Could you help on which 4080 super to buy plz?

[dassan]

Hello guys, i wanna buy 4080 super and i have 2 options:
1. GALAX GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER SG 1-Click OC (1300 USD)
2. ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER OC (1550 USD)
And between these two, there s like 250 USD difference at price (Asus one is expensive). Asus one is more durable and futureproof considering "i dont wanna change my gpu again for like 3-4 years" or it wud be ok to buy Galax one also?
And one more thing these are the prices of 4070ti super also:
1. GALAX GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER SG 1-Click OC (1030 USD)
2.ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC (1440 USD)
4080 super worth the price difference? Which one u wud buy guys? Thx for helping

In my opinion, there's not enough difference within the same model to warrant a big price difference.

I had a KFA² card (Galax) and it died pretty fast just after the warranty ended of course...the same for a Gigabyte (RIP my 1080Ti). I didn't try any Asus card yet but my MSI (970) and AMD (out of topic here) are still rock solid.

By the way if you plan to buy, right now, an old overpriced GPU, I advise you to just wait until november (something like that) and buy a 5090 or a 5080.

For staying on topic, if you really want to spend huge money on an aged GPU, Asus>Galax. Still it's nonsense in my point of view, you better get an used cheap GPU better than yours or keep yours (if it's not failing) until few months.

The cheaper one no gpu within the same line of cards is worth that much of a premium.

The 4080 super is noticeably better but both are very good performers at 1440p and ok at 4k depending on if you like RT or not.

You are very late in the generation these cards are already almost 18 months old from an architectural standpoint expecting it to last another 36-48 months is probably wishful thinking unless you don't mind really turning down settings or gaming at 1080p.

I'd probably wait assuming you don't absolutely need a gpu right now. If you were shopping in the mid range I'd say go for it because those cards are probably a year plus out.

I'd say if you dead set on these two cards I'd only get the 4080 super if you are really into RT if not the 4070ti super is fine assuming 1440p or lower.

Get the ASUS ProArt if it fits on your bill. Amazing card with amazing build quality.

 

[basco]

is this graphic-card for the system in your profile ?
then i would advise against all and take other approach .

i5 4590 with 8GB RAM?
i would not waste my hard earned money to have a GPU idling in most games.

4080 Super tends to be ~15% faster than 4070 Ti Super. I find ~15% more fps on the edge of being noticeable uplift when you try hard to notice, so one unnoticeable during real life gameplay. That makes 4080S unnoticeably faster for noticeably higher price, so I wouldn't even think about it. Looking forward it's also not likely to give much of it back on used market where people are more focused on value.

I also wouldn't think about Pro Art cards. Both 4070TiS and 4080S are big heat loads for such compact cooler, so won't work as cool and quietly as other, bigger models.

Good question are also system specs - i5 4690 and 8GB RAM won't cut it with modern games, so I don't even count reducing performance of discussed cards.

The ProArt is a triple axial 2.5 slotter with extra width, it's a pretty big card, should handle the AD103's heat load just fine.

Agreed on the i5 but I think it might be a bit obvious OP is building a new PC, I guess.

 

[WhiteNoise]

Use that money to build a new PC instead. Then buy a video card later.

Check it out and compare temps and fan noise

I speak from my experience with 4080s and ~300W cards in general. Not with ProArt, but it's just not much of a cooler by only looking at size, so whatever great solutions or how many heatpipes it has inside. Simply not much for such heat load and obviously will perform worse than maybe even all of the rest being way bigger ones. Especially if we talk 4080(S) where most get the same cooler as 4090.

He said nothing to make obvious that he builds new pc and people needing to ask such questions on forum have mostly bad ideas lol

4090 heatsinks on the 4080 have always been some serious overkill (at least the ROG Strix is, which is the card I have), I still think it`s adequate. For the money there`s probably better value though. I'm with you though, that PC as listed on specs is just not adequate

Hey, i didnt updated my specs on there sorry. I have AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with a ASUS Tuf Gaming B650M-E 6400MHz (OC) DDR5 Soket AM5 board now with still Sapphire R9 390 NITRO TRI-X OC . I guess it s better to wait a lil longer for 5000 series then tho it s not that much wise to get fresh powerful nvidia cards on the release days i guess as they had melting etc problems before.

 

[P4-630]

better to wait a lil longer for 5000 series

Also when you even won't buy new gen when out, prices of current GPU's should come down.

Depends, we haven't really seen a big move when Ada launched in terms of perf/$.
That only happened late in gen, with the SUPERs.

So given that cadence you might be waiting for a long time. If you find a good, competitive 4080S deal I'd just go for it.
Or step down to 4070ti Super. Much better bang/buck and same 16GB.
