3080 with lcd screen brands

AORUS - the premium gaming brand from GIGABYTE had launched a completely new series of RTX 30 graphics cards, including RTX 3090 Xtreme, RTX 3090 Master, RTX 3080 Xtreme, and RTX 3080 Master.

Besides excellent cooling and superior performance, LCD Edge View is another spotlight of AORUS RTX 30 series graphics cards. LCD Edge View is a small LCD located on the top of the graphics card. What could users do with this small LCD? Let’s find it out.

LCD Edge View is a LCD located on the graphics card, you can use it todisplay GPU info including temperature, usage, clock speed, fan speed, VRAM usage, VRAM clock and total card power. All this information can be shown one by one or just certain ones on the LCD.

Besides that, there are three different displaying styles available and users could choose their ideal one. However, not just GPU info but FPS (Frame Per Second) in the game or other application could be displayed through LCD Edge View.

The LCD Edge View can also show customized content including text, pictures or even short GIF animations.Users could input the preferred text to the LCD, also set the font size, bold or italic. It also supports multi-language so users could input whatever type of text they want.

About the picture, LCD Edge View allows users to upload a JPEG file to it and AORUS RGB Fusion software will let users choose which region of the picture should be shown. The support of short GIF animations is the most interesting part.

Users can upload a short animation in terms of GIF to be shown on the LCD so they can easily build up a graphics card with their own style. All of the customizations above can be done via AORUS RGB Fusion software.

There’s something more interesting with LCD Edge View: The little CHIBI.CHIBI is a little falcon digitally living in the LCD Edge View and will grow up as more time users spend with their graphics card. Users could always check their little CHIBI through the LCD Edge View and watch it eat, sleep or fly around, which is quite interactive and interesting.

In conclusion, LCD Edge View can display a series of useful GPU information, customized text, pictures, and animations, allowing users to build up the graphics card with their own style. Users can also have more interaction with their card via the little CHIBI, the exclusive little digital falcon living inside the LCD Edge View, which brings more fun while playing with the graphics card.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti was released to give gamers the levels of performance the beastly RTX 3090 brings but at a lower cost. Both this card and its younger brother the RTX 3080 are based on the ground-breaking Ampere architecture—featuring third-generation tensor cores and enhanced RT cores.

This GPU slots into NVIDIA’s RTX 3000 series line-up as an upgraded RTX 3080—with the card just lacking the insane VRAM capacities of the RTX 3090 when compared side-by-side. The stock card can deliver around 1.5x the performance of the previous gen’s RTX 2080 Ti and at a similar MSRP.

Our pick for the best RTX 3080 Ti graphics card is the ASUS ROG Strix OC. This card is one of the best performing RTX 3080 Ti’s on the market—with a great combination of clock speed, cooling and graphics horsepower.

With a boost clock of 1845 MHz, this card truly lives up to its OC name. The ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3080 Ti OC packs a monstrous 10240 CUDA Cores, and 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM.

Cooling this GPU is ASUS’s famous triple axial-tech fan design—configured for maximum air-cooling performance. ASUS has increased the surface area of this card with its 2.9-slot design to give even more thermal headroom. This is paired with a metal backplate for added protection and more cooling surface area.

So how does it perform? In the FP32 single-precision benchmark, the ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3080 Ti OC delivers a theoretical performance of 37.78 TFLOPS. For context, this is on par with some overclocked 3090s and actually beats the reference Founders Edition NVIDIA RTX 3090. Wow!

The ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3080 Ti OC is in many metrics the most powerful RTX 3080 Ti on the market. For those gamers wanting extreme performance, but don’t want to pay the extra few bucks for the RT 3090, the ASUS ROG STRIC OC is a tantalizing option.

Your first impression of this card will be its stunning boxy air cooler design—complete with addressable RGB lighting adorning the front façia. It’s called “MAX-Covered Cooling”, and it features two 115mm and one 100mm unique blade stack fans – with and alternate spinning for maximum cooling performance.

On the edge of the card, GIGABYTE has included an LCD monitor for graphics and display card information. Some may find LCDs on the side of GPUs a tad bit tacky, but it certainly can look cool when configured correctly.

Under the hood, this card is packing 10240 CUDA Cores and a graphics chip overclocked to 1830 MHz. As is standard with the RTX 3080 Ti, this card features 12GB of 384-bit GDDR6X VRAM.

In the FP32 single-precision benchmark, this card delivers a theoretical performance of 37.78 TFLOPS. Like the ROG STRIX, this is on par with some overclocked 3090s and actually beats the reference Founders Edition NVIDIA RTX 3090.

If you’re looking to save a few bucks, it’s worth looking at the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Trinity OC. ZOTAC’s cards are usually more affordable than other aftermarket graphics card manufacturers.

With a boost clock of 1695 MHz, and with a CUDA core count of 10240, you aren’t giving up that much performance. The ZOTAC Trinity OC is kitted out with an impressive triple-fan IceStorm 2.0 cooling configuration, along with Spectra 2.0 RGB lighting.

So how does this card perform? In the FP32 single-precision benchmark, the ZOTAC Trinity OC RTX 3080 Ti delivers a theoretical performance of 34.1 TFLOPS.

