I have a question regarding which is the best Cpu to match with the RTX 4080 without overpaying and without having a bottleneck reducing the Gpu capacity thank!
@@TechTesters and the most interesting part is the "non-OC" TUF goes for MSRP at $1200, but the "OC" TUF is priced at $1500 so I'm guessing ASUS would have very limited amount of non-OC TUFs but prioritize the "OC" ones.

Fantastic comprehensive comparative review of the Asus ROG Strix 4080 and the TUF Gaming 4080 and the Nvidia RTX 4080 FE. The market pricing along with the diminished performance in comparison to the RTX 4090 FE and AIB cards make the 4090 the better purchase proposition. The performance delta that the 4090 FE has over the 4080 FE and AIB cards should in theory allow any perspective owner to skip at least one upgrade cycle with the card without experiencing an appreciable performance deficit.
The 4080 to 4090 price comparison is an Nvidia strategy to distract average consumers from the actual 72% price increase from the 3080 to 4080. Founders $700 USD to $1200 USD is a huge jump. Makes the 6800 XT at $550 and 3080 (at $650 USD great buys at the currently discounted prices).
Good info, but my tuf card barely turns its fans on when in performance mode and has yet to break 68 degrees. When the fans do turn on I can't hear them. My case fans (which are not loud) drown out any noise. My 2080 super on the other hand was like a jet engine when it ramped up. Noticeably louder.
did you buy the GPU you previewed yourself or just borrow the display from asus, if not display loan can I order through you for the Strix RTX 4080 because I'm having trouble buying it in my country.
@@TechTesters I thought it was an Asus loan product for testing, but if it was later sold globally, it would be out of stock in a matter of seconds. Because in my country there is very little stock availability which is limited by Asus for stores that work with Asus. it's different from AMD, in my country, the availability of stock for AMD GPUs is more, almost untouched by gamers, only a few and less desirable for gamers, except for graphic designers because gamers prefer Nvidia over AMD, so in my country it's difficult to find RTX 30 series GPUs to the top.
Can you please response....i dont know which one is better Should i buy the msi geforce rtx 4080 gaming X or the msi geforce rtx 4080 suprim X....thanks for your amazing videos!
Coil whine is usually very specific to a situation, so even a different PSU can make a difference. It's also more common in badly programmed loading screens (where a card can suddenly put out 1500+ FPS). But I didn't notice any so far.
High FPS is causing louder coil whine buzzing cause of the higher frequency load on the power circuit. Games running at 100 to 200 FPS already will cause this, it just gets super loud on 500 to 1000 FPS. You can find here on RUclips people replacing the Inductors on electronic boards and fix the issues. RUclips code: watch?v=GjIpTAy4eww The main cause is a poor quality component that is called the Inductor. Some brands use cheap Inductors to maximize their profits. Replacing these can solve the issue, but as we all know it will void your grantee and you need electronic skills to pull it off. Best thing to do is to return the product and try other brands, that have better quality power components.
@@N0N0111 yea I know about this. Just wondering which brands are the least likely to have cool whine, wish there was a poll of people experiencing coil whine on particular cards. I found one for the 4090 and the asus cards were the worst for coil whine.
Did they do both Founders and Partner cards the same day NDA? I thought they always made it like the day of launch for partner cards. Good video though :)
The header is wrong, the data is correct and it applies to the RTX 4080. I've added a pinned comment as well. Thanks for pointing it out, it was late :)
For me it is hard to follow when you flip around the cards ordering in the comparison graph. The ordering "winner at top" is logical, I get it, but it made me loose track.
I think years back, these would be 4070 cards. 2nd tier 70 series are two thirds cheaper. NVIDIA is fixing the market. The build of them looks good, but worth the same as RTX 4090? No thank you! I want to see what happens when 7900XTX comes out!
The only way that'll change is either if AMD competes properly or people stop buying the product at the prices that Nvidia sets. We'll have to wait and see if that's going to change I guess?
They did admit to fixing the market during their investor call. Its a good time for team blue and AMD. Nvidia feels like they have no competition so hopefully the consumer and competition proves them wrong!
