I was so relaxed and sleepy that I didn't notice until 16 minutes in that the box is actually laying on a table and you're not holding it up in front of the camera.
Congrats on the graphics card! I recommended this unboxing so I’m getting a 5% extra satisfaction rate making it 205%. 100 for the amazing quality, 100 because you got one, and that extra 5 because you deserve it
I have probably already commented on this video but Ill do it again! Your channel has been a huge comfort to me in my times of family and school stress. Im truly grateful, thank you.
Finally patience pays off. Gratz Nick. Looking forward to whatever you create with it ! Thanks for the video, really relaxing and amazing to fell asleep to.
Was just watching your 4090 video. I wanted a video on the card I was getting. I then find this video at the top, lol. This video is going to be a good one
Glad to see you've finally got your 3080. I built my new rig in November with a 5900x, wanted a 3080 myself but couldn't find stock so I paid extra for a Founders Edition 3090 in December. Now even those are out of stock everywhere. Crazy times, but good to see gamers are actually receiving these now and not just scalping bots
Crazy times indeed, but yes, with patience and a bit of luck, it's still possible to get these cards! Grats on the 3090! I saw one sitting on a shelf at my local shop back in January, and I ALMOST bought, but I just couldn't justify the price.
@@theASMRnerd Yeah they are expensive cards, but the performance is extremely good I must admit. Compared to the 2070 super I had previously the performance difference is night and day. Plus I managed to make a good return on the sale of my 2070 super, so it didn't work out too badly for me in the end. Have fun with the 3080 👍
Wow this looks amazing, congrats man! Do you think you could do a video testing out games on highest settings using the card? That would be great if u have the time👍
Thanks! You'll be seeing a lot of gaming videos on highest settings over the next while, but I may also do a video showing off some cool leading-edge graphics tech in benchmarks like 3Dmark!
I just had to use your unboxing video to RMA my exact card that failed to post. Tried 3 different new power supplies, works with other cards but not this one. Keep this unpacking in mind. NE wants EVERYTHING in the box to be out back in as is or that is grounds to refuse a refund/ replacement. Everything....
Woooow. Ok, first of all I love your voice, thanks for the tingles. Second of all... I'm dying from jealousy! As a 3D artist the step from 3070 to 3080 is just too big to ignore. So I'm waiting a new release or good enough prebuilt system w bated breath. Hope you enjoy having it! Also... Did you make a video about your rig, because that would be AWESOME.
Hey you are one of my top ASMRtists. Mainly because I am a huge tech nerd. You make tech and asmr at the same time. Heaven on Earth. Have you ever thought about putting some of your content onto a platform like apple music. Gibi and Frivi do this and it makes consuming ASMR whislt studying way easier. Thankyou and keep making content
Thanks for your super kind words! I don't currently have any plans to upload my content to audio-only platforms like Apple Music or Spotify, because I think too much of it relies on having the visual component as well. It's something I'll consider for the future, though!
I was looking at building a PC for the first time at the start of the pandemic, then I realized I could buy an upgraded Alienware PC pre-built for me for nearly the same price as the graphics card in it was selling for 😂. And I was able to get the larger R8 case compared to the ones they do now so I have plenty of room if I want to swap things out in the future 😋
I heard, that the founders edition has bad pads on the dram, some people achieved 30deg C less on their ram by exchanging woth copper or thermal or arctic.
Yesss I can't wait to crank that bad boy to 4K and enjoy the eye candy! Amazing that we're talking about using a $1000 GPU to run D2 in 2021, but here we are 😂
Yes! I haven't actually tried it yet, because I have to update my BIOS and VBIOS to enable it, but I'll give it a shot soon. A lil extra performance is always welcome!
Hey, Nick! I got one of these a few months ago as well. Did you end up undervolting your card? I've kept mine at the factory OC, but I've been thinking about trying to undervolt it.
As someone that was trying to build my own PC, this was more of a taunt than asmr 😂. I did manage to find a beast prebuilt tho, so I’m good. I couldn’t watch your why gpu’s are so expensive video Bc it would make me depressed lol
It's a really difficult time to build a gaming PC, and I'm sorry if this came across as a flex. I'm just really excited about it! But if you have a vendor that allows you to backorder GPUs and are willing to wait about 6 months, you can probably get one too!
@@theASMRnerd oh definitely not my friend, I was being facetious given the market right now. I edited my comment as u were responding that I couldn’t watch your why gpu’s were so expensive vid Bc I was feeling the pain lol. Major congrats on your card. Found a beast prebuilt with a 2060 and a ryzen cpu without completely breaking the bank, so I’m stoked
My pleasure! Like I say in the video, I loved my ROG Strix 980, and after a brief switch to EVGA for my 2060, I wanted to switch back to ASUS. The build quality is hard to beat!
Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoy what I do! Hopefully you can pick up a few things from my videos, but they best way to learn this stuff is just watch tech channels and read tech websites! Eventually, you'll start to get a decent understanding :)
I only took a few pics because I was impatient to test out the card haha. But here they are. 2060 for reference: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509491005062381573/831335117980434452/20210407_013113.jpg 3080: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509491005062381573/831335118509047808/20210407_013754.jpg Fully installed! cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509491005062381573/831335118865039360/20210407_020509.jpg
So you are using a LG OLED 49 inches Display right? How is that working Out for you AS an PC Gamer. Im currently thinking about doing excactly that too but im afraid that the distance between me and the Monitor will be too small for PC gaming.😄 Is it allright?
Yes, I'm using the LG CX48 OLED for my PC display. It's working out great! It's definitely huge, but if I push it to the back of my desk and crank FOV up to the max in my games, it's not uncomfortable. My eyes sit about about a meter away, I'd say. It fills most of my view and having all the peripheral is quite immersive.
I was wonder how my rx 6800 was going to stick in the pc slot as well, these new cards are huge. but they work very, 1440p, 120fps for everything (except cyberpunk)
Was going to get the same card but couldn’t get my hands on it and eBay was to expensive so I went with a msi gaming trio 6800xt ended up paying 1200$ but the rtx 3080 was almost 2grand so I went with the cheaper option because I knew there would be more stock issues but anyway great video love the anti static bags you should make a video dedicated to those
