Customers frequently mention the exceptional performance and effective cooling of the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB GDDR6X Graphics Card, allowing for high-frame-rate gaming at high resolutions, even with ray tracing enabled. Many appreciate the improved price-to-performance ratio and sleek design, although some note the card's large size. A few users reported experiencing minor coil whine, but overall, the positive feedback on performance and cooling outweighs these concerns.
My monitor is a Dell 27 Curved Gaming Monitor - S2722DGM, 68.58cm (27.0"), VA,165Hz,1ms (MPRT), FreeSync Premium and my previous video card was an Intel A770, which is a nice mid level card, but it cannot run the monitor on ultra settings and hit 144Hz. -Enter the 4080 Super This card is a significant improvement over the A770 with 10W idle, 32C idle and 67C fully loaded running ultra settings, 1440p AND 144Hz. This card is very nice and the cooler is overbuilt since it shares the 4090 RTX design which makes more heat. I like the card very much, however the price is very much out of reach and finding it in stock at MSRP is not easy. If you do get a chance to own this card, pricing aside, it's a very nice product that works great at stock settings while running ALL of the eye candy on maximum settings. I won't take off a point for the LED lights even though I have a blacked-out case. Also, if you have a newer PSU, use the 12VHPWR cable and make sure you do it correctly the first time; measure twice, cut once; 1000USD is an expensive mistake for not ensuring proper seating! Lastly, this GPU is paired with an undervolted and overclocked (Intel Extreme Tuning Utility) 14700K to get the highest FPS possible. Couple the CPU with an anti-bending frame and a carbon thermal sheet for zero maintenance and let er' rip! My prior system was an i5-2500K (2nd Gen) using a 1070Ti so the jump was huge coming from 1080p @ 60 FPS, 16GB DDR3 1660MHz RAM w/ a 400MB/s SATA III SSD to 1440p @ 144 FPS, 32GB DDR5 6000 RAM w/ a 7000MB/s NVMe M.2 SSD.

Upgrading from the RTX 2070 Super to the RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition has completely transformed my gaming experience with a 2K 360Hz monitor. The performance is phenomenal, delivering ultra settings and sky-high frame rates that make competitive gaming buttery smooth and incredibly responsive. Ray tracing with DLSS ensures top-tier visuals without compromising performance. The card stays cool and quiet, even during long sessions, letting me stay fully immersed in every game. For anyone serious about gaming, this upgrade is an absolute game-changer.

The 4080 needed a refresh after coming in at 1199 initially. The 4080S changed the aesthetic for the better and drops the price by $200 while improving performance between 1-4%. There are better value picks out there but if you have the cash you for this you won’t be disappointed. I’ve had this since June and it’s generally overkill for 1440p and your best bet in 4K without dropping $1700 on a 4090. Runs really cool but with very faint coil whine. DLSS makes running all games at 4K a breeze.
