This is a crazy good deal. Basically a 3080TI for 2/3rds the cost.

Why? It's 3080, not 3080ti

It is because 3080Ti has just 2 or 3 fps increase over this

Newegg still doing their MIR scam? They are the only company still doing MIR mostly.

This a going to be tough.

Quote from Quaro

:

If you are just gaming, stick with the 12GB 3000 series 3080 and 3080 Ti. But if you need the 3090 w/24GB for creative or scientific work or AI this is an insane deal, and you probably aren't overclocking, so the hot memory on the back of the card isn't a big deal.

The MSI 3080 w/12GB rams are on sale right now on NEWEGG for $820 after MIR.
Or
This EVGA 3090 w/24GB rams for $1164 w/ associate code 31L0NVDI68NVSB4.

Good price but one of the worst cooling setups this gen (I had a 3070 version of this). I'd take the EVGA Best Buy deal for $809 over this

Newegg has been selling this model at this price with rebate + instant rebate all week. Since they haven't sold out, it just shows that people are sitting on their hands waiting for prices to fall further. I like that this is the 12gb version, but it's the lowest tier 3080 that doesn't OC well and has mediocre cooling. Good deal if you need one this instant and don't overclock. (keeping in mind ones that overclock can get an extra 7-10% FPS which gets you near the 3080 Ti performance.

I bought a 12 GB 3080 for $1050 a month ago and thought it was a deal. This price cratering is nuts! Great card, the 12 GB version is faster than the 10 GB 3080's, it's like half way between those and a 3080 Ti.

Good deal considering historical prices but I'm going to hold out for the 4000 series.

Sounds like all MSI series have similar RAM cooling issue if you do OC.

I have this card and the cooling is good, you just have to flash the cool bios (I think they call it performance) over the quiet bios, both available from MSI website as of the last time I checked a year and a half ago. Quiet one is alarmingly hot so I am not surprised to see these comments
