NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

Specifications, where the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER sits for gaming, the processor worth pairing with it, and the frame rate the pair returns at every resolution.

Pair it with

Ryzen 9 9900X3D

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D return about 110 fps on High at 1440p with neither part wasting the other. A processor slower than the Ryzen 9 9900X3D leaves the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER idling, and a faster one adds no frames to a GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER at this resolution.

What these numbers mean for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

On our index the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scores 82.0, which places it 4th of the 89 graphics cards we track and puts it faster than roughly 97% of them.

The nearest part below the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the GeForce RTX 4080 at 80.0, 2.4% slower, and a margin of 2.4% sits inside the run to run variance you would see replaying the same scene in most games.

16 GB of memory means video memory will never be the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER limiting factor at any resolution it is fast enough to run, including 4K with high texture settings and ray tracing switched on.

At 320 W the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER deserves real attention on power: a card in this bracket draws brief spikes well above its 320 W rating, and an older ATX 2.x supply can trip its own protection at a total wattage that looks safe on paper. Budget roughly 700 W for a machine built around a GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, and treat the ATX 3.0 or 3.1 label as mattering more than that number.

GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER frame rate at each resolution

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER paired with the Ryzen 9 9900X3D on the High preset with 16 GB of system memory. The card is the limit throughout, so the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER falls the full 57% from 148 fps to 64 fps as the pixel count rises.

How the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER compares

6 cards sit within 30% of the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER on our gaming index, running from the GeForce RTX 4090 at +22% to the Radeon RX 9070 XT at -11%, a window narrow enough that price, memory and power decide it rather than raw speed.

What to pair with the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, and when to upgrade

Best CPU for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

When the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER becomes the limit, the GeForce RTX 5090 is the next step worth paying for: 135.0 on our index against 82.0, a jump of 65%, which is roughly where an upgrade stops being something you have to look at a counter to notice. See its specs.
