The RTX 4080, OVERCLOCKED to 3GHz – Benchmarks at the Edge



The RTX 4080 performance in gaming benchmarks is already impressive out of the box but what happens when we overclock it to 3GHz and beyond? Well against the RTX 4090 performance things might start to get interesting but the real competition here is the RTX 4080 vs 7900 XTX and that won’t be answered yet.

    Today upgrade Nvidia rtx is dead. No reason. Double performance for a double price. What next rtx 5090 2500$, 5080 2000$ mspr..

  2. jvidia

    More eWaste ! Don't really understand why youtubers still spend time with something that 99% of people don't care/will have.

  3. AmpEdition

    Nvidia 2020 3080 700$ 2022 4080 1200$ Jensen looks at his bank account and smiles. Oh thanks for the 500$ increase douchebags and we only seen msrp on the 3080 2 years later. Nah I'm skipping Nvidia's greedy ass, I got no problem giving AMD my money! Also rtx 3000 series and rx 6000 series are fire right now, the deals just keep getting better, especially on AMD side of things!

  4. FallacyRaver

    alright, who's gonna do it first? using the 4 leg adapter on the 4080. it shouldn't change anything.. but it would be a funny video

  5. Juan Ignacio

    The 1% low between the 4080, 3090ti and 6950 xt in 1440p and 4K is very even

  6. XengenAlpha

    Once again, where is Eber? Why isn't he doing these videos anymore?

  7. Raf YYC

    No thanks. Maybe Nvidia will be the new Intel. I'm happy with my 3080, but that was the absolute limit of what I was willing to spend, and found it at MSRP. Sure Nvidia will keep the performance crown specially in RT, but won't work for me anymore. Sounds like my next GPU will be AMD as long as they can provide performance within spitting distance AND better prices. Nvidia will continue to catch the wallet of people that price is not problem.

  8. Ali Hosseini

    buying an amd gpu makes more sense in 2023 not gonna buy nvidia because of these insane prices.Maybe nvidias goal is to let amd sell more cards .XD who knows.

  9. NVIDIA company should instead of issuing a new graphics card every year with some simple additions , Find a way to reduce energy consumption in its cards

  10. Chris Billingham

    Trash value just like the 4090. Remember when you used to get a large increase in fps with a marginal increase in price. Pepridge Farm remembers.

  11. Pe Peroni

    Ppl complaining about Apples iPad and Nvidia gpu prices still havent figured out how the market works….

  12. Tactical Center

    Is it worth it? NO. no. NOOOO! Stop letting them win reee reee consumers.

  13. Black Sama

    AMD we need you to keep Negreedia in check. WIthout AMD Nvidia would be in the 3k for a 4050.

  14. bob lablaw

    Can we just appreciate the 6950xt beating the 3080 10gb in RT at 4k? I wonder if the 12gb version would beat the 6950xt… I've been noticing that the 3070 and 3070ti fall off a cliff sometimes at 4k. I assumed it was vram, but wasn't sure how the 3080 10gb would fare. It seems it, too, sometimes hit a vram limit. So really, you are looking at 3080 12gb and up for a 4k gaming experience from nvidia. Makes the 6950xt pretty attractive imo, since it is usually cheaper than the 3080ti by a good bit, and same with the 3080 12gb version.

    A DISGRACE of a card…….. 1 -1 %/$ improvement is NOT an improvement… ANYONE buying this is wearing a badge saying 'Yes, I really AM A MORON'. A genuine disgrace and a little proof of shilling if ANY reviewer recommends this. Seriously, if ANY reviewer recommends this, you can now take ANYTHING they say as 'paid advertising'.

  16. grant paterson

    It's a little odd that you almost perfectly follow the Nvidia marketing sheets?? weird. Can I also ask if you got ANY benefits from Nvidia since you use marketing sentence construction, syntax and word positive/negative manipulation to give an almost entirely PRO Nvidia video…. It is also a little weird how DESPERATELY hard you worked to NOT talk about the price… What competent reviewer EVER does a review against other cards but then REFUSES to include prices…on a launch! a desperate plug video that reeks of manipulation. Almost EXACTLY the same as Linus's suspiscious video too…..weird huh.

  17. Taigo Inu

    Nvidia must be really stupid thinking that we buy 4080 for 1200USD , i would choose 3090 for 700 usd over 4080 for that 20% performance diffrence ! It will be my last time buying Nvidia after many years . AMD 7900XTX for 1000 USD killing 4080 with 8GB more ram ,,,, i think its clear

  18. arun antony

    Next year we will have very high refresh rate monitors across 2k and 4k

    You just don’t release a card and not have an ecosystem around to support it 🙂

  19. Mutio86

    1200$ pfff, laughs in 1469€ 😅

  20. Avro Arrow

    I've got my RX 6800 XT so I honestly don't care what nVidia does.

  21. AudienceMember

    Bro, everyone out here doing the same reviews, then these guys come along, man hardware Canucks putting in sweat equity that other just can't

  22. Jon Donnelly

    So much headroom on that card, should have been 3GHz+ out of the box, I mean why, else fit a 4090 coole4 and not a 3090 one. It seems they might have gimped the card on purpose.

  23. Rolo10

    YouTubers SHOULD NOT be building shit with these OVERPRICED CARDS………

  24. Madhawk1995

    LoL card is a scam
    Also, compare it to a 3ghz 4090 then 😂
    4080 and 4070 ti are 🗑️
    4090 is only model that is worth it until prices fall.
    Otherwise 7900xtx for 4090 level raster performance.

  25. K Kao

    The price issue is a little over blown. Sure the 3080 MSRP was a reasonable 700, but absolutely NO ONE was able to buy that card for anything under 1000, so 1200 MSRP for 4080 is really not much of a price increase in reality. I am personally way more worried about power supply and the fire hazard Nvidia continues to force on their customers. The reality is this, until AMD can get their act together, on both ray tracing, as well as driver optimization, we can all complain about Nvidia like crybabies, but we will still continue to buy Nvidia, and Jensen knows this. We have no choice in this market, and honestly the pricing is really not too bad if you think about it logically.

  26. Garrus Vakarian

    7 percent faster at 1440p, 16 percent with RT on at 4k, versus the 3090 Ti. Doesn't impress. 2 years has passed, two node shrinks. This is a '70 or '70 ti class card in disguise, at double the price it should be. See ya next year.

  27. Garrus Vakarian

    What is so offensive to everyone is that we just sat through 2 years of only miners and bots buying cards. Now the market has crashed, everyone is poor, there's little demand, and they raise prices. This shows that demand among the rich and the high end hasn't changed. But everyone that looks to buy a <$1000 card already lost half their demand, and the companies just abandoned everyone. Intentional market manipulation. They will launch with limited supply on purpose. This isn't a Nintendo level conspiracy; this is literally what they are doing. They don't want you to buy, they don't want to make it. Everyone should go on strike and not buy anything or buy used. Don't buy the 3000 series either.

  28. danmar007

    Is Nvidia making fun of its customers? 🙂

  29. Anson Garcia

    This is why I purchased pre owned. The pricing is ridiculous and I refuse to give any of these companies money for their off the shelf products.
