As the fifth RTX 4080 that I have now reviewed, there is no doubt in my mind that the ASUS RTX 4080 ROG Strix is the best of the lot – and by a fair distance.

ASUS RTX 4080 ROG Strix Review

8 out of 10

Cooling performance is the real differentiator when comparing custom cards from AIB partners. With a higher boost clock right out of the box, it’s no surprise that these cards’ GPU chips draw more power than NVIDIA's reference Founders Edition card. It's also no surprise to see the GPU chip on the ROG Strix, with a higher boost clock, drawing the most power out of the three cards.

9.5 out of 10

The new ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GDDR6X is the highest segment in 4080 affair with a 3.5-slot design and triple-fan cooler

2023 Red Dot Product Design

ROG Strix GeForce RTX 40 series won the 2023 Red Dot Product Design Award, a world-renowned design award.

Recommendation

Nvidia GeForce trio in test: RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4080 & RTX 4090

Technology Award

In terms of performance and features alone, the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 OC offers the best overall package for us. The cooling is quiet, keeps all components at low temperatures, and those who want to play around with the card a bit will also find more leeway in the power limit via the P-BIOS.

The ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 STRIX OC comes overclocked out of the box, to a rated boost clock of 2625 MHz, which is a 120 MHz increase over the NVIDIA FE speeds. This is the fastest factory-overclocked RTX 4080.

We all know the new GeForce RTX 4080 offers a great leap over the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, but ASUS adds its usual magic touch to the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4080 OC Edition. Fantastic performance out of the box with 2.9GHz+ boost clocks and overclocking past 3.0GHz isn't hard (but you won't get much more performance).

TechPorn Superb Award

The ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4080 OC is a high-end graphics card capable of unleashing the full grunt of the GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. It is current-gen 4K gaming ready with enough headroom to spare especially with its Tensor core enhanced features enabled.
