GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 5060: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 5060
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 115% ahead of the GeForce RTX 5060. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 5060 is better matched to 1440p. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER packs 10,240 CUDA cores versus 3,840 on the GeForce RTX 5060.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 5060 starts at $417 CAD against $1,600 CAD for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 5060 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~78% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 5060 still sits about $118 CAD above its $299 CAD MSRP. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER still sits about $601 CAD above its $999 CAD MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 5060 draws just 145W versus 320W for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Blackwell architecture on a TSMC 4N process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 8GB, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 5060's 8GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER's memory is also faster — 736 GB/s versus 448 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER or GeForce RTX 5060?
Choose the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 5060 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
