MSI GEFORCE RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X OC 10GB GRAPHICS CARD Review

The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 is a beast as all 3080s are, but honestly super disappointed with it because it costs more than an Asus TUF and it is capped at 320 wats, and the performance is not as impressive as I had hopes at 4k. It's still great but don't buy it over other cards unless you have to, its loud as hell and hot as hell too. UPDATE: So while I was initially disappointed with the cards performance and thermals I have since found undervolting to be very effective, I have kept the clock speeds above what the stock card will normally boost to but dropped voltage by enough that my temps are a lot lower, performance has actually improved. So my point would be as stock this card leaves a lot to be desired compared to other MSI GeForce RTX 3080s, but when tweaking and if you don't mind undervolting or overclocking, it can really perform well. I like my MSI GeForce RTX 3080 a lot. It runs at around 76 degrees under full load and remains quiet as well. This is a really good gpu for things like editing videos (With my old 5700 xt the video preview would lag a lot but now it is perfectly fine.) Runs all my games at max settings with 200+ fps. The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 weaknesses of the product as of now is that it is sold out everywhere and practically impossible to get hold of. I got lucky to be able to purchase one for retail price.
