NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition graphics card 16GB GDDR6X

Founders Edition 16GB GDDR6X

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition is a 16GB graphics card built for enthusiast gamers and creators who need high frame rates at 4K and 8K resolutions. It uses the Ada Lovelace architecture with 9728 CUDA cores and a 256-bit memory interface. The card connects through a PCI Express 4.0 slot and fits systems that also support PCI Express 3.0.

Sustained 320W thermal envelope

Under continuous load the GPU operates within a 320W thermal design power limit while maintaining boost clocks up to 2510 MHz. The Founders Edition cooler is engineered to dissipate that heat steadily during long rendering sessions or extended gaming periods without throttling. GDDR6X memory runs at high bandwidth across the 256-bit bus to keep data flowing to the compute units.

PCIe 4.0 slot and 320W power budget

Before ordering verify that your motherboard provides a full-length PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot and that your power supply can deliver 320W for the graphics card alone. The board requires a 16-pin 12VHPWR connector or the supplied adapter for older PSUs. Ensure your chassis has enough length and airflow clearance for the dual-slot Founders Edition form factor.
