@@Timmeh_The_tyrant It was in the US at least, if you managed to get it on the first day. What I said was going to happen (that a lot of people shot down) did end up happening though. Most of the early stock was gobbled up, and instead of it lowering the prices of the non Super, it just raised the cost of the Super to be the same. It's basically the same card anyway though.
Thanks for the short resume at the start, just wanted to know if the 4080s was worth it and you're a real one for not wasting ppls time. Much love to you ❤️
For sure. Nvidia has those yields building up but they don't want to give us too good of a producy quickly because they want to keep selling $2k 4090s. Maybe we will see the 80ti and 90ti at the same time. Have you seen how the 4070 ti super was not as performant as ppl thought going from 192bit to 256bit? This is due to the large cache of course and what I would say is a 4080 ti 16gb would still be able to achieve +20% performance over the 4080 super because the bus width has far less of an impact on performance as with previous gens. I wouldn't be surprised with a 4080ti still has 16gb to enable that glorious planned obsolescence so Nvidia can sell those same people a 5080 with more VRAM.
@@christophermullins7163 There are at least rumors for a 4090 Ti and/or Super and even a Ada Titan out there right now. But still NOTHING about a 4080 Ti.
NVIDIA doesn’t have a 320 bit bus for ADA GPUs right now so it’s either 24gb or 16gb and you know they won’t step on the RTX 4090 toes so 20gb is out of the question
@@christophermullins7163 The PS5 pro is rumored to have 16gb, just like the base one , and launch in about a year. Since most games are multiplatform, and PS5 pro might last 2 years, 16 gb should be ok for 3 years but not more. But if you want to enable ray tracing at high quality, you might have the horsepower but the extra detail might need 20 gb at 1440p.
Nvidia's price and products makes no sense whatsoever. Why didn't they just drop the price of the 4080 and call that it. The 4080 Super is a product that need not exist.
I think in the current stack the highest I would go for GPU for price to sense would be the 7800XT at $450-500. That's plenty of 1440p and I don't have a high refresh 4K monitor to make spending all that GPU money actually worthwhile. 4070 at around the same price is also like, not the worst thing ever. Everything else sucks above, and MOST of the options below also suck, especially from the current AMD and Nvidia offerings. Last gen on AMD was incredible bang for buck
@@GewelReal I got a like new 6950xt recently for $420. That is plenty of you're playing competitive games but obviously a tradeoff with the dlss and RT. I get 200+ fps at 2880p in games I usually play so my 5600x is the weakest length now by a long shot.
This reminds me a lot about the performance difference between then 3080 10GB and 3080 12GB! Except there, Nvidia didn't have the nerve to call it a "Super" 😂
@@danielowentech You''re doing God's work with these comparisons. Seeing everything, I'm holding strong until the 6090. Initially, I was thinking of bulding a desktop system back in 2022. However, seeing the prices(especially here in EU) I just searched for the best deal on a high performance laptop as for my line of work it's already more than enough performance. I still wanted it to run some Unreal Engine and rendering as a beginner hobby and the 3080ti laptop model does all that. I will probably do the same when the 5000 series will come out and buy a 5090 laptop. I feel like by the time the 6090 comes out, I will definetly get the performance boost I am expecting from a high end desktop system and probably ride that until the ground. Unless who knows what kind of local AI model may emerge and it will make sense to actually upgrade your home system.

@@QuentinStephens Yeah, normally I do not buy such expensive hardware. But I put money aside every year, and due to covid was not really able/willing to upgrade my GTX 1080. Now I will keep this RTX 4090 for a long time (I got on a 1440P OLED). It's all about cost/year for me.

If memory serves you are a maths teacher. When calculating the performance increases between models I've always taken the concomitant price increases to be non-linear - that is, the higher the model the higher the uplift. You might find it interesting to fit curves over each range and see how those curves change over different GPU series.
@@GeneralS1mba Looking at launch prices, you're quite near! If you take the 4070 as base point, the 4060 is about half, the 4080 was about double, and the 4090 about triple. If you take the 3070 as a base point, the 3060 was about 2/3, the 3080 about 4/3, and the 3090 about triple. If you take the 2070 as a base point, the 2060 was about 2/3, the 2080 4/3 and the 2080 Ti about double. (The RTX Titan appeared very late and was 5x.) But Daniel is a far better mathematician than me so he might produce some very interesting results.

I’ve been deciding if I’m going to go 4080 Super or just pay the price and get a 4090 Super but I’m going to be playing at 1440p so I think I’m gonna go with the 4080 and save some money. (Like $800)
@@Tyler-7894090 is obviously the best of the best but the 4080 super is an amazing card too, and at nearly half the price. At 1440p you'd probably end up bottlenecking the 4090 in some games, so just go with the 4080 s and get a nice 1440p monitor with the money you save imo.
NVIDIA tricked us into thinking the 4080 Super would actually be a new product. It practically isn't. And the worst part is: Normal 4080's are basically priced the same on the markets right now, if not even cheaper. So the basic advice is: Buy whichever is cheaper right now, there is basically no difference.
@@Kadeda People who bought that card most likely didn't have a 6800xt before that and were upgrading from older cards. And then it was actually good value.
Love my 4080 super, play every single game in 4k max settings DLSS at 100-120 fps, could never go back to 1080p. And DLSS is amazing makes Vram usage go from 13gbs down to 4-5 gbs in some game. That means it will take awhile before they are hitting 16 gbs with DLSS enabled.
Just did the FSR frame gen mod on some games yesterday for my 3080 ti. Works way better than I expected. Hopefully I'll be good until the 6000 series releases now.
I tried on my bro's 7900 XTX, modding it in is definitely worse, but not always awful experience. If it works for you glad. Hope you cards lasts awhile. :)
Well we can oc the 4090 as well, and the difference goes upto 40% with raytracing. I am not defending the current price of the 4090 though. Also I don't think you are gonna get a double digit uplift just by overclocking the 4080 super.
@@DKTronics70 in USA with 8 hrs of gaming a week.. the difference of 100watts is around $1 a month.. devastatingly high costs to run a powerful GPU, huh?

