Community Reviews

This refurbished Zotac RTX 3080 deal is mainly attractive for strong 1440p gaming performance and, in some cases, lower power draw when undervolted. The card is described as faster than a non Super 4070 in raw performance, and the 3080 12GB class is praised for solid frame rates without needing the newest Nvidia features. The main drawbacks are the older architecture, the 90 day warranty, and confusion over the listing, since the linked specs appear to show 10GB rather than 12GB. The price also looks less compelling once shipping and tax are added.

Common Questions (5)

  • The 3080 12GB is described as slightly faster than a non-Super RTX 4070 in raster performance, but it is an older card without DLSS frame generation. With undervolting, it can run around 90-100 fps in BF6 at high settings at roughly 105-140W.

  • Refurbished Zotac cards can arrive looking brand new aside from missing retail packaging, with no dust and normal operation. Several prior purchases have also run for years without issues.

  • Yes, the refurb warranty is 90 days. That is shorter than a typical new-card warranty, but it is still considered better than buying a used GPU from random sellers.

  • The linked specs show a 3080 with 10GB VRAM, and the 12GB version appears to be out of stock. Check the product page carefully before buying if you specifically want the 12GB model.

  • The listed price is no longer especially low once shipping and tax are added, with one estimate putting it at about $371 total. That makes the value less compelling than the headline $317.99 suggests.

These prices are outrages. For a refurbished 3090 $839. 3080 $375. Everything is going up because of the memory and chip shortage.

Normal 3090 is $539.99 not bad deal for 24GB VRAM. But 90 Day Warranty isn't good.

3080 12gb is slightly faster than non super 4070? Those about $400+ so not bad. But old card and 90 warranty

I bought a refurbished 3060ti last year and it looked brand new other than no retail packaging; no dust ECT. Working perfectly to this day.

$539 for a 3090 is still expensive on my opinion unless you need the 24gb vram for rendering or Ai. I think $499 for a 5070 is still a better deal for gaming.

Decent price, but FYI only 90-days' warranty. Still better than buying used from randos.

Edited for clarity.

I'm sure these are hit and miss, but I've been running a zotac 1080TI refurb and a 3060 refurb as daily drivers with zero issues for several years now.

Decent price, but beware the 90-day-only warranty.
It still beats buying used. I've used zotac refurbished before. Several times. Never had a problem with any of them.

Of course... I was only pointing it out for would-be buyers. I edited it to sound less ominous.

You should note that the specifications on the link say that this is in fact a 3080 with 10GB of vRAM and not 12. The 12gb appears to be OOS.
