Asus and Noctua team up once again for RTX 4080 Super

Asus's partnership with Noctua continues. The RTX 4080 Super has officially launched today, with reviews now live across the web, including several of our own, covering the Founders Edition and a few partner cards. Soon, Asus will be launching a new Noctua-cooled version of the RTX 4080 Super. 

Asus and Noctua have been partnering on some graphics cards for a couple of years now but the 4080 Super variant seems to have the beefiest cooler yet, utilising Noctua's battle-tested and highly-praised NF-A12x25 120mm fans, alongside a chunky heatsink.

The big selling point of a Noctua-cooled graphics card is the lack of noise. Noctua is well known for having some of the quietest cooling fans on the market. Due to the cooling performance, Asus was also able to squeeze a bit more out of the GPU, delivering an extra 90Hz out of the box compared to Nvidia's Founders Edition model.

We don't have an exact launch date yet, or a final price but the original RTX 4080 Noctua Edition did sell for $1649. As pointed out by Videocardz, the RTX 4080 Super does have a lower MSRP than the original RTX 4080, so we may end up seeing this version hitting the market at a similar or slightly lower price.

KitGuru Says: The Asus x Noctua graphics cards have impressed but they do come with a price premium attached. Would you want to pick up a Noctua-cooled graphics card?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
