This review was difficult to word... I love this card. It was great, but I keep looking at the absolutely horrendous price that Nvidia gave it. In 2011, I bought a Nvidia GTX 480 reference card for about $400.. the RTX 4080 reference card is over $1,200 when you do the real math. Knowing this, spending over $1,700+ after tax/etc... for this AIB card, it was a tough decision to make. Performance for this card is as expected, it's a *little* improvement over my RX6950XT for rasterization and immense for RT, but truth be told, it wasn't worth the price.. If you have an RTX 2080, it would be worth it more to uprade to this card. If you own a RTX 3080 or RX6900/6950XT, I'd keep it for value and sensibility. All in all, I see performance improvements, but I don't feel like the inflated price was worth it. That is the justification behind my ratings. If this card was priced around $850 or closer, I'd would have given it 5/5 across the board. It's a good card with a good performance uplift and it's built very very well, the PRICE though Nvidia, come on... If I find a 4090 with some luck, I may return this card for it. But I don't see that happening within my return window, so I may settle for it.

Love this card. It's more expensive than I would like and had BestBuy had a different one in stock that was cheaper, I would have bought that one instead, but it really is a premium card. It feels incredible to hold and the build quality is really nice. Not a huge fan of the red and blue on the fan side of the card, but it's facing down in my build so I will never see it. Only downside so far is the fact I can't get the Asus software to show the card so I can't adjust the RGB. As for performance, I am hitting 260 FPS at 1440p in Modern Warfare II. I have it paired with a 13900k and 32GB of DDR5 ram, and it's just killing it. If you can afford it, definitely pull the trigger. Last thing, I saw another review mention coil whine, but thankfully my card doesn't have any.

Excellent performance, I got it for 1800 dollars, to play in 1080p (for now) in which I change my monitor, but excellent equipment and it does justice to its size because it does not exceed 61°C in titles such as Halo Infinite, Portal with Rtx, COD MWII, Cyberpunk 2077 and Fly Simulator all at more than 80fps, all in ultra on a borrowed 4k monitor, in my case it hasn't exceeded 320W of consumption. COUPLED TO A 13900kf AND 32GB DDR5 6000MHZ, it barely exceeded 650W at full load in the benchmarks, so I have more than enough of the 850W PSU. In short: expensive? Yes, but it's worth every penny... Penny.
