5080 sff

[Leon Kocherman]

Hello. I am planning to purchase a 5080 SFF card. Which one would u recommend?

The one you can afford and find

Assuming you find one ,as the stocks are tight to say the least, you dont really care about who is the manifacturer as they dont impact perforamnce in any meaningful way (temps can change for like 2ish degree which is negligible at best)

If you find one thats good, if you find one that you also like the look of thats better

Please define what you think a Small Form Factor 5080 is? There's only one said SFF 5080 and that's the reference one... all the rest are thicker than 2 slots.

 

I was wrong, Inno3D also has a 2 slot cooler. So Reference 5080 of Inno3D 5080 are your only choices.

There is also AT LEAST one from gigabyte

Or at least it is advertised as SFF

Sure they have SFF in the name but from their own marketing material the cooler shroud exceeds the metal bracket height. More like a 2.5 slot card.

Compare that to the FE and X3:

Scummy marketing or overselling it

Call it
Although at least it isnt a 3.5+ slot as others so i guess they call it that cause it is definitively smaller that a regular 5080 from other manifacturers and their own regulare model(?)

Good luck with that buddy. Even the Waterforce cards with the pre-installed waterblocks are still 2 slots so no better than the FE cards and then you have a 360 rad ro fit as well.

 

Slim or SFF GPUs in the xx80 or xx90 range just aren't a thing unless you are looking at specialised single slot water cooled stuff designed for servers.

Imma just use what @venomtail said about the gigabyte card cause that at least for me shows the name doesnt quite fit

• 50 mm or 2.5 slots maximum depth

There's the disconnect. NVIDIA has labeled that any card under 2.5 slots is "Small Form Factor" yet these are so big they wouldn't fit my actual mITX case with a maximum GPU thickness of 2 slots...
