Noctua has solidified its reputation among PC gamers and system builders, not just for its exceptional performance and low noise, but also for its iconic brown and tan color scheme—a distinctive hallmark cherished by enthusiasts. Among their prized possessions are Asus graphics cards featuring custom Noctua fans, a rare find that garners fervent admiration. Following the release of Noctua Edition cards for the RTX 3070, 3080, and 4080, the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super now joins the lineup, receiving the coveted owl-branded treatment.
The Asus GeForce RTX 4080 Super Noctua OC Edition graphics card has made its appearance on both Asus and Noctua’s official websites, as reported by WCCFTech. Continuing the tradition set by its predecessors, this custom-designed card boasts a substantial four-slot shroud housing two 120mm NF-A12x25 fans, eschewing flashy RGB lighting for Noctua’s signature brown and tan aesthetic. Asus’ custom configuration includes five video output ports—triple DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 1.4—and a modest factory overclock, elevating the core clock from 2610MHz to 2640MHz.
While neither company has disclosed a release date or pricing details for the RTX 4080 Super Noctua OC Edition, past releases suggest it will command a significant premium over the standard RTX 4080 Super’s $999.99 retail price. As anticipation mounts, enthusiasts eager to secure the Asus Noctua edition should prepare both their PC cases and budgets accordingly. Given their scarcity, these sought-after cards often fetch substantial markups on the secondary market, emphasizing the importance of swift action during the initial sales window.
