Review of 4080, i've had it since launch.

This card is much better than people let on, if you have a look at user benchmarks, you can see that is actually a lot better than the 7900 XTX, especsially if you use ray tracing, where this card can shoot ahead by up to 59%. With the lowest settings it can get anywhere from 700-1000 fps on fornite, and is great for 4k gaming. I loved this card and I am sad to say bye upgrading to the 4080 SUPER, it is a beast of a card, excels in raytracing 4k gaming, can easily max out ultra settings 4k@144hz games, and with g-sync, DLSS 3 and frame generation, there is no reason apart from cost and VRAM, to not go for this card over the 7900 XTX, It is better for singleplayer games with excellent graphics, than competitive games, in which i probaly would go with the XTX, but i've never had any doubts with this card, never caused any problems, and with fps gains like NVDcleanstall, and GeForce experience automatic tuning, this card is a beast, trading blows with goliaths such as the XTX and 4070 Ti Supers, It only fails in the midst of the SUPER edition, and the behemoth which is the 4090.
Pros
- Ray tracing performance is amazing
- Mass amount of shading units
- DLSS 3
- Frame Generation
- G-Sync
- High clock speeds
- Ada lovelace architecture
- Easy PSU connector
Cons
- VRAM is less than that of the XTX
- Price is a bit too much

What a price for this

Way too expensive for its performance, plus it consumes a lot of power and it's too loud for my liking, I prefer the 4060. Much cheaper and quieter for not a huge difference apart from the price.
