About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2024 with a MSRP of $999. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD103) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4080 SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory, with a 1,438 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 736.3 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 4080 SUPER includes 10,240 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,295 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,550 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 320 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 112 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 320 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 80 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 4080 SUPER is a large graphics card, occupying 3 PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. With a thermal design power (TDP) of 320 W and a large, 3-slot size, it is recommended to use a power supply of 700 W and a case with sufficient space to accommodate the card. Compare your card's model and your case's dimensions to verify compatibility.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 4080 SUPER has the 2nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 83.23% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 87,055 score and $999 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 87.14. This is the 27th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $499. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU104) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2070 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 2070 SUPER includes 2,560 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,605 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,770 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 320 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 40 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 2070 SUPER occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a, USB Type-C display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 215 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 2070 SUPER has the 59th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 33.43% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 34,963.5 score and $499 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 70.07. This is the 45th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
