The card is definitely gorgeous, albeit I might skirt away from the colour.

But one thing this video really brought home for me, and that's how good this desk set-up and format for "on screen" reviews is now. It definitely shines and great use of a large monitor.

Colorful has been making some pretty nice improvements to their brand rep via quality build and design lifts, but it seems the crappy slogans are still around

Love how much thought was put into the clean wiring and rgb control. Fantastic looking card!

The sad thing is, this card will probably cost more than FE 4090, and it doesn't really need to be water-cooled.

I'm still glad you guys still show 1080p numbers.

Thanks for including the 6950XT in the benchmarks. I'm definitely waiting for the 7900 XT/XTX cards to upgrade my RTX 3070. I'm running a 3840 x 1600 ultrawide and need a little more power. I'll take the hit to ray tracing if I don't have to play into Nvidia's BS. Nvidia clearly has nothing but contempt for their customers and they're clearly living in the crypto-fueled past.

You guys need to put B roll behind the graphs. I'd like to see more of the card installed and powered up.

I'll definitely get one for my white build in my O11 dynamic. GPU on top/exhaust, CPU on side intake and bottom intake. Will look fantastic.

I belive the reason why they are chosing 360mm AIO over 240mm is by looks, not performance. If you think about it, most of the newest cases are treating 3x120mm fans sizes as "requested" to mantein a good-looking build. The popular Lian-Li cases are almost must-have to this type of radiator suport.

The "What's your game" slogan, I thought that's Galax? I know because I have a Galax RTX 2070 EX and it has that exact slogan on its side

As someone who lives in south east Asia I was able to pick this card up for the same price as a regular 4080 today… so far I love it, very premium product and to me, worth the money, coming from a 1080ti…. It’s night and day different.

32 fps on cyberpunk !! One day we're gonna get there, one day

I'm either gonna wait until the 5000 series, or wait until some decent price cuts. My Asus TUF 3080 is gonna do me well for a while yet. These cards are just TOO expensive.

Jay you should give Steve from GN coverage for the excellent work he's done on the 12V power plug investigations, it's the least you could do

[SkyChady]

White radiator makes dust build up more easily visible.

[NovaRedHead]

With the size of the rad on the card. If space isn't a constraint in your case, using a 240 over a 360 doesn't seem logical. A 240mm rad will make an extra hole for air to pass around the rad, nothing else but a 120mm fan will fit there. It might as well be a 360 for that reason.. Smaller form factor cases would benefit from a 240 rather than a 360 but for a larger case it's wasted space

[chrisbullock]

I learned a long time ago, with these AIO cards its much more about having the flexibility of having a silent or air flow restricted PC and still having manageable temps. no matter where you live or the type of case you have and less about actually getting more frames.

[caloss]

Anyone else think the 40xx series pricing is partly set where it is to help clear the 30xx series overstock ?

[prxZen]

It makes sense that the "card" and shroud is _much_ smaller than the FE and most other variants. There is no "local" cooler, extra long to facilitate airflow passthrough.

Meaning no need to make weird, detrimental compromises when engineers designed the PCB - just a good quality, reasonably dense PCB design and layout developed with watercooling in mind.

Love the look... Wish AIBs selling in the U.S. would do more adventurous stuff like this. I doubt I'll be able to find this card in the U.S.
