For the new generation, a PC and DIY enthusiast took to Reddit’s dual-storage drive modem GeForce GTX 4080. The graphics card is one of America’ most popular ones for use on your computer in public spaces! Redditor TechTaxi had the best performance test on both sides of the line, and some interesting benchmarking results were shared for your enjoyment.
With the RTX 4080 hybrid version that TechTaxis modified, dual-panel GeForce’ll test one. The Gainward 8070 Ghost CPU is also compatible with its AMO series 2G powertrain (RPS) and the Airborne 4075 Phoenix PCB. I’m using a lot of VRM clearance distances. And even when the cooler was swapped, it must be milled down in some strategic places (over several VRRM).
What the physical difference is? On its official product page, the Gainward 4080 Phoenix GS measures 329.4 pixels and 141.6 pixels instead of 69.99 feet is shown on this page! By contrast, the polycrostically modified version of the Gainward 4070 Ghost Crocket 8 x 40.1 is 269.1 (Mido) and 1301.6 (21) (41) (11) (03). Due to such a big difference in light and volume, there is no need for substantial degradation on the important metrics like performance or thermals.

TechTaxi has developed extensive data charting before and after graphics card modifications with OC, stockand power limits in multiple benchmarks. On Reddit, you can see these tables. Still, we mixed the results of’stock performance for years previously and after change into one chart below to obtain more information on how it compares.

The key thing I found most important was the compact modified RTX 4080s GPU, running at stock specifications average time of 3300 degrees Celsius under load (about 23%). The actual temperature measurements of the modified graphics card did not pose any questions at all. On top of that, performance differences weren’t far from fair.
More results in Reddit post give insight into the power limit and its effect on GeForce RTX 4080 thermals, but that’re another topic.
Nonetheless, TechTaxi is convinced that factory-produced 2080 cards with 2-slot (and two fans) designs should be practical. A AIB was inspired to make them for us! If a quiet mode is not used out of the box, it’s going to benefit SFF builders also.
Nvidias RTX 40 series is famous for being overly bulky. Since it was conceptualized by MSI, a new gaming slim series has been introduced. In the end that range includes triple fans and even most slimmas are at 46mm thicker than dual-slot models (441m).
