  2. Just got my strix 4080 oc a couple days paired with my 13900k …i can tell performance is night and day compared to my evga rtx 3080ti ftw3 ultra. Power efficient and the tech that comes with it.

  3. I just came across your video and I was wondering should I get a RTX 4080 for my current system (4790k + 1080ti) or just keep my GPU and upgrade the rest of the PC?

  9. 3090 MSRP at launch $1499
    3090 ti MSRP at launch $1999

    4080 MSRP at launch $1199. Based on the 4k benchmarks I've watched (other YouTube benchmarks channel). The 4080 beats both 3090 and 3090 ti.

  14. Hi i have a 3080 right now! my specs is motherboard msi Z690 ram 32 gigs power supply 850 titanium! liquid cooled, oh and a i7700k! just got this pc a few monthes ago! But im a little worried about the only 10 gigs of vram. So im thining of saving up for a 4080!

  21. Wow, someone reviewed an nvidia card without scowling. Hardware Unboxed…scowl…nvidia sucks, nvidia sucks. Gamers Nexus….scowl, nvidia sucks, nvidia sucks. They remind me of CNN.

  27. I have a 3080 at 1440P and would like a 4080+4K in the future but don't know if it's worth it. Some say that the picture is amazing, some say it's a waste of money. What is your opinion ?

  28. I got myself the Gigabyte RTX4080 OC 16GB, although it cost me a arm and a leg I'm very happy with it.
    I have no regrets buying it, I game in 4K too with high settings and I love it, and I record on the same PC i play on as you do with the built in Nvidia Recording feature.
    Cheers

  29. CPU – Ryzen 9 7900 non-x
    GPU – 3060
    Ram – 32 GB (6200)
    Motherboard – ROs Strix 650B-F plus Wi-Fi
    1000 power supply
    2tb SSD!

    Is it worth changing my graphics card to a 4080 would I for sure get 4k Everytime and have a smooth run? I want to play ultra high with 4k! Or should I spend the extra money and get a 4090
