P3d Rtx 4080

[Walberto Kennedy]

Ispent months planning out my new PC build last year, and the GPU was the one choice I paid the most attention to. Picking a processor for a gaming build was easy, as the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an obvious choice, but the graphics card? Choosing one turned out to be quite a headache.

All in all, the RTX 4080 was a conscious decision; I knew I was overpaying, but I was willing to do it to achieve smooth gaming at every resolution on maximum settings. Shortly after building my PC, I had no regrets.

The graphics card was, obviously, where I really dropped the ball on my budget. Starting with the RTX 4070, the needle moved inch by inch until I told myself that I wanted the option of 4K gaming on max settings and that I might as well invest in some futureproofing with the RTX 4080.

Although Nvidia hasn't said much about its upcoming RTX 50-series graphics cards during Computex, they're coming, and we just got a new rumor about their potential specs. According to a reputable leaker, the RTX 5080 might be less impressive than initially suggested. If this is proven true, is this the direct result of Nvidia not needing to try as hard, given that AMD may be sitting out the race for the best graphics card in this generation?

The intel comes from kopite7kimi -- a frequent leaker in the GPU space, who has now said that not only will it take a while for most of the lineup to arrive but also that the GB203 GPU will be significantly cut down compared to previous rumors. Many suspect that the GB203 will be the GPU inside the RTX 5080, so this is a rather big deal.

All the rumors about the RTX 5090 were pointing toward another ridiculous, three or four-slot GPU. But a recent rumor states that Nvidia is moving in the opposite direction with its upcoming Founders Edition card.

The comment comes from known leaker @kopite7kimi on X (formerly Twitter) as a reply to a post by Overclock3D. According to the leaker, the 5090 Founders Edition is leaning toward a more practical dual-slot design.

MSI just revealed what might just be the most ridiculous graphics card we've seen to date, and it snagged the Best Choice Award at Computex 2024. MSI's GeForce RTX 4090 24G Suprim Fuzion is an enormous GPU, and although it's equipped with just two fans -- a rarity for an RTX 4090 -- it may have the best cooling solution in MSI's arsenal, all thanks to the built-in all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler. Don't see any external radiator? That's because there isn't one. All the tubing and the radiator are tucked away inside the shroud of this massive beast. But how much will that really help?

It's safe to say that MSI went a little extra when it designed this GPU. With an integrated radiator inside the shroud, it looks quite unassuming at a glance, but don't be fooled -- this is a 4.5-slot behemoth that probably weighs a ton. MSI got rid of every single external tube and concealed the entire AIO cooler within the shroud, making the pipes 90% shorter than in traditional designs.

Nvidia's new RTX 4080 Super is technically faster than the regular 4080, but, by an order of magnitude, the most interesting thing about it is that, at its launch price of $999, it's $200 cheaper than the original 4080. I am going to write more after this sentence, but that's basically the review. You're welcome to keep reading, and I would appreciate it if you would, but truly there is only one number you need to know, and it is "$200."

Yes, it's marginally faster than the original 4080, but its best feature is a price drop from $1,199 to a still high, but more reasonable, $999. What it doesn't do is attempt to close the gap between the 4080 series and the 4090, a card that still significantly outruns any other consumer GPU that AMD or Nvidia offers. But if you have a big budget, want something that's still head-and-shoulders above the entire RTX 30-series, and don't want to deal with the 4090's currently inflated pricing, the 4080 Super is much more appealing than the regular 4080, even if it is basically the same GPU with a new name.

The bulk of our testing was through a PNY Verto model with the archetypal statistically insignificant manufacturer overclock applied, but it will also be available in a Founders Edition card directly from Nvidia with the same tweaked all-black design as the 4070 Super. While lower-end 40-series cards from Nvidia's partners often come with 8-pin power connectors instead of the newer and occasionally controversial 12VHPWR connector, PNY and Nvidia's cards both use 12VHPWR. The 4080 Super's power requirements are high enough that most partner cards will likely opt to save the space and use the smaller connector instead of making room for three 8-pin connectors.

The 4080 is an 8-probe multi-functional, high-production Flying Probe Tester designed for testing electronic boards and devices. The tester sets a new benchmark for flying probe board testing, offering the highest probing and electrical measurement accuracy and speed on both sides of the device under test.

The 4080 is conceived for the most demanding electronics manufacturers to cut the cost-of-test. It provides the highest throughput for flying probe testing as it can test 800,000+ boards per year. The double-sided high-speed moving axes, micro-probing accuracy, multidisciplinary test capability, and flexible scalability allow electronics manufacturers to ensure zero-failure escape in a wide range of applications at the highest throughput.

The 4080 Flying Probe Tester features 8x flying heads (4x top and 4x bottom) that ensure effective probing of top and bottom faces of electronic boards and devices. The flying heads feature ultra-high-speed linear motors that provide the highest probing speed (up to 180 touches/s), superior mechanical stability, and no deformation during use to ensure maximum probe accuracy. Furthermore, the mechanical and constructive simplicity means less periodic maintenance.

Ultra-accurate positioning meters on each XYZ axis of the 4080 ensure the effective and consistent probing of the smallest targets, as little as 30m test pads and 008004 SMD components. The test system provides the highest probing accuracy (10μm), and repeatability (5μm) like no other flying probe system can do.

The 8 flying heads of the 4080 can mount a comprehensive range of testing tools and probes used for electrical testing. Up to 28 Flying Tools such as spring probes, hi-resolution vision units, light meters, ElectroScan, thermal cameras, and more provide extended functionality and test coverage for a wide range of test applications.

4080 users take the advantage of working with a friendly software environment, similar to what smartphones made us used to. Every test utility is dedicated to a defined function, while its update is independent and does not affect overall software integrity. Leonardo 4 operating system incorporates all the functionalities and effectiveness of previous Leonardo versions, bringing them a step ahead.

SPEA has designed and manufactured a new series of Automatic PCB handling Equipment, able to perform autonomous loading and unloading operations. SPEA Board Handling Equipment is available in modular configurations, which allow for quick changes on field, and stand out for their reduced footprint, as they take up just one third of the floor space typically needed by traditional PCB handling equipment.

There aren't a lot of benchmarks comparing the two. How does the RTX 4080/4090 compare to the RTX A5000? They both are 24GB. It's not the Quadro version of the A5000, but this is an option in the configuration for the Dell Precision 7920T, 7820, 5820 towers. Some benchmarks seem to rate the 4090 a lot higher... Thanks!

The RTX "A" series is basically the Quadro replacement. Not sure why they dropped the branding, it just makes things more confusing. The A5000 is an older architecture than the 4090. This PassMark chart puts it in the neighborhood of a 3070. Generally the Geforce/gaming cards are going to perform better and cost less than a comparable "Quadro" for things like Enscape.

Make sure to not bend the power connectors leading into the card, or perhaps even acquire an already bent (90 degrees) cable like seen here (depending on the PC case size you have available). Bending the connectors can otherwise lead to damage of either the cable or even the card, worst case leading to burns. With proper care this should not be an issue though, but be mindful about it when it comes to the 4080 and 4090. Safety first!