Would love to get one, but these dang scalpers man 😩 I don't want to pay over $1,500 on a GPU that retails at $699. I can get a nice motorcycle, or a decent car with that money.
YOU GOT THE THICK BOI 😎👍!!! FINALLY!! NICE VID! ULTIMATE GEFORCE RTX 3080!! If this is a Thick Boi, imagine the BFGPU 3090!! 😅😂! Just ensure your CPU receives enough cooling as you have some hardcore stuff going on...
Yeah I can barely even imagine the immensity of the 3090! And you're right, it dumps a LOT of heat into the case, but I've done some stress testing and so far, so good!
A friend of mine had to send his 3080 back for warranty cuz the fans werent working. They sent him a 1660Ti as a temporary card cuz they couldn't send him a new one due to the shortages xD
Because he has a normal range of emotions and doesn’t get angry at potentially and probably a none issue. I can imagine you get angry every time your Mother buys the wrong cereal or Toilet paper.
It's a minor aesthetic blemish and it's on the side of the card that faces the motherboard, so it's not visible when installed. And considering how rare these cards are, I'm lucky to have one at all. I would only mind if it impacted functionality, which it doesn't, so I don't feel it's worth getting upset about. Life is too short to get mad about every little thing :)
Lol yah just throw this in the rest of our faces lol. But for real tho dude glad yo see that you got a bad ass set up in the biggest drought the pc world has ever seen
Well, to be fair, that 450W is the MAX allowed and only if you REALLY want to push it haha. If you leave things at stock, I believe it tops out closer to 320 W. Which is still a LOT, but not quite as crazy. I have a 750 W power supply, and it seems to be working happily so far!
The almighty card, what a beaut 😍
Isn't it though? I though most of the RTX 3080 designs this gen were pretty ugly, but I love the look of this one!
@@theASMRnerd i like single fan designs of 3060 for some reason lol
I can’t believe you had the patience to unbox it....
I wouldve ripped it out of the box in the shop lol
After waiting for many eons, you finally got it! LETS GOOOO
Hard to believe it's finally here!
I was so relaxed and sleepy that I didn't notice until 16 minutes in that the box is actually laying on a table and you're not holding it up in front of the camera.
LMAO yeah, the camera is looking down on my deskmat surface. There's no way I'd be able to hold the thing up for the entire video 😂
I got the 3080 TUF card but this looks a lot better. Good job on getting your card.
Thanks! The TUF is a great card too!
Perfect timing, just sat down to read and do some work..so excited to listen and watch this!
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it!
i have a love/hate relationship with this video.
I love the asmr
I hate you got the gpu that i want haha
Keep up the videos!
Haha thanks!
Wow I still remember watching the 980 unboxing when that came out! Crazy how far both your channel and GPU tech has come :)
Congrats on the graphics card! I recommended this unboxing so I’m getting a 5% extra satisfaction rate making it 205%. 100 for the amazing quality, 100 because you got one, and that extra 5 because you deserve it
Very kind of you haha, thanks! :D
I have probably already commented on this video but Ill do it again! Your channel has been a huge comfort to me in my times of family and school stress. Im truly grateful, thank you.
I appreciate that so much, thank you! If I can put in a bit of my time to help others, it's time well spent. I hope my content continues to help you!
Thank you for making all of these awesome videos! I really enjoy all the content you put out🍻
It's my pleasure, thank you for watching!
Glad ur still around making videos man. Congrats on the sick gaming rtx.
Appreciate it!
Been waiting for this for a while! I have the TUF 3080 and I love it!
ASUS makes quality cards, they're definitely some of the best this gen!
My exact graphics card, had her since December.
You will fall in love.
Finally patience pays off. Gratz Nick. Looking forward to whatever you create with it ! Thanks for the video, really relaxing and amazing to fell asleep to.
Thanks! I'm already super impressed with the performance, can't wait to record some gaming vids for you guys!
Finally only been waiting since the last vid now I have to watch the whole series again :)
I was about to go to sleep... came looking for copper and I found gold 😂
Yes guys, nobody give a damn.
Was just watching your 4090 video. I wanted a video on the card I was getting. I then find this video at the top, lol. This video is going to be a good one
Glad to see you've finally got your 3080.
I built my new rig in November with a 5900x, wanted a 3080 myself but couldn't find stock so I paid extra for a Founders Edition 3090 in December. Now even those are out of stock everywhere.
Crazy times, but good to see gamers are actually receiving these now and not just scalping bots
Crazy times indeed, but yes, with patience and a bit of luck, it's still possible to get these cards! Grats on the 3090! I saw one sitting on a shelf at my local shop back in January, and I ALMOST bought, but I just couldn't justify the price.
@@theASMRnerd Yeah they are expensive cards, but the performance is extremely good I must admit.
Compared to the 2070 super I had previously the performance difference is night and day.
Plus I managed to make a good return on the sale of my 2070 super, so it didn't work out too badly for me in the end.
Have fun with the 3080 👍
Been wanting this card for a while now. Looks amazing! Great vid
This channel has been amazing for years. Thx nick.
The beat asmr nerd there is💖💖💖
Awh thank you!! ♥
Thanks for showing all the peels! Couldn't figure out if the bottom of the card were peels or not
when did you- how did you- wha wha whaaaat??
Love your videos dude.
proud! have a pc gamer here in Argentina is soooo expensive, makes me sad!
That's rough, but I hope you can get the card of your dreams one day!
That's great Nick, Glad you could finally get your hands on it :)
Thanks! I'm glad too :D
Got a aorus xtreme 3080. It's a beast, no doubt the strix is aswell.
Beauty, hope you're enjoying it!
i can't wait till i can upgrade my graphics card! this is a beauty! congrats nick on the new card!
I hope you can do it sooner than you think! Thanks Hoshi :D
I have the 3090 version of this, mine is water cooled now. Water cooling of these cards is worth every penny, my 3090 never goes above 50c.
The ruler appears to be made of PCB, which is pretty cool.
Wow this looks amazing, congrats man! Do you think you could do a video testing out games on highest settings using the card? That would be great if u have the time👍
Thanks! You'll be seeing a lot of gaming videos on highest settings over the next while, but I may also do a video showing off some cool leading-edge graphics tech in benchmarks like 3Dmark!
Great pickup! The graphics card in my computer picked the worst time to die, hopefully I can land the 3070 soon.

