Best RTX 4080 Super Gaming PC Build 2024! 😄 [Testing NVIDIA's $999 GPU in 10+ Titles]

the new RTX 480 super has landed and with a $200 price reduction over the original 480 and Promises of a bit more performance could this be the new go-to 4k GPU for under $11,000 in this video I'll be finding out by building the best RTX 480 super gaming PC build to see just how this card Stacks up and evaluate which parts are best paired up with nvidia's latest high-end GPU let's do this the Asus Rog Swift PG 49 wcd is an insane 49 in super ultra wide panel that packs a punch with a vibrant QD OLED display 0.03 millisecond response time and 144 HZ refresh rate this thing is crazy the 1,000 nits Peak brightness back top with a custom heat sink design and improved air flow keeps the panel bright and prevents burning while a built-in KVM and 90 WS of USBC power delivery makes this a great monitor for a multitude of applications learn more at the first links in the description below the RTX 480 super is the final of the three super gpus to release following their announcement at CES earlier this year the super lineup is a midlife refresh that aims to make the existing 40 series cards more attractive we've seen this with the 4070 super where we saw a really quite significant uplift in performance with the 4070 TI super where we saw 4 gigs more vram and now the 4080 super which should deliver a slight performance bump but more crucially a massive reduction to its price in the $999 price tag puts it more in line with an AMD 7900 XTX though the AMD card is still notably a bit cheaper we also giving you a small bump in core counts and clock speeds that should deliver that bit more performance at 4K we're not expecting anything 4090 wise in video of not replaced or supered that GPU for once of a better expression but what this card should do is make the 408 a much more attractive proposition many people say that this is the price the original 408 should have been I guess in video will argue differently as it's a card that's sold pretty well but times are changing and GPU prices have falling at a faster rate than I've really ever seen you keep the same ad a love lace architecture as what we saw with the original 480 the VR Remains the Same at 16 gigs that is 8 gigs less than the 7900 XTX from AMD this card's closest rival though vram botton neck are not a huge thing right now at 16 gigs but that's not to say they won't become that in the future this pallet card is a slight overclock design that sits marginally above the MSRP price point and I like the design I think it looks really really quite nice back plate with silver and black while the rest of the card is again silver and black with some RGB accents for good measure with the power consumption being where it is calling for 40 series is not a massive problem and I'm glad that cards like this aren't ludicrously large because but simply there is no need now to test this card out we obviously need to pick a spree of good components to pair it up with and while I've not done this build on the cheap I also don't want to spend huge amounts of money for the sake of it and I think that's most evident when we look at the CPU and motherboard combo that I'll be pairing up our 480 super with the processor first of all amd's ryzen 77800 x3d now if you're building a system like this for gaming and gaming only this is an absolutely superb choice if you do want to do some video editing rendering streaming not up to a higher end ryzen 9 or I9 processor for gaming though as I say the 7800 X 3D is going to be absolutely spot on we get eight cores and 16 threads which is more than enough for even the latest AAA titles clock speeds are pretty unparalleled and the major major thing with this CPU is the amount of L3 cash you get for reference you get 96 Megs of L3 cash on this CPU 33 Megs on Intel's 14700 K perhaps this Chip's closest rival you can also find it for under $400 which is really quite amazing and I leave latest pric and availability for everything down in the description below as far as motherboard goes I've actually gone for a B6 650 design in this build this is the Asus tough gaming b650 M plus now you might be wondering why I've gone b650 and to be honest with you the reason's quite simple the RTX 480 doesn't need PCI G 5 so no need to Splash out the extra for that on our PCI slot and although your overclocking Headroom on this chipset won't be quite as expensive as on x670 you can't really overclock the 7800 x3d anyway there's kind of no need to spend the extra cash I also wanted toit Micro ATX because of the case Choice which I'll come on to later one of the most hotly anticipated chassis iser at CES so this is going to do the job no problems at all CPU obviously installs nice and easily it really is amazing how much the platform costs for am5 have come down I remember when these chips first launched the boards were just so expensive and I wondered if they'd ever come down in price and thankfully they have memory wise I've got a kit of this tough Ram from thermal tape one of my favorite looking more premium design of memory but to be honest with you any ddr5 kit with a decent speed and low latency is going to be totally fine right just like a low latency killer memory so make sure you go for something that isn't too high you want sort of Cl 30 CL 32 avoid any CL 40 kits or above most definitely 32 gigs for this build is going to be totally fine but it's nice to have the upgrade paths open for 64 gigs if we want it later on storage wise I've got something actually quite exciting for this build this is the brand new Corsair mp600 Elite now this one comes with a heat snc but you can save yourself some money and buy it without a heat sink as well if you wish and this has got read speeds of up to 7 gigs with of up to 6 and 1/2 it's basically saturating most of the gem 4 mvme bus and it's of course not going to bottleneck the graphics card 40 series cards I got so fast especially 4080 80 super 90 but fast storage is important to make sure your system can read all those game files with enough time I'll be installing it into the top m.2 slot and because there's a heat sink buil in already I can save that away in my motherboard box as I won't be needing it for the one that's built in on this drive with the motherboard all sorted the next thing to do is go ahead and get the case and this thing really cool it's kind of like a time capsule is sort of the best way I can describe it and I saw a few people cover it at CES and I was like yeah that's really kind of awesome it uses up to Micro ATX motherboards but you can install mini ITX designs in here too what's most impressive is the GPU and radiator support with the graphics card going on the left and the radiator going on the right of the case you can actually support easily 360s but up to 4 20 mil Allin ones and super long gpus like this pallet card right here now best thing to do with any case is just to sort of take the whole thing apart so top panel comes off without too much bother and then I believe with the glass panel it should just be a case of pushing it in that's not too difficult either and then the rest of the case is basically magnetic so it should just be a case of pulling these side panels off how easy is that I really like these side glass panels as well so the whole