Obviously the PCB isn't 40cm long, sorry about that, it's really 24cm. Not sure how I let that slip out!
Thats what i thought too
they should of added another pair of tyre tracks after you destroyed them last time
Power Consumption comparison ?
That's true professionalism. When Asus does great you say great thing about their product and when they suck you say that too. I expect nothing less from you. Great review! I didn't expect somewhat "conventional " cooler to work out so well. Only concern I have is long term price after initial month coz I heard rumors that Nvidia is giving some extra money to partners for sells of first month. But that could be completely false. Hey if availability gets good and price stay 700 that is not bad buy actually.
Although personally I'd still wait to see what AMD has to offer if I were to buy GPU this generation ( which I won't ).
Compensating for something? ;) You're not selling the info to a interested human counterpart. Great review as usual. Thanks for the content!
Finally an IO bracket that doesn't rust. Always had this issue with the computers I use in the shower
Same. Shower gpu rust is a real thing.
What do you mean shower? don't you just put it in the dishwasher and dry it in the oven afterwards?
Some humid countries IE Philippines has issues with this. I have first hand experience with this problem. Cables, connectors, leads etc getting corroded to the the constant high humidity.
I live along the Pacific ocean and corrosion is a real factor. However, I have noticed that it is far less of a problem if I leave my electronics on at all times. I guess the heat prevents any moisture from gathering.
All this said, I've never noticed any rust on any IO brackets.
304 steel - targeted to the US. I don't know if 'A2' would make a better label (its ISO name)
The best 3080 is...
.. THE ONE THAT'S ACTUALLY IN STOCK!
So then .. none of them are the best?
nvidia launching cards at 700$ and then manipulating the supply/demand a month or two later so they can sell the cards for 800$+ when they made good impressions, same how 2080ti was suppose to be 999 at launch but the realistic price was 1200-1300
actually pretty smart from them, hopefully this time around big navi brings some competition and price drops
@@gametests tf
@@ThunderingRoar Yeaaa this isn't a game of 4D chess by Nvidia. It's just scalpers and the rush for these new cards that will drive up prices like mad.
@@nap8187 yes it is. Moore's Law Is Dead channel called it out already. NVIDIA isn't buying more FE coolers. It's a bait and switch.
A good ASUS TUF design? 2020 bringing the surprises. :)
Yeah because its not an amd card. If it was you can bet your ass it would be broken again.
Must demand ASUS to improve their employee social distancing even further!
The 1660 cards are pretty good too.
@@bs_blackscout GTX 16 series cards are GPU cooler "easy mode" though. Being able to strap a small block of aluminium that can sink 120W to a GPU doesn't mean you know how to make a proper 300W cooler.
Dont jinx it
this is first time when TUF is not disappointment?
i think asus actually hates the bad press and trying hard not to release crap coolers. i mean the x570 tuf mobo is pretty decent for its price. unlike the x570 tomahawk its actually in stock constantly.
73%fan speed still sux. With aging those fans may become a nuisance.
@@dmytrotkachov6859 grab a strix. looks better anyway. i want 1080p high refresh so i might go with rdna 2 anyway. the cuda cores kinda choke out at 1080p. strix is the least gaudy design ive seen.
@@Joker-no1fz "just buy the more expensive one"
@@hermitcrack9091 i mean its just an opinion bro. the msi and evga ones look decent too.
I bought one from a miner for $300. Works well. I figured there is no a way a 4060 card can compete with this so I might as well get this.
How much power does ur card pull?
Ive noticed on my 10gb 3080 TUF Gaming OC, the stock power limit at 100% will draw 340w under load, upon increasing this to 110%, the max wattage should be 370w, just like the FE when the FE is raised to 115% power limit. Although my 3080 tuf, when raised, caps at 350w, and GPU Z tells me there is a power limit, the power limit % maxes out at around 103% by GPU Z and it doesnt consume the full 370w like the FE does, even though they are both 2 8 pin cards. This is really annoying and I expected a AIB card to draw the same or more than the FE. This is stopping me from achieving 2000mhz stable under load, its usually low 1900s because of this. I am on the latest V5 bios.
The damn bots bought every single GPU and put them up on ebay for 1500$.
Ruined the experience for everyone.
buy them and dont pay XD
I really hope no one buys them.
@@0Wayland someone on ebay already sold 50 on ebay for 1200
Mate that’s the retail price in Aus XD how do you think we feel?
