GeForce RTX 4080 Founder edition review - Product photos

The cooling design for the Founder cards has been reworked a bit with what NVIDIA markets as twin axial flow through thermals. Essentially, the air is drawn in from the outer side and vented from the top and connection port sides. The fan design on the RTX 4080 FE is an upgrade over the one included with the RTX 3080 FE. There is no RGB lighting. However, the GeForce RTX logo glows white.

 

 

The RTX 4000 series graphics cards are equipped with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports. It's a bit of a downer that NVIDIA did not opt for the new DP 2.1 standard already. The IO panel is an air vent with connectors that will support 8K 60 Hz HDR via a single HDMI cable. The card, like the previous version, is designed with an alloy frame that houses an aluminium fin stack.

 

 

This fin-stack accounts for the majority of the cooler's volume. Fresh air taken in by the first fan is vented from the card's sides, while the second fan sucks air through the fin stack and vents it upward. Six heat pipes connect the various cooling elements to a vapour-chamber plate, which removes heat from the GPU and memory.

 

 

The cards are equipped with the much-discussed 12VHPWR power connector header (converter cable included that feeds from three 8-pin connectors). Documentation and an adapter that transforms triple 8-pin PCIe power inputs to a 12-pin power connector are included among the included materials. Please, do not bend the cable too close to the connector; keep a 3-4cm distance from that plastic connector. 

Above is a PCB shot of the 4080, below the card set up in its test environment.
