The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 review by digitalfoundry: a superb product with strong performance and features - but we can't ignore the value problem.
There's going to be a lot of criticism aimed at Nvidia's new RTX 4080 but it's important to stress that there is nothing wrong with the Founders Edition we are reviewing today in terms of its construction, features and overall quality. Just like the RTX 4090, it's a quality product created by a company that's arguably at the top of its game, a firm at the pioneering forefront of graphics technology. Pricing is a different matter, however.
The Founders Edition we're looking at today arrives in the same packaging as the RTX 4090 and in the same excellent casing. The only difference is that while the same controversial 12VHPWR socket is on the card but this time you get a dongle adapter with just three eight-pin PCIe inputs. That's still more than enough, bearing in mind that the much more power-hungry RTX 3090 Ti shipped with the same adapter - and the RTX 4090 worked with it too.
In the table below, you'll see how the RTX 4080 compares to its flagship partner and it's fair to say that the cutbacks are big - wider and deeper than the specs differential we saw between RTX 3090 and RTX 3080. You're getting around 59 percent of the compute power, 73 percent of the memory bandwidth and two thirds of the VRAM.