@@scottbrown5048 Your dollars are worth less than American, but yeah, you still have to pay a fair bit over the "usual" price
These cards are impressive af. A 2080ti’s FPS avg is lower than the 3080’s 1% low. Really a crazy leap
Technically "the best" when it's the only one.
It's not the only one
@@morrockfly it's the only one he has besides the FE so...
when you're first and last place at same time lmao
Jayz2cents already reviewed the evga XC3 and this card seems better
@@SPIRIT-117 the XC3 is a 2 slot design obviously the Asus is going to perform better. I will be forced to buy the XC3 because it is the only card suitable for a small form factor build (aside from the FE version which will be next to impossible to find) but for people with standard ATX builds Asus is the better choice as it is even cheaper.
Looking to go for this for my next upgrade. Possibly the best Custom card. Amazing design, great thermals, very likeable and minimalist rgb on it. 10/10!
Thank you, Hardware Unboxed

@@MattJDylan I'm pretty good at English (good enough to teach others, but not a native speaker myself). But this line was really humbling. I need to practice more.
"Welcome back to how we're unboxed" this is a new one lol
I consider getting the TUF since its one of the few cards that fit into my Case
Very happy to see that the TUF line has finally gotten some attention ... it was always one to avoid in the past, and we obviously need as many viable options as we can get for this GPU.
great guide. cant wait for mine to come in next week!
Appreciate the long hours I'm sure you're pulling :)
Thanks man for saying this. A lot of people don't realize the hours Steve puts into his company.
About time they start to treat their TUF branding with more care. Back in the Sabertooth days TUF meant indestructible and high performant.
Was so disappointed to see them relegate this line to bottom of the barrel-line.
They were always bottom of the barrel, the old P67 and Z77 Sabertooth used less than optimal parts which they then hid under the plastic shield(Which btw didn't work). What's more the Z77 Sabertooth had a nasty tendency to fry your ram, or just die randomly.
Orcawhale the sabertooth boards all had 5 year warranties
@@MarshallSambell Which wasn't worth much, as it required you to send to directly to Asus, only to have them disqualify the warrenty due to some stain.
Asus RMA is pretty lackluster.
This is still a bottom end 3080
@@Orcawhale1 I remember that quite differently. A lot of their sabertooth boards were chart topping while being still cheaper than their other top tier boards. Better RAM OC capabilities, too.
I absolutely loved my
990FX R2.0. Best board I ever played with in terms of stability.
well, good to see asus has learned their lesson. consumer wins again.
Now about that inflated pricing...
Did you really think nvidia would sell their gpus for 700 usd? Hahahhaa the cooler alone on the reference design is like 200 bucks. You got played so they can sell their aib cards for way more.
That's more of a nvidia problem than a Asus problem tho. Every acceptable aid card is gonna cost a lot more than the msrp

@@DarkoPetreski no, not really. here in my country we're so used to inflated prices so that's nothing new to me.

All of a sudden the screenshot of the open backplate becomes exceedingly relevant.

@@bobdylan2843 me too, it's like playstation girl
Actually the EVGA FTW will perform just as well. And its very cheap in Australia from PLE
Is it really easier for some people to say “half a dozen” instead of “six”?
Said before will say it again. Best benchmark channel on UA-cam but it is still "Harbour Unboxed"...I like it that way though :D
If this is just the TUF model, just imagine what the STRIX model will be like! I’m excited 😆
Great job Steve, I am happy to see that you are able to provide an unbiased review as always.....(I mean because of your previous review of TUF branded cards....yet you still go in with an open mind and provide an unbiased review.) I was thinking this card would be a stinker, but your review helped change my mind and has made my purchase decision of FE vs TUF an easy one.
Great review! Thanks for digging into this. Looking forward to hearing about other cards.
This card exists thanks to competition, and all of the reviewer's efforts in recent years. How far things have come!
2 years later, I finally picked up this exact card to replace my ASUS RTX2060 Super "Advanced Evo" 😃 There was no way in hell I was playing ball with nVidia's appalling 40-series pricing, no way, no way. I found this 3080 TUF OC online for £525 and snapped it up.
Where were you able to find yours at that price? I only have found a few listings on ebay that looks promising.
@@DctrGizmo A local market online, called Finn :)
I got a gigabyte 3080 for $590 here in the US
@@SnapbackDouche Congratulations! It's still a juicy friggin' card that chews through everything :)
Just got mine for $620 (and that's in a country, where the prices are usually ~30% above the US MSRP). After skipping the 2000 series due to the shortage, it's a huge upgrade coming from a 1080ti.
