If only Nvidia could put half as much work into getting stock out to the world...
Wow! This is best RTX 3080 comparison review I've seen. Very well researched. You deserve my respect. Very helpful. Well done!
Much appreciated!
@@OTechnology rtx 3090 msi suprim x or aorus extreme?
@@wujekmatrix446 both are good, but msi suprim x is better
Now, I only cheese * EVGA VGA*🤗
@@scares3859 what’s your choose to 3080 ?
BTW, this is probably the most informative card comparison video I've ever seen. More so than some of the more popular tech channels. You get down to the point with no banter. I love it.
Personal Pick: "the WIDLEY AVAILABLE Asus TUF OC"
excuse me sir where are these widely available?
Only when in stock lol
@@OTechnology got that right :D
@@Dizz18 I don't know man i've had tuf oc, sold it. A strix oc right now and one gaming x trio and second msi went for my friend. No problem with rtx3080 stock. I don't understand all the complains, maybe we have better stock in finland. We need to wait few weeks though, a month max.
@@jaybee0507 any and all 3080s sell out within seconds to minutes in the US. Have since launch and continue to be out of stock. I’m still trying to get one
@@OTechnology so you wouldn’t recommend the ASUS 3080 TUF (non-OC)? The difference in performance between it and the OC variant is probably 5% and they both have identical cooling performance. Pay $50 extra for 5% more performance? Doesn’t sound very worth it for me tbh.
Imagine being able to choose between these cards!
On another note: Impressive work there!
Yeah, it is kind of like watching a video about which is the best private jet to buy.
@@brianh9358 im getting a parttime job just to get this lol
@@ywsyoutubesdad1527 what part time job pays for a private jet?
never limit yourself. You could struggle today and be king of Your city tomorrow. Stay positive and be open to opportunities.
@@brianh9358 the market is pretty good right now, definitely good time to buy
Avoid? Well, that is not an issue at all.
The amount of time and research put into this video is spectacular. Thank you very much for all the info! The only thing I would add to make it better is heat dissipation and or temps for the vram. Now that we know many cards have issues with thermal throttling on vram etc. My xc3 ultra gaming spikes over 100*C consistently while gaming. I have new thermal pads waiting just need to find time to swap them.
Thank you! For sure VRAM temps is important as we now know on the 3080 and 3090. But unfortunately there's not many reviewers that test VRAM temperature readings, so barely any info on that.
@@OTechnology can I ask you about LHR - does it even matter if the card with LHR or with not? I dont want to mine anything and need GC only for PC gaming.
Thanks so much for doing an amazing job in pulling together all that information !
Amazing the amount of work put into this. Highly appreciated. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
This was a great review, no useless banter, you got straight to the points, and you listed so many great metrics to grade these cards by. You really helped
Just bought a FTW3 Ultra. Very excited, thanks for all the time put into this video!
All these 3080 videos shall be classified as sci-fi videos, coz they are talking about imaginary items.
it is for poor people
That made me genuinely laugh.
I finally got one after waiting in the EVGA queue for 10 months
@Superfly29rr only one I wanted. They have great customer service. They gave me a brand new 1080 when those had thermal throttling issues.
lol
Promise delivered! Well done :)
Yes! Thank you!
Amazing research. Thanks!!!
Outstanding! Thank you for all the information you've gathered, evaluated, and shared.
thanks for the exhaustive work you've done ! in about a year, when all those card will be (I hope) available, I'll re-view it to remind me witch are the best for me. 👍👍
and here am I... shifted from a 3080 MSI Z trio to an Evga FTW3
Thank you for taking the time to put together this in-depth comparison video! As someone looking to get an rtx 3080 the choice on the market is quite overwhelming and this awesome vid has helped to filter out a lot of that.
Great job man and great video...really appreciate it
Thank you so much for all details
Great Video, I learned a lot. Thank You!
Looking forward for the RTX 3090 video. You're doing a great job helping people out with all this data on the cards.
As for everyone else, yes, most of these cards aren't available right now, but if there's one card you might be interested in buying that's available in your country, you can watch this video (or the other ones, depending on the GPU chipset) to see how this card performs in comparison.
I went with the first card I could get my hands on, which ended up being a ventus oc. I can see why it makes the c-tier here compared to other cards, but for me it works great, and according to hwinfo64 I am getting around 2030 MHz clock speed while gaming. And I didn't need to upgrade my PSU, so for me this was an added bonus over the other cards with higher power limit / overclocking potential. I did, however, decide to make some adjustments to the fan curve, to where it now runs closer to 63 degrees instead of 71 at stock settings, but with my particular setup the slightly extra fan noise is barely noticeable.
Even the best cards that can pump up to 500w are only getting MAYBE 5% higher FPS than a stock 3080 ventus. So while those cards are “better” it’s not worth the power and heat draw. Most people who buy those cards end up just undervolting them anyways.
Yea its not a terrible card for sure. Awesome you improved it!
This is the most helpful video. Thank you !!!
