The RTX 4080 SUPER, now on the market, is a graphics card that most of you are likely familiar with. With its "more for less" approach and a starting price of 8099 CNY, it's definitely worth considering for high-end gamers.
However, almost all non-reference cards compared to the RTX 4080 only show about a 2% performance boost, and even with triple fans, temperatures still reach 66-68°C, which is far from ideal.
But is there a RTX 4080 SUPER out there that can fully leverage the performance of the AD103 full-blooded GPU core while remaining sufficiently cool?
Indeed, there is!
It's none other than the iGame GeForce RTX 4080 Neptune OC 16GB from Colorful's Water God family, combining liquid cooling with the graphics card. Whether in terms of components or specifications, it sets a benchmark for non-reference graphics cards.
The RTX 4080 SUPER features a full-blooded AD103 core in its specs, boasting 7 sets of GPCs, 14 sets of TPCs, and 80 sets of SM units. Each SM unit comprises 128 CUDA cores, totaling 10,240 stream processors, with only a 5% difference compared to the RTX 4080.
Additionally, it includes 320 fourth-generation Tensor Cores, 80 third-generation RT Cores, 320 texture units, 112 ROP units, and a 64MB L2 cache.
The memory configuration remains at a 256-bit bus width, but with a slight improvement in memory bandwidth specifications, featuring a memory frequency of 23Gbps and a memory bandwidth of 736GB/s.
The Colorful iGame RTX 4080 SUPER Neptune OC graphics card features dual BIOS. The default BIOS is identical to the reference design, with a maximum boost frequency of 2550MHz, but with TGP unlocked to 350W, surpassing the standard reference design by 30W.
The overclocking BIOS ramps up the boost frequency to 2640MHz, while the TGP reaches an unprecedented 470W, surpassing the reference design by a whopping 150W, almost comparable to the RTX 4090!
Paired with the extreme temperature control provided by the Colorful iGame RTX 4080 SUPER Neptune OC graphics card's liquid cooling, it's evident that both performance and overclocking potential will be more abundant than with air cooling.
Next, let's take a look at the performance of the Colorful iGame RTX 4080 SUPER Neptune OC graphics card (hereinafter referred to as the iGame RTX 4080 SUPER Neptune OC).
