GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 4070: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 4070

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 51% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4070. 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 4070 is better matched to 1440p. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER packs 10,240 CUDA cores versus 5,888 on the GeForce RTX 4070. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER also has more RT cores (80 vs 46) and more AI cores (320 vs 184), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 4070 starts at $990 EUR against $1,274 EUR for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 18%. The GeForce RTX 4070 still sits about $390 EUR above its $600 EUR MSRP. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER still sits about $275 EUR above its $999 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 4070 draws just 200W 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.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 16GB against 12GB, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 4070's 12GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER's memory is also faster — 736 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 or GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 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 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER better than the GeForce RTX 4070?

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is dramatically faster, roughly 51% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 or the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the better 4K option — it's comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, and its 16GB of VRAM helps with 4K textures.

Is the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER worth the extra $284 EUR over the GeForce RTX 4070?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 16GB (vs 12GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.

Which is better for ray tracing, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER or the GeForce RTX 4070?

Both handle ray tracing, but the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has more RT cores, giving it better ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance than the GeForce RTX 4070.
