[@fns58]

Very grateful for these reviews, and such a big unit set at once! Something I loved from your 4080 reviews that I really missed here is the temperature comparison with noise romalized. That way I was able to get an idea of cooling performance despite the reported noise levels. Basically to see which card is the quietest with the custom temp curves I will give them. Another thing that would be awesome would be to see softwares, or at least talk about any specific issues you found with them.

[@Keyosu]

I love how direct you are with your reviews. No roundabout explanations, clear and informative. Now I can share this to anyone struggling to pick the right 4080S

That's the goal, glad it's appreciated!

It would've been good to include the Asus ProArt 4080 Super to see what compromises (if any) they made to get it so much smaller than these other 4080s.

It's in my computer for the past two days. I can tell I'm delighted with it. Very silent, performances are great and temps are stellar (it rarely hits more than 67°C under load). I undervolted it to 915mv and nearly decreased its power consumption by 30% (around 227W on max load, aka 4K gaming and intensive Stable Diffusion).

noise comparison/temps being the thing that matters most between different models of the same card, is amazing to have. great job! would've loved to see the even smaller (shorter and narrower) asus proart, asus noctua, zotac trinity and zotac amp included. almost only those seem to fit my case. it's still great to see though, thanks for the great info

[@beargillesgaming]

I can't justify spending almost $3k CAD on a 4090 so this only makes sense ESPECIALLY considering I'd only get maybe 20 more FPS in 4K. Now I want to make sure I am getting the best value 4080 Super on the market. Great video.

I got the Gainward Panther 4080 Super, that was the cheapest, and quite happy with it. It is cool and quiet. It is almost the same as Palit in the video (they own Gainward).

[@HEAD123456]

They are pretty much same card.They using same heatsink/cooler on both cards, they weight same and have same dimensions. Btw i ordered gainward 4080s panther OC today too. Price here in czech republic is really good. Even better price/perf than 80% of 4070TI supers. No brainer for me.

[@Яблокипадаютвнебо]

Buy 4080 which, all other things being equal, has the best element base. In the case of the 4080, these are cards from vendors: "Founders Edition" and "Asus Strix", low-quality thermal pads and dry thermal paste on the GPU of which can be easily replaced with high-quality ones. In the case of the 4090, these are already 3 vendors with the highest quality components: "Founders Edition", "Asus Strix", "MSI Suprim". Other vendors of RTX 4080-4090 have a "mid-low" quality components, even if one of them has some better numbers of GPU , memory and hot spot temperatures.

[@CarlizWang]

My first impression of the Inno3D card was, "damn that is a slick looking card". Then I found out it still is a 2 slot card, just seems small besides the other monsters.😅

[@mezball]

I would stay away from the Gigabyte Gaming OC for a few reasons as I did owned one, but was sent back due to being faulty. I previously had a MSI 4080 Ventus OC, that I gave to my son to upgrade his 3080. The Gig was a lot bigger compared to the MSI 4080, and EVGA 3080 FTW, but was very light in weight, and ran hotter compared to both of them. As, stated the Gig was returned due to constant crashing no matter what I tried. After returning the card, I picked up a ASUS 4080 Super Pro Art. This card has been in my system for a bout 2 months with no issues. It is as small if not smaller then the 3080 FTW, and runs cooler. I do not usually like Asus products, but this card has worked great.

I bought an ASUS TUF 4080S a week ago. I just called Memory Express and told them to call me when they get one in, as I did several times successfully during the mining nonsense (they were still selling at MSRP...profits paid for this and my last card). They have been selling out as fast as they come in. Cost me $1,369 CAD ($1,000 USD). I only buy TUF cards now as they are clearly the best for price/performance, they run cool, and they're all-metal. Palit cards aren't available in many countries. OC cards are a complete waste of cash. I was surprised how much bigger it is than the ASUS TUF 4070ti (that I gave to my son). That card was wider, but the exact same length and weight as his TUF 3060ti. He's also running it in his system with an EVGA 550W PS (with a 5600) on a B450 board, and no issues at 1440p. I have an EVGA 750W PSU with a 5800X3D. Say what you will about Nvidia, they have done magical work keeping the 30 and now 40 series very power efficient.

