Smallest rtx 3080

adrichardson81 · 2 Sep 2020 at 15:51

Hi all

I'm a bit tight for space in my current case (Jonsbo UMX4 Pro) and have 310mm max clearance. Can anyone point me to a small rtx 3080?

So far I've found:

FE - 285mm
MSI Ventus 3x - 305mm
Palit Gaming Pro - 294mm
Asus Tuf - 299.9mm

My main concern is fit, but I'd prefer minimal/no LED bling.

Thanks!

Not always - with my 2070 Palit would only let you do it through their app, and it wasn't even set and forget...

My 1080 Palit from 4 years ago lets me set it: Off, GPU temperature, Still, Rainbow and then there is a tick box to make it do that by default on boot up (in Thunder Master).

I wouldn't be expecting many small cards from the 3080 range, it consumes 320w so is going to need a beefy cooler to keep that in check.

I'd love to get my hands on a 3080 small enough to fit in a ITX rig. Fractal node 304

Check the zotac dual fan card. Normally they are smaller but that does come with a tradeoff of being not the best

I'm only seeing it in 3070 flavour, but I'll keep an eye out. I'm tempted to to take a gamble on Nvidia's edition not being a dog's dinner this time round.

Sorry to hijack but saves a new thread for such a simple question. Would a 3080 FE fit in the h510 elite with an x63? I have looked and I think it does but maybe one of the pros can confirm before I purchase the 3080 when released.

Ok that literally sounds made for me!

This is great news as the new cards are too long for my case! Also turns out i don't like the stock nvidia design this release either so if ASUS can release a slightly shorter 3080 with a nice cooler, that would be amazing.

Had that case, with Strix 980ti.. just haha

Aorus haven't released details yet but they had one of the smallest Flagship cards due to stacking 3 100mm fans .. this time around its 115mm fans stacked so guessing gone from 284mm to 300mm odd :/

Thanks - the Strix was 305mm, so I'm guessing Jonsbo's official 310mm is a bit generous?

I wonder what the dimensions of the card below are:

I was wondering the same thing. I had the 4x cooler on my 2070 before I changed case and it was a beast (and also rubbish). This definitely looks smaller.

TimAhKin · 4 Sep 2020 at 19:28

My case supports a max GPU length of 320mm and the 3080 variant I want to buy is 323mm. Looks like I need to turn into metal bender xD

Like someone else said, Zotac has the smallest card.

The only 'small' card there is is a 3070.

Anyone found out the dimensions of this yet? I need a 3080 around 280mm or under... hopefully some shorter ones get made by the 3rd party manufactures...
