RTX 4080 SUPER
71Score
$999MSRP16 GB320 WIndex 68 at 1440p
The last of the Ada high-end cards. It still delivers strong 4K performance, but the RTX 5070 Ti gets close for less money and adds the newer DLSS feature set.
RTX 4080 SUPER vs RTX 5070 Ti
The previous generation's upper tier against the current generation's step below it. The two are close in speed, and the newer card launched $250 cheaper with the newer feature set. It is a clear example of a generation lowering the price of a given level of performance.

60Score
$1,51016 GB300 WIndex 65 at 1440p
The most sensible high-end RTX 50 card: 16 GB of memory, near-RTX 5080 feature parity and a 300 W power budget, for meaningfully less money. It is the natural pick for a high-refresh 1440p build that might move to 4K later.
RTX 4080 SUPER comes out ahead of RTX 5070 Ti.
- RTX 4080 SUPER is about 5% faster than RTX 5070 Ti at 1440p.
The score blends performance at 1440p (50%), performance per dollar (30%) and memory headroom (20%), each against every card CompareYourGPU tracks. Fewer than three points apart counts as level. How verdicts are calculated.

Prices and where to buy
Each price carries its source and date, or is labelled as a launch MSRP. The retailer page is the authority on today's price.
RTX 4080 SUPER
$999MSRP
Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

The shape of the trade-off
All six axes are normalised to a 0-100 scale so they can share one chart. Performance and ray tracing are CompareYourGPU’s estimated indices; value, VRAM, efficiency and features are each card’s standing relative to every other card tracked here.

Which one should you buy?
Based on the specifications, estimated performance indices and prices on record for these cards. How verdicts are calculated.
Maximum performance
Highest estimated performance index at 1440p of the cards compared here, at 68. It is the right answer if frame rate is the only thing you are optimising for.
Best value
Delivers the most performance per dollar of the cards compared, at $999. Choose this if the difference in price matters more to you than the difference in frame rate.
Ray tracing
Strongest ray-traced performance here, with an estimated ray tracing index of 65 at 1440p. It also carries DLSS 4 Super Resolution, which is how ray tracing becomes practical.
Memory headroom
Carries 16 GB, the most headroom of the cards compared at 1440p. Memory is usually what dates a card before raw speed does.
Small or quiet builds
Best performance per watt of the cards compared, drawing 300 W. That means less heat, quieter fans and less pressure on your power supply.
Best overall
Best balance of speed, price and memory of the cards compared: 50% performance at 1440p, 30% performance per dollar, 20% memory headroom. Not necessarily the fastest.
RTX 4080 SUPER vs RTX 5070 Ti: common questions
Is the RTX 4080 Super faster than the RTX 5070 Ti?
Slightly, by about 5% at 1440p on CompareYourGPU's estimated index (68 against 65), which is only just beyond the margin the comparison table treats as level. Both have 16 GB.
Why choose the RTX 5070 Ti?
It launched at $749 against $999, draws 300 W against 320 W, supports DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and is still in production. The RTX 4080 Super is discontinued.
Is it worth paying more for the RTX 4080 Super?
Rarely. A used or leftover RTX 4080 Super is worth considering only if its price is at or below the RTX 5070 Ti's, since the speed difference is small.
