Buying advice

Which should you buy?

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER edges ahead on the Mars Score (69.7 vs 62.3), but the 7.4-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 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 GeForce RTX 5070 if you care most about tdp. Its strongest claims are tdp.

Both ship with comparable dlss, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

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.
