GALAX Introduces GeForce RTX 5080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X Flagship Card

[T0@st]

GALAX has introduced its new-generation Hall of Fame (HOF) graphics card to the Chinese hardware market. This ultra high-end custom design is based on NVIDIA's brand new "Blackwell" GeForce RTX 5080 GPU—this (almost) all-white model is adorned with a signature "Plus-X" crown-like structure, loudly proclaiming (via ARGB) its placement in GALAX's product stack. Several press outlets have expressed disappointment about the Hong Kong-based manufacturer not selecting GeForce RTX 5090D internals for their first unveiling of new HOF designs in 2025. According to a weekend VideoCardz report, the GALAX GeForce RTX 5080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X Edition model houses a striking white 12-layer PCB, with a 14+6+6 phase power design. Additionally, the card features a 70A high-current DR-MOS power stage. GALAX's previous-gen GeForce RTX 4080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X design sported two 16-pin power connectors—in contrast, its successor is reliant on a single 16-pin input.

A dedicated product page—with full specifications—has not appeared on the manufacturer's website, so VideoCardz guesstimated the card's maximum TDP rating. 400 W could be the default power, as seen on many AIB model spec sheets. GALAX has specced its latest HOF OC LAB Plus-X Edition with a dual BIOS system—their overclocked "P-Mode" takes the boost clock up to 2730 MHz. The card's air cooling solution consists of two 102 mm fans, positioned either side of a central 92 mm unit—the GALAX "Frost Ring Blades" are advertised as offering quiet operation, combined with maximizing air flow. GALAX has—once again—implemented its "Hyper Boost" system—the triple-fan cooling solution can be set to operate at maximum RPMs; enabled via an I/O bracket-mounted switch. The manufacturer has seemingly taken inspiration from ZOTAC—GALAX's new model sports a Safety Light-esque error detection system. The GeForce RTX 5080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X Edition is not available for sale in China, at the time of writing.

Wow, now that, is a beautiful PCB.

Not a fan of the cooling design, but to each his own.

Apart from the tiny 5060Ti size chip

Can't wait for @buildzoid to jizz on this.

Yes well, now we just need to wait two more generations going forward, so that an xx30 SKU can sell as a xx80. The snake leatherjacket man is hard at work on making that a reality, all for a mere price of $5000.
