tempted by noctua 4080

[smogsy]

seen a small discount on noctua 4080. always wanted the noctua edition of a GPU as i love extreme quiet

its 1300 think its worth from 3090 at 1440p?

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

I'd spend a few pesos more and get a 4090FE, especially coming from a 3090.

They're already very quiet, and will last you longer than a 4080.

Plus in my opinion look and are built better.

 

[smogsy]

ideally want to go down in power consumption for quiet operation 350w -> 320w is nice difference
plus noctua but ill look at prices of 4090

If you're spending that much spend a little more and get a RTX 4090.

Doesn't sound all that for the money. Wouldn't you be better off just undervolting/power limiting a normal card?

"Our apples-to-apples cooler comparison test confirms that the ASUS Noctua heatsink with eight heatpipes is a really good design that tops our charts. However, the differences are really small. The MSI RTX 4080 Suprim actually ends up slightly better in that test, and the ASUS STRIX is really close, too. These results prove that there is no magic here, the heatsink is excellent, but other companies could build something comparable, it's not impossible. The ASUS RTX 4080 Noctua isn't just a good heatsink though, it also has good fan settings that are optimized for low noise levels. What's also very important is that the GPU is running close to its maximum efficiency point, with reasonable clock/power and voltage settings. While other cards run at higher voltage and power limit to eke out the last bits of performance from RTX 4080, ASUS focused on efficiency with their card, which makes perfect sense."

ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 Noctua OC Review - Next-Level Quiet

ASUS x Noctua is back! This time the GeForce RTX 4080 gets the low-noise treatment, with impressive results. Testing in our review confirms that even at full load, running at 4K with more than 60 FPS, the card is nearly inaudible! We measured less than 24 dBA, which is quieter than the room...

30% faster for 1300? Not a great deal that, no.

3090 is alread undervolted to 0.800v 1800mhz, but its a msi gaming x trio and i find quiet loud

4080 is roughly 40% faster than the 3090 (both at normal clocks). Depends if that's worth £750/800 to you...
