ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 ROG Strix V2 OC 10GB GDDR6X Black
The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 (Newegg Refreshed) has mixed user feedback. One verified buyer was surprised by its excellent condition, arriving sealed in an antistatic bag with no wear.

The manufacturer's support response suggests enabling multiple displays in settings, but this does not resolve the underlying hardware concern.

- Potential hardware defect
