NVIDIA’s RTX 4080 Super custom models have been overclocked to 3GHz on air cooling. Enthusiast overclockers shared screenshots of GPU-Z and 3DMark runs, confirming stable operation at these frequencies. The cards use enhanced VRMs and triple-fan coolers.
Performance testing in 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra shows a 15% uplift over stock speeds, with graphics scores exceeding 25,000 points. Power draw increases to 370W, and temperatures remain below 75°C thanks to improved cooling designs. In-game benchmarks in Forza Horizon 5 show frame rates above 100fps at 4K.
These results highlight the headroom available in NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace architecture. Custom board partners are pushing the limits, appealing to enthusiasts seeking maximum performance. The trend may drive demand for higher-wattage PSUs and advanced cooling solutions.