I opened the video maybe 20 times in 1 week. It turned into a guide for me, thanks for your effort.
I've got the 3080 Vision OC in my build, and damn the entire white theming, mixed with some rgb is astonishing. I would say it's the best for my scenario, but if I had decided to go with a black theme (Like everybody else), I would have gone with the AORUS EXTREME for sure.
Anyway man. Very good video! I enjoyed the entirety of it.
Keep it up!
EVGA>everything
as a owner of a EVGA FTW3 ULTRA i can confirm all the above. iv'e had this card since it first launched and it's just an absolute unit of a card. zero complaints and very quiet over all pefomance! 10/10 would buy again
i just bought one yesterday, ill put it in my pc on thursday
i am planning on getting this card at $750 myself.... what overclock settings do you recommend for it? (if you do that sort of thing)
@@godslayer6926 It's best to just look up other peoples profiles for overclocking but stock it's already very powerful, the card runs hotter than most because the fans don't automatically turn on till like 50-60c. It never gets above 70 on auto. I'd recommend setting up a fan curve at the very least just so you can idle at like 60.
@@godslayer6926 I keep it stock. I see absolutely zero reason to overlook it. It's just not needed
@@night7185 or undervolting 1800Mhz/812Mv with stock fan
that is an awesome overview. Thansk!
Could only find an ichill x4 in my area and I was genuinely worried about the performance, build quality etc but honestly, its been amazing. Very well cooled and moderately quiet card. The cooler design looks nice but feels very well built, rigid and dense. In an a/c room it sits at 65-68 degrees with almost 7 gigs of vram in use while I'm playing RDR2. Would recommend.
Is it working good Now 😢
I've seen the 3070 video and it helped with my purchase. Happy to see you're doing the same for the 3080. Thank you for amazing content!
Glad to help!
@@OTechnology same here. Got a Palit GameRock 3070 and it's great.
Only downside is that is is quite noisy when the fans ramp up.
If you could add the db their fans make it would be perfect to make the best choice.
Thanks for this! Very helpful in narrowing down exactly what to get for my next PC build!
I just ordered the evga ftw3 ultra as it was on sale for quite a bit, and seeing this video made my decision. Thanks!
Oh my god, you're the best. I've been looking for something comprehensive like this!!!
Glad I could be helpful!
This was really well done, hopefully we can get an update on some newer cards like Zotac's AMP Extreme Holo or ASUS Rog Strix LC
even the gaming z trio
Thanks for making these! Extraordinarily useful and appreciated.
You're very welcome!
Wow! you are the man! Excellent work!
I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos. The info regarding the 3070 and 3080 models is extremely helpful to compare and identify the offers that are actually worth the money. THANK YOU!
I wound up picking up the Zotac Amp Holo for 500 the other day. WANTED the FTW ultra, but for that price I am perfectly happy with the zotac.
This is definitely a decent work! Well done Man!
A Tremendous Effort! Well Done!
Really good. Only comment is a point of preference which I think is that the higher tier cards are pretty much pointless unless you want competitive overclocking or want to run them extra quiet. The clock gains from high power limits are minimal relative to the enormous wattage and increases in noise. Undevolting is the way to go with this gen imo. A nice rock steady 875@1950 mhz on my tuf uses about 270 Watts. Surely this is preferable to 400 wats for an extra 100mhz?
This video needs more views damn
Just ordered a tuf 3080 oc. Thanks for the information 👍
Thank you for compiling all these information into one. Really a time saver.
The amount of Information you put in this video, amazed me. WOW!
Thank you!
I just got my hands on 3070 TUF, none OC edition tough, still a beast! Rokcing it with i7 10700k and one pair patriot black steel ram 16gb @ 3,6k - zero issues or hiccups @ 1440p. I hope it will last as long as my 970 and i7 4790k did. (they are still good tough, just needed the upgrade for 2k and 144hz.
Lol Ur on 60hz 🤣
Very good video thanks !!
You're so in depth with your reviews, and the data is presented clearly. Thanks for this.
This is the best review of the 3080 I have seen so far. I'm looking for a 3080 and I already figured the Asus Strix OC and EVGA FTW Ultra Gaming would be the best choices and I'm glad to see my expectations were confirmed here.
Tuf for watt and degrees.
Thank you! As others have said, I will go with the first one that I can get my hands on. That said, people are blaming scalpers, and they ARE evil. BUT Microcenter near me right now has about 25 prebuilt computers in stock which all have some form of the 3080. My point is the manufacturers, in this case, Alienware and Powerspec may be hogging them up also.
Really, it's the people who buy from scalpers that are the problem. Of all the things people choose to boycott, scalping is something that could actually be killed instantly by not buying from them.
@@ClassicalPan i Know! I finally got a 3080XOC right from EVGA. Like before, but one year later, I got an email saying they had them, but with a difference: The year before that they were sold out as soon as I answered the mail This time, about 10 months ago, they had them in stock, and let you keep your place for about eight hours! IOW, mine was MSRP. NOW even Micro Center which I love has the 3090Ti for about $500 U.S.D. over cost, which really irritates me! LOL
@@Davethreshold Congrats! I just sold my RX 580 and some other components to save up for a 3080. Unfortunately, i may be waiting quite a while before I can do any real gaming again. The struggle is real!
