NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super is a high-end desktop graphics card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. It uses the AD103 chip in full configuration with 10,240 cores and 16 GB GDDR6X graphics memory (256-bit bus with 23 Gbits).

Performance

The ray tracing performance is outstanding, thanks to 80 dedicated cores, and the 320 Tensor cores can be used for DLSS 3.

The gaming performance without DLSS is ideal for 4k with around 60fps and 2k with higher frame rates in demanding games without ray tracing effects (e.g. F1 22 or Cyberpunk 2077). With ray tracing, the use of DLSS is recommended. Compared to the competition, the performance without DLSS and ray tracing is slightly better than the significantly cheaper AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT.

The currently available RTX 4080 cards are very large (2.5 or 3 slots) and use the new 12VHPWR connector (which has caused some problems with adapters).

Power consumption

The AD103 chip is produced at TSMC in 5nm (4N with EUV) and is specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 320 watts (Nvidia recommends at least a 750-watt power supply).
