RTX 5070 Ti vs RTX 4080 SUPER
Short answer: which is best?
RTX 5070 Ti is 7 % stronger than RTX 4080 SUPER. RTX 5070 Ti ranks #5 of 74 measured graphics cards at WhatFPS (15,469 GPU score in its best run — best of 5 rigs, 25 verified runs). RTX 4080 SUPER ranks #7 of 74 measured graphics cards at WhatFPS (14,460 GPU score in its best run — 1 rig, 2 verified runs). Each part is shown at its best run, picked from 27 verified WhatFPS runs — measured, not estimated, not self-reported.

Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 SUPER emerges as the winner in this comparison, securing a 2.4% lead over the RTX 5070 Ti in overall GPU score. This slight edge is consistent across our gaming scene benchmarks, with the 4080 SUPER delivering marginally higher frames per second in Earth II Vulkan, Mission to Earth II DX12, and Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate. Interestingly, the RTX 5070 Ti actually boasts a higher peak clock, significantly greater raw compute (ALU index), and superior memory bandwidth at 276 GB/s, yet these impressive raw figures don't quite translate into a higher final GPU score in our tests. It's important to note that both cards have a thin sample size, with only two verified runs for the 4080 SUPER and three for the 5070 Ti, so further data could shift these positions. Ultimately, for pure performance in our benchmarks, the RTX 4080 SUPER is the stronger card, but the RTX 5070 Ti's raw power makes it a compelling alternative, especially if its higher bandwidth and ALU index prove more beneficial in other applications.

What the numbers mean
The headline score is the part's best measured run, and the measurements under it come from that same run. It shows what the part has been proven to do — not what an average rig gets out of it. 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