And its the only upgrade worth while atm, and i would need a 4k screen with it. Another 800 i dont have lol
Exactly. Maybe a 80ti and 90ti will come out at the same time. Something to understand about a potential 4080ti is that ADA architecture(massive cache) is designed to get maximum performance with less vram bandwidth. Nvidia could easily release a cut down ad102 chip and only use 256bit bus for 16gb and still get a +20% over the 4080 super. I wouldn't put it past Nvidia to do this to enable that juicy planned obsolescence of a low vram flagship lol they would never lmao
The problem is a technical one Daniel, but I suspect you already know. The 4080 and 4080S are both on AD103 die. The 4090 is on AD102 die. They already maxed out the silicon on AD103, so there wasn't really more room for the 4080S to grow. Some gamers think nVidia should've moved 4080 Super to AD102, but that would've never happened. Mostly because the 4090 is a $2000 card and it's selling, why would nVidia want to cut down silicon and make a less expensive card when the more expensive one sells? And that's just part of the problem, all the professional cards are also cut from AD102. And all of them regardless of if they're cut down dies or not sell for even more than the 4090. The point I'm making is there is zero incentive for nVidia to sell a lower cost AD102 die product. They're already selling every AD102 card they make for $2000 or above. Gamers may hate that, but if they want a card with this die, then they're going to have to pay the price for it.
My 4080 super custom built PC arrives around the same time for me (Feb 8th). Its my first gaming PC, after being a lifelong console player since the nes generation. So im Super pumped! (No pun intended!)
4080 was already the second most powerful GPU. The gap between 4080 super and 4090 is so big to make you spend some extra hundreds of dollars on 4090 which much better priced compared to its performance. From the 50 series 5090 and 5080 will be for sure more powerful than 4080 super. It remains to be seen if the rest of the 50 series will be more powerful but don't expect good pricing at low and mid-end.
You didn't show the part picker for the 4080 Super at $1500 to $2000 to compare to the 4090 WHY? There was no price cut after they ran out of stock in the first hour at that price!
Looks like Nvidia knew the limitation here lies elsewhere (cache?) other than the number of cores so they didn't feel the need to enable the full GPU die. However, for marketing reasons, they did for the "super" version. Also we have reputable reports already stating that the 4080 Super FE uses a less advanced PCB compared to the original 4080 FE, with the Super variant featuring less power phases and cheaper components (in order to keep costs low and profits high despite the price cut), that would mean less OC margin / reliability. All things considered, if you happen to find a 70-100 bucks cheaper 4080 maybe it's a better pick than a 4080 Super.
The 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super look to be cache bottlenecked, yeah. Also, both cards have no change to TDP (even though the 4070 Ti super even has 4 more gb of vram to power as well). So it makes sense that the OC potential could be somewhat greater. BUT... the RTX 4000 series, and RX 7900 series (as well as the 13k/14k and 7000X cpu's), are all bios-set to attempt a very aggressive overclock, all the time, out of the box. I undervolted a 7900X and 4090, and thermal-maxed both to 80C for paste longevity. And I'm still seeing 95% or more of their performance on both. The current-gen silicone is being pushed pretty hard into the redline on default settings. Harder than in the past anyway.
yep, today I tested a highly overclocked Asus TUF 4080 Super (curve set to 3105 MHz at 1075mV and +1500 VRAM) and got GPU Score of 31212 in TimeSpy, then I set a Suprim-X 4080 "original" to a lazy +165 core and +1300 VRAM and got a tad better result of 31492, even if it's within margin of error... where's the hardware advantage of the 4080 Super? is it the better PCB keeping clocks higher and more consistently on the original 4080?@@kathrynck
@kathrynck 4070ti super sure, 4080 super i doubt it. Remember the 4090 has 60% more cores but only 12% more cache altho I think that card is cache limited too lol.
@@Frozoken That's a good point. Actually I was thinking about what I posted and second guessing myself after the fact. 80super has 5.26% more cuda, tmu's, and rt cores... while the things which didn't change are cache, vram, vram bandwidth, and power. Meanwhile the 4090 (arguably 28-45% greater perfomance) has 60% more cuda, tmu's and rt cores. 50% more vram, 40% more ram bandwidth, and 60% more power. But only 12% more L2 cache. So yeah, if there was a 'hard' chokepoint on the L2, that _should_ really be crippling the 4090, and it's not. It could be that the 4090 is scaling with 2 factors, like the 12% L2 and a couple 60% items, and averaging out to +36% perf. But the stat which most obviously matches is vram bandwidth. I dunno. L2 could be holding all the cards back "some". but it could be vram & ram bandwidth holding the 80Sup back. Or power. I don't think it's power though. My 4090 "likes" an undervolt, and gained performance from undervolting (less thermal throttle). I gained about 5% bench over stock (TUF OC) with a fairly robust undervolt (it could pull up to 600w peak out of the box). Though I lost the gain and ended up slightly negative by thermal capping to 80C for "piece of mind" & "long term finances" hehe. A lot of these 4080 cards (non FE) have a 4090 cooler on them (a massive brick). So I don't think there's any heat dissipation limit either. The choke point has to be in the Vram amount, Vram bandwidth, or the L2 cache (or some combination thereof). It may seem like a lot of fuss over a few percent, but if you're expecting 5.26% uplift, and you get like 1.5% uplift (consistently, across different cards, makers, and test benches)... that's less than 1/3 of the expectation, and points to a major bottleneck, which may be limiting the regular 4080's (or the whole 4000 lineup) much more than a few percent. A small discrepancy which points to a possible much larger issue. I suppose there could be something dumb in drivers too (beyond MSI's problem I mean).
Daniel what do you think a 4090 TI and 4080 TI on the horizon before the 5000 series? Both could be based on the 4090 Chip as further cut down version that the 4090 is and a 4090 TI as a fully unlocked chip
It isn´t the fully unlocked chip. It will have 72 MB L2 cache as the 4090. The fully unlocked chip is the a A100 with 96 MB L2 Cache on a hopper pcb, which costs thousands. I think the 4090 is the best value card of the ada lovelace architecture.And this will be, till the next architecture is released.
It's really sad that the 4080 didn't launch at $1000 or even better $900. It would have been THE card to get and would have sold like mad. With the far smaller die size and only an extra 6gb of GDDR6x there's no way it costs significantly more to make than the $700 3080. It was just priced as stupidly as the 3090ti and now it's too little too late. The only thing it accomplishes is a moral victory in making the XTX look absolutely brainless. I feel bad for anyone that bought that flop of a GPU to still have to avoid RT games with a $1000 "flagship". It's not 2018 anymore and anyone that says RT doesn't matter is full of AMD fanboy copium.
How come your collumns with the stats are different for the 4080 as opposed to the other two? I didn't know you could switch columns. I've never used that software because it was hard to configure and I got irritated so I'm using that Geforce Experience thing. What were we talking about?
NVIDIA Does it again... based on other super gpus I expected 15% faster for 200$ less I was ready to believe and buy the gpu... Should have known better :( It just moved from a gpu that was overpriced by 400$ to a gpu that is overpriced by 200$... amazing value
You shouldn't have expected that lol, just see the difference between the specs of the 4070 vs 4070 super and 4080 vs 4080 super. And from that you can could have deduced the 4080 super uplift vs the 4080 since the 4070 super has a +15-20% lead over the 4070.

