Really powerful and runs cool

After doing some research I had to decide between the Asus TUF 5080 or the Gigabyte 5080 gaming OC. both at the sane price point , and I came to the conclusion that the Gigabyte offers more future proofing, in warranty and even for factory overclocking performance. this card has 4 years warranty, and a much dense bigger alluminum body as cooler compared to the Asus TUF. is true the asus has 5 monitors conectors, but you can only use 4 at the same time. the only concern I had was the server grade gel the Gigabyte is using on all their cards, but in my case it won't hurn anything because I'm not using a vertical adapter to run mine. So fas so good, I run Unreal engine Electric Dream like it was a RTX4090!! awesome performance!! I am very satified with its design and construction, aI only hear the fans when It's running some heavy task on it.feels like a tank and its heavy. my case almost didnt have the space!! the RBGs are not so vibrant as the more expensive ones, but this one sure makes the job!! And it actually looks more stylish than the Asus Tuf.

Great card! Abit expensive but worth of upgrade!

I'm upgrading from the 1080TI, and this was leaps away from what I was using. Even though the 1080TI was the G.O.A.T. at one time it was time to make that move. If your are going just 1440p, you could get away with the 5070TI. However if you want all the bells and whistle, without sacrificing anything. I would highly recommend the 5080.

This card runs extremely cool and quiet because of it's massive heat sink and 3 fans, overclocked to 3200mhz core and 1500mhz memory with a power increase to 125% and it's only reaching peak temps of 62°c! I'm knocking off 2 stars because of the crazy up charge though.
