Deal Details
Newegg has this deal for $150 for their shell shocker off with a promo code if you sign up for it. Card is 1450 before tax, after the 150 coupon it comes to $1300 plus tax. Its 1450-1500 at most retailers like BB and Amazon currently.

It's probably not a great deal but 150 off considering MSRP is 1450 currently (can't compare to the $1000 msrp at launch for the base cooler cards those days are long gone) isnt too bad I thought. I'm also reading impending gpu price hikes of 30% across the board, so may be a decent purchase. The cooler looks bigger than the Microcenter deal for the Gigabyte SFF 5080 so perhaps better cooling if you dont need a SFF card, that is also now 1200 at MC.

Thoughts?

I'm considering the Microcenter deal right now. Hard to justify 100 more for a bigger cooler when the reviews on the SFF say it runs pretty cool and quiet, but can't know for sure without testing both cards. Tough choice.

I'm placing this in a htpc that's already running a 7900xtx card hot and definitely needs a gpu with a big cooler and has the room. I just compared these two cards, and this is what Google's Ai gave me:

The GIGABYTE Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 OC (GV-N5080GAMING OC-16GD) has significantly better cooling and overclocking headroom than the Gigabyte WindForce SFF variant.
Power limit is 450w vs 360w

450W Power Target Ceiling: True manual overclocking relies heavily on power limits. GIGABYTE explicitly unlocked a 450W peak power slider into the Gaming OC's vbios, allowing you to feed the core voltage needed for stable 3.1+ GHz

The WindForce SFF is an engineering triumph for tiny ITX enclosures, To prevent thermal throttling in tight spaces, its maximum power ceiling is tightly capped.

I don't consider Gigabyte to be a top tier NVIDIA board partner. I heard they will look to deny as many RMAs as possible. Allegedly, they will find a speck of dust, deny the warranty claim and tell you to pound sand. My next card will either ASUS or MSI.

ASUS is awful when it comes to RMAs, had a laptop motherboard go bad, sent it in for repair, they sent it back with zero screws holding the insides together, so everything was just flopping around, refused to send me screws without mailing the whole thing back on my dime again. Also had 2 desktop mobos from ASUS go bad, only brand I have ever had issues with regarding PC components

They are all largely bad. Consumer hardware is essentially use and throw after 3 years. Asus customer support is offshored, and Ive had terrible experience with them for motherboard replacement, plus very hostile if you try to insist on a warranty replacement.

I had a expensive corsair water pump and they tried to deny the claim.

On some forum somebody mentioned that PNY had the best warranties.

I always bought EVGA. They were awesome, but stoppes selling NVIDIA GPU after the 3000 series. So who is good? I don't trust PNY or Zotac. Which one is best...

No one honestly lol, EVGA was it.

Small sample size but my Gigabyte 8800GT/560ti/1080ti and Zotac 970 were flawless and all still work to this day

Zotac seems to be good, I've purchased two 5090s and 1 5080 and they have held up really well so far (6 mo-1year timeframe but not used 24x7), but then time will tell. I have two MSI gtx 1080 in SLI but they haven't been used in 3-4 years, but still work. AMD 7000 series cards have held up well with constant use for 2 years. I also have socket 775 gigabyte motherboards (almost 18 years old now) with DRR2 ram that still work no issues, 3 Sapphire Radeon HD 6950/6970 cards that still work, after 18 years! So it's kind of luck of the draw. Like life I guess.

Also, this deal is dead now Newegg pulled the promo code.
