Pros: First impressions are positive overall. This is high performance video card with reasonable power consumption. I did some benchmarks, and the highest number I saw in Afterburner is 338 W for the card alone (Metro Exodus Enhanced edition benchmark with max settings), so my current 750 W PSU is more than fine. And this is before any undervolting. This card has massive cooler (double check if it is going to fit into your case!) which helps keeping card cool and quiet. There is some minor coil whine at very high FPS, but it is nothing like I had in the case of Asus ROG Strix RTX 3080, which I returned after ~ 1 week due to unbearable coil whine.

Cons: Early adopter problems. This card did not output video signal with all three 8-pin cables connected to the 16-pin adapter. Card works just fine with two 8-pin cables connectors to the 16-pin adapter. I hope Gigabyte is going to say something about this problem or fix it, may be through the card firmware.

Overall Review: My reasoning for buying 4080 instead of 4090. Many respectable reviewers on YouTube pointed out that the 4080 has worse price per FPS ratio compared to the 4090. But for me personally, 4090 is not an option because with 4090 I have to buy new high-end PSU and new UPS which would be at least ~ 400 500 $ plus the difference in price between the 4080 and 4090 which is another ~ 400$ (Lowest MSRPs). In my opinion not worth it. The 4080 is expensive but also futureproof, I hope for 5 years at least.

Pros: PC works

Cons: Unbearable buzzing noise

Overall Review: Unbearable buzzing noise probably due to the coil whine. Very hard to concentrate to do work at home when you need it the most. Disappointing.

Overall Review: Works as expected. Shipment from China to US ~ 2 weeks.
