More information from Gigabyte on 3080 Master

JamGeo · 24 Sep 2020 at 10:27

The gigabyte website has more information on the 3080 Master. None of the others have been updated yet. It shows info on the LCD and also that it includes a Dual Bios, it’s nice to be getting information about the cards now

If it's anything like their Master motherboards it should be pretty good.

Wish they renamed it to the "Gigabyte Renegade Master" has so much more flair to it lol

And 3090 performance or near as dam it, it's a heavily factory over clocked card thats had the PCB designed properly for the 3080 not the generic standard that is quite limited and a 4 slot cooler to go with the custom power draw

Queue position 9... Knowing the cards wont ship till at least week 1 of October at the earliest... Wishing my life away...

I’m in the same boat as you. What time did your order go through? Mine was 14:29 and the queue calculator seems to change my position up and down daily

haha yer my position moves daily too, Original order was 14:31 @Payment the website crashed, was 14:39 before payment went through.....
I'm looking forward to this card I honestly feel the extra £200 is smart money for the 3080's, it should be the fastest factory clocked card and @ 3090 performance and still £500 cheaper.
Not even fussed about the AMD as there are other features I want from Nvidia that AMD don't offer.

That is a nice looking card

yeah, I didn’t mind the cost. I had a 2080 Aorus Xtreme so I was expecting it to be higher than the £749 I think it originally was.
I like how they’ve mentioned that on the page it can be overclocked, as people have reported issues overclocking some of the other ones. With that being said, I’ll be using it to play Valorant, so I won’t be pushing it all the time

I need to stop myself looking at upgrading to the z490 Master mobo

Minato · 24 Sep 2020 at 11:18

Bit of a shame even the master only has 2x 8-pins.

Im running an Aorus X570 AORUS ELITE mb and really happy with it, got my 3800x hard clocked with a good undervolt to 4.6ghz across all core's, my 3080 is mostly to drive my Valve index, might finally be able to run it how it should be.

Saw a tear down on the OC Strix 3080 last night, that looks well made though the cooler is still last gens just a bit larger, when I saw that Aorus were taking time to deliver this card to market had a feeling it would be worth the wait, and I think we shall be very happy bunnies! Aorus 3080 xtream owners club inc

P.S. my 1200watt PSU doesn't seem such a daft idea anymore haha.

They are nice cards actually... Wondering whether to swap my Strix order to the Xtreme. If only I could see the future so I know which would ship first!

Agree though suspect the custom pcb and power delivery might give the Master the edge vs most other cards out there still.

There is a Facebook group where the lead Asus engineer posts most days, he said the OC Strix next week none OC to follow, not sure if the Master ships sooner than the xtream, as the Masters specs are locked (none for xtream yet) in but they only said on the Aorus live stream the xtream ships 'hopefully first week of October'.

However there is an asian holiday where they all shutdown right around now I think?

Katalyst · 24 Sep 2020 at 11:32

How exciting. Hopefully this means the masters are on their way in early October

Stu999 · 24 Sep 2020 at 11:41

I like this card. Probably between the Master and FE if I get a 3080.

I think OcUK has some type of RMA arrangement with Gigabyte? Remind me, does Gigabyte have UK RMA?

Yeah, I joined that group. I'm just not confident that I will see my card from the first initial shipment anyway. I am like 1000th in the 'unofficial' queue.
