Nail-bitin' time to be buying GPUs, ain't it? Best Buy got this one to me in a week and a day after ordering, and had a better price than any of the major competitors online. First thing I did when I got it in was see how far I could overclock it - about +450 on the core when raising the voltage, resulting in up to 3300MHz gaming clocks, and an easy +2000mhz on the VRAM with the score going up repeatably the whole time (that is, not running into ECC issues, it just HAS that speed in it). Still running pretty cool, too, they really overbuilt the cooler on this gigantic card!
Next, I found a sweet spot undervolting it that retained the vast majority of performance gains but tightens up voltage to about 0.985V max. Manually adjusting the F/V curve has great results with this card, allowing you to That was good for anywhere from 50W-80W power draw reduction, and even cooler temperatures, while still staying above 24000 in 3DMark Port Royal (which was my target after OCing got me into the mid 24000s). I have attached a screenshot of all benchmarks run on my PC so you can see what I'm working with.
Please note, I work on audio with this PC, and I prioritize low noise from it. My 12900K processor in it is, as you can see from pics, air-cooled, and wattage limited to no more than 250W, with a temperature limit of no more than 90ºC (which is 10 degrees cooler than stock limits), which does result in slightly worse scores than other 12900K users who have water cooling and are pumping 300-400W into the same CPU.
The 5080 replaced an AMD 9070 XT, which topped out at about 19500 on Port Royal after overclocking. That card replaced a Ventus 3080 12GB, which with its restricted power delivery managed about 12K in the same benchmark when undervolted. As you can imagine, the 5080 has been an absolutely thunderous upgrade in gaming, allowing me to play games in 4K with RT on which I never was able to do before.

Used almost exclusively with MS Flight Simulator, I upgraded from an EVGA RTX 3090 and an i9-9900K system. I initially build a new system with an AMD 9800X3d CPU with my existing RTX 3090 card. I saw a huge improvement with the new CPU, but this new card really lets me nearly max out the settings on a 34" UHD monitor. You can see the size difference from the 3090, so you need a large case. It runs much cooler than the 3090 too. I wish it had more VRAM, but other than that, it's a great card if you get it at MSRP.

A lovely upgrade to my old RTX 3070 FE, this is a hulk of a card. Uses lots of slots and lots of power. After confirming it has the correct specs using GPU-Z, I ran it through a suite of tests using 3DMark and some of the games I was interested in using it - Cyperpunk 2077, Ready or Not, STALKER 2, and WH40K: Darktide. Raytracing capabilities are good, multi-frame generation works even if you get that "vaseline" on the screen effect when you crank it. It holds nice low temperatures both in Silent mode and in Power mode. At $1400 USD (what I purchased) I can not say it's worth it. However, I am happy with the purchase given my previous card, and the longer multi year warranty with Gigabyte gives me confidence. Just make sure you register the product with them within 30 days! I can safely recommend this product at $1000 if you were able to get a sale, or use gift cards, or something like that. If you were considering this, I'd more likely suggest an RTX 5070 Ti in the Nvidia family, or maybe an RX 9070XT from AMD.

I checked the temp using laser temp and it has an excellent cooling performance, it remains between 55 and 60 degrees in full load. Great benchmark with my current setup. Tried it on 5 different games. My friend has 4090 and the performance is almost equal. The ray tracing effect is amazing. The only thing that I will suggest is to add more RGB lighting effects.

I am in love with this card. I never see my card go above 65C, its super quiet. My AIO is louder. got a 2868 score in timespy 3d benchmarks out of the box, most 5080s get a 2400-2600 score. The octopus adapter it comes with stops voltage sag etc. Super worth it, but I did get a 10% discount off it. Wish it were a bit cheaper. but i am super happy with it.

This thing is a beast and to to mention how good it looks ,the RGB on the fans in probably one of the coolest things on this model, but make sure you have the clearance in your case for it since it's massive
Would definitely recommend when the price comes down a bit

As soon as I get a few more parts, I will build my new PC. I will be upgrading from a GEFORCE 1070, so i should see some speed improvement. I am not a gamer; I work with DAZ 3D, UHD graphics, other 3D software and I stream a lot of content. Price was a little high (a few hundred over MSRP), but it might be a while before we see the GPU's being offered at that price level.

Great graphics card and runs flawlessly. The card is mounted vertically and the power cable comes right out from the top. No issues with my case interfering. Seems to run cool under no load. The controller software lets you do some cool stuff with the LEDs so I have mine set to represent the temperature of the card, since I've been a little paranoid about them getting hot. The fans provide plenty of cooling so I can focus on gaming instead of keeping one eye on it.

This is easily the most expensive GPUs I've bought, but it runs like a dream. I can play almost any game in 2k and 4k with solid frames. I have full ROPs, not missing any. If you can afford this card you won't regret. Solid solid purchase.

The performance upgrade from 3080ti is highly noticeable and great for games 1440p like Cyberpunk 2077, Silent Hill 2, and STALKER 2. My only complaint is the high price, otherwise it's a great card for gaming.
