GIGABYTE GV-N308TAORUS M-12GD GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card

AORUS RTX 3080 Ti 12GB

The GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GV-N308TAORUS M-12GD is a refurbished graphics card built for 4K gaming and heavy creative workloads. It uses the NVIDIA Ampere architecture with 10240 CUDA cores and a 1770 MHz core clock. The 12GB GDDR6X frame buffer runs on a 384-bit bus at 19000 MHz effective. A WINDFORCE STACK cooler handles the 350W thermal design power in a 3.5-slot ATX form factor.

Upgrade path from 10GB 320-bit cards

Moving from a 10GB 320-bit RTX 3080 adds 2GB VRAM and a wider 384-bit memory interface, which helps at 4K and in memory-heavy content creation. The jump is worth it when your current 10GB buffer limits texture quality or causes stalls in rendering. You will need an 850W power supply and three 8-pin connectors to support the 350W board power. The card measures 319 mm long and occupies 3.5 slots, so case clearance must be checked.

High-refresh 4K gamers and creators

This card suits enthusiasts targeting high-refresh 4K gaming or GPU-accelerated workflows that benefit from 12GB VRAM and 384-bit bandwidth. It supports four simultaneous displays via two HDMI 2.1 ports, one HDMI 2.0 port and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, with a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320. Builders with smaller cases, lower-wattage power supplies or only two 8-pin cables should look at a 2-slot 10GB model instead.
