Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 13.5 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.

Pick the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, vram, among others.

Pick the Radeon RX 9060 if you care most about tdp and boost clock. Its strongest claims are tdp, boost clock.

There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.

Bottom line: the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
