ASUS RTX 4080 ROG Strix Review

Dominic Moass December 8, 2022 Featured Tech Reviews, Graphics, Reviews

For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition for 30 minutes.

Thermals are an impressive area for the ROG Strix. Both BIOS modes saw the GPU operate around the 60C mark, with the hot spot hovering below 70C. Both are excellent results, and although not the outright best, do remember that these are out of the box results – in other words, they don't take fan speed (therefore noise levels) into account.

You may also be wondering why both Performance and Quiet BIOS results are so similar. While the Quiet BIOS does run a significantly slower fan speed, it also has a lower power limit of 320W, compared to 360W for the Performance BIOS. It seems the lower power but lower fan speed of the Quiet BIOS is roughly matched by the higher power but higher fan speed of the Performance BIOS.
