NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

NVIDIA · Ampere · RTX 30MSRP $699

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is NVIDIA’s high-end Ampere card aimed at 1440p high-refresh and casual 4K. It scores 83/100 on our 1440p gaming index. 10 GB of VRAM is tight for 4K but fine at 1080p / 1440p. Ray tracing works but expect to lean on upscaling for higher resolutions. Supports DLSS 2 for upscaling.