Idk if I’m going to spend 1000$ on a gpu , I shouldn’t be using upscaling 1440p just to ray trace in some games , the finals runs fantastic and it’s unreal 5 .
Why are you saying that you're paying 60% more for the 4090? Hasn't the price been like $2000 these past few months? That makes it 100% more expensive than the 4080 Super for only 30-35% performance uplift, which is insane.
I would love to see a benchmark comparison on the higher end GPUs on a widescreen (21x9 or more) monitor - I have to believe that the FPS stats would be different and that widescreens require more resources! Thanks for the really straight forward and down to earth information!
it depends on the resolution. 3440x1440 requires way less work than 3840x2160, but more than 2560x1440. 4k / 5k widescreens even more taxing than 4k 2160. 4k is like 4x 1080p in terms of pixels, 4x the work, you'll often see 1/4th the fps in 4k compared to 1080p for a given GPU / graphics settings setup. other factors like memory, vram, and cpu limits will shift that around, but roughly it tends to work out that way in my experience.
I upgraded from my Asus 3080 Tuf gaming to my Asus 4080 Super Pro Art series. I won't be buying any more graphic cards for several years. I'm happy where I'm at. 😊
Random thought, gimped memory bus limits the maximum utilisation of the cuda cores so despite the S variant having more they can't be utilised this meaning the performance is around the same?
I am a gamer that got a 4090 in May. I am also a retired software engineer, and what the 4090 does really well and at a very good price is run open source LLMs (AI). The 4090 was supposedly yanked because of bans put on countries, but production was also discontinued. And we have to ask why discontinued? I think it was an intentional move to hobble the open source AI movement to make sure the tech remains in the hands of a few corporations, and does not become the next PGP or LINUX. A popular size for open source LLMs is 13B parameters which just does not fit in 16Gb of VRAM forcing those experimenting with the tech to settle for 7B models. AI is going to mean massive dislocation in the job market and a further widening of the wealth gap ... it is only going to be worse if big tech kills off the open source AI movement. That's what is dying with discontinuing the 4090; not just 4K video, but AI being open source and directed by the public for the public benefit.
A well though out take; never underestimate corporate greed at the expense of the average person. If it was just entertainment products gouge to your hearts content but you touch on where the real money will be and where the harm is.
Was curious, for your cyberpunk 2077 1080p ray tracing OD, there might be something wrong on your end, on my 3080ti w the preset I’m getting 76 avg fps. I was thinking about upgrading because I play 1080p with 240hz, and I want a smooth experience with the amazing story (all my other games my fps is fine) do you think with a 4080 super id get 200+ frames with frame gen, medium, and dlss?
Keep in mind that the 4080 super is 5nm not 4nm and has a few more cuda cores. so there are some differences.. I assume they are saving the money due to using the older node.
Also, It's been found out that the PCB in the 4080 Super is lower quality compared to the original 4080 FE, less power phases and cheaper components (makes sense, they cut prices but want to keep profits up) so a 4080 FE would be technically more reliable when it comes to overclocking with the two of them having the same TDP.