Thanks for the noise numbers,that's what matters for me when it comes to the different models,throw me the noise numbers with the temp and fan speed on screen and I'll figure out the rest.
Great work!
What noise numbers? I can't find any in the video.. and I probably missed him saying the dB?
Great review! I just ordered this and cant wait to try it out!!
I'm looking forward to see some tests in UWQD resolution with 3080! I will be very, very gratefull if you do that 😊
I'm sorry for mi english. One of your's italian followers! 😘
You don't really need that as it is not too difficult to extrapolate. 3440x1440 has roughly 5 million pixels whereas 2560x1440 has about 3.5 million and 4k resolution has about 8 million. So you can expect performance gains in UWQHD to be better than those in QHD on average but not as good as the 4k gains. It will be closer to QHD.
This is how a proper review of GPU should be. Great work as usual.
Just picked this one up in store as it was the only model left, so I'm very happy that I lucked out with a good AIB model
You make really good videos. You should have more subscribers. Wish you good luck for the future!
Are those tire tracks an homage to that time you ran over a card?
They made it understated and classy but couldnt resist throwing in a "gamer" design element
15C lower temps compared Nvidia's cooler??? What the .... and it's only the TUF, so it's not even a high end aftermarket model. Now I wonder - did Nvidia overhype their "new" FE cooler design?
Online Gamer the FE edition push part of the hot air out of the case. This put all the hot air to the case. So smaller case benefit from FE... big or open case can manage this!
It's a bigger card and it has an extra fan. Plus the lower temperature doesn't achieve anything in terms of performance. It's good to see a lower temperature though and the TUF looks good, so it's certainly a good alternative to to the FE.
@@quintoblanco8746 yes it does....he even says in video up to 6% faster. What happens with nvidia cards is at a certain temperature like 48 or 50C they start dropping core clock by 15mhz every 5C. See here www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-founders-edition/39.html setting fixed GPU clock/volt on my 2080 if it doesn't stay below 45C-48C temp it starts to drop seems to depend on amount of voltage(max voltage will see it dropping the earliest) its going to keep the Core Clock it is fixed at. Lets say its 2040mhz while at 70C its going to be 1965mhz or 1980mhz. Obviously 2040mhz leads to more performance over 1965/1980mhz...Also thermal throttle clock 76C or getting pretty close to that 83 where it will forced GPU down to baseclock speed 63C ain't coming close to that.
@@resColts This is the factory overclocked version (which is slightly more expensive). A 4% to 6% difference in framerate is in line with a small overclock plus slightly better cooling. The FE with a more aggressive clock speed and a higher fan speed would get the same (almost negligible) increase in frame rate.
@@quintoblanco8746 regardless thermals affect performance
Your intro always makes love to my ears through my base heavy headset.
great review! short and sweet and thorough still.
Weird times we are living in these days.
Why ?
Riicho Bamin a tuf gaming product that is good in almost unheard of, this and the x570 mobo are the only exceptions I can think of
@@coolminer1231 okay. Thanks for the information man 👍🏻 !
@@coolminer1231 U got it!
Steve seems to be confusing the price of the OC model he has reviewed and the none OC model.
Can't wait until 2021 to actually be able to buy one.
@R M In the UK it was £40 more for the OC model a couple of hours ago but that has now increased to £90! Do they both have the same power limit? I've not seen that confirmed.
just flash the bios with oc bios. bam just saved you money.
@Cleru Zinek use nvflash and flash the bios.
@@Joker-no1fz Hopefully it will be that easy, all indications are that it will be, if even necessary. I've finally been able to place an order and at MSRP.
Great reviews Steve i like how you talk in dept about thermals i do have a question does the Founders card runs with 75% fan speed aswel or lower? i mean the Tuff gaming card might be running cooler but maybe is because they have the fan curve more agressive? would be nice to check up on that with your next review on the MSI TRIO!
I really appreciate the individual AIB card reviews you guys do, most other large channels don't bother with the partner cards!
Wasn't expecting AIB cards already! Awesome
24 hours NDA after the Founders Edition - that's what I heard yesterday.
Nevertheless, it's pretty quick this time around.

"Welcome back to how we´re unboxed..."
hot rod box!
Very very good review, always a pleasure watching you (: Keep up your very good work!!
