the price-performance ratio is right on the money
a very well-made graphics card, ideal for professionals and enthusiasts looking for power. This model stands out for its lightness, enabling stable installation directly on the PCIe slot without the need for additional support.
Performance on a par with an RTX 4080 SUPER
The performance of this card is exactly what you'd expect from an RTX 4080 SUPER. With its 16 GB of VRAM, it is perfectly suited to the needs of audiovisual professionals, particularly those working with demanding software such as DaVinci Resolve. VRAM (video memory) plays an essential role in processing heavy graphics tasks such as manipulating sequences in 4K or 8K resolution, rendering in real time with complex effects, applying advanced colourimetry, and so on.
VRAM of this capacity guarantees optimum fluidity, even on resource-hungry projects. Admittedly, an RTX 4090 with its 24 GB of VRAM could have been an alternative, but the performance/price ratio of this 4080 SUPER made it a more judicious choice, enabling significant savings to be made without sacrificing performance.
Sober design but quality materials
The sobriety of the card's design may not attract everyone's attention, but it's clear that Gainward has focused on the quality of its materials. This is a robust graphics card, with no unnecessary gimmicks, but without compromising on the essentials. The fans provide efficient cooling, keeping the temperature at around 66 to 69°C, even under intensive work and game loads.a thanks to its optimised CUDA cores, excels in editing under DaVinci Resolve by accelerating rendering and effects processing, where a AMD RX 7900 XTX, despite its raw power, lacks software optimisation for this type of use.
