Q&A

The best RTX 3080 PC deals are becoming harder to find, but we're still on the hunt for great offers. Now that the RTX 4080 Super is a thing, you're more likely to see builds with the new gen GPU inside. However, if you've settled on the idea of using a 30-series rig, we've got you covered when it comes to finding one at the right price. You'll potentially save a chunk of money in the process, and there's nothing stopping you upgrading in the future.

Many of the best gaming PC builds will now come with either an RTX 4090 or lower spec RTX 40-series GPU inside, but RTX 3080 rigs are still considered powerhouses. In fact, Nvidia's Ampere GPU is still considered one of the best graphics cards around, and it can boost fps using fancy AI upscaling tricks like DLSS 2. More often than not, system's with Nvidia's high end GPU also feature respectable specs, serving as a base you can built upon with future upgrades.

To aid you on your quest to find a discounted rig, we've whipped up a collection of the best RTX 3080 gaming PC deals available today. From big name brands like Alienware and Asus to lesser known builders with high specs, we've scoured a range of storefronts to save you some pennies. Just keep in mind that if you're looking to spend $1,000 or less, you'll want to check out the best cheap gaming PC deals, as we've got a list of budget options that'll upset your bank balance even less. There will also come a time when RTX 3080 aren't available anymore, so it's better to grab one sooner than later.

Q&A

How much should I pay for an RTX 3080 gaming PC?

The exact cost of an RTX 3080 gaming PC will depend on the rest of the rig's specs, as components like CPU and RAM can drive up prices. If you're looking to pay less for a system, we'd suggest opting for a build with an older processor, as you don't necessarily need an shiny new i7 or i9 to boost fps.

Is the RTX 4080 worth it over the RTX 3080?

Both the RTX 4080 and RTX 3080 are exceptional graphics cards, but Nvidia's latest GPU line-up comes with exclusive features. If you're planning on playing at 4K with settings cranked up high, you'll be able to use DLSS 3 Frame Generation using a 4080 to increase frame rates. The 3080 can still use DLSS 2 and AI upscaling to improve performance, but the results aren't quite the same.

Is the RTX 3080 overkill?

The RTX 3080 isn't exactly overkill in 2023, as new releases can push the GPU. That said, if you're not planning at playing at either 1440p or 4K with max settings enabled, you'd perhaps be better off picking up a cheaper RTX 4060 system. Not only can the new entry-level GPU fill in frame rate gaps using DLSS 3 and Frame Generation, but it can provide a high spec 1080p gaming experience while consuming less power.

And if you're looking to try your luck with individual components, these are the best prices available on the RTX 30 series in all its various forms.

Currently a Hardware Editor at GamesRadar+ and in charge of all things PC after graduating from University with a degree in Politics and International Relations in 2022. During my time at University I managed to obtain a platform on social media - specifically TikTok - where I reviewed tech and gaming hardware and produced creative and innovative gaming content. My platform allowed me to be an advocate for females in gaming and within the tech industry as a whole. I'm primarily a PC gamer and have been for over 8 years now and with no specific genre I enjoy, I have been able to play and love many titles from the past decade. I would label myself as a Nintendo Fanatic and also am extremely interested in VR and hoping to follow it closely in upcoming years.
