NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super Review

The RTX 4080 Super replaced the original RTX 4080 in early 2024 at a $999 price point, $200 below the card it succeeded, while delivering a modest clock speed bump on the same core configuration.

10,240 CUDA cores versus 9728 on the original 4080 and higher clocks give the Super a small but real performance edge, though the headline change was NVIDIA cutting the price by $200 in response to competitive pressure from AMD's RX 7900 XTX.

A Price Correction as Much as a Refresh

10,240 CUDA cores (versus 9728 on the original 4080) and higher clocks give the Super a small but real performance edge, but the headline change was NVIDIA cutting the price by $200 to respond to competitive pressure from AMD's RX 7900 XTX.

Flagship-Tier 4K Performance

With 16GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, the 4080 Super handles native 4K at high settings in nearly everything, reserving DLSS for the most demanding ray-traced titles.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the RTX 4090, the 4080 Super gives up roughly 20-25% performance for a meaningfully lower price. Against the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the 4080 Super trails slightly in raw rasterization but leads clearly in ray tracing and upscaling quality.
