Zephyr, a niche board partner, occasionally launches graphics cards with unique designs. Their newest RTX 4080 variant boasts an all-in-one solution, integrating liquid cooling with a 280mm external radiator. This collaboration with Valkyrie, a cooling specialist, focuses solely on the cooler’s design and performance.
The card comes with an AD103 GPU featuring 9728 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR6X memory. Zephyr has outfitted it with three DisplayPort and one HDMI output, with power provided through a single 12VHPWR connector positioned on the side for better cable organization.
The card dimensions are 276x119x52 mm, slightly thicker than two slots. This measurement excludes the radiator and tubes, which will likely demand considerable space inside the chassis. Initially teased as the RTX 4080 SUPER, the first released model is, in fact, a non-SUPER version. Chinese media reports reveal that this model is now available for 8,099 RMB (about $1,180 USD), which is quite a high price. Surprisingly, the SUPER variant should theoretically be more affordable, but Zephyr hasn’t confirmed its production yet.
However, amidst rumors suggesting that NVIDIA has halted production of RTX 4080 GPUs in favor of the SUPER variant, the timing of this release becomes notably intriguing. This launch is likely to be of very limited quantity, not to mention that this design won’t be accessible globally.
