GeForce RTX 3080

The GeForce RTX 3080 Innovation Difference

Nobody likes a warm PC or a whirring fan – the new RTX 3080 range has been designed to be ultra-quiet, without compromising on cooling or performance. The GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards are an upgrade on the RTX 3070, increasing the level of their cutting-edge performance. Specifically designed for gaming enthusiasts that do not want to compromise on performance. 

The GeForce RTX 3080 features a new, dual axial flow-through design that delivers the highest level of thermal performance without compromising on fan acoustics. This means more airflow, with less disruption with natural airflow in the chassis.

Superior Gaming Performance with GeForce RTX 3080

Forget lag – say hello to market-leading in-game performance with the NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). The AI Tensor Cores on the new range of GeForce RTX GPUs have been designed to increase gaming speed and performance without compromising on image quality.

These improvements add up to a new and improved gaming experience with superior optics and overall gaming experience. The NVIDIA DLSS utilises the power of the deep learning network to increase frame rates and generate stunning, uncompromised images in-game. Some of the biggest games on the planet including Fortnite and Cyberpunk 2077 already make use of DLSS technology that is found in the RTX 3080 range.

Ray Tracing Technology with the RTX 3080

Ray Tracing is the pinnacle of CPU graphics card capability in today’s technology. Ray Tracing technology changes the way that light moves through the game and simulates real world conditions to produce the most realistic and immersive gaming experience that has been designed specifically for enthusiasts and creators.

For creators and gamers, there is no other graphics cards on the market that stacks up to the ray tracing ability of the RTX 30 series.

Enjoy 8K HDR Gaming Performance

The GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card range enables you to capture, watch, and play in 8K HDR. That means four times the number of pixels as 4K and sixteen times as many pixels as traditional 1080P high definition. Add to that the amazing level of contrast that you receive, and you are looking at a new and unmatched level of gaming, watching, and creating capabilities. 

With the NVIDIA RTX 3080 range, you won’t need to worry about a separate or dedicated capture card. The RTX 30 series is equipped to let you capture the moment in stunning 8K HDR as you play. World leading technology means that you can also make the most of NVIDIA ShadowPlay to capture game play in 8K HDR video with the press of a hotkey.

Stream to Your Heart’s Content

Take centre stage with the GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card range. You can make the most of smooth, fast, and stutter-free live streaming like never before. The next-generation hardware encoding and decoding technology means that you can show off all of your best moments in stunning, realistic detail. What’s more, NVIDIA’s Broadcast App means that you can take your streams to the next level with AI capabilities that allow for noise removal and virtual backgrounds.
