The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 is a powerful performer, but often a pricey one. In competition with Amazon's Prime Day, B&H has listed the MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB Ventus 3x OC at $999.99 , matching a previous all-time low that falls $200 below MSRP. It's also roughly $100 less than any other RTX 4080 card we're seeing right now.

The MSI GeForce RTX 4080 16GB Ventus 3X OC has fallen $200 below MSRP, matching an all-time low for one of Nvidia's most powerful graphics cards. It has a boost clock up to 2,550 MHz and offers 16GB of VRAM.

The specs here are fairly standard, including 16GB of GDDR6X VRAM and a boost clock, at 2,550 MHz, just above Nvidia's Founders Edition card. This GPU has Nvidia' third-gen RT cores for ray tracing and supports DLSS 3 to boost performance with Tensor cores.

When we reviewed the RTX 4080 Founders Edition, we praised the GPU's speeds, efficiency, and ray tracing performance, but faulted its need for DLSS 3 and high price. But with this sale, that latter downside is blunted slightly. In our GPU hierarchy , the Radeon RX 7900 XTX is slightly faster and can still be had for around the same price, but this deal makes it a bit more even.

This is a thick 3.5-slot card and is long with three fans, so you'll need to make sure you have room in your case for it. It uses a 12VHPWR connector and can draw 320 watts, so you'll want to make sure you have a powerful PSU.
