At last we come to the core appeal of RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition, noise levels (or lack thereof). Even under the pressures of Alan Wake 2 complete with path tracing, this behemoth is practically inaudible in a normal room.

Operating at ≤30dBA is impressive for any graphics card, but is especially noteworthy for one with 360W coursing through it. It’s at once eerie and exciting to have the power of an RTX 5080 running silently at full pelt with no consequence to performance. Outstanding results, and a fine showcase of what a supersized card can do when tuned for no noise.
