Performance and Architecture
Powered by 10,240 shader cores and a boost clock of 2,550 MHz, the 4080 Super delivers 52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power. This raw horsepower translates into exceptionally smooth frame rates in modern games and rapid completion of complex 3D rendering tasks.
Memory and Speed
The card features 16 GB of GDDR6X video memory across a 256-bit bus width. With a memory speed of 23 Gbps and a last-level cache of 64 MB, it pushes a memory bandwidth of 736 GB/s, ensuring high-resolution textures load instantly without stutter.
Power and System Requirements
Operating at a board power of 320 W, the card requires a robust power supply unit. NVIDIA recommends a 750 W PSU, though this assumes a system paired with a Ryzen 9 5900X, and actual needs will vary by your specific configuration.
The card connects using a 12V-2x6 power connector, and a 3x PCIe 8-pin adapter ships in the box for power supplies lacking a native PCIe Gen 5 cable.
Physical Size and Display Connectivity
Measuring 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and spanning a 3-slot width, this graphics card requires substantial clearance inside your PC case. For monitors and VR headsets, it provides one HDMI 2.1a port and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, supporting up to 4 displays simultaneously alongside hardware-encoded AV1 video.
