Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 SUPER takes the win in this comparison, leading by a solid 27.9% in overall GPU score. It consistently outperformed the "NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell" across all gaming scenes, hitting 60.5 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 76.6 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, backed by a higher peak clock of 2790 MHz. For gamers, this means smoother frame rates and a better experience in demanding titles. While the "NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell" offers a higher raw compute ALU index and more VRAM at 24 GB, these aspects didn't translate into stronger gaming performance in our tests, which the RTX 4080 SUPER clearly dominated. Both cards were only seen in one or two verified runs, so there's some uncertainty in these early numbers.
Generated September 29, 2026 from the 3 verified runs available then. The verdict is never silently rewritten — new numbers get a new verdict.
What the numbers mean
The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
