Benchmarks for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER have surfaced on Geekbench, alluding to a new version of NVIDIA’s second-best Ada graphics card for gamers that offers only a minimal performance upgrade over the current, non-SUPER model. Most of NVIDIA’s marketing materials have compared the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER to the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, advertising “2x faster” performance, but the company has also reportedly admitted that the new GPU only offers 3% faster than the standard GeForce RTX 4080.

Performance comparison:
Although the RTX 4080 SUPER has slightly more cores, even NVIDIA said that it would be 3% faster than the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER, and that too only at higher 4K resolutions while the differences will be minimal at sub-4K resolutions. The card does get a price drop to $999 US which makes it highly competitive against the RX 7900 XTX but besides that, most gamers shouldn’t expect much from the final SUPER variant.
