It doesnt. Only with DLSS trickery. Without its 20% slower than a 3090 and only 10% faster than the 3080. When was the last generation that offered you a 10% increase for £100 more than the old card from 2 years ago?

The 4080 12gb is a lemon. Without DLSS 3, Nvidia would have released it as a 3060ti or 3070 at the very best and priced it accordingly.
Well, I reserve judgment until the offical reviews are out. It might be a good overclocker for example.

Anyone considering the trash 4080s, don't bother.

No one wants a 4080 at that price

Embarrassing bad, if AMD don't sell more cards then the mindshare is real. Their 4070 and 4060 are going to be majorly weak.

It all becomes clear...launch with the 4090 because every card below it is crap, appalling value and overpriced compared to the 30xx cards they're replacing.

See Raven's link. Thats pretty much as people expect the lemon 4080 gimped card to be. Dont get me wrong, it might have been a solid buy at £500-£600 but since AIB card ares all going to be £1000+ I really dont wee why people wouldnt buy a 3090ti at £899.

When was the last time a nn70 card outperformed a previous gen nn90 card? As the 4080 12GB is actually a 4070 right?
The TSMC node makes it look better against the rubbish previous gen samsung 8NM but when you compare its performance against a 4090 on the same node its actually between a 4060 and 4060ti as the 60 class cards are usually half the performance of the 80ti / 90 cards.

Is the max power limit 660W for the 4090 FE? Has anyone seen tests raising the power limit to max and undetvolting / setting custom curves?

Der Bauer tested different power limits but didn't seem to tweak the VF curve for max clocks at the highest power.
