GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 4K with upscaling and native 1440p. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER packs 10,240 CUDA cores versus 8,192 on the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER currently lists from $1,600 CAD, $1,850 CAD less than the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop at $3,450 CAD. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER still sits about $601 CAD above its $999 CAD MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 150W against 320W, the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Blackwell architecture on a TSMC 4NP process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER carries 16GB versus 12GB on the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop. 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 4080 SUPER's memory is also faster — 736 GB/s versus 672 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 4080 SUPER or GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop?
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the faster card by about 33%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
