The price of RTX 30 series GPUs has plummeted in recent months. This is a good thing for us as consumers, as the starting price of these GPUs was much higher than the originally targeted MSRP. For Amazon Prime Day, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra graphics card has dropped to the lowest price we’ve seen since launch. It has been reduced to $779.99, down from $919.99. Amazon is about $100 cheaper than buying it directly from EVGA.
Amazon Prime Day Deals: EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Video Card for $779.99
The GeForce RTX 3080 GPU really needs no introduction. This is the real must-have card if you plan on playing the current generation of 4K games as it is up to 50% faster than the previous generation RTX 2080 and not the high price tag of the RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3090 required (both of which 3% -5) are in real world performance). It has an HDMI 2.1 port to go through 4K @ 120Hz, which has the ability to power even resource-hungry games like Elden Ring, Battlefield 2042 or Cyberpunk 2077.
EVGA’s FTW3 Ultra comes with an oversized 2.7-slot heatsink with triple fan cooling and a metal shield. This amount of dissipation allows the card to run cooler and quieter than the reference model RTX 3080 FE. This also allows the FTW3 Ultra to get a modest 1800Hz overclock compared to the standard 1710MHz Boost on the 3080 FE. Finally, and certainly the least important detail, let’s not forget RGB lighting. There’s plenty to make this card stand out in both traditional and portrait orientations.
