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?

 

[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

 

[smogsy]

dont see any FE 4090 about and rest are 1900+.

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

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
