Asus ProArt 4080 Super Review, Unboxing, Benchmarks and More!

[@LOT9T]

I bought this card opening day and as i originally purchased a Zotac Trinity black that had a defect i got mine for $1,069 American. Could not be happier. Best part is this card never really reached over 70 degrees at full load Cyberpunk 4k with Rt overdrive did though :). I am glad i bought this card its a winner in my book! Thx for the overview John enjoy!

[@danielcampbell3686]

I loved the review. A few months back, I built a new Proart-based system using both the X670E board and the 4080 super, the Fractal Design North XL, AMD 7800X3D, and 64GB RAM. I used a 420 rad up front to keep everything nice and cool. Even under load, it never gets over 30C. I'm very happy with it.

[@JohnLCharette]

That sounds like a monster build. I am considering a build in a Fractal North XL. You didn't run into any issues with GPU length with your 420 up front?

@JohnLCharette there's plenty of room, I'd be surprised if you had problems,

Ah man I'm doing a similar build! Except I managed to nab a 9800x3d. I'm also using the fractal north mid tower not the XL. I could only fit a 240mm AIO top mount tho. Hope it's cool enough. Great choice on build

Hey! Great review, thank you! I got the same card one week ago. The temperatures were pretty similiar to yours (especially during 4K gaming, hotspot ~90C), so I decided to undervolt it a little. Changed to 900mV and 2550 MHZ in MSI Afterburner. No big difference in performance, but the temperatures dropped to 75-80 for hotspot. Personally, for me, it's not loud at all (even at stock), also got no coil whine. Overall, great card and very happy about the purchase!

Great! :D THX, but only one small thing :) Fan noise testing. Please move your mic 30cm away and out of the airflow since it impacts noise a lot and also it is more realistic to have it 30cm away with s0 gain since it would simulate how we hear it when standing 1m away on the table or so. Doing it like this you are introducing vibrations, wind noise and also it is just too close! Your test should be mic > mouse click > GPU since that is where we are irl from our PCs :)

[@JohnLCharette]

You're welcome! And yes, the original 4080/4090s were over engineered to deal with 450-600w of power. We're seeing a trend of smaller cards coming out.. Asus with this ProArt, MSI with their slim cards for those who don't need crazy heatsinks.

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to say that the TUF 4080 was the same price as the TUF 4090. I just didn't have any footage of a TUF 4080 on-hand, so I used my old TUF 4090 footage.

For me, I purchased it (not here yet) due to the fact that it is the only 4080 it will fit in a micro ITX case. I have one of those for my living room PC and this will become a hand of me down when I upgrade it. For now the living room one has a 4070 TI super. Had I known this card would have fit I would have purchased it in the first place lol. Oh well, 4070 TI supervised plenty fast enough for 4K and considering the fact that doesn't seem to be any negative impact on performance I'm okay with this for my main rig for now.

I wanted to buy this specific model but ended up with a 4070ti super at launch instead because I couldn't find one at a reasonable price. Now this proart model is on sale for 50€ under MSRP plus a 90€ rebate and I'm very tempted to upgrade even though it's just ~18% stronger

[@JohnLCharette]

Personally, I wouldn't upgrade unless you absolutely need to. I was using a ProArt 4070 Ti for about 6 months before I sold it in a build. It worked really well for all of my 1440p gaming with most high end games averaging 100fps. If you want 4K gaming, or more FPS, then upgrade, but given the 18% increase, you'll probably pay more than 18% to upgrade. Let me know what you decide.

[@fatidicusaeternus6498]

@@JohnLCharette it's ultimately a minor upgrade, but I did also upgrade from 1440p to 4k in the meantime so the bump is more meaningful than it would be at 1440p. Giving myself maximun FOMO, the 50-series is not far away anyway so that is the rational part saying no for me.

13:17 which 4080 doesn‘t work in games and isn‘t stable in applications? I don‘t see the difference except the size and optic to any other 4080 tbh.

[@JohnLCharette]

You're right. The driver set plays more into stability. If you run the Studio Ready drivers on your Asus Strix, it'll be more stable in applications. My point is that most people think it's a workstation card only, but it can be used like any other 4080 Super.