I like that it uses 6 MLCCs instead of all POSCAPs. Good review. Sad that there isn't more headroom but that's been the case with a lot of the 3080s. I think driver optimization will probably open it up a little though.
So it’s ‘welcome to how we’re unboxing today’!
You goddamn right
It's not MSRP. It's $749.99 USD, the TUF non OC is MSRP.
Edit: MSI did the same thing with the Ventus.
Whats the difference between the OC version and the non OC version?
@@nevoy7076 the clock speeds. The OC version will hit and maintain higher clock speeds at the same power, temp, etc. The performance difference isn't usually worth the price but sometimes the OC versions are binned better or have slightly different coolers.
@@xelasoccer thanks for the reply, would you happen to know the performance difference between these two cards? I'm guessing not, but figured I'd ask
@@nevoy7076 minimal difference, not worth 50 bux certainly.
@@nevoy7076 small enough that it's not statistically significant. In a game that runs at 60fps or less it would usually be one or two fps difference high refresh would likely be less than five. That's based on what I've seen from a few different reviews and what the differences have been in the past as it's pretty much always been the same.
BOOM! nailed it... after studying the AIB 3080 models this was the one I decided to pre-order.
Accept I went for the stock speed TUF over the factory OC one reviewed here.
I just liked the look of the cooler break down as shown on the ASUS website.
Plus it has dual BIOS and 2 HDMI's all for same RRP as the Founders edition.
Everything just screamed good value to me. 😎
great review thanks guys!
THIS IS THE TUF GAMING OC AND IS NOT PRICED @ MSRP (that's the standard TUF Gaming card)
I realised that after i brought it, oh well
@@matthoggy.20 how were you able to buy one? They were sold out instantly :(
TUF GAMING OC seems like it's only $739 though, from what I can find. So only another $39, which is nothing when you're talking GPUs at this range.
White privileged male got lucky
Scott in Australia. These are insanely priced and there was no OC version
Hope you got a FTW3 review card from evga, that thing looks sexy. Looking forward to all the Ampere content on the way.

@@guthhalf5484 yeah so funny 😂
Ftw3 3080 is ridicoulusly bad looking. 2080ti was fat better
@@XnxxD he reviewed the XC3 not FTW
Thank you for the review. Any chance you will be doing the same for the MSI Gaming X Trio?
Hi Hardware Unboxed. Are you gonna review the Ventus 3x OC? Looks like everyone is doing the TUF, Gaming Trio and probably the Strix later.
I think the Ventus looks like a very nice card, so it would defenedly be interresting!
Managed to get the non OC variant. I assume I'll just be able to manually OC to the same spec as the out of box OC version?
Probably be lets be honest does it even matter? Better off with the cheaper non OC, it's the cooler and style that you buy for not the literally few frame difference in OC.
yeah very much probable
Already out of stock. Ebay listings for 200+ dollars over MSRP minimum. Ya love to see it.
Edit: was able to get my hands on a Zotac 3080 Trinity. Hope it's not trash, either way I pre-ordered it on amazon (partner cards come out tomorrow) so if it's bad I'll cancel the pre-order
Edit 2: techpowerup reviewed it, it's good. Also I'm guess Hardware Unboxed also have one since a lot of reviewers got the same gpus, I'm guessing they're releasing the reviews from the most to the least interesting, or maybe it's just random.
Please stop crying, I got 2 and going to sell it for double of the price because all you ppl are stupid.
Just give them $700 and and take the card by force 🤷🏻♂️

Quite relieved to see this video. I have a compact case which only fits up to 30cm GPUs and this was one of the few under that threshold. Had to get my order in yesterday without seeing a review first :/
Well done video! Only thing I couldn't find was the FPS meter during the gameplay segments. Best of luck!

Awesome to see improvement in build quality. Looking forward to the all the reviews and tests. Don't forget to sleep lol...
Getting mine tomorrow, this review was great! Not the OC version, though, but I've downloaded GPU Tweak II and will clock it to the same settings as the OC.

I hope this comes down to MSRP price in Australia in the next wave of stock!
Currently the TUF goes for $1399 instead of the MSRP of $1139 (so $260 AUD more)
It won't. Our pc stores are not interested being fair to the Aussie consumer
@@onyachamp It's actually the 1-2 remaining distributors that are running a monopoly/duopoly and not the retainers. Even back when I ran a PC business 10 years ago there was only 4 main distributors and they were charging me almost the same price as some of the retainers were selling for. I could only make 1-2% profit on parts to stay competitive.