If you’re looking to save a few bucks but still need the memory and power of the RTX 3080 Ti chip, the ZOTAC Trinity OC is a fantastic choice. Or, if you want to save even more money, try checking out ZOTAC’s RTX 3080 or 3070 Ti options.

For those who are looking for maximum performance and prefer a watercooled AIO, the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 3080 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE is the GPU for you. For all intents and purposes, this is a watercooled version of our runner-up, the ordinary XTREME WATERFORCE.

GIGABYTE bill this card to be “the ideal way for PC enthusiasts to enjoy the benefits of water cooling without complicated installations”. The AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE’s 240mm AIO provides an all-round cooling solution as critical parts like GPU, VRAM and MOSFET are actively cooled to ensure system stability under high overclocks.

Packing in 10240 CUDA cores, and clocking in at a boost clock of 1770 MHz—this card delivers 36.52 TFLOPS. According to GPU Monkey, the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 3080 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE gives 114 FPS in the Battlefield 4K benchmark. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the average is 91 FPS at 4K.

Ultimately, the GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 3080 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE is the perfect option for anyone who is looking for an all-in-one liquid cooling solution for their high-end graphics card.

With the release of NVIDIA’s new RTX 4090 and with the impending release of the RTX 4080, the RTX 3080 Ti is probably not the best option right now for anyone with a large budget. However, if you can’t wait to get an RTX 4080 (preorders only started recently), and/or, the the RTX 3080 Ti comes down significantly in price, the RTX 3080 Ti is still worth considering.

The most visually appealing thing on this brand new NVIDIA RTX 3080 is arguably the new flip-up screen. It can be programmed to show practically anything you want, from the GPU performance right through to a customized video in GIF format!

Take a look at the video below by YouTube channel, Linus Tech Tips, on the brand newNVIDIA RTX 3080 Graphics Card GPU That Comes Standard With Its Own Flip-Up LCD Screen.

NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 has been in the market for quite some time. But it is still one of the better GPUs for 1440p or 4K gaming in terms of price to performance. It’s not as expensive or fast as the best RTX 3080 Ti, but it offers good performance at higher resolution. These past few weeks, prices of the RTX cards have been dropping. Do not buy an RTX 3080 card if it’s more than ~$900 USD. Some third-party (re)sellers are still pricing these cards high, avoid them. Just like the other GPUs, there are plenty of RTX 3080 variants from different AIC partners. But there is only a handful that can be considered the best of the best. Below are some of the best GeForce RTX 3080 available in the market.

UPDATE: We recently published our reviews of NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. We reviewed MSI’s RTX 4080 SUPRIM X and Zotac’s RTX 4080 Trinity OC graphics cards. Both cards perform similarly and are around 30% to 50% faster than the RTX 3080, depending on the title or scenario. While their performance is impressive, they are also significantly more expensive, ~70% more than the RTX 3080. Suppose you don’t want to spend north of $1,200 for an RTX 4080, I think the RTX 3080 is still a good choice.

For those who are uninitiated or not familiar with the graphics card in general; all of these RTX 3080 cards are powered by the same 8nm GPU on their PCB. The main difference will be on the clock speeds, cooling design/performance, the looks and aesthetics of the graphics card, power draw and connectors used.

The boost clock speed and the cooling performance are the two major factors that generally affect the performance of a graphics card. Higher the boost clock speed combined with better cooling design generally results in higher and faster performance. That’s why some cards perform better, even though they are technically the same “RTX 3080”.

Up next is the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming graphics card. Not only is this one of the best RTX 3080, but I think this is also one of the “sexiest” graphics cards in the current generation. Just look at those curves and that eye-catching redlining (lipstick) on the front and rear portion of the card.

The Asus TUF Gaming RTX 3080 graphics card offers the best balance of performance and style. This card can’t be considered an “entry-level” or the “budget variant” among Asus’ lineup. Asus has the RTX 30 Dual series and Turbo series (blower-style) that are typically cheaper. Both the Dual and Turbo series doesn’t have the best cooling solution either, which is crucial if you want to maximize the GPU’s performance.

Like the Asus ROG Strix variant, the TUF RTX 3080 also features a triple Axial-tech fan design with dual ball bearings. It doesn’t have any RGB-bling like the Strix. But there is a small RGB lighting on the rear-front-side for the TUF Gaming logo. Performance-wise, it is not that far from the ROG Strix as well; and the TUF variant offers the best value for money compared to the Strix 3080.

Since this is in alphabetical order, the first on the list is the Asus ROG STRIX RTX 3080 Gaming OC graphics card. Historically speaking, Asus’ ROG Strix graphics cards have been the more popular lineup from the company. It features a striking look with gamer-centric aesthetics and design. They do have other variants like the TUF and Dual graphics cards.

It features three axial-tech fans, and interestingly the center fan rotates in the opposite direction. Underneath the fans is a large aluminum heat spreader; with a 2.9-slot footprint. This is one big chunky graphics card if you ask me. Let’s not forget the RGB lighting on its front-side. Because what is a gaming graphics card without RGB? More RGB means more FPS (joke)!

