In terms of performance, the ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua Edition performs on par with higher-end RTX 5080 models and clocks respectably well around the 3 GHz range. We didn't notice any performance anomalies throughout our testing, and with the extra 450W BIOS, you can definitely get a lot more out of this fantastically built model. As for the cooling solution, it's exquisite and powerful. With Noctua's latest 120mm fans, you get top-tier cooling, and at the lowest noise levels we have seen so far across all of the 5080 models we have tested so far. It's really silent even at full load, and what makes it even more impressive is that ASUS isn't sacrificing the thermals of this card. It still runs really cool, and that's where this card really shines. ASUS and Noctua have also added extra noise and vibration-dampening pads on the heatsink and the shroud, making sure that the card really goes for those super low noise levels.
“The ASUS GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition is also an impressive graphics card because it's a 4K gaming GPU that makes no noise at all when you're gaming - which is remarkable to witness in person.
