I have no hesitation in recommending the RTX 4080 as a product, as a great piece of technology, but the current pricing makes little sense with the Founders Edition reviewed here. Some of the third party cards advertised in the UK actually seem to have prices closer to the RTX 4090 Founders model, which is shocking.
In terms of the RTX 4080 FE reviewed here, I love the form factor, I love the near-silent operation and the actual experience of playing games on a 4K 120Hz TV with G-Sync is excellent - it may not have quite the wow factor of the RTX 4090, but it's still highly impressive.
However, the price premium is difficult to justify with pressure coming from so many different directions: from legacy GA102 Ampere cards, from the upcoming AMD RX 7900 products - and astonishingly, even from the RTX 4090.
