Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The Radeon RX 9080 edges ahead on the Mars Score (69.7 vs 75.1), but the 5.4-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.

Pick the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER if you care most about cuda / stream cores and dlss. The biggest gaps in its favor are cuda / stream cores, dlss.

Pick the Radeon RX 9080 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are ray tracing cores, tdp, vram, among others.

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

Bottom line: the Radeon RX 9080 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