"Part" of the blame does go to Nvidia, a bit less to AMD. There's greed there yeah. But frankly a huge part of the pricing is based on inflation. We have 1970's level inflation... for several years. It really changes things. And it _will_ turn you into an old person who says "Back in my day, a bigmac cost $2". But really it's more to do with the federal reserve, and washington fiscal policy, than McDonalds. Nvidia's pricing/performance stack is pretty sketchy though, yeah.
@@kathrynck Well... since the uplift we see on the 4080 versus the 3080 would make 4080 the 3080 successor, you can take the 3080 launch price and inflate it to today.

Although I had to research my local GPU prices, this video sheds some light on the two variants' differences (or lack thereof). Luckily for me, the regular 4080 does get a price cut with the super now occupying its original price range.
Whats the OC potential of the 4080's? 4090's have huge OC potential which adds 10% performance without breaking a sweat. I can do round 220-250mhz core + 1500mhz on mem easy (even in RT heavy games like CP2077 max settings and avatar) which adds at least 10%+ performance in fps across most games. The 4090 Is a 1440p card if you want to play max settings @ 144hz/fps+
4080 Fe has decent Mem OC but bench testing shows the 4080 FE gains zero performance in the minimal core OC that can be done. I didn't pay attention to 4090 gains on core OC as I just have the 4080. but you might want to look into that as, core OC without gains is kind of pointless
This bro straight up moves his own picture around pointing. That is so incredibly effective and I've never seen that before and it has me laughing so hard.
Pricing in Australia is based on performance you pay more if the card is faster. So all that happened is the super replaced the normal model at the same price. Because there performance is basically identical.
I dont want to nickpick but you should set the cores and memory clocks to the exact same and lock it in. (Also highest frequencys of each card while locked to 1.075v since most people set their v/f this way) Either set same fan curve or use auto.
Btw, isn't the bigger point about the 4080 Super the price drop anyway? I mean sure, it is not really "super" but the most important factor these days are price drops right?
makes you wonder had nvidia NOT given the 4080 super the extra cuda cores (so a different SKU off the production line) could the 4080 super had been cut down in price even further, would be interesting to know how the 5% cua increase effected pricing
It has 5% more of everything except: power and cache. Based on undervolting a 4090, and the benching from that, I don't think the issue is power. Looks like it's gimped on cache.

I ended up buying a new Gigabyte 4080 Eagle (non OC) for $959 at Best Buy right before the 4080 Super launch. Glad I didn't wait for the launch 4080 Super since the tests I have seen does not make a relevant difference.
No gigabyte for me for the 4080 especially eagle. They don’t use ball bearings and it’s just the cheaper fans with the graphene nano lubricant I give it 2 years tops until it wears out and you’d need to rma the fans.
no shit!?!?!?!?!? its not like its a quite alot more powerful gpu bruv...... pounds out 20-30+ fps more in all games than a 4080 super and consumes what? 80-100w more? thats literally nothing for the performance difference there is and its on par with the powerdraw of a regular 3090. so a pretty irrelevant thing to point out.
Its insane how far ahead the 4090 still is. On launch there was no 4080 for weeks (was released later). Then 4080 came and was super disappointing because its was nowhere close to the 4090. And now a year later... the 4080 super is still making ZERO progress. 4090 is still 20-40% ahead of everything else. Insane! At that current rate of progress ... the 4090 might be on par with the 5080 when it comes out in 1-2 years. Thats how bonkers that card is. And if you limit the 4090 to 70-80% power its still faster then 4080 super and because of its oversized cooler - is almost silent.
Funny thing ... in majority countries ... 4080 SUPER actually didn't get ANY price cut :D

And yes, there NEEDS to be a 4080 Ti. With 20 GB please. To finally bridge that gap between the 80 cards and the 4090. With AD102 chip of course.
For sure. Nvidia has those yields building up but they don't want to give us too good of a producy quickly because they want to keep selling $2k 4090s. Maybe we will see the 80ti and 90ti at the same time.
Have you seen how the 4070 ti super was not as performant as ppl thought going from 192bit to 256bit? This is due to the large cache of course and what I would say is a 4080 ti 16gb would still be able to achieve +20% performance over the 4080 super because the bus width has far less of an impact on performance as with previous gens. I wouldn't be surprised with a 4080ti still has 16gb to enable that glorious planned obsolescence so Nvidia can sell those same people a 5080 with more VRAM.

NVIDIA doesn’t have a 320 bit bus for ADA GPUs right now so it’s either 24gb or 16gb and you know they won’t step on the RTX 4090 toes so 20gb is out of the question
@@christophermullins7163 The PS5 pro is rumored to have 16gb, just like the base one , and launch in about a year.

