EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 Black Gaming GPU

The Definition of Ultimate Performance

Experience next-level gaming with the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 Black, powered by NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture. Engineered for 4K performance, it delivers the speed, realism, and power that serious gamers demand. Featuring enhanced RT Cores, Tensor Cores, and ultra-fast GDDR6X memory, this GPU sets a new standard for high-fidelity gameplay. With EVGA Precision X1, fine-tuned overclocking and thermal control are at your fingertips—so you can push performance further than ever before.

Advanced Cooling, Redefined

The ICX3 Cooling System introduces a patented copper base that is 25% larger than previous generations, designed to cover both the GPU and VRAM for superior heat transfer and overall temperature reduction. Its 180° heat pipe design increases fin contact area by up to 65%, dramatically improving thermal efficiency across the RTX 30-series line-up.

Strategically placed airflow pockets allow unrestricted air movement through the heatsink for faster, more effective heat dissipation. The next evolution of EVGA’s ICX Cooling system—ICX3—delivers improved thermals and lower acoustics. Every aspect of the cooling assembly has been upgraded for maximum contact and efficiency, keeping temperatures low even under extreme loads.

Second-Generation Fans

EVGA’s second-generation fans feature an upgraded HDB motor that enables silent 0dB operation in low-load conditions. With asynchronous control, each fan operates independently for smarter, targeted cooling. A unique raised “E” pattern on the blades further reduces fan noise, ensuring a quieter gaming experience. When temperatures drop below 55°C, the fans automatically shut off, providing complete silence during light workloads for distraction-free computing.

The triple-fan design maximizes airflow and cooling efficiency while minimizing noise. Combined with real-time thermal sensor feedback through EVGA Precision X1, users gain full control over temperature monitoring, fan behaviour, and overclocking tools for peak gaming performance.

Intelligent Monitoring and Control

EVGA’s iCX3 Technology actively tracks heat zones across the GPU and adjusts cooling dynamically. Through EVGA Precision X1, you can monitor every sensor and control each fan individually—or let your card manage itself for true peace of mind gaming.

Performance and Graphics Innovations

NVIDIA DLSS uses AI-powered Tensor Cores to boost frame rates without compromising image quality, offering an incredibly smooth, high-fidelity experience. Real-time ray tracing and AI-driven rendering bring lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows to your games, powered exclusively by the NVIDIA RTX platform.

NVIDIA Reflex technology reduces system latency for the fastest possible reaction times in competitive games, giving you a measurable edge in performance and precision.

The GeForce RTX 3080 also empowers creators with AI acceleration in top creative applications, backed by NVIDIA Studio Drivers and tools. Whether you’re editing 8K video, rendering 3D environments, or livestreaming, this GPU delivers the performance to bring your vision to life.

With DirectX 12 Ultimate, you can enjoy hyper-realistic visuals featuring DirectX Raytracing (DXR) and Variable Rate Shading (VRS). Dedicated RT Cores make real-time ray tracing possible, offering up to three times higher frame rates in DXR-enabled games. Step beyond 4K with 8K HDR gaming for stunning detail and colour accuracy.

NVIDIA Ecosystem Features

GeForce Experience lets you capture, share, and optimize your games effortlessly. Virtual Reality support ensures immersive, low-latency experiences for next-generation VR titles. NVIDIA G-SYNC delivers smooth, tear-free gameplay at refresh rates up to 360Hz with HDR, while NVIDIA Ansel enables you to capture 360°, HDR, and super-resolution in-game photos like never before.
