Nvidia RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition Graphics Card Review

Power & Temperatures

Now moving on from framerates and costing, as always, we have multiple cards with us and the big thing separating them is the power, temperatures and fan speeds. It’s here where we threw both the Founders Edition and X3 cards both onto F1 23 for a one-hour loop to see exactly how they perform for a prolonged gaming session.

The NVIDIA FE card and for the most part, our GPU temperatures were pretty tame with a GPU core sitting around 62 degrees, and a hot spot a little higher towards 73 degrees all while the memory junction temperature also remained under control at 68 degrees. The card managed to boost to 2805MHz all while using 272 Watts of total board power. During the run as expected, the fans didn’t really do much, hovering around 1300 RPM so very quiet in the grand scheme of things.