It's a bit like comparing the MSI Suprim model against a MSI Gaming TRIO X. Almost the same performance, but cosmetic upgrades with the Suprim. Minimal cost difference in any case.
I always wish reviews would compare the ASUS version and the MSI version of these cards, because comparing them by finding some other reviewer who has done testing sightly different yield very different results making it harder for us the consumers to figure out which brand to go with 🤔
I find it extremely funny that with 4000-series 70-80c hotspot (by some) is considered "bad", when last gen had 100c+ :D. With 4090's, get the absolute cheapest one you can find.
The push to make more profit each year to satisfied their share holder is driving NVIDIA to go insane with the price hike. Idem for those second hand manufacturers. Some competition is truly needed indeed! Very nice review as usual. I like the warning to wait for AMD. It will probably by poor in ray tracing but the rasterisation (normal FPS) may be competitive at a lower price. Your pal Coco the clown.
I tried to overclock my Zotac cheapo version 4090 with a hard fixed 450w limit which it never hits anyway, added 1000 to memory and got the core just under 2900 mhz and on Dying Light 2 fully maxed with RT and DLSS I gained 3fps 🤣. I'm just going to run it at stock needless to say. I just don't get these crazy priced models. I expect 5fps at 4k mostly to a 3000mhz gpu with vram OC so why bother. My basic Zotac runs at 64c with silent fans at 1200rpm and costs near msrp as most people don't want it. The 4080 won't be any different I would guess, I'll watch the vid and see.
Cool so there is basically no reason to buy the more expensive AIB versions. Glad I went with the FE. I can OC it to 3GHz anyway for that extra 4 frames that I'm definitely going to notice.
Just bought the 4080 TUF OC that was on-sale this weekend for $1100 flat. So bought that card instead of the 4080 strix which was still at the $1580 - $1650 range. I think that was a steal. Plan to build next week. Anyone with the TUF OC Card can provide me some feedback on how they like it?
Those tiny performance gains really shine light on how much Nvidia is doing the third party vendors dirty. If they start shipping with more refined reference coolers they're just gonna squeeze everyone out, same as EVGA.
Prices are terrible in The Netherlands unfortunately, and limited supply as well, both Asus TUF and ROG Strix are 1900 ~2000 euro's here, the cheapest ones are actually Palit, Zotac and Gigabyte at 1600 ~ 1700 euros. I'm going to wait it out a bit until December, see what AMD will release by then and keep an eye on the Nvidia prices and stock supply.
@@sinaraini8473 None on her sample, I just bought earlier this year my RTX 4080 ROG Strix Gaming OC to replace a dying RTX 3060 and I have no coil whine :-)
Personally, I went with TUF OC. Strix OC was only a hair more expensive, but I could not stand their pre-teen design on that card. I hit the chip lottery also so my TUF OC ended at top 25 in disposition pretty easily.

7 months later and the TUF card is still $1200 on Amazon. During Prime Days, they only lowered the price $46 from the original price. People need to vote with their wallets and not buy these cards from Nvidia until the prices come down. Force them to make them come down.
@@Arleys617 4090 was overkill for me. I was getting beyond 144fps at 4k. Way too much for my setup. Sht I was getting like 400 fps at 4k in re 2 and like 170fps in god of war and 170 fps in dying light 2 max RTX. I would have kept my 4090 if I planned on keeping it for 4 years and had a 4k 240hz monitor
Coil whine is sample and even setup specific. Just because someone else had it doesn’t it affects mine. Coil whine would also show as a much higher noise level :)
I totally agree Robert, My Tuf 4080 whines really bad, but is performing pretty much as reviewed here. I find it really disappointing that these reviewers won't even mention whine. I was surprised that both my 3070ti and tuf 4080oc whine about the same. (and here I am doing the same thing).....
As much as I would love to go amd gpu but with vr sim racing I will not make the mistake twice. Like anything want good stuff you pay for it. 4090 on order for me yes more money but less drama overall all with a beast of performance that no amd card can match other then price. This has been this way since 2010. Great review tho
In some benchmarks, last gen AMD GPU isn't that much worse than 4080 in non-RT games, not to mention value (price). Hopefully they'll deliver on RDNA3 as advertised. Don't forget to test it with PG27AQN (G-Sync ON) just to make sure these two can be paired without drawbacks.
