Managed to pick up a pre-used Zotac Trinity 3080 12gb for 400. It’s unbelievable performance for the price and has operated faultlessly since installation

big ripoff by charging a premium for extra vram when they should have included the rtx 3080 with 12GB of Vram for default

Grab microcenter open box ones, sometimes priced cheaper than a 3080 10g. Got a ftw3 for below 900 from there

ALL FAQs »

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
