ASUS - ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC vs NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER

The ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC edges ahead on the Mars Score (77.5 vs 69.7), but the 7.8-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC 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 3dmark time spy, cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, among others. The single most decisive one: 3DMark Time Spy — 51.16% more. 32500 vs 21500.

Pick the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER if you care most about tdp. Its strongest claims are tdp. The single most decisive one: TDP — 40.00 W less. 320 vs 360.

Both ship with comparable vram, memory bus, dlss, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: the ROG Astral RTX 5080 OC is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
