Nvidia RTX 4080 Founders Edition Review

Following on from our stock thermal and acoustic testing, here we re-test the operating temperature of the GPU, but with noise levels normalised to 40dBa. This allows us to measure the efficiency of the overall cooling solution as varying noise levels as a result of more aggressive fan curves are no longer a factor.

We did also test the cooling performance with the noise output locked at 40dBa. The results aren't too useful on their own, but as we test a range of AIB cards, we will be able to see how they stack up against the Founders Edition.
