NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU Specifications: Full AD103 Die With the World's Fastest G6X

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER utilizes the AD103-400 GPU (PG139 SKU 355) with the full 10,240 cores, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, and 64 MB of L2 cache. The GPU will also be clocked slightly higher at a 2295 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost versus the 2205 MHz base and 2505 MHz boost of the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER variant.

The graphics card will use a 256-bit bus interface with 16 GB GDDR6X memory, the same as the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER but boosted to 23 Gbps, making it the fastest G6X solution in the world, offering up to 736 GB/s of bandwidth which is around a 3% boost over the Non-SUPER variant. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER will feature the same TGP as the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER at 320W. The card offers 52 Shader TFLOPs, 121 RT TFLOPs, and 836 AI TOPs while supporting all the latest NV encode technologies such as AV1 and H.264.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU Performance: RX 7900 XT Competitor At Same Pricing

In terms of gaming performance, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is said to be around 3% faster than the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER which isn't a huge gain but custom models will deliver close to 5% performance boosts. NVIDIA also mentioned that in CPU-bound scenarios, the RTX 4080 SUPER and RTX 4080 Non-SUPER are very similar in performance but the card offers a 2x boost over the RTX 3080 Ti with frame-gen applied, something that the older Ampere and Turing cards don't offer.

AI is a major talking point for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER and the RTX 40 SUPER series in general, delivering up to 2x faster performance with DLSS 3.5, 70% faster image generation & 50% faster video generation speeds using ML optimizations through the Tensor-RT and Tensor-RT LLM stack that has been available on Windows and is being updated on the go.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU is the direct competition for this card as it retails for the same price. The RTX 4080 and 7900 XTX trade blows in rasterized performance with the RDNA 3 GPU taking an edge in certain titles but with RT and more advanced graphical features, the NVIDIA GPU blazes ahead so the RTX 4080 SUPER is going to take the lead further at an even better value. Personally, this should've been the specs, price, and performance for the RTX 4080 since the start.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU Power Efficiency: Absolutely Shattering Perf/Watt

Another talking point for the NVIDIA GeForce RT 40 SUPER GPUs such as the RTX 4080 SUPER is its class-leading performance efficiency. While the GPU is rated at 320W, the actual gaming wattage is around 246W on average which is almost half the TGP of the RTX 4090 and much lower than what the Radeon RX 7900 series consumes. The video playback power is also 22W out of the box while idle power is 15W, something that the AMD RDNA 3 GPUs had trouble fixing during launch.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU Pricing & Availability

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU is now available in both Founders Edition and Non-FE models, starting at $999 US. There are plenty of custom models to select from such as the ones shown below:
