The Palit GeForce RTX 3080 Gaming Pro OC is the company’s premium RTX 3080 Ampere product, targeted at 4K UHD high-end gaming PC builds with the right balance of bling and practicality. This is one of the few custom-design cards we have with us in this review that sticks to the standard full height. The Gaming Pro OC board design involves a chunky triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution with copious amounts of metal and minimal use of RGB bling. Its designers also made clever use of its length to ensure one of the three fans vents completely through the card, which is not unlike NVIDIA’s Founders Edition card with its Dual Axial Flow-Through cooler.The GeForce RTX 3080 Ampere is NVIDIA’s new-generation flagship consumer graphics card, designed to bring 4K UHD gaming with raytracing turned on to a three-figure price-point. It also offers 1440p and 1080p high refresh-rate gameplay with RTX on. The new Ampere graphics architecture represents the 2nd generation NVIDIA RTX, the company’s bold new effort to bring real-time raytracing to the consumer segment by combining conventional raster 3D graphics with raytraced components, such as lighting, shadow, reflections, ambient occlusion, and global illumination. This results in visuals that go above and beyond what raster graphics are capable of, while being true to life.