I still wanted it to run some Unreal Engine and rendering as a beginner hobby and the 3080ti laptop model does all that. I will probably do the same when the 5000 series will come out and buy a 5090 laptop.

Exactly. Maybe a 80ti and 90ti will come out at the same time. Something to understand about a potential 4080ti is that ADA architecture(massive cache) is designed to get maximum performance with less vram bandwidth. Nvidia could easily release a cut down ad102 chip and only use 256bit bus for 16gb and still get a +20% over the 4080 super. I wouldn't put it past Nvidia to do this to enable that juicy planned obsolescence of a low vram flagship lol they would never lmao
What software do you use to show the temps, percentage usage, clock speeds, etc?
The problem is a technical one Daniel, but I suspect you already know.
The 4080 and 4080S are both on AD103 die.
The 4090 is on AD102 die.
They already maxed out the silicon on AD103, so there wasn't really more room for the 4080S to grow.
Some gamers think nVidia should've moved 4080 Super to AD102, but that would've never happened. Mostly because the 4090 is a $2000 card and it's selling, why would nVidia want to cut down silicon and make a less expensive card when the more expensive one sells?
And that's just part of the problem, all the professional cards are also cut from AD102. And all of them regardless of if they're cut down dies or not sell for even more than the 4090.
The point I'm making is there is zero incentive for nVidia to sell a lower cost AD102 die product. They're already selling every AD102 card they make for $2000 or above. Gamers may hate that, but if they want a card with this die, then they're going to have to pay the price for it.

4080 was already the second most powerful GPU. The gap between 4080 super and 4090 is so big to make you spend some extra hundreds of dollars on 4090 which much better priced compared to its performance.
From the 50 series 5090 and 5080 will be for sure more powerful than 4080 super. It remains to be seen if the rest of the 50 series will be more powerful but don't expect good pricing at low and mid-end.
You didn't show the part picker for the 4080 Super at $1500 to $2000 to compare to the 4090 WHY? There was no price cut after they ran out of stock in the first hour at that price!
Looks like Nvidia knew the limitation here lies elsewhere (cache?) other than the number of cores so they didn't feel the need to enable the full GPU die. However, for marketing reasons, they did for the "super" version. Also we have reputable reports already stating that the 4080 Super FE uses a less advanced PCB compared to the original 4080 FE, with the Super variant featuring less power phases and cheaper components (in order to keep costs low and profits high despite the price cut), that would mean less OC margin / reliability. All things considered, if you happen to find a 70-100 bucks cheaper 4080 maybe it's a better pick than a 4080 Super.
nerd
The 4070 Ti Super and 4080 Super look to be cache bottlenecked, yeah.
Also, both cards have no change to TDP (even though the 4070 Ti super even has 4 more gb of vram to power as well).
So it makes sense that the OC potential could be somewhat greater.
BUT... the RTX 4000 series, and RX 7900 series (as well as the 13k/14k and 7000X cpu's), are all bios-set to attempt a very aggressive overclock, all the time, out of the box. I undervolted a 7900X and 4090, and thermal-maxed both to 80C for paste longevity. And I'm still seeing 95% or more of their performance on both. The current-gen silicone is being pushed pretty hard into the redline on default settings. Harder than in the past anyway.
yep, today I tested a highly overclocked Asus TUF 4080 Super (curve set to 3105 MHz at 1075mV and +1500 VRAM) and got GPU Score of 31212 in TimeSpy, then I set a Suprim-X 4080 "original" to a lazy +165 core and +1300 VRAM and got a tad better result of 31492, even if it's within margin of error... where's the hardware advantage of the 4080 Super? is it the better PCB keeping clocks higher and more consistently on the original 4080?@@kathrynck
@kathrynck 4070ti super sure, 4080 super i doubt it. Remember the 4090 has 60% more cores but only 12% more cache altho I think that card is cache limited too lol.
