Even higher boosted gpu clocks than stated. Under load, it maintains around 2.75Ghz. I don't game with it, but I render and videos using it's AI capabilities. Such as 4k upscaling and frame interpolation. Upgraded from MSI Ventus x2 RTX 2070 and was very impressed. I can even play 8k HDR 60fps streaming flawlessly with it. Load only hits around 50-60% usage.
Easy to overclock and runs anything you want on extreme settings.
Very fast Very quiet Hotspot stays around 70c, when playing starfield.
So far so good, week 2 or 3 into having the card. It's dead silent, monster performance, and good deal with pricing. Some take aways if you're building yourself. Know your caseshades. on and air flow just to be aware of sizing you need. I went from a 3070 to this 4080S and its about the same size. The other consideration is for the power cable with the 3 split which is common with this generation. The other advice would be to get the nvidia app and just make sure you have the latest driver in case you're having some weird issues. Finally make sure you have the appropriate power supply (I'm running a 1000w). I went with the extended warranty through newegg and nvidia has their own just in case but haven't experienced any issues so far. Will post 6 month update .
Out of the box it worked just fine! Look foward to making a 15th gen i9 15900k build with it. Temps were below 70 playing games. Have an i9 10900k that does good but could be better.