I subscribed on this video. Thanks for your diligence
Great video, this took a lot of research and time!
I've had about four 3080's since release. In all honesty ventus was a disaster. I tried both V1 and V2 of gaming x trio and the V1 wasn't great. Both aorus master and xtreme did really, really well out of box. I havent tested a strix yet but In my personal opinion the giant rgb strip on it ruins the card. I like rgb but thats too much in one spot. Just like the word Suprim on the side of the Suprim x card ruins the look of the card. In my opinion that is. But honestly I think the Tuf and Gaming x trio look the best, the colorful card with the giant screen is cool but those 2 cards for me just look fantastic and will compliment any build. But performance wise, I think you nailed this. Can't wait to see what comes next. We just got 3080.. there will be new revisions coming soon.. like 3080ti.
On the 3080ti which GPU you recommend in the best out of the box category? For someone who doesnt plan on Overclocking or doing fancy cooling custom systems
Thank you for your work..I just yesterday managed after waiting a full year to pick up the Palit RTX 3080 Gaming Pro not that I had any choice as I was not willing to pay the outrageous prices for some of the other card...Very happy with it!
Excellent, this helped a lot deciding. Cheers!
Thank You - this helps me out

15 minutes in and I had to like the video. I've never seen such a comprehensive breakdown before. well done man!
I got the gigabyte vision oc...looks amazing
Same, it's a beaut
Nice I got __________ it looks pretty good
I have an EVGA FTW3 ULTRA RTX 3080. It's a fantastic card, I have had zero complaints with it. When using the 450watt BIOS with heavy gaming for 4+ hours the card is able to maintain a 2050mhz Core Clock with the GDDR6X VRAM at a little over 10000mhz. Even with a 420-450watt power draw for 4-5 hours I have never seen the card go above 73c. It is a perfect card to go with a 5900X.
Thanks for the info! That's definitely the benefit of a higher power limit.
I just got this card. Have not yet installed it. How badly do you think my water cooled 5600x will bottleneck the GPU?
@@23mcallister 4k and 1440p no bottleneck
Great review my guy !!
Such a good video, thanks for informing us!
I love these video's could you also make them for the new AMD cards?
Not like we have much of a choice to choose the models we want but I'm quite happy with the ROG Strix LC 6800 XT I picked up last month. According to Hardware Unboxed's review which I'd seen prior to finding the card the components and vrm's are quite good.
Still I'd love to see a video like this for RDNA 2 cards. Would be nice if possible.
Like the other guy said not as many AMD cards but I am making one soon!
Awesome video and great info. I actually have the TUF Gaming OC. I overclock core @90MHz, and memory @800MHz and play Cyberpunk for hours no problem. Temperature stays right around 60 degrees +/- 2 degrees, and fans stay pretty quiet at full load too.
Thank you for the info as well!
That's ridiculously good. Asus killed it this gen
@@66777jason I agree with that
I’m getting around 65 degrees Celsius on a 3090 playing Call of Duty Warzone. Are you using a 3080? Which card do you have?
@@andrewtuan-vietvu3313 yes 3080 Asus TUF Gaming OC, same as recommended in this video
I subbed, cause holy shit the research
Impressive job, it helped me a lot. THANK YOU!
Will this tier list translate exactly to the 3080ti's as well?
I really appreciate that you include the MSI SUPRIM X in the analysis, as it seems to be a completely ignored and underrated GPU in other benchmarks. But it seems it's one of the best cards indeed, with the difference that, at this moment, it is relatively cheaper than other overhyped cards (ejem... Rog Strix...).
Thanks dude for this video!

@@AlexDiaz-sf4qj it gets even worse
@@AlexDiaz-sf4qj So it will go from 0 to -1? Will they start disassembling cards now 😅

I’ll echo the other comments in saying wow. I didn’t understand half the technical jargon but definitely understood how you rated them because the message was clear and concise. Well done in putting this together. I’ll definitely use this data to choose my card. 👍
Great vid, tons of details and overall a real treat. Thank you sir
I was not trying to OC i was just trying to get whatever card that was in stock and ended up getting the evga ftw3 ultra hybrid card and now i feel like im losing out if i dont OC haha. it performs well and it never goes above 55 celsius. and hardly any noise but then again I have not overclocked at all haha.
Nice!! Ftw3's are one of the best cards out there!
@@1003drae Yup. Strix and FTW3 ultra are the best. Water cooled versions even better. You really have nothing to fear by overclocking the hybrids.
You definitely need to OC it lol. At least max the power limit on EVGA prescision. Will boost the speeds quite significantly.
After weeks of benchmarking and stress-testing my F5 key, I've finally been able to get the MSI RTX 3080 Suprim X for 1499,9€ from a legit shop (not eBay resellers).
