EVGA FTW3 ULTRA GeForce RTX 3080 12G-P5-4877-KL graphics card

12GB GDDR6X 384-bit frame buffer

The EVGA FTW3 ULTRA GeForce RTX 3080 is a refurbished graphics card built for 4K gaming and creative workloads. It uses the NVIDIA Ampere architecture with 8960 CUDA cores and a 1800 MHz boost clock. The triple-fan cooler keeps the 350W TDP card running within thermal limits. A 750W power supply with three 8-pin connectors is required.

Upgrade from 10GB RTX 3080 models

Moving from a 10GB variant adds 2GB of VRAM and a wider 384-bit memory interface. The extra capacity helps when texture pools exceed 10GB in modern titles at 4K or when running heavy compute tasks. The jump is worth it if your current card hits VRAM limits before GPU limits.

12GB VRAM headroom for 4K and VR

The 12GB GDDR6X buffer at 19000 MHz effective clock comfortably handles 7680 x 4320 output and virtual reality workloads. Games with large texture packs or high-resolution texture mods stay within memory. Workloads needing more than 12GB will spill to system memory and lose performance.
