Rank #9 in Best RTX 5080 Graphics Card: 10 Ranked, All 16GB GDDR7 and a £474.75 Gap
ASUS RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition is number 9 of ten in this guide, and it is the most expensive listing in it at £1,764.74 — £474.75 more than the cheapest card here. What that extra money buys, judging by the listing itself, is cooling and clocks: three Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 120 mm fans, a phase-change GPU thermal pad and a chamber the copy calls an "optimised steam chamber". ASUS quotes 1858 AI TOPS, with 2730 MHz in OC mode and 2700 MHz in standard mode.
The spec table repeats the same slip that runs through this guide. ASUS prints "Memory Clock Speed: 2700 MHz", which is the exact figure it also gives for "GPU Clock Speed" — so the memory field describes nothing about the memory, it just copies the core clock again. Two other fields look like they were filled in from a different form entirely: "Antenna Location: Gaming" and "Box Contents: Product". The card carries 4.7 out of 5 from 39 ratings, although the histogram on the same listing shows 3 one-star, 13 four-star and 84 five-star ratings, which adds up to 100 rather than 39. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing for this card — not from any testing of our own.

Verified purchase“SO SILENT I HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING TO SEE IF FANS ARE SPINNINGand yes they are under load they spin but you wont hear anything. in V.R THIS CARD IS DEAD SILENT AND ALL OTHER GAMES temps sit at 56.c never goes above i play games like bf6 msfs2024 in V.R cyberpunk . DCS AND TOMB RAIDERNOCTUA AND ASUS DONE A GREAT JOB ON THIS RTX 5080”
Verified purchase“La carte graphique est arrivée en parfait état. L'article reçu est conforme à celui commandé. Fidèle à ce qui est dit : elle est très silencieuse et super bien refroidie. Après 30min de benchmark sur Furmark, elle était à 55°C, ce que je trouve impressionnant.Seul bémol : les 2 pattes arrières qui viennent se fixer à la place des caches à l'arrière du boitier étaient légèrement tordues et je n'arrivais pas à installer le GPU à cause de ça.. J'ai dû les remettre droite avec une pince... Cependant ça doit être un erreur de conception, mais attention tout de même à ce qu'il ne vous arrive pas la même chose.Bref c'est cher et maintenant je vais manger des pâtes aux pâtes pendant quelques mois, mais ça vaut sacrément le coup si on souhaite un confort sonore exemplaire.Attention par contre car c'est un vrai parpaing. Prévoyez un boitier assez gros et un ventirad/watercooling compatible sinon vous serez embêté. Dans mon setup elle passe tout juste, à un millimètre près.”
