RTX 3080 benchmark for gaming

The RTX 3080 is a high-end graphics card from Nvidia that was released in September 2020. It is based on the Ampere architecture and features 8,704 CUDA cores, 272 tensor cores, 68 ray tracing cores, and 10GB of GDDR6X memory. It is designed to deliver ultrafast 4K gaming and content creation performance.

• It supports 4K and 8K gaming with high settings and ray tracing, especially with DLSS enabled.
• It supports the new ATX 3.0 standard and PCIe Gen5 power connector for better stability and compatibility.
• It supports VR gaming and other advanced features of the Ampere architecture, such as Nvidia Reflex, Nvidia Broadcast, Nvidia Studio, and Nvidia Encoder.
• It has a fast 10GB of GDDR6X memory, which can handle high-resolution textures and large datasets.
• It has a sleek cooling system with a dual-axial fan design and a flow-through heatsink that covers the entire PCB.

• Great performance for 4K gaming, especially with ray tracing and DLSS enabled
• Similar or better performance than the RTX 2080 Ti or RTX 3070 Ti at a lower price
• Supports the new ATX 3.0 standard and PCIe Gen5 power connector for better stability and compatibility
• Supports VR gaming and other advanced features of the Ampere architecture, such as Nvidia Reflex, Nvidia Broadcast, Nvidia Studio, and Nvidia Encoder

• Expensive compared to the AMD RDNA2 cards and the Nvidia Ada Lovelace cards
• Only has 10GB of GDDR6X memory, which may limit future-proofing
• Requires a high-wattage power supply and may generate a lot of heat and noise
• Not widely available due to supply shortages and scalpers
