Galaxy's RTX 5080 HOF Extreme has a 2805MHz boost clock (OC Mode). To achieve high frequencies, the card needs 400W of power. Galaxy claims to have around 10% better performance compared to RTX 5080 Founders Edition. They also claim that if you overclock it, it can outperform RTX 4090D in some situations.
Galaxy showcases how the card can run 4K path tracing with no stress. Also, the card supports DLSS 4.5 to achieve high FPS in heavy situations. "Galaxy RTX 5080 HOF Extreme challenges this year's best domestic AAA title", as Galaxy shared. We have been following this card as you can see in our previous article, GALAX GeForce RTX 5080 HOF Extreme.
Galaxy presented the RTX 5080 HOF Extreme as a great high-performance card for 4K gaming. On top of that, you can make it look pretty and it's technically great. Perfect for those that care about visuals and FPS for latest games.
10% uplift is standard for HOF cards. The real story is the 400W TDP. My PSU is already sweating.
swarovski crystals on a gpu? 🤔 looks like a diamond encrusted brick
Does the 400W TDP cause any thermal throttling in the 2024 driver stack? I saw similar issues with the 4090 FE.
The review cites 4K path tracing with no pressure. The dual 12V-2×6 connectors should handle the load safely. No throttling mentioned in the summary.
Claiming it beats the 4090D when overclocked is a stretch. The 4090D has more VRAM. I will wait for independent benchmarks before believing this.
Ninja Blade Zero? Is that the new title everyone is talking about?
I just need more VRAM for my 4k textures. This card looks nice but my wallet is empty 😂
The kernel scheduler handles 400W spikes better now. Expect stable clocks in OC mode. The crystal accents are just marketing fluff.