[@marcusgoodlooking2482]

I had this card for a week but I had to return it because of high temperatures on stock clocks (2745mhz-2685mhz efective )in games 68-72C and in Cyberpunk even 75C with full details and raytracing (no path) , fans were exceeding 2000 rpms so it was almost like a hair dryer sound. For this GPU is full size cooling needed if we want enjoy full scale gaming .I wish that this card didn't meet my thermal and fan noise expectation because it`s looking really slim and sexy

Correct. The one connector goes into the GPU, the other connects to three 8pin PCI-E cables from your power supply. Or, you buy a dedicated 12vhpwr cable that goes from your power supply to your GPU as seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6HYm6F5ZtF6j5Y

What speed does the fan speed run at when gaming? Just so i can gauge how cool the 70ish degrees is. If its only 30% then bumping it up to 50% would presumably reduce temps a little bit more. Think my old 4070ti asus tuf ran at around 40% max fan speed and 65ish degrees

[@JohnLCharette]

The fans spin at 66%'ish under the heaviest loads.. but that will depend on the game. Could you cool it more if you increased the fans even more.. absolutely... but it gets loud. Your TUF card has much better cooling capabilities due to the larger heatsink.

[@JustinOhio]

I just ordered this on Amazon, I didn't realize it was made for creator content instead of gaming. My question to you is, will I need to do any special trickery to get the gaming drivers to work? I already have the nvidia control panel installed, currently using the 3080 on the drivers from the nvidia app. Will putting the new ProArt 4080 in just pick right up on the current drivers I have or will I need to somehow prevent it from trying to use the creator drivers? Will this mean anything else for gaming? Does it still use DLSS 3.5? Frame generation? etc?

[@JohnLCharette]

No need to make any changes. If you're already using the Game Ready drivers, it should just pick up the card. You'll continue to get notified for new Game Ready drivers. You'd need to manually switch to the Studio drivers. I had no clue Studio drivers existed until a year ago. This card will work perfectly for gaming, no concerns. And yes, you still get all of the DLSS advantages. There's zero performance difference as it uses the same GPU core. Enjoy your new purchase!

How much difference will that make? 1-3% slower.. you wouldn't even notice. If you aren't sold on the ProArt design, and want a cheaper card, the Zotac Trinity is an amazing card.

Why this model is cheaper than 4070ti Super,help

[@JohnLCharette]

Oh wow.. it shouldn't be. I would buy it, if you can find it cheaper than the 4070 Ti Super.

[@meibing4912]

Paid 936 USD today for mine. Looking forward to putting it under stress I’m content creation and desktop AI. Gaming is CIV VI so this card is a little over kill for that 🤣.

John i have another que, i ordered this GPU and today i'll get it. I saw that there are 2 types of Drivers, Which one should i instal? Ready for game or Studio somehting ^^ ? Thanks btw !!

[@JohnLCharette]

Very exciting! It's very simple. What's your primary purpose for the GPU? Gaming or workstation apps like the Adobe suite, Davinci Resolve, CAD software? Use the Game-Ready drivers if you're a gamer, use the Studio Ready drivers if you're a workstation user. I use the Studio Ready drivers because I'm a very light gamer, but know that when I do... I haven't had ANY issues using the Studio Ready drivers for games. Most of the time, the Game Ready drivers help with brand new games by fixing small bugs/issues. I'm rarely playing games the day they come out, but if you are.. use those.

I really wanted one of these, couldnt afford it. Settled on a 4070ti instead :/

[@JohnLCharette]

I had been using a ProArt 4070 Ti for 6 months before I sold it in a build. I upgraded to this one for the KZbin ;) I had no issues with my 4070 Ti. It worked great in all my games.

[@rob4601]

Hihi. This vs the msi expert? You did both

[@JohnLCharette]

I prefer the ProArt 4080 Super myself. I like the design better and it’s smaller. It’s also much louder though during high loads, which doesn’t bother me but if you want a more silent card, the MSI is more quiet. Perform wise, they are the same. Which one are you leaning towards?

[@brianmiller1574]

No dual bios, connector faces downwards is awkward to work with. When I got that card I had high hopes, but after receiving and realizing that and also it is loud, not as quiet I hoped for. I end up getting Dual 4070Ti Super virtually the same performance but in even smaller formfactor. Strangely the Asus Dual 4070TiS runs cooler.

