NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data for these two NVIDIA cards is limited to a single shared test: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. In that test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scores 6600 points, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5 points. The delta is 5.3 percent in favor of the RTX 4080 SUPER, the only test where both cards have directly comparable results.

The RTX 4080 SUPER holds a clear lead in this metric. A 5.3 percent advantage places it ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, though the margin is not overwhelming. In practical terms, the RTX 4080 SUPER completes the Steel Nomad workload with a higher frame throughput, and the gap is consistent with the differences in raw compute resources between the two architectures.

The RTX 4080 SUPER also has a substantially larger benchmark history in the database. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 54209, derived from ten separate tests including Geekbench OpenCL (219065), Geekbench Vulkan (260075), Passmark G3D (34245), Passmark GPU Compute (19822), and several legacy DirectX tests. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, has only the single Steel Nomad score of 6269.5 recorded, giving it an average benchmark score of 6270. This makes direct average-to-average comparison misleading, because the RTX 4080 SUPER's average includes many older and lighter workloads that pull the mean down. The only fair head-to-head comparison is the Steel Nomad result, where the RTX 4080 SUPER wins.

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database, the RTX 4080 SUPER sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs. Its closest competitor by average score is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, which averages 54247, a negligible 0.1 percent difference. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X averages 54828, 1.1 percent above the RTX 4080 SUPER. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB averages 55698, 2.7 percent higher. The AMD Radeon 8060S averages 55757, 2.8 percent higher. These deltas show the RTX 4080 SUPER performing slightly below a cluster of comparably priced and positioned cards in the aggregate benchmark pool, but the Steel Nomad result tells a more focused story.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, with its single recorded score, sits at the 36th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, which matches the 6270 average score exactly, a 0 percent delta. The AMD FirePro W600 averages 6223, which is 0.8 percent below the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 averages 6282, 0.2 percent above. The AMD Radeon R7 M350 averages 6327, 0.9 percent above. These are older, lower-end cards in the database, and the fact that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER lands in that neighborhood is a consequence of the sparse benchmark sample rather than an indication of its true capability.

The win count is one for the RTX 4080 SUPER and zero for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER in the shared test set. Every other benchmark in the database belongs exclusively to the RTX 4080 SUPER, so no additional head-to-head deltas can be computed.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4080 SUPER wins the only directly comparable benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with a 5.3 percent margin. It also holds the advantage in raw compute resources: more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more RT cores, more tensor cores, higher pixel rate, higher texture rate, higher FP32 and FP16 throughput, and a higher boost clock. For workloads that scale with shader count or ray tracing core count, the RTX 4080 SUPER is the stronger card based on the recorded data.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in memory bandwidth, delivering 896.0 GB/s versus 736.3 GB/s. It also uses faster GDDR7 memory with a higher effective speed of 28 Gbps versus 23 Gbps. Applications that are bandwidth-limited, such as certain high-resolution texture streaming or compute tasks with large data movement, may favor the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER despite its lower compute throughput. The newer card also uses the newer PCIe 5.0 interface and supports DisplayPort 2.1b, which could matter for very high refresh rate monitors. Its dual-slot form factor is more compact than the triple-slot RTX 4080 SUPER, and its lower launch MSRP of 749 USD versus 999 USD reflects a different market position.

The benchmark data, however, is not sufficient to confirm a performance win for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER in any test. The single Steel Nomad result shows it trailing, and no other shared benchmark exists. Its 36th percentile ranking among all GPUs is based on that limited sample, while the RTX 4080 SUPER's 86th percentile reflects a much broader set of tests. The RTX 4080 SUPER is the proven performer in the database, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER remains a newer, less-tested card with promising specifications but no recorded wins.

For users prioritizing compute throughput, ray tracing performance, and established benchmark results, the RTX 4080 SUPER is the choice supported by data. For users prioritizing memory bandwidth, newer display outputs, and a smaller physical footprint, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers advantages in those specific areas, though the benchmarks do not yet demonstrate a performance lead.
