The GeForce RTX 3080 is the direct successor to the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Super graphics cards. Nvidia is offering a Founders Edition of the card and the board partners are also releasing their own versions of the graphics cards. The graphics cards from board partners such as KFA2, ASUS, Zotac, MSI, Gainward, Palit, PNY, Gigabyte, EVGA and INNO3D use the same Ampere GPUs, but often have leeway in the choice of graphics memory and develop their own PCBs and coolers. As a result, they are usually better tuned and clock higher, but are also often quieter.
