Something like an Asus TUF 4080 ... has a more open case design with three fans, so possibly slightly better cooling.
The Asus GPU Tweak software is handy.
Quite whether their "military grade capacitors" are better than FE is debatable.
I ended up getting the sapphire 7900xtx nitro+

Good card man, enjoy!
I'm sure that's a great card ... I hope the AMD display drivers are more stable for you than they were for me.
Does anybody use an Anti Sag Bracket with their RTX 4080? I am thinking of buying an ASUS RTX 4080 but concerned about the weight of the card. I see Overclokers sell this, should I add one of these to my shopping list?

Launch drivers for AMD can be a bit iffy sometimes but they do settle down (from my experience).

Found a 450w BIOS that will work with SKU 301 cards https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/250821/zotac-rtx4080-16384-221017
Due to how effecient the 4080s are and the fact you'll likely need to volt mod to really take advantage of 450w, regular gaming is not going to need this
Still, just to prove it works.

While it won't do much extra if you have a SKU 301 card like me there is a 460w BIOS, so 10w more than above https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/255666/255666
If you have the other SKU (I think its 300), there is a 470w BIOS here https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/255338/255338
The 300 SKU can also run the 1000w BIOS https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/255340/255340, but unless you are volt modding and doing professional OCing that's just total overkill.

Dusty window aside, the Founders is such a lovely card. Expensive, sure. But the performance is there, the features are there and it runs really well (and more importantly much quieter and cooler than my previous 2080ti). Great bit of kit

How are you finding it?

Ok so far. Transferred everything from the old Corsair case to this new Phanteks case and its great.
Power draw is a bit more than the 4070 but much less then the 3080 i had before that.
My wife lent me the cash to buy the card so when ive paid her back ill drop a 5800X3D and jobs a good un.
Will be a lovely set up. Enjoy.

My second hand FE 4080 has been fitted....
fitted with a 65cm Corsair type 4 braided plug for the connection to the PSU, seemed to cut down a lot of the cables etc.
Seems fine when fitted vertically, a lot less weight on the PCIe slot, even wit ha GPU support when in horizontal mode.

I'm not the first to fit an RTX 4080 FE in a NR200P MAX case in this thread but I did add an LCD side panel for a twist. Asrock eDP enabled board + 13.3" LCD panel kit used.

There is a new version of NVFlash out that lets you bypass mismatched ID https://www.overclock.net/threads/n...ies-including-founders-edition-cards.1807438/
If you've seen my posts earlier in this topic you'll know there are a few board SKU IDs for the 4080. FE and some other cards even have a lower voltage lock at the top end and this results in trouble flashing a new BIOS with higher max power draw. Above NVFlash fixes this, anyone with a FE card can now flash pretty much any BIOS from techpowerup 4080 BIOS list.
I've tested this on my card, even flashing the 1000w BIOS I couldn't before due to mismatch ID https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/255340/255340
I heard you like cooking your core
673w power draw lol. This BIOS also allows voltage up to 1.195mv 
More sensibly though this new version of NVFlash is great for anyone with lower locked voltages and/or those who can't get off 320w-ish BIOSes. You can find a lot of 400~470w BIOS on techpowerup that might let you eek out some more performance if you have good cooling.

So I have the ventus 4080 oc. I deshrouded it and run 2x120mm fans on it at max 1350 rpm. At 100% pl it's never over 67c at 80% it's never over 61c.There is a new version of NVFlash out that lets you bypass mismatched ID https://www.overclock.net/threads/n...ies-including-founders-edition-cards.1807438/

Is there any benefit to flashing these bioses to then power limit them?
probably not if you intend to keep the power limits in place, running an undervolt would make more sense in that situation.
