NVIDIA teases custom Overwatch-themed GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card | TweakTown NVIDIA is getting into the spirit of Overwatch... at least in China, with NVIDIA GeForce China approving a slick custom GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics card inspired by Overwatch. This isn't the first time NVIDIA has customized a GeForce RTX Founders Edition graphics card, with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Cyberpunk 2077 graphics card looking just as dapper -- but now we have the GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition themed with Overwatch and it looks pretty damn good, if you could find it that is. NVIDIA has painted the card in gold and black, with Tracer's face on the back of the card and an Overwatch logo sticker on the fan. I doubt there will be many of these Overwatch-themed GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card made or available, but if you can get it you're probably desperate enough at this point you don't care whatever the hell artwork is on your graphics card. These will sell out far too fast if you can even find one in my opinion.

I don't get this at all, you certainly don't need a 3080 to play Overwatch, and it's not even a new game. Have there been news on Overwatch 2 or what?

I don't understand why they do this kind of cards, there is a big shortage of cards, and they release collector cards like that, it's little bit frustrating.

While it's probably for the best these kind of promotional designs faded away, I can't pretend I wouldn't want some kind of crazy, outlandish designs just for the heck of it.

I think this shows we are not close to a 3080Ti but hey they are doing a card like this instead of a Ti version of an Overwatch card.

Agreed, but I'm not going to lie this thing looks pretty dope.

Yeah, I mean I like the color scheme. But I could go for a different logo too.

It would be cool if you could get different shroud colors for FE GPUs 👍

3080 FE Overwatch design from Nvidia itself?
What is happening, why is this happening.
3080 is so old, even the entry of the 1000 series manage the game to work properly. Also what is the hype of Overwatch. There are no news for Overwatch 2.

You don't even need to run Overwatch to max settings / frames on a 3080 ?
What will it give you 1000 FPS ?
I can't understand this logic

It makes a ton of business sense in terms of promotion and being able to slap a nice markup on it.
