For anyone watching this review after the fact, the power connector issue was solved. It's not a bend that can cause the connector to fail and potentially catch fire, it's improperly connecting it that's the problem. You must fully seat it--push it in all the way. The problems only occur when it's just partially connected, so don't let that concern deter you. Simply ensure you connect it fully until the latch engages and you'll be good-to-go. 👍
In the price range, the price almost doesn't matter which of the two cards you want. But I chose the 4080 because of the lower power consumption
I've seen my Gigabyte RTX4080 OC 16GB hit 2850Mhz at the most, it's a great card for 4k gaming, very happy with mine. Cheers
Picking mine up Saturday. Thanks for the review bro.
Thanks for great review and that shot of the GPU compared to the Logitech MXKeys keyboard was very helpful as I could use my MXKeys as a measuring stick with my case !
You can buy 90 degree alloy adaptors facing either up or down, depending on your setup, the adaptors allow for no bend in the cable at all plugging into the GPU. Cheers
I have this exact gigabyte rtx 4080 gaming oc incoming
rumor has it that 3rd party radeon 7900 xtx will cost just as much as their RTX 4080 equivalents.. we'll see I guess.
Nice card i ended with with the msi trio 4080
The support bracket is not compatible with all motherboards. Case in point, I own the Asus ROG STRIX X670E-I and the bracket is no compatible due to the unique USB-C I/O adapter on the lower right edge of the motherboard. I ended up having to use a third party support leg :(
"FIRES!" and my DELL 8950 1000W will be leaving 0mm for air space being right against it. Can try or Return.
I've had a very, very hard time deciding which 4080 I want. I really wanted the Aorus Master or the Asus Rog Strix. but They are significantly more and the extra 1fps isnt worth it to me. Now I'm stuck between this Gigabyte Gaming OC 4080 and the MSI Gaming X trio 4080. the MSI is like $31 more than the Gigabyte. I will be ordering one of them next wednesday. I really like the 4090 but the power consumption is nuts. At least I wont have to worry about it fitting or not. My Fractal is massive.
It doesn't feel like a Glitched video without Kiara terrorizing the tech
Hello friend! At what price do you have 4080 now, is it possible to send me to Russia?
The fires is cus of bad insertion rather than the bend
When he said 34000.. I had a heart attack
Whats the main difference between the OC and the Eagle?
When can i use DLSS 3.0 with CP2077 ? bought a 4080 and i dont see the option...
actually the 4090 has better price to performance than the 4080. It is faster than the 4080 is cheaper
