NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER launching subsequent week
The firm has supplied reviewers with crucial drivers.
With the critiques for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER already out there (with extra to return later right now), NVIDIA is now turning its consideration to the launch of the RTX 4080 SUPER scheduled for subsequent week. This specific mannequin marks the ultimate addition to the SUPER collection and is (at the very least for now) the final desktop launch from NVIDIA.
Initial exams have been carried out on the cardboard, however none of them maintain important relevance for avid gamers. A reviewer, using a high-end Z790 platform outfitted with an Intel Core i9-14900Ok, has put the RTX 4080 SUPER by means of three Geekbench compute exams, masking three out of 4 out there graphics APIs: Vulkan, OpenCL, and CUDA.
RTX 4080 SUPER in Geekbench 5:
- Vulkan: 100378
- OpenCL: 264806
- CUDA: 309554

We also needs to bear in mind that at the very least one of many benchmarks (Vulkan) exhibits incorrect info. One can simply discover benchmarks with twice the rating on RTX 4080 non-SUPER, and even benchmarks that present almost the identical efficiency for different APIs. For this motive, we’re not trying to make any comparability as a result of it wouldn’t inform us something vital. What is required are newer Geekbench 6.0 exams, and the extra of them the higher.
The vital info is that reviewers obtained the drivers and can begin testing their RTX 4080 SUPER playing cards straight away, some have clearly already began. We will work on acquiring extra significant knowledge primarily based on 3DMark exams with gaming benchmarks coming from reviewers subsequent week.
The RTX 4080 SUPER isn’t anticipated to be a serious improve over RTX 4080, although. Unlike RTX 4070 SUPER which has over 20% extra cores or 4070 TI SUPER with 4GB extra reminiscence than their respective non-SUPER variations, the RTX 4080 SUPER is barely a 5% core enhance whereas sustaining the identical TDP. Ultimately, the RTX 4080 SUPER’s greatest function is the brand new $999 worth, which $200 decrease than the unique SKU’s.