The SUPRIM series is MSI’s flagship graphics card variant. It has a dual BIOS feature, enabling users to toggle between Gaming and Silent mode. But when I reviewed the RTX 3080 SUPRIM X, I found that it’s best to stick with the Gaming mode since the card runs silent even in this mode.

The MSI RTX 3080 SUPRIM X features an (almost) all-metal design. It is built with a TRI FROZR 2S cooling system that is slightly better than the Gaming X Trio’s cooler. The card itself is bigger and heavier compared to the Gaming X Trio. Not to mention its thermal power limit is a bit higher compared to most of the RTX 3080 in the market. This enables to card to boost higher and longer, resulting in a bit more (FPS) performance compared to other 3080 cards.

With the release of the RTX 30 series graphics card, Gigabyte is introducing an EAGLE variant aside from the usual Gaming OC graphics card. However, Gigabyte’s best component is usually not under Gigabyte branding. Their best is usually under the Aorus brand. And Gigabyte’s best RTX 3080 is the Aorus GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME 10G graphics card.

Gigabyte has not disclosed most of the specs of the Aorus RTX 3080 Xtreme yet. However, this is definitely one “thicc” graphics card; more or less a 3-slot card. It features a triple-fan design with the center fan spinning in the opposite direction. By the way, if I am not mistaken, Gigabyte is the first to implement an alternate spinning fan.

The Aorus RTX 3080 XTREME also has RGB lighting, but I think the most interesting part is its (OLED) display. There is a display at the rear-end side of the graphics card that shows the GPU’s current temperature. That’s definitely a good feature to have. Check out the video below.

MSI will be releasing a Gaming (X) Trio and Ventus variant for their first wave of RTX 3080 cards. Currently, the best RTX 3080 from MSI is the Gaming X Trio 10G model. And I think this could also be one of the fastest RTX 3080 in the market as well.

I previously wrote an article about the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming being the fastest, thanks to its 1800MHZ clock speed. However, when I checked the specifications of the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio 10G, it has a boost clock speed of 1815MHz. That’s just a tiny bit faster than EVGA’s. The only question is if the Gaming X Trio’s cooling design can sustain that speed.

The MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio features the company’s Tri Frozr 2 thermal system. It features three Torx Fan 4.0, precision-machined Core pipes, and wave-curved 2.0 fins for improved airflow dynamic that reduces noise. Note: The Gaming “Z” variant has a slightly higher clock speeds than the “X” variant.

Last but definitely not least is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics card. Unlike NVIDIA’s previous design, their Founders Edition cards or the reference card have significantly improved; especially the cooling capabilities.

By the way, the RTX 30 series Founders Edition is NOT a reference card. It features a custom-designed PCB and cooling solution. That’s why the unique V-shape PCB and the 12-pin PCIe power connector is exclusive to NVIDIA’s Founders Edition alone. So, be careful if you plan to water cool an RTX 3080; the GPU water block might not be compatible with the Founders Edition.

Despite having only two fans on the RTX 3080, NVIDIA has implemented a new flow-through design. And the card itself is mostly composed of aluminum fins that cool the GPU and other components. Now the RTX 3080 FE has a boost clock speed of 1710MHz. This is definitely not the fastest around. But why did I consider this as one of the best RTX 3080 graphics cards?

Which GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card is the best for you? What design or model do you like more? Or if you want something faster, you might want to check the best RTX 3080 Ti or go all in on the best RTX 3090 Ti graphics card.

The best gaming monitor we"ve tested is the Dell Alienware AW3423DW, which is easiest to buy directly through Dell"s website. It"s an excellent ultrawide gaming monitor that doesn"t have the highest resolution or refresh rate compared to other monitors. However, it"s known for its incredible motion handling and remarkable picture quality. It"s a QD-OLED display, so it combines the perfect black levels of OLEDs with the wide range of colors of quantum dot displays. Content looks amazing in dark rooms, and colors look vivid in HDR, but there are issues when using it in a bright room as the black levels raise, so it"s better to game with it in the dark. There are also some text clarity and color fringing problems; however, it doesn"t affect the overall picture quality in games.

Its OLED panel provides a near-instantaneous response time, resulting in an incredibly smooth motion without any blur trail behind fast-moving objects. It also has a 175Hz refresh rate that you can achieve over a DisplayPort connection from your PC. Lastly, it natively supports G-SYNC variable refresh rate (VRR) technology to reduce screen tearing, which is beneficial if you have an NVIDIA graphics card and want to take full advantage of it.

The TUF Gaming GeForce RTX™ 3080 has been stripped down and built back up to provide more robust power and cooling. A new all-metal shroud houses three powerful axial-tech fans that utilize durable dual ball fan bearings. Fan rotation has been optimized for reduced turbulence, and a stop mode brings all three fans to a halt at low temps. Beneath, independent heatsinks for the GPU and memory keep thermals under tight control. Additional features, including TUF components, Auto-Extreme Technology, a new GPU bracket, and a backplate vent make the TUF a proper powerhouse. For builders looking for a new “old faithful”, this card has your back.
