Available and under the MSRP, the RTX 3080 Ti in custom Gigabyte

The right plan

Compared to the Founders Edition of Nvidiathis custom directly from home Gigabyte provides optimized cooling thanks to a massive radiator and 3 fans. Obviously, all the components of the card have been taken care of in order to make it more reliable and more resistant tooverclocking. With this cooler Windforce 3X custom, Gigabyte did not fail to add a small overclocking factory to boost the performance of this card. It also comes with a dual BIOSactivated by a switchallowing the choice, to opt for the OC profilefor maximum performance, or the Quiet profile, in order to reduce noise emissions. It thus passes from 1665MHz at 1710MHz. Long from 320mm and quite heavy Gigabyte therefore added a backplateserving to stiffen the assembly while making the card more aesthetic for those using a windowed case.

The chip GA102-225very close to that of the RTX-3090embark 10240 calculation units CUDA Cores as well as 320 Tensor Cores for the calculations ofAI as well as 80 RT Cores for the Ray Tracing. The VRAM is brought to 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 384 bit busenough to ensure a theoretical bandwidth of 912 GB/s. You will have understood it, the RTX 3080 Ti is a gaming graphics card cut to power all the latest games in 4K has a frame rate raised. Needless to say also that this graphics card will be perfect for playing in 1440p 144Hz and more. For those who are interested, the performances in Ray Tracing of this card are hallucinating and well helped by the DLSS of Nvidia which relies on theAI to ensure good performance.

While the shortage hit the market hard graphics cardsit was a real headache for the gamers to find a graphics card at a good price. In addition to being quite reasonably priced, this Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti Gaming OC falls to €1099.99 at the house of Grosbillwhich is cheaper than the price recommended by Nvidia for a Founders Edition. If you need a new GPUs in your PC gamingthis good plan should make you smile.
