We reviewed the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition video card and put it through its paces, pushing 4K, 1440p, Ray Tracing, and DLSS. Performance exceeded the previous generation.
4K with Ray Tracing and the uplift versus the GeForce RTX 3080 felt a bit underwhelming for the price point. The step-down in performance compared to the GeForce RTX 4090 seems unbalanced for the price difference. The build and cooling are exceptional, with a robust video card that stays quiet, and cool and is also power efficient for the performance delivered. The GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition is a good video card that is otherwise marred by its high price tag for the performance offered and price-to-performance value proposition versus the GeForce RTX 4090.
