GeForce RTX 4080 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4080 vs GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER
The GeForce RTX 4080 is significantly faster, around 32% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 4K with upscaling and native 1440p. The GeForce RTX 4080 packs 9,728 CUDA cores versus 7,168 on the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. The GeForce RTX 4080 also has more RT cores (76 vs 56) and more AI cores (304 vs 224), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER starts at $719 GBP against $1,917 GBP for the GeForce RTX 4080. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER offers the better performance-per-dollar (~102% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $120 GBP above its $599 GBP MSRP. The GeForce RTX 4080 still sits about $718 GBP above its $1,199 GBP MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER draws just 220W versus 320W for the GeForce RTX 4080, 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 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER's 12GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 4080's memory is also faster — 717 GB/s versus 504 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 4080, so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or GeForce RTX 4080?
Choose the GeForce RTX 4080 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.