@@Frozoken That's a good point. Actually I was thinking about what I posted and second guessing myself after the fact.
80super has 5.26% more cuda, tmu's, and rt cores... while the things which didn't change are cache, vram, vram bandwidth, and power.
Meanwhile the 4090 (arguably 28-45% greater perfomance) has 60% more cuda, tmu's and rt cores. 50% more vram, 40% more ram bandwidth, and 60% more power. But only 12% more L2 cache. So yeah, if there was a 'hard' chokepoint on the L2, that _should_ really be crippling the 4090, and it's not.
It could be that the 4090 is scaling with 2 factors, like the 12% L2 and a couple 60% items, and averaging out to +36% perf. But the stat which most obviously matches is vram bandwidth.
I dunno. L2 could be holding all the cards back "some". but it could be vram & ram bandwidth holding the 80Sup back. Or power.
I don't think it's power though. My 4090 "likes" an undervolt, and gained performance from undervolting (less thermal throttle). I gained about 5% bench over stock (TUF OC) with a fairly robust undervolt (it could pull up to 600w peak out of the box). Though I lost the gain and ended up slightly negative by thermal capping to 80C for "piece of mind" & "long term finances" hehe.
A lot of these 4080 cards (non FE) have a 4090 cooler on them (a massive brick). So I don't think there's any heat dissipation limit either.
The choke point has to be in the Vram amount, Vram bandwidth, or the L2 cache (or some combination thereof).
It may seem like a lot of fuss over a few percent, but if you're expecting 5.26% uplift, and you get like 1.5% uplift (consistently, across different cards, makers, and test benches)... that's less than 1/3 of the expectation, and points to a major bottleneck, which may be limiting the regular 4080's (or the whole 4000 lineup) much more than a few percent. A small discrepancy which points to a possible much larger issue.
I suppose there could be something dumb in drivers too (beyond MSI's problem I mean).
Daniel what do you think a 4090 TI and 4080 TI on the horizon before the 5000 series? Both could be based on the 4090 Chip as further cut down version that the 4090 is and a 4090 TI as a fully unlocked chip
It isn´t the fully unlocked chip. It will have 72 MB L2 cache as the 4090. The fully unlocked chip is the a A100 with 96 MB L2 Cache on a hopper pcb, which costs thousands. I think the 4090 is the best value card of the ada lovelace architecture.And this will be, till the next architecture is released.
I want to get the 4090 but price to performance when compared with 4080 super it a hard pill to swallow.
Same.
I was wondering if it was worth jumping from a 4070ti to a 4090?
I did and its been a great upgrade. with the 4070Ti id struggle in 4K with more modern titles. Now I dont ever have to worry about it.
It's really sad that the 4080 didn't launch at $1000 or even better $900. It would have been THE card to get and would have sold like mad. With the far smaller die size and only an extra 6gb of GDDR6x there's no way it costs significantly more to make than the $700 3080. It was just priced as stupidly as the 3090ti and now it's too little too late. The only thing it accomplishes is a moral victory in making the XTX look absolutely brainless. I feel bad for anyone that bought that flop of a GPU to still have to avoid RT games with a $1000 "flagship".
It's not 2018 anymore and anyone that says RT doesn't matter is full of AMD fanboy copium.
How come your collumns with the stats are different for the 4080 as opposed to the other two? I didn't know you could switch columns. I've never used that software because it was hard to configure and I got irritated so I'm using that Geforce Experience thing. What were we talking about?
NVIDIA Does it again... based on other super gpus I expected 15% faster for 200$ less I was ready to believe and buy the gpu... Should have known better :(
It just moved from a gpu that was overpriced by 400$ to a gpu that is overpriced by 200$... amazing value
You shouldn't have expected that lol, just see the difference between the specs of the 4070 vs 4070 super and 4080 vs 4080 super. And from that you can could have deduced the 4080 super uplift vs the 4080 since the 4070 super has a +15-20% lead over the 4070.
Why would you expect the second fastest GPU on the market to get faster? Hell it’s amazing is got a $200 price drop.

