Renowned among PC gaming and system building communities, Noctua has garnered widespread affection not only for its top-tier performance and whisper-quiet operation but also for its unmistakable brown and tan color scheme—a visual emblem cherished by aficionados worldwide. Particularly coveted are Asus graphics cards outfitted with custom Noctua fans, a rare gem that inspires fervent admiration. Following the successful release of Noctua Edition cards for the RTX 3070, 3080, and 4080, the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super emerges as the latest entrant to receive the prestigious owl-branded treatment.
The Asus GeForce RTX 4080 Super Noctua OC Edition graphics card has made its debut on the official websites of both Asus and Noctua, as highlighted by WCCFTech. Staying true to tradition, this meticulously crafted card features a robust four-slot shroud housing two 120mm NF-A12x25 fans, forsaking flashy RGB embellishments for Noctua’s signature brown and tan allure. Asus’ bespoke design includes an array of video output ports—triple DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 1.4—alongside a subtle factory overclock, nudging the core clock from 2610MHz to 2640MHz.
While specifics regarding the release date and pricing for the RTX 4080 Super Noctua OC Edition remain undisclosed, precedent suggests it will demand a notable premium over the base RTX 4080 Super’s $999.99 retail price. Enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the Asus Noctua edition should brace themselves—both their PC enclosures and budgets—for the impending launch. Given the rarity of these highly sought-after cards, securing one during the initial sales phase is paramount, as they often command considerable markups on the secondary market.
