Nvidia’s RTX 4080 is now the main target of overclocking specialists, with significantly quick clock speeds being reached by the GPU (after seeing large overclocks achieved by the RTX 4090 already, as chances are you’ll recall).

Tom’s {Hardware} (opens in new tab) noticed that the Galax OC group used the agency’s personal RTX 4080 SG 1-Click on OC graphics card (the SG stands for ‘Severe Gamer’), and managed to crank it as much as 3.615GHz for a brand new report because the quickest 4080 we’ve seen.

That’s over 1GHz greater than the manufacturing facility default enhance for the SG, which is 2.565GHz by the way in which, with the 1-click overclock mode the graphics card is called after notching that as much as 2.58GHz to offer you an thought of a extra typical slight overclock.

One other new report unlocked🥳! The OC group has managed to push the clock pace of GeForce RTX™ 4080 16GB SG 1-Click on OC as much as 3615MHz, surpassing the unique 1-Click on OC clock by 40%⚡! #GALAX #PC #GeForceRTX4080SG #GeForceRTX40collection #Overclocking pic.twitter.com/8IVBNG4d9hNovember 29, 2022

As Galax observes, the three.615GHz overclock is definitely 40% quicker than the 1-click overclock, and it’s a formidable achievement.

Sadly, no different data is shared on the overclock, though we will safely assume that it used liquid nitrogen cooling (or another unique technique), as these sorts of speeds can’t be reached utilizing any typical cooler.

Evaluation: A significantly spectacular feat, nevertheless it’s unlikely to maneuver shoppers

The RTX 4080 has launched to flak from reviewers and avid gamers alike, resulting from its shaky general worth proposition – Nvidia has actually pushed the value tag as exhausting as it may well with this GPU. The fact is that with the RTX 4080’s worth level, in some circumstances customized third-party boards value practically as a lot because the RTX 4090 – which is a significantly quicker graphics card (and a ridiculous scenario, for positive).

On condition that, chances are you’ll not need to hear in regards to the RTX 4080 hitting report speeds, or care a lot in any respect about it, and we get the place you’re coming from. But it surely’s nonetheless attention-grabbing to see how far these Lovelace GPUs could be pushed when overclocking, with loads of headroom accessible.

The RTX 4090 has beforehand attained a lift pace of three.825GHz, however keep in mind this was the ‘HOF’ (Corridor Of Fame) version of the Galax 4090, a board which is specifically designed to do properly with overclocking (an costly restricted version proposition for skilled overclockers, mainly).

The RTX 4080 card used right here is only a plain Galax board aimed toward shoppers, so to see it attain solely 200MHz shy of the significantly custom-made HOF model of the 4090 is definitely very spectacular. It factors to the GPU having some beefy overclocking chops, however that’s unlikely to influence potential RTX 4080 consumers to make the leap, thoughts you – as an alternative, we reckon a worth drop would possibly assist to do the trick there.

If Galax made a HOF model of the RTX 4080, then it’d clearly be able to going a very good deal quicker, however whether or not that’ll occur, who is aware of? Whereas HOF variants of the RTX 3080 and 2080 (Tremendous) had been produced by Galax, given the scenario with the 4080 and its present reputation – or lack of it – we don’t foresee one arriving in something just like the close to future, let’s put it this manner.

The very best current information we’ve heard in regards to the RTX 4080, frankly, is the way in which the graphics card is educating scalpers a well-deserved lesson.