Why are you saying that you're paying 60% more for the 4090? Hasn't the price been like $2000 these past few months? That makes it 100% more expensive than the 4080 Super for only 30-35% performance uplift, which is insane.
At that point I'm discussing MSRP. Later I mentioned that current 4090 pricing is closer to double.
I bought one last month below list. And so can you if you don’t mind spending an hour.
How do you get the frame time graph to look like that? Mine it just show the number.
Coming from a EVGA 3080 TI to a 4080 Super FE, I’m happy with it :) I love the all blacked out design too.
Hey what provram does he use to moniter gpu usage temp amd fps while gaming?
I would love to see a benchmark comparison on the higher end GPUs on a widescreen (21x9 or more) monitor - I have to believe that the FPS stats would be different and that widescreens require more resources! Thanks for the really straight forward and down to earth information!
it depends on the resolution. 3440x1440 requires way less work than 3840x2160, but more than 2560x1440. 4k / 5k widescreens even more taxing than 4k 2160. 4k is like 4x 1080p in terms of pixels, 4x the work, you'll often see 1/4th the fps in 4k compared to 1080p for a given GPU / graphics settings setup. other factors like memory, vram, and cpu limits will shift that around, but roughly it tends to work out that way in my experience.
What processor is being used?
I upgraded from my Asus 3080 Tuf gaming to my Asus 4080 Super Pro Art series. I won't be buying any more graphic cards for several years. I'm happy where I'm at. 😊
Random thought, gimped memory bus limits the maximum utilisation of the cuda cores so despite the S variant having more they can't be utilised this meaning the performance is around the same?
I am a gamer that got a 4090 in May. I am also a retired software engineer, and what the 4090 does really well and at a very good price is run open source LLMs (AI). The 4090 was supposedly yanked because of bans put on countries, but production was also discontinued. And we have to ask why discontinued? I think it was an intentional move to hobble the open source AI movement to make sure the tech remains in the hands of a few corporations, and does not become the next PGP or LINUX. A popular size for open source LLMs is 13B parameters which just does not fit in 16Gb of VRAM forcing those experimenting with the tech to settle for 7B models. AI is going to mean massive dislocation in the job market and a further widening of the wealth gap ... it is only going to be worse if big tech kills off the open source AI movement. That's what is dying with discontinuing the 4090; not just 4K video, but AI being open source and directed by the public for the public benefit.
You are 100% right
A well though out take; never underestimate corporate greed at the expense of the average person. If it was just entertainment products gouge to your hearts content but you touch on where the real money will be and where the harm is.
Was curious, for your cyberpunk 2077 1080p ray tracing OD, there might be something wrong on your end, on my 3080ti w the preset I’m getting 76 avg fps. I was thinking about upgrading because I play 1080p with 240hz, and I want a smooth experience with the amazing story (all my other games my fps is fine) do you think with a 4080 super id get 200+ frames with frame gen, medium, and dlss?
No
You didn’t turn path tracing on. The fault is definitely not on Daniel’s end.
@@JeremiahBostwick ? The preset turns on the exact same thing as him
@@Mikerille Which preset? Pathtracing with ray reconstruction is not RT Overdrive.
no , go to 4090 , saying this , as a owner of 4090 with a i9 13900k, 32 gb 7200 mhz , or wait untiçl 50 rtx series .
Thanks for the video! Could you please make on comparing the 4080 (super) with the 4070ti super?
when you are pushing above 140 ish fps , what difference does a lead in fps make at all ?
Keep in mind that the 4080 super is 5nm not 4nm and has a few more cuda cores. so there are some differences.. I assume they are saving the money due to using the older node.
Those additional differences are only on paper. In practice they mean nothing.^^
@@Hexenkind1 - i was addressing the price not the performance.. and they DO impact the cost of the node process and nvidia’s margin on the cards
@@cjadams7434 Well as a consumer that doen't concern me. I am only interested in value for money.
Also, It's been found out that the PCB in the 4080 Super is lower quality compared to the original 4080 FE, less power phases and cheaper components (makes sense, they cut prices but want to keep profits up) so a 4080 FE would be technically more reliable when it comes to overclocking with the two of them having the same TDP.
@@DavidAlfredoGuisado Would be nice to know, my 4080 does 3100mhz core ... so if the new ones don't oc that well, then the og 4080 is faster if you push it.
finding it hard to believe people are paying 2000 dollars or so, to achieve 70 fps in a video game, no matter resolution or anything..... its utterly insane!
If you can afford it then why not have the best possible gaming experience available?
Nice video. Wish these were all priced reasonably. Maybe next gen.
nope
"Part" of the blame does go to Nvidia, a bit less to AMD. There's greed there yeah. But frankly a huge part of the pricing is based on inflation. We have 1970's level inflation... for several years. It really changes things. And it _will_ turn you into an old person who says "Back in my day, a bigmac cost $2". But really it's more to do with the federal reserve, and washington fiscal policy, than McDonalds.
Nvidia's pricing/performance stack is pretty sketchy though, yeah.
@@kathrynck Well... since the uplift we see on the 4080 versus the 3080 would make 4080 the 3080 successor, you can take the 3080 launch price and inflate it to today. RTX3080 MSRP was $699 in September 2020 (12GB Version was &799). Using inflation calculators to project that to 2024 (~17%) and add a little just because reasons... and the price of the 4080 actually belongs at $850 MSRP today. At most $900. This is not a case of "back in my day" LOL. Rip off city pure and simple economics. Ripoffvidia realized suckers would pay this kind of pricing when the crypto boom and scalping (which they assisted with) happened, they got used to a certain level of growth and guess what.... can't allow any retraction right! so pay up biches!
omg, it's another inflation professor. @@kathrynck
@@ChrisZukowski88 If you find "anything else" where you can compare 2020 price to 2024 price vs value at 1 to 1... lemme know.
What I notice is, that with the 4080 super the image seems to be tearing. Is this still a problem with todays graphics cards?
Not mines, I run it with a 4K curve monitor and not a single tear
Great comparison thanks! Looking forward to getting my 4080S delivered tomorrow :)
But why? Some normal 4080's are cheaper right now and are the same in power.
@@Hexenkind1 nvidia needs reasons like this idiot to keep prices high. "but you all are still buying them"
@Hexenkind1 cause he's an idiot. You don't need to ask such questions for obvious answers.
Nice!
remember when PC gaming was a better value than consoles. Me neither.
Here in EU/Austria its the same price... Both 4080 starts at 1050-1100 eur lol. 4080: 2760MHz vs 4080S: 2730MHz. lol super joke from nvidia