I have a question regarding the power connector, do any or all of the cards you tested here have the revised and improved H++ 12V-2X6 connector instead of the lower wattage old design H+ 12VHPWR? As I heard rumours that manufacturers are still using the old connector even though PCI-Sig told them to use the new design instead as I was looking at getting a 4080 super but if their still using the old connector, think I'll then wait until the 5000 series is out.

[@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov]

Jetstream OC definitely has H++ markings on it's power connector(which means - it's the new one, old one had H+), just google "card_name pcb" and look at power connector for card you're interested in

[@amaizel]

Where I live prices don't make any sense. Cards like the Gaming OC cost 400-500 dollars more than what a PNY or Palit card costs, even if it is supposed to be just $50 above MSRP. GPU prices are to volatile and demand is way too high, if you're buying a 4080 S you most likely will have to buy the one that is available or the cheaper one. Just as an example, here a MSI Expert costs $1250 but the Suprim X is being sold by $1500, and the difference in performance really does not justify an extra $250, specially when with that difference you could go for a i9 instead of an i7, or simply buying more storage or better memory.

[@icanseeall-inthisreality]

it's good to have choice though and there's more of a difference than just performance. there are all the different specs and how they made the card work and different quality and rating parts they have. also, the look and the rgb etc. etc. having a choice is great and it always has been great, there have been many very expensive cards long before now.

Got a MSI RTX 4080 Super OC Ventus x3. Before that I had a ASUS ROG Strix RTX 3080 White Edition 10gb. I can say that the MSI was lighter, the height was just slightly lower and just slightly longer. My motherboard didn't need any support stand for the RTX 3080, so no need for it with MSI RTX 4080 Super OC Ventus x3 either but I putted the no good support bracket on anyway. Just for looks. No RGB either, but it doesn't matter when the entire computer got RGB, it looks pretty awsome anyway. It is very cool as well. Hot Spot doesn't exceed 77 degrees celcius, it is spot on 76.4. Can run 4K gaming quite easy. BF 2042 on Ultra 4K never goes under 125, is around 125-165 on the fps and I got a Samsung G7 32 inch 4K monitor 144mhz. It is the more cheap then the rest of the cards and money well spent I will say. Another story with my RTX 3080 that started to throttle with a hot spot around 120 degrees celcius. Need to change the cooling paddings on it at new cooling paste and then it will be cooler then it was from the box.

Get a 90 degree 16 pin cable for it though or you're going to be angry while trying to get your case covers on! I run it with the LEDs in Smart mode so the CPU and GPU temps are color synced and so far aside from initial boot nothing I throw at it can get it out of the green and most of that is without the fans even unparking which it doesn't do until over 54C. It normal runs between 34C and 52C no matter what. I can't get into noise because it's never pushed to high fan speed and because my Velox case is a tank with glass side panels so I never hear anything out of anything anyway.

I found stocks on nvidia website today in france and bought it instantly at 1109euro msrp while the cheapest aib you can get (which is WORSE than the fe edition) is 120euro more expensive

[@jaxbade]

I went for the Asus ProArt custom, similar pricing (1.108€, port included), but my experience with the 3080Ti FE and its noisy fans dissuaded me to go for a FE model again. Is the 4080 Super FE having the same noise profile? What I really liked about the ProArt is how silent it operate (on top of the 2,5 slots design), clear recommendation. 👌

[@Shengguo0]

according to all the reviews ive watched and read before pulling the trigger, 4080s fs is dead silent considering it has 4090 cooler so the fan never needs to go fast, But honestly i think they should be about the same and id just pick one over the other according to price or desing if u have some money to spare @@jaxbade
