NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER released next week
The company provided reviewers with the necessary drivers.
Reviews of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER have already been published (more reviews will be added later today), and NVIDIA is now turning its attention to the launch of the RTX 4080 SUPER, scheduled for next week. This particular model is the final addition to the SUPER series and (at least for now) the last desktop to be released by NVIDIA.
Initial tests were conducted on this card, but none of them were significant for gamers. A reviewer using the high-end Z790 platform with Intel Core i9-14900K put the RTX 4080 SUPER through three Geekbench compute tests and scored 3 out of 4 available graphics APIs (Vulkan, OpenCL, CUDA). We covered one.

- OpenCL: 264806
- CUDA: 309554

It should also be noted that at least one benchmark (Vulkan) is showing incorrect information. You can easily find benchmarks that score twice as high on RTX 4080 non-SUPER, or that perform about the same on other APIs. For this reason, we don’t compare because comparing doesn’t tell us anything important. All you need is the new Geekbench 6.0 tests, and the more tests the better.
The important information is that reviewers started testing the RTX 4080 SUPER card as soon as they received the drivers, and apparently some have already started. Next week, we’ll work on getting more meaningful data based on his 3DMark tests using game benchmarks provided by reviewers.
However, the RTX 4080 SUPER is not expected to be a major upgrade over the RTX 4080. Unlike the RTX 4070 SUPER, which has over 20% more cores than their respective non-SUPER versions, and the 4070 TI SUPER, which has 4GB more memory, the RTX 4080 SUPER has only 5 more cores while maintaining the same TDP. % is. After all, the RTX 4080 SUPER’s best feature is its new price of $999, which is $200 less than the original SKU.
