GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4080 Gaming OC 16G Graphics Card, 3X WINDFORCE Fans, 16GB 256-bit GDDR6X, GV-N4080GAMING OC-16GD Video Card

This thing is absolutely titanic.. Upgrading from a 2080 Super to a 4080. It is at least 3x the size of a 2080 Super, and barely fit into my Fractal Meshify 2. It is pressed into the edge of the front fans, and I have to slightly bend the back of my case to get the card into my case. I doubt I could reasonably install anything in my other PCIe slots.I wanted to wait for better pricing, but unfortunately my 2080 died prematurely. The 4080 is definitely a nice card, but the price is absolutely not good. You should grab this card if you can get it at 800-900 USD.

I have had mine for several months and have had zero issues with it. Even though it has an anti-sag bracket, i was still a little concerned about the weight of the card over the length from bracket to end just hanging, so i ended up getting a GPU stand for it. It sits perfectly, although I can definitly benefit from a bigger case. Games work and look beautiful, especially on a 2k, 144hz monitor. Cyberpunk 2077 is ran with my B550F and a Ryzen 7 3800-X on ultra, max raytracing, DLSS and getting at minimum 80 to max 120fps. Depends on city location and density that makes it lower/higher. A bit high on pricetag but its technology. Greatly recommended item.

The air cooling system of this card is probably the biggest, and best-performing of any graphics card I've ever seen. The heatsinks do such a good job of dissipating heat that the fans don't even turn on unless you're at 100% utilization, and even then, they are almost completely silent from 2' away. If you design efficient and effective airflow in your case design, this gigantic heatsink will outperform water-cooling systems with substantially less noise.

I went and built a future proof (I hope) for a good 10 years. z690/64gb ddr5/i913900k cpu. I was running a 2080ti FE card and decided to make the jump with the excellent 0% promotion on payments option offered. I've been an evga fan but unfortunately they stopped carrying the 4080 series card. This card is a beast in size and weight. I bought a support piece to hold up the card on the end, I can see this card causing significant fatigue on the socket if you don't have one.So big my phanteks enthroo case would not fit the card and this is a big full ATX case. The design engineers I don't think had any vision a video card could get so big, until you see it in person, these cards are huge. I had to decide with the size and case, return the card because I could not make it fit, get a new case after I spent 150 or so on this case just a few months ago or see if I could modify the metal bracket areas where the card would navigate in. Looking at my options I chose to go into the case, using metal tin snips (scissors that cut metal) and cut about 5" of metal on the back area and then the center support frame. Yes it looks ugly where I made the gaps to allow the case to be installed but when the case is closed up with the panel you would never know through the viewing window.I have an evga 850w power supply, ran the 3 evga channel connectors to each pigtail for the new connection. The card has been running flawlessly.I have a 4k gaming monitor so I have a setup that can run things that will push this card. If I didn't have such a big high resolution monitor my 2080 would have still be just fine. I think this card is for people who are running 2k/4k resolution and gaming at that level. Anything less probably the card isn't going to get pushed too hard.3d mark from a 2080 on my rig went on video from 14,533 on the 2080ti to 28,491 on the 4080.In world of warships with the highest settings when I ran the 2080 at 4k I was getting around 90-95 fps with the 4080 I'm at 190-200 fps with 4k resolution.If you are looking to go from a 2080 to 4080, it's double the performance.When I'm gaming in high res, I don't hear the fans running and I don't seem to notice the room getting hot like some older high performance cards get. I hear no whine, I am grateful for that.Right now I'd have no hesitation telling someone to buy it if you have the right case and a monitor that will support the 2k/4k resolution. If amzn is offering the 0% financing for 12 or 18 mo, it's not as hard on the wallet and with a 4yr warranty which most other cards are only 3.

Ran 38127 Passmark at stock clocking's which is just below the 4090 average - great value compared to 4090!Card is very big and heavy, but comes with an add-on bracket to give it extra support and stability. With the Windforce fans it runs cool and super quiet even when doing medium gaming, Ultra gaming will increase the fans a bit, but it is not too noticeable.Comes with a PSU adapter cable for 3x8pin to the12 4 power needed for the card, but it is very short and thus not really aesthetically usable. Best to get a new PSU with native 12 4 graphics power.
