NVIDIA Showcases Custom RTX 3080 Graphics Cards at Bilibili World 2021 - Not for Sale

[Raevenlord]

NVIDIA at Bilibili World 2021 showcased some custom RTX 3080 graphics cards - customizations which it commissioned to known modders. In total, three custom graphics cards were shown in a variety of colors, even though all of them shared the same base shroud design. The modders then played with illustrations and color coordination, which resulted in one orange RTX 3080 (featuring the Chengdu Hunters Overwatch clan insignia) and two turquoise/petrol graphics cards with differentiated accents (black and turquoise for the card inspired on Chinese role-playing game The Legend of Sword and Fairy, and white and petrol for the card celebrating the 9th anniversary of the Luo Tianyi anime series).

These graphics cards likely won't be put to sale in any way by NVIDIA; however, they could eventually decide to give them away as a prize for any sort of online competition, much like they did with the gorgeous, Cyberpunk 2077 interpretation of the RTX 2080 Ti some time ago - which the winner eventually sold at auction for $5,200 (at a time where graphics card pricing was actually saner). One could argue that NVIDIA should have just sent these towards the retail channel, but at least we got to see three RTX 3080's at the same time.

Yeah, real $*#)ing cool nVidia... Show off some limited edition custom cards that you can't even buy... cause you know the regular vanilla versions are so plentiful and reasonably priced.

Good luck to anyone looking to take the douche bag of the year award from nVidia for 2021, the bar has been set high indeed.

Nope, notta, no way, Jose'...

I want the SuperDuperUltraDeluxeMegaQuadZillionTHZOverClockedLN5 Octo-slot edition, with the requisite fire-breathing dragon and transformer-ish conglomerated clusterf*uck prehistoric abortion gone really, really bad diamond studded & solid titanium shroud, as well as the 2 GAUGE/1024 pin, 240ft long superconducting nanographene fiberoptic power cables...

Of course, then I would also need a 1000TW fusion powered PSU to go with it too, hehehe....

On the show Babylon 5, "the one" is past, present and future. That's alot of jizz, 3.

Other 3080s are also not for sale. What's so special about this one?

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Nvidia could have made this look a lot better if they said they were going to auction them off for charity. People are already paying way too much for these things so at least in this case it could go to a good cause.

Still waiting for my Nvidia Tie.

Good thing they're not for sale, all bloody dogs arse ugly

 

[Renald]

Will Misaka Mikoto be there at this edition ?

 

[PLAfiller]

GPU modding I really have no overview on it, could be a thing. First two cards, look like waifu-edition, but diligent no nudity and stuff. What I really miss is a LED GPU fan. They put RGB everywhere, why not the squirrel-cage fan? Make it transparent and let the fun begins

 

[ThermoCycle]

Wait, you can buy rtx 3080 GPUs ?

Ok. Nice article.
Have a nice day.
Can you call me for 4080Ti release ?
Thank you.

No, these cards are intended for a very very very limited few who fit both categories of "NVidia enthusiast" & "color blind". I'm surprised they didn't make them a rainbow or Fruity Pebbles color...

Will Misaka Mikoto be there at this edition ?

heh, I call him "MisMik" or "MiMi".

 

[jesdals]

Showcaseing videocards - but none for sale - nope no news here...

 

[lemoncarbonate]

Looks very cool. I like it. But I dont recognize any of the design/branding.
Too bad it's not for sale.

Your bias against Nvidia might at least have been disguised if you called them by their actual name. Instead, it is made clear you how you felt even before you arrived and commented.

New level of BS from Ngreedia....