[@JohnLCharette]

Everything you said is correct about this card. If you wanted dual-bios or quieter, Asus has other GPUs that will do that. This is a very simplified card that works well for most. Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. I have used Asus Dual cards in the past (3070) and it worked really well considering its size.

@@JohnLCharette i’m a big Asus fan but this time fully MSI build.

This card is enough for davinci and all others.

[@JohnLCharette]

Great suggestion on clock speeds and unblocking it. I love mine!

[@r.d.6290]

Still laws of physics are merciless. This card heats and sounds almost the same as evga 3080ti xc3 ultra, which was smallest of all 3080ti cards. Undervolting sure can help a bit, but still running games with fps uncapped or running the most demanding games at 60fps - constantly gives a feeling that the card is about to die.

[@JohnLCharette]

Yup, it's quite loud. I haven't gamed on mine much, but I do certainly hear it spin up when I do. That's a good comparison though, to an EVGA XC3.

[@Artem1234-m9d]

@@JohnLCharette No, I have three monitors and an LG C3 TV, which I also use as a monitor. Unfortunately, it has always only supported a maximum of three screens, even though it recognized all four. I tried many things and even contacted support, but without success. It seems that the bandwidth was not sufficient for (two 2K 165Hz monitors, one 4K 120Hz TV, and one 32:9 5120x1440 240Hz monitor). Therefore, I have stayed with my old RX 7900 XT

Oh wow.. yeah, that does feel like a lot of bandwidth, especially at those resolutions and refresh rates. I would love one of those 5120x1440 240mhz monitors. #baller ;)

[@rikimiki12]

I can't understand why these asus proart cards are hotter than asus dual cards. I think the radiator design from the dual, where the fins direct the airflow towards the back, outside the case, is simply better than the 3 fan design with the radiator fins move the air up to the cpu and around the case, with the back exit blocked. I think these cards are only sold for their design, there's absolutely no reason anyone would buy such a large model when it's cooling and noise is not better. You get nothing in exchange for the size. And if you have to undervolt for heat or lower the clocks by 30% to lower the coil whine using the Asus software button to reduce coil whine, why not simply buy a cheaper card?

[@JohnLCharette]

Yeah, I'm guessing a lot of it is the design. I remember testing a Dual 3070 and it was incredible. I used to mine on it and the VRAM were super cool. I assumed it would suck, but it was great. That said, I'm still using one of these ProArt 4080 Super's as my daily driver.. its great. No issues. I don't game much, but the only time I hear it spin up is when I'm rendering my KZbin videos.

[@rikimiki12]

@@JohnLCharette Thanks for replying. There's also Asus Prime with 3 fans but there are no reviews with the pcb and radiator exposed. I hope the rtx50 will use parallel radiator fins like the Asus Dual on the 3 fan models. I can't find any reason to blow very hot air from the gpu directly towards the mb (and the ssds which may be mounted there) and inside the case, when it can be ejected outside the case.

[@Ladioz]

Terrible noise from that card. At 30% immediately a scratching sound coming from the bearings

[@JohnLCharette]

Haha yeah, it can be a bit loud compared to other cards with better cooling. That's what you get when you decrease the footprint.

[@Ladioz]

@@JohnLCharette It's a pity because the card actually looks bad ass. I expected so much better from Asus. I suppose the only card worth looking at is Strix and TUF. However.... even though those have silent fans, I read some reviews that they have super loud coil whine. Cant win with these people lol

[@balkanska_elita]

Too hot, though I can buy it but I must pass it, Ill go for RX 7900XTX TUF they are same price in my place tho, I get DLSS and all that is far better and much present. It cost $1250 here both of them, this RTX 4080 Super Pro Art and the RX7900XTX TUF, same price performance vise same more or less, the HEAT is issue for me, 2 slot small factor cards are hot, especially this one the Pro Art, I see now why is it a work station card, just to use that CUDA for faster rendering which doesn't gives temps, but yet again, we don't know here in what games how much are the temps, or those temps are in synthetic benchmarks tho.

[@JohnLCharette]

Ah yes, a TUF card will definitely handle heat issues way better. It has the best thermal performance of all of Asus' lines of cards. As for 4080 Super vs 7900XTX... that's a tough one. I'm pretty hard on team green, but I'd be open to testing a 7900XTX, which I haven't done yet. Let me know if you end up grabbing it and how much you like it.
