On a positive note, at least 4080 is not the actual price.

You deserve millions of subs. Your videos are always 10/10

Just picked one of these up to go in my white build. Perfectly matches my gigabyte z690 aero D. Got it for 200 under MSRP, still not a great price, but I'm happy with it. It's a gorgeous card.

Thanks for the review, really helps with all the information, and I'm excited to slot this into a white build I did a month ago for the wife which is still using her old GTX980.

I managed to snag a new one on Christmas Day for $2089AU, through an eBay special from Computer Alliance, which is just over $400AU cheaper than the current RRP. It made sense for me, when my alternative was a Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX (not white, but a close silver) for the same price, with questionable delivery times, and roughly the same performance (minus RT).

I must say, if you chose to build in white, like my wife has requested, the GPU/MB makers really do have you over a barrel. They're charging on average 20% more for exactly the same hardware in a different colour. I understand it's a volume/cost thing, but I could absolutely guarantee you if one board partners decided to swap their entire line to white, they would corner the market if they kept the prices real.

First Aero that looks good imo. Im really into white cards so thats the first 4080 i take into consideration.

Today, my local gigabyte distributors dropped their prices for 4080 20%! WOW /s, now its at US MSRP! AMAZING PRICE /s, still NAH...Further to that, the other brands can shove it up their hind if they want to maintain prices

These are on sale for $1799 AUD for the next couple days, think it might be time to pull the tigger. The Gigabyte card's seem to be the coolest running air cooled 4080's out there while still looking good

My Aussie lady Klaire ….. oh yeah and my boi Nick coming in with another great video

You're absolutely right about Nvidia taking the piss out of us with their pricing. Anyone who buys one of the 40 series cards with their current pricing needs to give their head a wobble.

Why didn't they release a 4090 of this? I would've bought it in an instant.

[light]

It's frustrating they don't bring it on the 4090 line, I would have bought it.

[TheOMT]

I never thought a graphics card would be on the lotto wish list :/

Congratulations on 200K subs! Well done! 🥳

I LOVE the 4080 for its power consumption to performance ratio, but that price? god almighty

[iamChermac]

I love the fact that you undertake testing on Linux! Really appreciated.

[noGiddish]

I play on speakers for most part 🤣 5.1 surround sound hehe.

[SirWolf]

I love these reviews. Informative enough and honest.

[Dazeski]

Just picked one of these up for £800, good deal at that price? Having second thoughts about reselling for a 4090...

[neilg]

My like isnt for the card. It's for Mr Cole standing up to NVidia saying they are taking the piss with pricing. Greedy scumbags.

Gear Seekers congrats on 200, 000 subs. I love your content, I watch at least one of your videos every day.

Hey, Linux data! Thanks sir, much appreciated :)
