RTX 4080

RTX 4080 Specifications

The RTX 4080 is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and manufactured using the 5 nm process node. It was launched approximately 2 years, 7 months ago, originally priced at $1199. It features 9728 cores, including 76 compute units (SMs), 304 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 112 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 76 dedicated RT cores and 304 Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 2505 MHz. The RTX 4080 comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 256-bit bus. Memory runs at 1400 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 716 GB/s.

This GPU has a very high thermal design power (TDP) of 320 W. A PC case with excellent airflow and a high-quality, high-wattage power supply are essential for stable operation.

RTX 4080 Performance

RTX 4080 is a high-end graphics card, achieving a relative gaming performance score of 70.92% compared to the best available performance. It delivers excellent gaming experiences across all resolutions and maintains 60+ FPS at 4K in most modern titles when paired with a high-performance CPU. This GPU is designed for gamers seeking 150+ FPS at 1440p or smooth 4K gaming at 60+ FPS with ultra settings.

The gaming performance-per-price ratio of RTX 4080 is 23.9%, indicating lower value in this category. However, since this is a high-performance GPU, it remains a viable option for users who prioritize gaming performance and are less concerned about budget constraints.
