Performance comparison: which is faster?
GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER (NVIDIA, 2024) and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (NVIDIA, 2024) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: RTX 4080 SUPER is about 14.5% faster
Both have 16GB of VRAM, so they support a similar range of generative AI models. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | RTX 4080 SUPER | RTX 4070 Ti SUPER |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 35,500 | 31,000 |
| VRAM | 16GB | 16GB |
| Manufacturer | NVIDIA | NVIDIA |
| Series | RTX 40 | RTX 40 |
| Release Year | 2024 | 2024 |
| Compatible CPU Example | Ryzen 9 9950X3D | Ryzen 9 9950X3D |
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | RTX 4080 SUPER |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | RTX 4080 SUPER |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (the lower model is often sufficient) |
RTX 4080 SUPER is about 14.5% higher by score (RTX 4080 SUPER: 35500 points / RTX 4070 Ti SUPER: 31000 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Both have 16GB of VRAM, so the range of generative AI models they can run is nearly the same.
Using our guideline, Ryzen 9 9950X3D pairs well with RTX 4080 SUPER and Ryzen 9 9950X3D with RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
