GeForce RTX 5080 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 5080 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

The GeForce RTX 5080 is dramatically faster, around 56% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 5080 is comfortable at 4K and high-refresh 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is better matched to 4K with upscaling and native 1440p. The GeForce RTX 5080 packs 10,752 CUDA cores versus 7,168 on the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER.

Price & Value

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER currently lists from $1,149 CAD, $350 CAD less than the GeForce RTX 5080 at $1,499 CAD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 5080 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 19%. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $550 CAD above its $599 CAD MSRP. The GeForce RTX 5080 still sits about $500 CAD above its $999 CAD MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

At 220W against 360W, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce RTX 5080 carries 16GB versus 12GB on the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The extra 4GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce RTX 5080's memory is also faster — 960 GB/s versus 504 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or GeForce RTX 5080?

The GeForce RTX 5080 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER if you find it at a steep discount.
