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 $679 EUR, $591 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 5080 at $1,270 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER offers the better performance-per-dollar (~20% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $80 EUR above its $599 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 5080 still sits about $271 EUR above its $999 EUR 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?

Choose the GeForce RTX 5080 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
