Between the Arc B580 and GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, the Arc B580 comes out ahead in tdp and boost clock, while the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER wins on cuda / stream cores and ray tracing cores. Overall, the Arc B580 scores 56.2 and the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scores 69.7 on our Mars Score.
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 Arc B580 if you care most about tdp and boost clock. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, boost clock.
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. Its strongest claims are cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, among others.
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.
