I own a 4080 & game on a m32u 4k 144hz monitor. I LOVE gaming at 4k & mostly, the 4080 allows me to game between 90hz-144hz. Sometime I use "High" instead of Ultra & honestly can't tell the difference. Thanks for the video man

[TheRealFloc]

I play all my games at 4k with a 4k display obviously and rarely do I run into major performance issues. A few games have been challenging and I had to drop some shadows or something but more or less I can run it with high or better settings. Now I’m not smashing 100+ fps but honestly it looks incredibly smooth and the picture quality is great with 70 - 90 fps. Great video Erock!

The 4080 is a solid 4K GPU. It can run the majority of demanding AAA games at native 4K max settings at 60+ FPS. However, if you want to do native 4K max settings with RT at 60+ FPS, the 4090 is the only GPU that can currently do that in quite a few games. The 4090 is the only GPU that handles RT without any compromises. Any other GPU using RT means having to compromise, such as using upscaling/Frame Gen or lowering the settings.

I went team red, 7900XTX but I didn't do it to win a pissing contest. The 4080 is the chosen challenger for the 7900XTX according to AMD. I can confirm, there aren't many titles I can't run at 4K. Most of the ones I couldn't run at 4K at launch got patched in a month or two so I could. Games can't be confused with movies. You don't go play a game once on opening weekend, then never look back. That's the reason most of us game.

I can't recommend a 4080 because I didn't buy one. I'm not about to bad mouth it either. if 4080 was the caliber of card you were going for, it's the one you should have bought.

[nix-it]

I feel like people underestimate the 4080 because of the performance gap between it and the 4090, compared to the 3080 and 3090 which are pretty close in performance. But that's just due to the limitations of Ampere; cramming in more wattage for a few extra frames.

If you think about it, the numbers make sense. The 4090 is equivalent to two 3080s, and the 4080 is equivalent to two 3070s. This way there's room for a hypothetical 4080 Ti to be put in the middle, which would mean 15% more performance per-tier, and that sounds fair to me. I don't get why people were bashing on it saying it's not a true 80-Class card, and that the 4090 is the only true next-gen GPU.

The only thing wrong here is that the price ain't right, but that's obvious already.

Regardless, my experience with the 4080 FE using DLSS 3 has been fantastic, and is definitely worthy of being called a 4K GPU.

4080 is perfectly fine. DLSS quality isn’t even a noticeable difference unless you are really looking for it. 4K/60 in all games. I’m even fine with using FG in certain games if I have to, which so far is only Cyberpunk and Starfield with the DLSS FG mod. I don’t see many games giving the 4080 issues until next generation unless they are poorly optimized, which unfortunately happens all too often these days. But in that case a game isn’t worth my time or money until it gets fixed and by that time it will likely be on sale lol.

Interesting to see a few years ago the 1080Ti was considered a 4K card, graphics are evolving and we aren't going to leave 4K soon, looks like 1440p will be the new 1080p and 4K still be hard to run unless you get the most expensive cards. But honestly the real important thing is to have fun.. I remember finishing CP 2077 playing 1080p fsr with only 25-35fps and genuinely had fun..

[projectcrca]

Ever since the 4080 launched I thought the performance was awesome. The 4080 is a great card in terms of specs and performance. The only thing that was holding the it back was and still is the price. If it launched at $999 I think it would of been a banger especially against the RX 7900 XTX for the same price. Great video as always my guy. I'm looking forward more reviews.

[WSS_the_OG]

But wait. Nvidia told us the 2080 Ti was a 4K card, and that the 3080 was an 8k card. Were they ... exaggerating by chance?

[shasha]

4080 is a very strong card, hopefully, it will cost less than $1000 during the upcoming holidays

I bought my 4k monitor months ahead of the rest of my build, in anticipation of upgrading, to avoid the financial hit all at once. So, for many months, I ran a 4k monitor driven only by a RTX 2070. I expected I would just have to run everything at a lower res, but it actually performed much better than I anticipated. Most every game from 2018 and earlier, ran at native 4k without issue, and most graphically intensive games from 2018 & onward had DLSS, which at least made 4k 60 fps possible on the 2070. I have a RTX 4090 now, and it's literally 4x the performance. But I reject the notion that a less capable card can't do 4k, as I got by for months on only a 2070, even if it wasn't ideal.

[fpshooterful]

I am like you for my targeted FPS overall, at least for 1440p. I too usually aim for 120fps. For me, my goal is just to stay above 100fps overall. 90ish FPS i can sorta handle. But, anything below 90fps i can start telling the difference in FPS performance. Especially once i start getting to 60fps range, thats when everything starts looking stuttery for me.

I usually have to be a mix of ULTRA to High graphic settings, in order to stay 120fps range with my 3080 @ 1440p 165hz. I truly see the benefits with my 165hz monitor, once i start staying around the 100 to 120fps mark.

[Antonis]

Even taking the inflation in mind, the RTX 4080 should have cost max. 850 USD. Setting that aside, it is definitely a 4K GPU, even without using DLSS.

[dioscur]

Just bought it in SUPER version to replace 3080 10GB for 1440p ultrawide 21:9 monitor. I was criticized due to "slow" i5 11400f processor, but to be honest I think people are fixed on high fps, but what I WANT is stable 60+ RT ultra or high/ultra experience. Man, people are playing console games 30fps and I can play them 60-90fps ultrawide and add DLSS or/and Frame Gen on top of that, THAT IS AWESOME <big smile>

[takehirolol]

Well, seems that nobody wants to acknowledge that there are phases in gaming that it is determined by the consoles and engines.

We just started the 2nd phase of this era with UE5.

[SalvationCode]

Also important to take into account regional price differences between the two GPUs. Most people from NA say "just get the 4090" as if they're talking about a 50-100 dollar difference. In my country, the difference between a 4080 and a 4090 in retail markets is (still) a whole 500-600 euros.

Making the choice to upgrade from my 2060 to the 4080 was super easy. The performance jump is pretty insane.

[jemborg]

The quality of comments in your section is high. You have really good followers it seems. I subbed, hope I don't bring down the average 😁

[mypeeps]

I have both the 4080 and 3080 systems side by side and love both. I play a lot of sims and single player @ 4k 60+fps on 2 Alienware ultra wides and love it. Not thrilled with the 3080's 10gig vram, but with minor tweaks has not been as big a deal as I first thought, for now? I have a gigabyte 4080 also and my experience is spot on with yours. The 4090 was $400 plus more at the time of purchase, but was way more than I wanted to spend. I may get a 5090 to replace the 3080 or skip next gen altogether, not sure? How my grandsons age into the online gaming eco systems will let me know what and when to pull the trigger. Because of their age they are only allowed to play on weekends right now. They must learn the value of work ethic and education first. Take care.

Got my 4080 super for 940 dollar here in the states, love it.
