CG writes: We think for most people wanting a serious upgrade to their PC, then the 3080 is the card to go for, but ASUS has made a great card thats awfully quiet under-load and just feels right in our rig despite the high-cost. It may not look as snazzy as Nvidias Founders Edition version, but it does a fine job with its factory overclock. If you have the money, then we highly recommend this card for anyone serious about 4K gaming using max settings. Its a beast.
