The RTX 3080 has seen a decent price drop from its MSRP amid the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB’s soft-launch.
Costing only $899, the ASUS ROG Strix Nvidia RTX 3080 V2 OC might be a competitive option for the 4060 Ti 16GB which, despite having more VRAM, won’t perform to the same scale.

The RTX 3080 is one of the best graphics cards you can pick up – partly due to the price for performance it offers. While you can pick up graphics cards with more VRAM easily now, many are yet to reach the same level of performance that the Ampere graphics card offers.
While it doesn’t have the same RT cores that a 40-series GPU might hold, the RTX 3080’s 1935MHz base clock speed coupled with 10GB VRAM makes this an extremely solid graphics card for anyone looking for 4K gaming at consistent, and playable, frame-rates.
Should you buy the RTX 3080 in 2023?
Powered by Ampere architecture, 2nd-Gen ray tracing cores, and 3rd-Gen tensor cores, the RTX 3080 offers up fantastic gaming performance at 4K. However, this does mean you’re going to need more than 750W power.
