ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 OC, TUF-RTX4080-O16G-GAMING, 16GB GDDR6X, 2x HDMI, 3x DP

Nach Referenz- und Custom-Design-Duellen treten RX 7900 XTX und RTX 4080 mit OC-Taktraten gegeneinander an. AMDs Grafikkarte kann dabei mit großem Aufschlag auf die Leistungsaufnahme etwas mehr zulegen als Nvidias. Überraschend hoch liegt der maximale Takt von Navi 31: 3,5 GHz sind möglich, aber nicht in Spielen.

The RTX 4080 is a real beast when it comes to performance. Whether it’s pure raster performance or ray tracing performance, the RTX 4080 can easily handle these titles without a flinch. Based on the performance numbers we’ve collected, the performance per watt ratio for the RTX 4080 is truly impressive compared to the previous-gen RTX 30 series GPUs and the introduction of the new DLSS 3.0 feature just makes it even better. For the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 OC Edition, it’s just a tad bit faster right out of the box with some extra performance if you don’t really want to deal with any kind of performance tweaking at all. Though my concern with this card is actually the GPU load temperature and Memory Junction temperature that is higher than the RTX 4080 Founders Edition. It’s not really the alarmingly high temperature you should worry about, but it makes me wonder what is actually going on under that heatsink, as many of us are expecting a better cooling solution on a custom design from the AIC partners. Price-wise, as much as I wanted to have this myself as a die-hard TUF fan, I find the retail price of RM 7,299 is pretty expensive if compared to models from the other AIB partners that lack the premium aesthetics. Don’t get me wrong though, for what it can deliver in both work and gaming, the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 OC Edition is an excellent card, but the price is just not right at the moment.