thing's not too Square I think that's one thing that really appeals to me about this case and as I say the whole thing is very very easy to take apart often one of the biggest challenges with a case like this is cooling but if we use our large radiator as intake the the graphics card can pull from this mesh panel and then at the top of the case there are actually two 140s pre-installed that come included that should help give us plenty of active exhaust for good measure like in pretty much all of my builds I am going to lay the case down flat in order to install the motherboard by the looks of things all the standoffs are in the right place so it should just be a case of sliding the motherboard in a couple of screws to go in three at the top three along the middle and then two towards the bottom to secure the whole board in it fits pretty well and there's room by the looks of things for our CPU and any fan cables which is nice to see the next Port of Call is going to be Cooling and that's where my choice of thermal tapes tough liquid 360 argb syn comes in it's one of the more budget oriented coolers you've got this nice little water block that looks pretty good but I am going to be swapping the included fans out for some RGB ones instead I can link the cooler that comes with the RGB fans in the description below as I say I am going to use this radiator as an intake so the fans are going to pull air in from outside the chassis and the RGB illumination should also help with Aesthetics it's a bit of a win-win really with this case being so open frame the whole AIO is fairly easy to install just got to screw the rad and the fans of course to the integrated fan and radiator mount on the right hand side of the case and then add the water block and a bit of thermal paste on top of our 7800 x3d CPU I'm going to deal with all the cables and wiring a little bit later on the next part is the graphics card and I'm very very excited about this bit now you can see here where the unique design and form facture of this case actually begins to make a lot of sense so with a spot a look it should just be a case of angling the graphics card in just be really careful when you do this there we are and I've just realized I've not removed the PCI Lanes so I'm going to take those out up here first then slide the GPU in and of course that air flow through the side panel should be topnotch I ended up lying the case down flat as that proved to be the easier way of actually installing the GPU and I have to say that looks really really good now of course power supply is still remaining and to be honest with you any atx3 80 plus gold certified unit with that gem 5 power connector will be totally fine this is the tough power 850 as I say going to do absolutely perfectly for the build today and the fully modular cables mean we only plug in the ones we actually need to the inclusion of the G 5 cables also Mega useful as it's going to really help us refine the cable management to the graphics card with this being a fully modular unit only got to plug in the cables that we actually need to this video is not intended to be a full cables and wiring guide but we have got one of those on the channel which you can go and check out if you wish you also get a removable PSU bracket at the rear of the case which is going to make installing the power supply that little bit easier and is a nice touch to see take this out screw the PSU in and obviously connect all your cables up with the motherboard CPU and GPU cables all run into their respective places and with that All That Remains is to P all the panels back on so I'm going to do that first before turning this thing on to see exactly how it looks and of course how our 480 super performs and whether you should buy one in the gaming [Music] benchmarks [Music] the first Port of Call for our testing was Starfield he we tested at 1440p high settings and the RTX 480 super delivered 110 FPS on average a very impressive playable frame rate at 1440p but hardly a huge improvement over the original RTX 480 a card which delivered 108 FPS on average this is a pattern that very much continues throughout much of our testing and our Apex Legends result at 1440p high was not much different the 480 super on its own individually proved impressive with 271 FPS beaten out everything by the 490 and AMD 7900 XTX but once again the Improvement on the original 480 of just 11 FPS represents a tiny Improvement as far as frame rate goes Hogwarts Legacy at 1440p high was once again a similar tale 5 FPS increase this time over the original 480 at 131 versus 126 cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p High We performed really well actually on the 480 super here with our R tracing and dlss disabled we sat at 141 level with the 7900 XTX they turn RT on and set it to high dss3 and you can see nvidia's advantage in this realm certainly start to show I mean just look at all those really high-end AMD cards at the very bottom of the graph fortnite was a similar story good performance but nothing that's going to set the world on fire versus the previous card 320 FPS on average an improvement over 305 on the original 480 actually one of the more pronounced improvements we've seen but still nothing exactly World beating now to be clear that isn't necessarily a problem this is a card that intends to deliver far better value for money and a small Improvement on performance it's not like similar performance to the 480 is exactly disappointing or unexpected in war zone at 1440p high with dlss and FSR enabled and set to Quality on their respective AMD and Nvidia gpus the 480 super once again beats out the rest of the field bar in the 7900 X X and the 490 188 FPS on average represented a 5% Improvement if that over the original 480 Modern Warfare 2 at 1440p high settings and the 480 super topped R charts beating out the original 480 by3 the 7900 XTX by 11 and everything else by a pretty considerable margin to give you some numbers for some Sim racing games Formula 1 2022 at 1440p ultra high and the 480 super again performed well with a 5 FPS incremental improvement over the original RTX 480 where you'll start to see improvements are on our cost per frame graphs here you can see the RTX 480 super delivers far better value than the original 480 mainly due to its $200 reduction in MSRP to round things off we also tested Allen weight 2 forgive us our data set is still a little bit small here and we're working to get it bigger and bigger as we spend a bit more time with the game the 480 super though delivering again improvements over the original RTX 480 But Here by individual or fraction frames per second rather than 5 10% improvements the 480 super then a really compelling card for the price and that's the bit that really really matters yes it could have a little bit more vram to compete with something like the 7900 XTX a bit more squarely and yes it is by no means without competition amd's aformentioned highest end XTX GPU really does perform well and gives the 480 some serious pressure but does this card the super variant build upon the original design and provide better value for money it most certainly does and for that I've got to actually commend in video If you enjoyed this video get subscribed see more from me thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one