There is just not much margin for the stores, it's the distributors that are ripping us off even before it makes it to the store.
@@3800S1 Thanks Tech.
I had no idea.
Certainly not Kosher is it.
Just looking to buy one right now in 2022 and guess what the price is still $1399
One thing not mentioned is that this OC version of the Tuf Gaming is not scheduled to become available until 24 Sept (per Paul's Hardware). I was able to snag one of these in the U.S. via a rare 3-hour preorder window at B&H on 11 September. I chose it because the only cards available for preorder were the two Asus Tuf Gaming versions. Your review makes me feel pretty lucky to have opted for this one. The only problems are that delivery will be postponed at least a week and I had to pay UD$799 for it. I thought that was MSRP, but I've learned from this review that it's a substantial markup from MSRP. That's certainly not a deal breaker for a card that runs 15° cooler than the FE
Awesome review. Sealed the deal for me, of course, when I can actually buy one.
"With lightning fast PCIe gen 4" - uh, we're going to need a comparison test between lightning, PCIe gen 3 and PCIe gen 4 please
lmao the URL has "PPCUDA" at the end of it
Was able to buy this so I’m excited to try it out & see how it runs!
Nice and thorough review as usual, thanks for sharing. Think, on balance, this is the one I will go for.
Turns out the TUF gaming one is one of the best ones due to those 6 chip things you can see from the backplate side, they are the more expensive ones. Other AIB's are using cheaper ones which are leading to crashes etc. Thank fuck I ordered TUF.
Stainless steel is just what I need, since I always take my GPU with me into the shower to clean it. ;)
Sorry if you already answered this but I couldn't find it - would you recommend the non-OC version of this card? I guess you may not have tested it, but from your experience with factory overclocked cards, is it really worth the extra money? Thanks!
good job bro i love this channel so so much
Out of stock is by design, I can guarntee the prices are going to infalte in october to match the Nvidia's margin demands.
yup
This is my first time trying to buy a gpu at launch. If this is their real practice then they lose me as a customer instantly.
Thought this was a bit tin foil hat, but after this launch and the complete lack of stick. I am starting to think this accurate. If come October even the cheapest 3080s have crept over £700 we will have our answer I suppose!
@@austinpowersfasjer its not like you have much choice, tho, at least if you want a high end gpu
apparently they're good for mining too so buy it up if you really want one
Outrageous!!! The only explanation for the lack of extra performance compared to the FE version is the lack of RGB !!! 🤭
They thought of it, but weren't given the green light.
Thanks for the video review. How do the Strix and TUF versions of the 3080 compare?
Thanks for the review, that card looks very interesting!
7:45
Did you just adjust the switch on the card from quiet to performance or did you increase power target here?
He doesn't say but it was most likely a manual overclock. The quiet modes are basically not considered in most review testing.
This Rtx 3080 is cost-effective from Asus. The strix is + beautiful and refined, but also + expensive.
this comment is a -
I have bought this one yesterday and I'm totally happy man!))
I assumed AIB models would use similar dual axle cooling system like FE, since it was one of the biggest feature for improved cooling in 3xxxx series
honestly the only channel i can watch for this stuff
the part that you may not be aware of with this card is that when you look at the backing plate view there is the 6 exposed gold chips sets exposed that control the power requirement. On the card are using all of the higher quality type.
The foundation model only has 2 sets of high quality and 4 of the cheaper type sets. I say this due to just finished watching on another tech website on youtube that stated that some of the manufacturers are using all of the cheaper sets to control the power requirement of their cards which is apparently leading to issues while overclocking
not just overclocking, legit if the card boost clocks it crashes, and it will boost by it self if it has the power and low enough heat, so this and the FE are pretty much the only working cards atm.
I spend last week inspecting every single aftermarket gpu on the market. I can safely say that Asus did an amazing job with this. Imo the best overall card in the market except the power limit which is saved for the top models.
Hey Steve, very nice video like always, but just one question, you showed us yesterday on the 3080 FE review, that the gpu reached 76C in F1 2020, and today you showed us the 3080 TUF reaching 62C in SOTR, why you tested diferent games, as far as i'm concerned some games run a hotter than some other games, if you are going to test SOTR for gpu thermals, pls test the FE model in SOTR as well, and as you did in 5700xt aib´s reviews, put a graph with all gpus tested at the same scenario, Thanks you and keep the great work.
