Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 SUPER takes a commanding lead in this comparison, outperforming the RTX 5070 by a significant 38.9% in overall GPU score, though both cards are based on a thin sample of just two verified runs. This superior performance is evident across our benchmarks, with the RTX 4080 SUPER delivering consistently higher frame rates, such as 60.5 FPS in Earth II (Vulkan) against the RTX 5070's 41.3 FPS, and a stronger raw compute indicated by its 488299 ALU index. Gamers will find the RTX 4080 SUPER offers a noticeably smoother experience and greater headroom for demanding titles thanks to its 16 GB of VRAM. While the RTX 5070 does boast a higher peak clock and memory bandwidth, its lower GPU score and FPS results mean the RTX 4080 SUPER is the undisputed pick for maximum performance.

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
