Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 SUPER decisively outperforms the RTX 4070 SUPER, leading by a substantial 36.7% in overall GPU score. This performance advantage is clear across our GPU benchmarks, with the RTX 4080 SUPER hitting 62.6 FPS in Earth II (Vulkan) compared to the RTX 4070 SUPER's 44.2 FPS, and delivering 79.2 FPS in Mission to Earth II (DX12) versus 55.6 FPS. The RTX 4080 SUPER also comes equipped with more VRAM at 16 GB and a higher memory bandwidth of 163 GB/s, which contributes to its superior performance, while its peak clock speed is slightly lower at 2775 MHz compared to the RTX 4070 SUPER's 2820 MHz. For gamers, this translates to a significantly smoother and more premium experience, especially in demanding games. However, it's worth noting that the RTX 4080 SUPER's data is based on only one verified run, so actual performance could vary, though it currently ranks 5th overall compared to the RTX 4070 SUPER at 9th.

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
