Nvidia RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition Review
09.02.2024 - 13:16 / mmorpg.com / Joseph Bradford
The third of Nvidia’s Super GPUs to launch this month, the RTX 4080 Super is effectively a replacement for the existing RTX 4080 the company launched in 2022. The RTX 4080 Super brings 4K gaming to the market, with a drop in price to boot.
While the original RTX 4080 was released at an eye-watering $1199 back in November 2022, the RTX 4080 Super launches today with a $200 drop in its price, coming in at $999. This is still a lot of money for a GPU, though if you’re in the high-end market, this puts it more evenly with the RTX 4080 Super’s direct competitor, the AMD RX 7900 XTX, which launched in 2022 for $999.

RTX 4080 Super First Thoughts
Out of the three RTX 40-series Super cards to release this month, the RTX 4080 Super might have the smallest performance bump over its predecessor, with Nvidia claiming only up to 3% difference. There isn’t a ton of room for improvement here at this price range unless Nvidia wants to eat into the performance of its flagship, the mighty RTX 4090.
Yet despite this, the RTX 4080 Super is compelling because of that price drop. Even if it pans out at a 3% improvement, the RTX 4080 Super also comes in for less money, making it more price competitive with the rest of the GPUs in the performance range.
So what does that $999 get you? The RTX 4080 Super takes the same all-black look as the rest of the Founders Edition Super cards, completely with the black-anodized aluminum Mobius strip that wraps elegantly around the fans and heatsink fins. This is still a behemoth of a card, coming in as a 4-slot GPU that makes using the rest of your PCIe slots basically a pipedream (at least on our rig).
The RTX 4080 Super comes with 10240 CUDA cores, a 5% bump over the RTX 4080’s 9728 CUDA cores (and 37% fewer than the RTX 4090’s 16384 cores), while it has a slightly faster base and boost clock, 2295 MHz and 2550 MHz, respectively, over the RTX 4080. Both GPU’s come with the same 16GB GDDR6X RAM, though the RTX 4080 Super has a slightly faster bandwidth, clocking in a 736 GB/s over the 717 GB/s on the RTX 4080.
