Ada Lovelace · 2024
The RTX 4080 Super, released in 2024, refines NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace flagship-adjacent card with 10,240 CUDA cores, 16GB of GDDR6X, and a 256-bit bus delivering 736GB/s of bandwidth - a clock-speed and bandwidth bump over the original 4080 rather than a different silicon configuration. It's a thoroughly capable native 4K gaming card with DLSS 3 frame generation adding further headroom.
Its 320W TDP calls for a case with good airflow and a solid power supply. It sits just below the RTX 4090 in NVIDIA's stack, offering most of the flagship experience at a noticeably lower price and power draw.
Top-of-the-line performance for 4K gaming and heavy creator workloads.
16 GB GDDR6X memory.
Push performance beyond base clock.
PCIe 4.0 x16