@@bryzeer5075 Assuming for a moment that your numbers aren't taken from thin air / prediction: 7900XTX is "up to +50% performance" in non RT + didn't mention upscaling from FSR + assuming DLSS 3 includes frame generation = apples to oranges. I don't care about RT, and for now neither about fake frames from DLSS 3. Sure, DLSS seems better than FSR as of now, NVENC is also useful and some may need Cuda cores, but none of this is worth paying that much more.
@@bryzeer5075 So they specifically reference non-RT gaming, and you *still* spout performance numbers with RT on 🤨And with DLSS 3.0 too, which many will be keeping off
Your comments were the nicest I have experienced with regard to Price Point on the RTX4080. Most all Channels here on You Tube are Blasting Nvidia for their pricing structure. Zero Availability on the 4090 not including Scalper Prices and once the 4080 sells through there will be no restock until January. Sheesh.
Getting my ROG 4080 OC later today. Paid close to 1800$ US here in VN….and I don’t complain. Many “A” brand flagship products are overpriced. It is what it is.
They all whine just Asus cherry picked better cards for reviewers and send them to test. Der8auer actually bought both cards and have terrible coil whine on 4080 (not on 4090 strix tho)
You can but it is seriously not recommended. The card and cable is smart enough to tell if you do that and will purposely lower the power consumption. But it is just not safe for the card or powersupply.
Again, Nvidia controls how these cards perform. They will perform similarly. With the ROG strix, you're just paying for the looks, maybe a bit of temps/sound but even the base model runs cool and silent. In my opinion there's too many unnecessary stuff they put there so they can justify the price increase. Also I think the 4080s don't need a very large heatsink.
Judging from the comments on the 4090 videos, a lot of people just really like the Strix and want to pay for it as well. But I agree for a lower tier card a cheaper version just makes more sense.
@@TechTesters yeah it looks great, I like the design too. but buying an ROG strix 4080 is not practical especially if it's priced very near an RTX 4090. Better get the 4090 instead. In the first place the 4080 is overpriced considering its predecessor started at $699.
Note: The summary graphs from 8:55 and on incorrectly say "4090" instead of 4080. Obviously these apply to these RTX 4080 cards.

I would have kept my 4090 if I planned on keeping it for 4 years and had a 4k 240hz monitor
@@2buckgeo843 Ah ok gotcha, makes senses. Debating if I wanna keep the card or get the 7900 XTX now
What about the coil whine? The Strix has horrible coil whine, but you did not mention it. How about the TUF card?
Coil whine is sample and even setup specific. Just because someone else had it doesn’t it affects mine. Coil whine would also show as a much higher noise level :)
I totally agree Robert, My Tuf 4080 whines really bad, but is performing pretty much as reviewed here. I find it really disappointing that these reviewers won't even mention whine. I was surprised that both my 3070ti and tuf 4080oc whine about the same. (and here I am doing the same thing).....
@@CamanoJohn
Did you rma the card ? Mine 4080 tuf whines like a bee.
As much as I would love to go amd gpu but with vr sim racing I will not make the mistake twice. Like anything want good stuff you pay for it. 4090 on order for me yes more money but less drama overall all with a beast of performance that no amd card can match other then price. This has been this way since 2010. Great review tho
In some benchmarks, last gen AMD GPU isn't that much worse than 4080 in non-RT games, not to mention value (price). Hopefully they'll deliver on RDNA3 as advertised. Don't forget to test it with PG27AQN (G-Sync ON) just to make sure these two can be paired without drawbacks.
Cyberpunk 2077:
7900xtx gets 21fps
4080 gets 100fps+
Both 4k, Ultra, Ultra RT. 4080 using DLSS3.
@@bryzeer5075 where did you see 7900XTX benchmarks?
@@bryzeer5075 Assuming for a moment that your numbers aren't taken from thin air / prediction: 7900XTX is "up to +50% performance" in non RT + didn't mention upscaling from FSR + assuming DLSS 3 includes frame generation = apples to oranges.