I was stupid enough to spend hours this morning waiting outside of my local Best Buy...
They didn't have any 3080s - looks like this was a paper launch on Nvidia's part to create feelings of scarcity.
I'm convinced everyone who thinks this was a "paper launch" has no fucking clue what that term actually means.
or there was a really high demand.
@@Hotobu yep
@@Hotobu It does feel like a paper launch tho, the card going out of stock absolutely everywhere in an instant and people asking each other on the internet if they managed to buy one or not and the answer being a resounding no makes me feel like this is just some BS PR move by Nvidia.
Wow, fanboys attack anyone who criticizes their lord Jensen
The usual great quality which we are all used to with Hardware Unboxed and Steve!
I worked in industrial maintenance and maintained an anhydrous ammonia coolant system for the food oil storage. It is the most efficient coolant in the world. It cannot be used with copper but I would think it would be a better coolant solution if it could be adapted.
When you did your benchmarking was the BIOS set to Silent or Performance that resulted in 62C at 1900RPM fan speed? Very impressive either way. Also great job on the b-roll!
Damn they hiked the price. I got the same card for $1,050 directly from microcenter....these companies are playing games with us
Me waiting for 3060 or 3070: ...
Kxplxr I want to see a RTX 3050ti :D haha
Thanks HU! That 15 degrees cooler temp is definitely the result of your feedback with the last-gen TUF cards.
I ordered this very card. Happy to see it was a good choice. If I ever actually receive it, that's a very different story.
This seems like the best 3080 (so far) due to 2:29. TUF card being the only card (that i know of) that didn't cheap out on the capacitors. There has been many GPUs crashing and the reason is possibly due to AIB partners cheaping out on the capacitors and using SP-CAP instead of MLCC (which the TUF has every single transistor as MLCC)
Via Igors Lab
Completely Agree! So sad to see so many manufacturers go with the cheaper option then try and blame it on BS data, the Asus Card using all MLCC proves the issue is exactly what everyone says it is. It is the only card to reach 2GHZ stable.
Have you actually bought one? Because it looks to me like Reviewers got sent different cards to Consumer Grade models. Look at this - www.pbtech.co.nz/product/VGAAS33083/ASUS-TUF-OC-Geforce-RTX-3080-10GB-GDDR6X-PCIE-40-T
I think they got Sent a ROG STRIX Disguised as a TUF tbh.
@@kicknitoldskool Nah i've watched 10+ unboxings of the TUF (some just from a few days ago with not many views or subs) and not a single one has different capacitors. All of them had 6 MLCC.
Also i have ordered a TUF card but hasn't been shipped and i ordered it a week ago
@@Tooliar That's a good sign then. I will wait just to be safe, thanks
@@kicknitoldskool No problem. When i get my TUF card ill update this to confirm
Last time I was this early it was cool to have the 2080 ti
it was never cool to have a 2080 ti.
Solid review. Would a MSI B550 with Ryzen 5 3600 pair nicely with this Asus 3080 TUF card or suggest a better CPU to maximize gains. Thanks in advance. Cheers!!! 🤙🤙🤙
If the TUF runs cool, imagine the Strix
Yeah, running cool, excessively shiny and $150 more.
@@Ravenousjoe Sign me up!
@@Ravenousjoe If it's both cool and silent, let's go.
@@jordanmartinetti8224 haha, and don't get me wrong, I don't hate on Asus, I just don't understand how they always have one of the most expensive (outside of hybrid cooling) gpus, with often no more than mid range cooling and a bunch of shiny bits.
@@AngryChineseWoman the majority of eVGA and higher end MSI ones will be silent, cool, and cheaper. If you got the money, go for it, I have just never taken their strix series seriously .
I literally just bought this and now im watching the review!

"I literally just bought this..."" So you're the one who got the 1 available at launch. Congrats.
Sounds like you have your hands full of benchmarking to do, great video!
Ordered the aorus xtreme. Hope it doesnt take too long to ship, bc ordered it from the only retailer selling it here and they havent even gotten them yet
I wanna know if they are going to fit on my Fractal Meshify C =[
Good question I got the same case
@@Marco-pf3te Yeah for people with not so big cases are now on a research if the 3000 series will fit on their cases. 3090 will definitely not fit xD.
You might have to move a fan down but it should fit
@@dako91196 Yeah was thinking of removing the fan in the middle.
Specs say it's ~300mm, which will fit.
