Get an RTX 3080 12GB for $810 at Newegg, $450 off MSRPA new low price for the faster 12GB variant of the RTX 3080.
A new low price for the faster 12GB variant of the RTX 3080.
The RTX 3080 12GB is a little-known variant of the RTX 3080 released late last year. As well as coming with the same memory subsystem as the RTX 3080 Ti - 12GB of GDDR6X attached to a 384-bit interface - it’s also faster than the vanilla 3080, with more CUDA and RT cores.
That performance normally comes at a steep premium, but today an MSI Ventus 3X RTX 3080 12GB model is going for a low price over at Newegg. They’re asking $810 for the graphics card after a $30 rebate, some $450 below the GPU’s ludicrously high MSRP. That makes this model actually cheaper than almost all RTX 3080 10GB cards on the market, and a worthy deal for ourhallowed deal archives.

In terms of the specs, let’s quickly run down the standard RTX 3080 10GB versus this RTX 3080 12GB. On the 12GB model, you get 8960 CUDA cores versus 8704, 12GB of GDDR6X versus 10GB, a 384-bit memory interface versus 320-bit, good for 912GB/s of memory bandwidth versus 760GB/s. That means you’ll see quite significant performance improvement over the standard RTX 3080 in VRAM-limited scenarios, which do pop up occasionally when gaming or for content creation. The price of this is slightly higher power consumption too - 350W versus 320W - but it doesn’t change Nvidia’s recommended power supply rating, which remains at 750W.
Anyway, I thought this was an interesting deal and I hope you agree. Thanks for joining us once again, and be sure to let me know if these kinds of deals are helpful or not. We’ll see you next time!
