I specifically wanted this GPU, in order to use a vertically mounted EK "Special Edition" water block, in an elite class water cooled video editing, work station custom computer. I'll switch to an Nvidia RTX 4090 FE, if and when EK decides to offer the "Special Edition" water block for the 4090. The basic Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is what I would consider a decent, entry level beginner class graphics card. The 12GB version would be preferred. The 3080 cards are outdated, over priced and not a good value today. You're better off going with an RTX 4070 or 70Ti, when they are available, unless you have a special need for the Nvidia RTX 3080 FE Edition, as in my case.

The Card has performed well so far. I was quite disappointed when I received the card and it was almost completely caked in dust. There was little attempt to clean it, just wiped off the fans basically. Haven't seen any lack in performance yet but I haven't pushed the card at all.

I already have the Asus Tuf 3080 and both the EVGA FTW3 3080 and 3080ti. I can tell you the Strix 3080 is a cut above these two cards. Great temps. The Strix does draw more power than the Tuf. The Tuf version actually works quite well and has good thermals. The Strix is better but it also clocks higher and consumes 30 to 59 more watts. With the TUF and FTW3, I’ve had problems with paste pump-out. Just the design. Not sure if the Strix has the same problem, but so far the temps are great.

So overall decent.. could definitely tell its been in a mining rig for well over a year. Runs a little hot, not unusable though. Condition wasn't bad either, would almost have looked new with a good cleaning. Overall 4.3/5

I'm loving my 3080 FE, for the deal I got it at it's incredible compared to my old single fan 1070. A decent bit louder, but not obnoxious, and well worth the performance increase. 6/5 stars as far as I'm concerned. I run just about everything on Ultra/High at 144fps 2560x1440 with it.