I don't care about RT, and for now neither about fake frames from DLSS 3. Sure, DLSS seems better than FSR as of now, NVENC is also useful and some may need Cuda cores, but none of this is worth paying that much more.
@@bryzeer5075 So they specifically reference non-RT gaming, and you *still* spout performance numbers with RT on 🤨And with DLSS 3.0 too, which many will be keeping off
@@bryzeer5075 All I know is Nvidia will not get a fucking dime from me this time. Cheers.
I got a used 4080 strip off marketplace place for $1190 usd. $1800 aud.
There has been report’s of coil wine on the strix, did you notice any?
None on her sample.
Your comments were the nicest I have experienced with regard to Price Point on the RTX4080. Most all Channels here on You Tube are Blasting Nvidia for their pricing structure. Zero Availability on the 4090 not including Scalper Prices and once the 4080 sells through there will be no restock until January. Sheesh.
shouldn't thumbnail image be "ROG vs TUF"?
4080 or not to 4080 in the new system.. that's the question :D
This better than 3090ti or?
Yes.
20% faster than 3090ti on average in 4K, with 3070 level of power consumption on gaming load, very efficient unlike 4090
Getting my ROG 4080 OC later today. Paid close to 1800$ US here in VN….and I don’t complain. Many “A” brand flagship products are overpriced. It is what it is.
If you're OK with the price, that's completely fine. Enjoy a great card!
Hey thanks for supporting Nvidia 70% price hike over the last gen RTX 3080 you must be proud!
@@Battleneter , my shares don’t mind :)
@@ceevee369 Well Nvidia will sell a lot less but sure :P
I recently bought Aorus RTX 3070 for 1080p 165Hz gaming. I'll be skipping 4000 price insanity for sure.
Cringe and not waiting for 7900xtx thats going to blow your 8gb 1080p low end card to hell
@@johnnyboogalo4897 I'm upgrading to 7900 XTX from 3080 for 4K and VR.

@@Drix7 what did u if u think a 3070 will out perform the new 7900 xtx lol
why upgrade to 40 series for 1080p? lmao
I have a Tuf 6800XT, which weight 1.7Kg. I think it's ridiculously heavy for a graphics card. Only this new gen Strix 4080 is 2.3Kg. Oh bad.
It really need the vertical mount now at that weight 🫢
just like my lenovo legion gaming laptop huh
A 4090 no matter what tier will smash any 4080 in performance!
I got the tuf oc because normal tuf wasn’t in stock and i wanted 2x hdmi 2.1s
How is it ? It feels good ?
And what about coil whine on both models? Asus TUF 3070 is very noisy in my case. I don`t want to play this lottery anymore
That is usually sample, application and even other hardware (like psu) specific. So no issues with mine, but it can happen to any card
They all whine just Asus cherry picked better cards for reviewers and send them to test. Der8auer actually bought both cards and have terrible coil whine on 4080 (not on 4090 strix tho)
Can I run the 4080 with just 2 8pin connectors connected to the adapter?
I havent tried it.
You can but it is seriously not recommended. The card and cable is smart enough to tell if you do that and will purposely lower the power consumption. But it is just not safe for the card or powersupply.
Again, Nvidia controls how these cards perform. They will perform similarly. With the ROG strix, you're just paying for the looks, maybe a bit of temps/sound but even the base model runs cool and silent. In my opinion there's too many unnecessary stuff they put there so they can justify the price increase. Also I think the 4080s don't need a very large heatsink.
right. and cant even overclock really :/
Judging from the comments on the 4090 videos, a lot of people just really like the Strix and want to pay for it as well. But I agree for a lower tier card a cheaper version just makes more sense.
@@TechTesters yeah /; i have a 3070ti strix rn, but strix on the new cards seams like a waste of cash
@@TechTesters yeah it looks great, I like the design too. but buying an ROG strix 4080 is not practical especially if it's priced very near an RTX 4090. Better get the 4090 instead. In the first place the 4080 is overpriced considering its predecessor started at $699.
i took my 4080 strix apart and painted mine
