  • Stays cool and quiet under load
  • Future-proofs you for demanding new titles
  • Runs raytracing like it's nothing special
Cons
  • Price still feels too high
  • Bigger than most dual-slot cases
  • Idle fan noise could be lower

Verdict

Our verdict on the RTX 4080 SUPER

The RTX 4080 SUPER is a high-end Ada Lovelace card that fixes the original’s price problem without changing its core performance.

Get it if you want top-tier 4K gaming and ray tracing without buying the absolute most expensive card on the market. Skip it if you game at 1440p or 1080p, where cheaper cards give you the same experience for hundreds less.

Buy it if…

  • You want high-res gaming with ray tracing and DLSS.
  • You edit 4K video or render 3D scenes for work.
  • You need a top-tier card but don't want the flagship price.
