Asus GeForce RTX 4080 ProArt 16GB OC

An advanced modification of the GeForce RTX 4080 video card from Asus with 16 GB of video memory and updated tensor and ray tracing cores. Part of the 2023 ProArt Specialty Line. Unlike most Asus GPUs from the Twin, Gaming or ROG Strix series, this model is created primarily for visual content specialists, artists, animators, VFX artists, game designers, etc. It comes with a full suite of hardware and software innovations, including NVIDIA Broadcast, Encoder, Reflex and RTX IO, as well as a powerful suite of 3D graphics tools known as NVIDIA Studio.

The advanced video engine allows for real-time playback or encoding of 4K/8K video streams, making this card an ideal choice for streamers looking to deliver high-quality content. The foundation of the Asus GeForce RTX 4080 ProArt 16GB OC is the AD103 graphics chip with 9728 CUDA cores and a 16 GB GDDR6X memory buffer with a bandwidth of 720 GB/s. GPU operating frequency - 2625 MHz, memory - 22400 MHz.

Depending on the selected resolution, the gaming performance of the Asus GeForce RTX 4080 ProArt 16GB OC Noctua OC is 25 - 30% faster than its predecessor RTX 3080. If we put aside the creative purpose of this model and return to games, it turns out that it feels best in 2K resolution. For Full HD its performance is excessive; for 4K there is not always enough power and video buffer capacity, so you will have to actively rely on DLSS.

And this is where the fun begins. Unlike the RTX 3080, this GPU is equipped with third-generation ray tracing cores and fourth-generation tensor cores, and DLSS 3.0 supersampling technology has been taught to work with new data types. It doesn’t blur the picture as much as DLSS 2.0, and the efficiency of the finishing algorithms has noticeably increased, which is especially useful when there is a lack of power in 4K games.
