Notes on 3 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 750 W minimum assumes a PC with a Ryzen 9 5900X; needs vary by configuration.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super, Power connectors: Nvidia's 16-pin header is the 12V-2x6 variant; an adapter cable for non-ATX 3.0 power supplies ships with the card.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super, Power connectors: Card takes a 16-pin 12V-2x6 connector; a 3x PCIe 8-pin adapter ships in the box for PSUs without a PCIe Gen 5 cable.

Performance and power

The RTX 4080 Super pulls ahead with 10,240 shader cores and 52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power, leaving the 7,168 cores and 35.5 TFLOPS of the RTX 4070 Super behind. Higher base and boost clocks further accelerate the heavier card for demanding workloads.

That extra muscle demands more energy, requiring a 320 W board power and a 750 W recommended PSU compared to the 220 W board power and 600 W minimum of the lighter card.

Memory and bandwidth

Gamers pushing high resolutions will notice the 16 GB of video memory and 736 GB/s memory bandwidth on the RTX 4080 Super. A wider 256-bit memory bus and 64 MB of last-level cache support these heavier data loads.

The RTX 4070 Super settles for 12 GB of video memory and a 192-bit memory bus, delivering 504 GB/s of bandwidth and a 48 MB last-level cache that suits more moderate setups.
