Summary of the review

Build Small, Play Big - ASUS ProArt RTX 4080 SUPER OC

The TechPowerUp review evaluates the ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 16 GB OC Edition under NVIDIA’s SFF-Ready initiative, highlighting its professional, all-metal design, secure packaging, and inclusion of a necessary dual PCIe 8-pin to 16-pin 12VHPWR adapter. The card's guaranteed SFF-Ready footprint enables maximum performance in compact ITX chassis, though it lacks a native ATX 3.0 power layout, forcing reliance on bulky adapters, with included gimmicky accessories providing limited value.

Summary of the review

Nikolaus-Rätsel 2024: Gewinne einen von zwei High-End-PCs For detailed technical specifications, visit Asus.com.

The provided article is not a standard product review, but rather a summary and resolution of the "ComputerBase Nikolaus-Rätsel 2024," a traditional Christmas community quiz where participants could win one of two custom high-end PCs built by system integrator MIFCOM. The two grand prizes consisted of a white Intel-based system (Intel Core Ultra 9 285K) and a black AMD-based system (AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D), both equipped with top-tier components like an Asus ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 Super OC graphics card, 48 GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 RAM, and a 2 TB Corsair MP600 Pro NH SSD. This year’s contest proved to be particularly challenging, as only 33% of the participants managed to answer all six tricky hardware-themed multiple-choice questions correctly, compared to a 67% success rate in 2023. While not a formal hardware review, the breakdown of the giveaway components highlights several specific pros and cons regarding the selected hardware ecosystem. On the positive side, the hardware choices offer incredible engineering pros: the Asus ProArt mainboards feature exceptional "Q-Features" that offer toolless, hassle-free installation for GPUs, M.2 SSDs, and Wi-Fi...

Based on ratings from across the web.

Reviews last updated: June 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 Super OC Edition

Compact 2.5-slot design makes it one of the smallest RTX 4080 Super variants, ideal for Small Form Factor (SFF) and Mini-ITX builds.
Minimalist aesthetic featuring a clean, all-black look with gold accents and no RGB lighting, catering to professional and zero-RGB setups.
High performance for 4K gaming and professional creative workloads like 3D rendering and AI modeling.
Excellent build quality with an all-metal shroud and durable dual-ball fan bearings.
Generally operates quietly and maintains manageable temperatures (often under 70°C) despite its smaller heatsink.
Includes useful accessories such as a GPU support beam that doubles as a screwdriver and a PCIe to 12VHPWR adapter.

What we don't like about ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 Super OC Edition

Reports of audible coil whine from some users, which can be particularly noticeable in quiet builds.
Higher price point compared to some other 4080 Super models, leading some reviewers to consider it overpriced for the cooling performance provided.
Smaller cooling solution compared to bulkier models (like the ASUS TUF or ROG Strix) means fans may need to run at higher RPMs, potentially increasing noise under extreme load.
The included 16-pin power adapter is noted to be stiff, which can make cable management difficult in space-constrained cases.
Lack of secondary HDMI port compared to some larger enthusiast-class cards.

Verdict

The ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 4080 Super OC Edition is a professionally styled graphics card featuring the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture with 10,240 CUDA cores and 16GB of high-speed GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit interface. This OC Edition is factory-tuned to a 2,610 MHz boost clock (stepping up to 2,640 MHz in OC mode) and features a refined triple-fan, 2.5-slot cooling solution that fits within a compact 300mm length, making it ideal for small-form-factor (SFF) builds. Major pros include its sleek, minimalist aesthetic without RGB lighting, exceptional power efficiency for content creation via the NVIDIA Studio platform, and a space-saving design that maintains thermal efficiency through larger Axial-tech fans. However, notable cons include a premium price tag compared to other 4080 Super variants and slightly higher noise levels during peak loads compared to larger, bulkier cooling solutions.