Man......i love pcs
It's not miner's fault it's supply fault.
7:18 OC have highest power limit from asus 3080 cards. Good for overclocking.
I have no idea what anything in this video means, but I'm happy you're happy with your new GPU, mah dude!
Thanks!! I'm thinking I ought to make a "Introduction to Graphics Cards" video haha
@@theASMRnerd I would gladly watch it. Information *and* ASMR? Who would say no to it?

Yeah, the FE and even some AIB models have very sub-par VRAM cooling. This model is supposed to be good in that regard though!
Since the last video I have waited for this 👍🏻
Congratz on being able to get a diamond of a card especially during these times.
Thanks! I'm pretty hype about it :D
Now that is a thing of beauty!! Will come in handy for D2 Resurrected! 🤙🏻🔥
Yesss I can't wait to crank that bad boy to 4K and enjoy the eye candy! Amazing that we're talking about using a $1000 GPU to run D2 in 2021, but here we are 😂

I believe the little ruler is related to the plaque sent out in the Voyager mission or at least it seems highly inspired by it.

Honestly, the market is beyond ridiculous right now. It's gone right off the deep end.
"It might not light up" BOI! It's motherflippin' ROG... ofc it lights up :D

Me with my 500 w psu for my whole pc: 🧍🏼
Well, to be fair, that 450W is the MAX allowed and only if you REALLY want to push it haha. If you leave things at stock, I believe it tops out closer to 320 W. Which is still a LOT, but not quite as crazy. I have a 750 W power supply, and it seems to be working happily so far!