damn some games use 13-14gb vram, cant even play vr with a 4080...
And don't forget modding, modding is a VRAM killer. I use 23.8 gigs for Skyrim, 20+ for GTA and 15+ for Fallout 4... Modding games with high-res textures really uses up your vram; it's crazy...

What’s the best monitor resolution for a 4080 super
1440p for competitive gaming I’d say, but if you play mostly first person games, in my experience, it’s a very good card for 4k, just don’t expect 120+ refresh rates
The silicon quality that affects the automatic boost frequency of each core, can make more difference when GPU specs are so close.
Hello,
Can I use a 4080 to run 3 32” monitors on my racing simulator at 1440 p/165 hz?
Will I still get excellent graphics?

Straight to the point video. Good stuff.
4090 runs about 30% better yet is pretty much costing double that of a 4080S... Great logic nvidia. All for 20fps
Shows different 1% lows, but the screen shows a scene in the benchmark run....?
Although I had to research my local GPU prices, this video sheds some light on the two variants' differences (or lack thereof). Luckily for me, the regular 4080 does get a price cut with the super now occupying its original price range.
Whats the OC potential of the 4080's? 4090's have huge OC potential which adds 10% performance without breaking a sweat. I can do round 220-250mhz core + 1500mhz on mem easy (even in RT heavy games like CP2077 max settings and avatar) which adds at least 10%+ performance in fps across most games.
The 4090 Is a 1440p card if you want to play max settings @ 144hz/fps+
4080 Fe has decent Mem OC but bench testing shows the 4080 FE gains zero performance in the minimal core OC that can be done. I didn't pay attention to 4090 gains on core OC as I just have the 4080. but you might want to look into that as, core OC without gains is kind of pointless
This bro straight up moves his own picture around pointing. That is so incredibly effective and I've never seen that before and it has me laughing so hard.
Love you video bros, i have question how about 1440p at 21:9 ratio, considering for the new monster hunter game, 4080s versus 4090, thoughts?
It's ideal I use that resolution
If you want to play in 4k with max details 4090. All resolutions below 4k 4080super or less.
The 7800X3D is limiting 4080?
nah 7800x3d doesn't even limit 4090
how could the best gaming cpu limit a gpu?
@KDR107 At 1440p, theres still a lot of limitations on a 4090
@@MrTorch-p4z It most certainly does.
In some gams yes.
Pricing in Australia is based on performance you pay more if the card is faster. So all that happened is the super replaced the normal model at the same price. Because there performance is basically identical.
I'm really triggered by the fact that the GPU utilisation and the temps have their position swapped on each section...
I dont want to nickpick but you should set the cores and memory clocks to the exact same and lock it in. (Also highest frequencys of each card while locked to 1.075v since most people set their v/f this way) Either set same fan curve or use auto.
4090 cost about as much as a complete system with a 4080super in it. Let that sink in
Btw, isn't the bigger point about the 4080 Super the price drop anyway? I mean sure, it is not really "super" but the most important factor these days are price drops right?
Well IF the normal 4080's weren't basically at the same price right now and sometimes even cheaper then the super. But they are.
thats what he says multiple times lmao
the super is like 10% expensive than the 4080 in some countries
makes you wonder had nvidia NOT given the 4080 super the extra cuda cores (so a different SKU off the production line) could the 4080 super had been cut down in price even further, would be interesting to know how the 5% cua increase effected pricing
Same die.
Any chance of the 4070 Super vs 4080 in Portal with RTX ?!?
You shoulda added some ultra wide benchmarks. This whole video has got me curious about it.
Is the 4080 Super performance being locked down via software?
no it just sucks
It has 5% more of everything except: power and cache.
Based on undervolting a 4090, and the benching from that, I don't think the issue is power.
Looks like it's gimped on cache.
@@NeVErseeNMeLikEDis it doesn’t suck. It’s the second highest performance consumer gpu.

@@lifemocker85 If you can’t tell the difference between a product and a price you’re not very bright. Maybe that’s why you’re poor. Doesn’t Europe have education resources available to you? You should take advantage of them before you’re required to learn Russian.
You can suggest Nvidia release a cut-down version of AD102 as 4080 Ti which consists of 13312 cores, 20GB VRAM, 320-bit memory bus, and 400W TDP.
Every 102 is being used in 4090. What sense does it make to sell them for less money?
@@MrDs7777I don't know the yield of fabricating the AD102 die. If Nvidia has accumulated enough quantity of defective AD102 dies that don't have enough (16384) cores to be used as the 4090, then it is possible to make a cut-down version. I am not sure if the yield by TSMC has been too good and there has not been enough quantity of defective AD102 dies accumulated for production of a cut-down version.
I ended up buying a new Gigabyte 4080 Eagle (non OC) for $959 at Best Buy right before the 4080 Super launch. Glad I didn't wait for the launch 4080 Super since the tests I have seen does not make a relevant difference.
No gigabyte for me for the 4080 especially eagle. They don’t use ball bearings and it’s just the cheaper fans with the graphene nano lubricant I give it 2 years tops until it wears out and you’d need to rma the fans.
Never wait to buy tech, or else you are always waiting. Buy what you what when you want.

Thanks for the Reviews, Daniel! One thing of note also is that it seems the 4090 often, if not most of the time, is using 100 Watts more power.
no shit!?!?!?!?!? its not like its a quite alot more powerful gpu bruv...... pounds out 20-30+ fps more in all games than a 4080 super and consumes what? 80-100w more? thats literally nothing for the performance difference there is and its on par with the powerdraw of a regular 3090.
so a pretty irrelevant thing to point out.

I recently bought a Asus 4090 OC. I've noticed cpu bottlenecking with my 5950x compared to newer cpus with ddr5. Now I have an itch and a twitch.
This was really interesting comparison. Thank you for this video.
Its insane how far ahead the 4090 still is. On launch there was no 4080 for weeks (was released later). Then 4080 came and was super disappointing because its was nowhere close to the 4090. And now a year later... the 4080 super is still making ZERO progress. 4090 is still 20-40% ahead of everything else. Insane! At that current rate of progress ... the 4090 might be on par with the 5080 when it comes out in 1-2 years. Thats how bonkers that card is.
And if you limit the 4090 to 70-80% power its still faster then 4080 super and because of its oversized cooler - is almost silent.
It amazes me that my 4090 is cpu limited with an i9-1300k at 6ghz.
what I don't get "new to pc" is how come others are getting frames at 480 -540 if the latest tech can't push those fps wth! are these gamers using?
Does the 4080 super consume more power than the 4080 ?
I feel like the 4090 D for china was meant to be a proper 4080 super
