. About the same length as the gaming OC edition, but about 1" thicker. I had no issue fitting it in a 5000D case from corsair, but you might run into some clearance issues with smaller cases.

Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got this graphics card, but I must say I’m very happy with the results. Going from a 3060 and a solid 80-90 frames on COD Vanguard to a outstanding 150-160 FPS (both on Ultra), all I can say is wow!

Runs quietly and effortlessly. 10/10 if you can get your hands on it. Wasn’t in stock on the app I had to ask which to my surprise they had 2 aorus 3080 ti and a msi 3070 ti. Other card in my pics is my 2070 OC for comparison.

Extremely happy with the Aorus Master 3080ti. A couple things to pay attention to for prospective buyers
- The card is extremely large (Takes up 4 PCIE slots)
- Idle temps are a little high (Sits around 45C on idle, will only go to the 30s with maxed out fan curve)
- RGB Fusion is kind wonky ( The app didn’t work for me when installed. I had to open the app, put my computer to sleep while the app was still open, that fixed most issues +Reddit)
- Overclockable but not the highest available card (If you are going to overclock to beyond a basic level I would go with the ROG Strix 3080ti
Other then that I haven’t had any issues with the card. It’s a beast
I have it paired with the 5950x. Seems to be a great duo.

Awesome performance but it’s big and heavy so make sure you have enough space in your case. I’m using Corsair 4000D and I had to place my radiator on top.

We are ants living among giants. This device will change your life. I use to run on mediocre cards that could not even fathom the thought of this graphics card. I remember a time when I would run game at 1080p at 60 fps. Now I cut through the graphics of any game and my fps never drops. This card pulls lots of power and therefore runs hot. Nothing is hotter than this amazing card.

I bought it because it was an RTX 3080 TI, now after having a little bit more over than a week I’ve been having problems with it with screen tearing and even with it not displaying sometimes. But when it wants to work it works amazingly.

This review is with only 2 days of testing so take it for what it's worth. First testing it on Linux w/ kernel 5.4.0.77 and nvidia 470.57.02 and Windows with WHQL 471.41
Linux experience was flawless. I didn't even have to upgrade the kernel. I just went to driver manager installed the recommended 470 drivers and off to the races. In windows same ease. Booted to safe mode uninstalled previous nvidia drivers rebooted and installed new 471 drivers.
All testing was done with stock settings. No tweaking of any kind and room temp was 73 F (23 C). Monitors are both 1440p @ 144hz. One is pure gsync and one is gsync compatible and freesync.
First: 2 of my 3 display ports did not like my 10 foot display port cable. During gaming with gsync on it would blank out (black screen) for half a second multiple times per minute. Changing the cable to 6 foot cable cleared that up. And the middle display port seems to be ok with the 10 foot cable. To be fair the 10 foot cable is not the highest quality but my 1080ti never had a problem with it.
Second: This thing is louder than I like but it does a great job keeping the temps in check, so it's a trade off. And with as much headroom for the temps as it has I can slow the fan curve down if I want. The fan noise has not annoyed me yet....yet.
Third: It's a THICK boi. It blocked too many of my other pcie slots so I had to move it to the bottom pcie @ x8 instead of x16. I did not notice any performance loss sticking it in the bottom slot and going to x 8 slot.
Now lets get into the performance:
Idle power = 40 watts - board power
Full load = 355 watts - board power
"Natural" boost clock = 1965 mhz
Mem clock = 2374 mhz
GPU temp = 67c full load for 20 mins
GPU hot spot = 74c ""
Mem temp = 74c ""
FPS in a certain title (while not being cpu bottlenecked) went from 185 fps on my 1080ti to 280 fps on this beast with same settings etc.
However many times the cpu becomes the bottleneck so the real world gains are only about 38% increase. For example one title benchmark that has some cpu heavy areas I went from 109 fps on the 1080ti to 150 fps on the 3080ti. So pretty good.
The price and fan noise is why I took off a star. Oh and the RGB and LCD screen are worthless to me. But eh..maybe you'll be able to get it to work correctly. And there is no dual bios.
All in all... It's a great card. Not my first choice but I was fortunate to be able to grab it. Very happy with the temps... doesn't look like I'll have to repaste or repad it. Performance doesn't quite go with the hefty price, but I've always been 80 ti person. This should serve me well as I don't plan to upgrade to 4k anytime soon, and I don't even want to mess with the rumored power draw of the next gen cards rumored to be 450-500 watts. No thanks.

Fantastic card. It's fast, stays very cool, and runs pretty quiet. It's definitely pricey, but there's a gpu shortage so what can you do.
Also, unless you mount this card vertically, you really need a sag bracket or something prevent the card from sagging because this thing is thick and heavy.
The RGB Fusion 2.0 software could definitely use some work. It works ok to control the gpu's LCD screen, but it's not very good for the other leds. I use RGB Fusion to control the LCD screen and SignalRGB to control all other leds.
What I did to get the two programs working is that I loaded my custom gif to the LCD screen and then disabled RGB Fusion from starting on launch. Then I forced closed RGB Fusion inside task manager. After that, I opened Signal RGB and customized all my other leds. I also set SignalRGB to launch on startup. With this, I have the LCD screen playing a custom gif and I have SignalRGB controlling the other leds. The gpu remembers my custom gif/image/text without RGB Fusion running, even after restarting my pc.

First of all the videocard is massive and heavy, it does have a metal backplate so didn't sag on the motherboard. The only game l have played on it is Elden Ring, but it is locked at 60fps. I got a solid 60fps, I did try a little Cyberpunk 2077 got about 45fps at 4k with the quality dlss setting, probably have to wait for the generation of videocards to get 60fps. It ran 54c to 71c when playing games and was pretty quiet. The only issue I is with the fusion software, I had to uninstall corsair icue, geforce experience and the nvidia driver. I installed 2.0 fusion first,then the nvidia drivers,geforce experience and then lastly corsair icue. My 3080ti was finally recognized, now everything is working ok together. I only regret I bought it $200 over the list price, after waiting almost 2 years for a 3080 card I am happy with the purchase.

When you want max graphics with great frames without completely breaking the bank. Will easily last me another 5 years. Build quality is sturdy and aesthetics are top notch. Love the added led screen. You can put animated gifs its a nice touch. Make sure to have a window in your pc case to fully appreciate this card. Also double check the length to make sure you have enough clearance in your case.

Amazing card coming from a Founders Edition.Runs a lot cooler and quieter.I'm using a 38'' ultrawide so I went for a 3080ti to replace my 3080fe which I passed on to my son's pc.A little pricey but I love the look of this card so I didn't mind it.

Works great and cools great. You just need to get a GPU holder because of how MASSIVE the cooler is. Remember, too, it needs 3 8-pin VGA cables for power. Also, the program it uses to customize is absolutely garbage and unusable most of the time.

This is the best looking 3080ti I have encountered. Runs cooler than others I have been able to test as well, which means it is quiet while deliver best in class gaming performance. That LCD on the edge is a nice touch! The pics on the store websites don't highlight that feature. In fact, I didn't know about it until I powered it up!!
