Where to buy
$999MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.
No retailer links are configured for this card yet. CompareYourGPU does not publish purchase links it cannot stand behind, so nothing is shown here rather than a button that goes nowhere.

Should you buy it?
Niche recommendation
This card is out of production. New stock is scarce and priced unpredictably, so it only makes sense at a genuine discount against a current-generation equivalent.
4K gaming at 60+ FPS
Why
- Estimated performance index of 63 at 4K, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
- 16 GB of memory is comfortable for 4K, so texture settings stay out of the conversation.
- Ray tracing costs it relatively little: an index of 65 against 63 in rasterisation.
- 320 W board power makes it one of the more efficient cards for the frame rate it delivers.
- Supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation.
- At 4K the RTX 4080 SUPER is 5% faster than the RTX 5070 Ti while costing $250 more, so you are paying for the extra speed rather than getting it for free. Based on launch MSRP.
Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.
Watch out for
This card is out of production, so new stock is scarce and pricing is unpredictable. It is only worth considering at a genuine discount.
Consider instead
- RTX 5080 if ray tracing is your priority. Its ray tracing index is 72 against 65, at $999.
- RTX 5070 Ti if you want more performance for the money. It returns 8.0 index points per $100 against 6.3.

How this was measured, and what it is not
Geometric mean of average FPS. Vendor upscaling at Quality (DLSS on GeForce, FSR on Radeon, XeSS on Arc), with native TAA in a minority of titles. Not native resolution, and not a like-for-like image-quality comparison across vendors.
The ray tracing rating covers a smaller 7-game suite than the 21-game rasteriser rating, so the two are not directly comparable with each other either. ComputerBase does not test every card at every resolution; a card missing from a table has no figure here rather than an inferred one.
Because of that, these figures are not directly comparable with the estimated index above, which describes native resolution with no upscaling. Read each on its own terms rather than against the other.
Test system: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Transcribed by CompareYourGPU on from ComputerBase.
Per-game measured results
No verified benchmark data yet
CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the RTX 4080 SUPER yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.
In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features
What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.
Supported. This card uses 3rd-generation RT cores.
DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.
DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.
Hardware AV1 encode is supported. 8th-generation NVENC with AV1 and HEVC encode (dual encoder). 5th-generation NVDEC with AV1, HEVC and H.264 decode.
Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits
CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.

- Dual NVENC encoders
- 16 GB of GDDR6X
Weaknesses
- Out of production
- No DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation
- Undercut on price and features by newer cards

Price, value and efficiency
What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.
$999MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
Good priceFair price for this performance: $1,131
Good buy below $1,041 · expensive above $1,267
The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.
Performance per dollar
6.8
Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.
That places it in the upper half of the database on value.
Performance per watt
21.3
Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.
That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.
RTX 4080 SUPER frequently asked questions
Is the RTX 4080 SUPER good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 180-260 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 165+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RTX 4080 SUPER good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 125-175 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 144+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RTX 4080 SUPER good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 65-95 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 16 GB gives real headroom at 4K, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
How much VRAM does the RTX 4080 SUPER have?
The RTX 4080 SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, giving 736 GB/s of bandwidth. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
What power supply does the RTX 4080 SUPER need?
NVIDIA recommends a 750 W power supply for a complete system built around the RTX 4080 SUPER, which draws 320 W of board power. It uses 1x 16-pin (12VHPWR).
Which upscaling technologies does the RTX 4080 SUPER support?
It supports DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the RTX 4080 SUPER good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 65 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 68, so it retains about 96% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a strong result: it loses relatively little ground compared with the rest of the database. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the RTX 4080 SUPER cost?
It launched at $999 MSRP and is now out of production. CompareYourGPU does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RTX 4080 SUPER?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RX 7900 XTX at $999. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RTX 4080 SUPER is about 1% behind, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
