Nvidia's RTX 3080 is here. Dispatching today, Thursday, September seventeenth, at 6 am PT/2 pm BST, the RTX 3080 is the first Nvidia Ampere GPU to be delivered in 2020, and we've assembled all that you have to think about it, including what time it goes marked down, where you can get one, how much it will cost, and its specs and benchmark figures. Our full RTX 3080 survey isn't exactly prepared at this point – it needs more time in the benchmark broiler – yet I'll refresh this piece with more benchmark results when I can. 

Nvidia officially revealed the RTX 3080, alongside the RTX 3070 and RTX 3090 on September first during their RTX 3000 arrangement dispatch occasion, and we've at last arrived at its official delivery day. If you're tingling to get your hands on one, at that point prepare to click that purchase button at 6 am PT/2 pm BST, as that is the time it will go marked down as indicated by a tweet from US retailer Newegg. Beneath, you'll discover all that you have to think about where to purchase an RTX 3080, just as the amount it costs and what its specs are.

Outsider adaptations of the RTX 3080 cost generally a similar measure of cash, yet many will be more costly ones depending on the amount they've been industrial facility overclocked. 

Keep in mind, any individual who purchases an RTX 3080 between September seventeenth and October 29th will likewise get a free duplicate of Watch Dogs Legion and a year's membership to GeForce Now.

Where to buy an RTX 3080

The RTX 3080 goes marked down at 6 am PT/2 pm BST, and beneath we've assembled the same number of retailers as we can discover who is selling the RTX 3080. I'll be refreshing this rundown as and when more retailers come through, just as where you can locate the least expensive RTX 3080 costs. In the UK, you can get one from the accompanying retailers: 

Ebuyer, Scan, Overclockers UK, Currys PC World, CCL Online, Novatech, Aria PC

Meanwhile, in the US, RTX 3080 listings are now live at:

Newegg, B&H Photo, Best Buy

So far, the cheapest RTX 3080 graphics cards from third party manufacturers appear to be:

• MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ventus 3X OC – £649 -$676
• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Eagle OC – £649- $699
• Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity – £660 - $699

B&H Photo is likewise selling the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio for only $696 at the season of composing, arriving in a little under its standard $700.

RTX 3080 specs

Nvidia guarantees that the RTX 3080 is twice as quick as the active RTX 2080, and you can kind of observe why from its official specs. Nvidia hasn't delivered the entirety of the RTX 3080 specs presently, for example, the memory speed or memory data transmission, yet I've recorded the key specs they have declared underneath. It has more than twofold the number of CUDA centers as the RTX 2080, and it likewise has more memory, as well – 10GB of the quicker GDDR6X assortment as opposed to 8GB of ordinary GDDR6.

RTX 3080 specs

CUDA Cores: 8704

Base / Boost Clock: 1.44GHz / 1.71GHz

VRAM: 10GB GDDR6X

Memory Interface Width: 320-bit

Power: 320W

Recommended System Power: 750W

The RTX 3080 additionally accompanies second Gen beam following centers and third Gen Tensor centers for improved beam following and DLSS execution, and Nvidia guarantees this will be twice as quick as their past age on the RTX 3080 – albeit up until now, they've just delivered figures with consolidated beam following and DLSS execution as opposed to simply crude beam following paces. Subsequently, it's likely best to take this figure with a spot of salt until appropriate benchmarks begin to come through. 

This chart shows how Ampere's beam following execution thinks about Turing in general, however, the figures aren't especially helpful. 

Right now, the total of what we have is a couple of spilled benchmarks that have advanced on the web. The main yield originates from spilled Geekbench 4 Open CL results and the engineered Ashes Of The Singularity benchmark. The previous show the RTX 3080 scoring in the area of 464-470K, which is significantly higher than the RTX 2080 Ti's 340-370K scores. Concerning the AOTS benchmark results, the RTX 3080 supposedly, oversaw 88.3fps on the Crazy 4K preset, which is 2-3fps quicker than a portion of the RTX 2080 Ti cards tried by the leaker. 

For those after some legitimate released game benchmark results, a spilled benchmark video from Chinese site TecLab Bilibili gives the accompanying outcomes to give us an unpleasant thought of exactly how much quicker the RTX 3080 is contrasted with the RTX 2080 Super:

• Far Cry 5 – 4K, GPU maxed at 99% (throttling), 62% faster than RTX 2080 Super, 5GB video memory used
• Borderlands 3 – 4K, DX12, GPU maxed at 100% (throttling), 56% faster than RTX 2080 Super, 7.4GB video memory used
• Horizon Zero Dawn – 4K, GPU maxed at 99% (throttling), 76fps average, 9.9GB video memory used
• Assassin’s Creed Odyssey – 4K, GPU at 97%, 67fps average, 48% faster than RTX 2080 Super, 7GB video memory used
• Forza Horizon 4 – 4K, GPU at 97%, 143fps, 48% faster than RTX 2080 Super

The same video also details the RTX 3080’s DLSS performance on a handful of games, the results of which I’ve included below.

• Shadow of the Tomb Raider – 4K, DLSS ON GPU at 99% with 99fps, DLSS OFF GPU at 99% with 113fps, 7GB video memory used
• Control – 4K, DLSS on GPU at 99% with 101fps, DLSS OFF GPU at 99% with 59fps, 7.5GB video memory used
• Death Stranding – 4K, DLSS on GPU at 99% with 170fps, DLSS OFF GPU at 99% with 123fps, 5.1GB video memory used

As far as authentic crude execution benchmarks, this video contrasting the RTX 3080 with the RTX 2080 Ti in Doom Eternal is a serious engaging watch. Here, the game is running on max settings at a 4K goal, and you can see the RTX 3080 is very fit for running the game at well over 100fps contrasted with the RTX 2080 Ti's 80-90fps. 

Fate Eternal isn't the most requesting game on earth, as a matter of fact, however, it's as yet an unmistakable advance up from Nvidia's past leader designs card, which needs I remind you have cost well over a great since the time it came out toward the finish of 2018. Here's the place Nvidia see the RTX 3080 according to their past age illustrations cards, as well: 

You will, notwithstanding, need a beefier force flexibly than the past age to adapt to the RTX 3080's crude force. Though the RTX 2080 suggested a 650W force flexibly, Nvidia has expanded this to 750W for the RTX 3080. The Founders Edition of the RTX 3080 will likewise utilize Nvidia's new 12-pin power connector, yet fortunately, a connector for this will be remembered for the case. Outsider RTX 3080 cards, then again, will require a customary 2x 8-pin power connector. 

Those are the feature realities for the RTX 3080, and I'll be refreshing this article with more data as it opens up. Meanwhile, you can find out about our most loved GPUs in our gathering of the best illustrations cards, what games at present help beam following, and DLSS, just as discover all the best current designs card costs in our normally refreshed illustrations card bargains center point.
