NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU Benchmarks Leak Show Similar Performance As 4080 Non-SUPER

The first benchmarks of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU have been leaked and they show similar performance as the 4080 Non-SUPER.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER & RTX 4080 GPUs Perform The Same In Leaked Benchmarks

While the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER & RTX 4070 Ti SUPER have delivered gains of 15% and 10%, respectively, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU may feature very similar performance as the already existing GeForce RTX 4080 Non-SUPER as seen in leaked benchmarks within Geekbench 5.

The leaked benchmarks were spotted by BenchLeaks within the Geekbench 5 database. The GB5 benchmark is based on synthetic tests and is quite old as it’s been replaced by the newer GB6 test suite and shouldn’t be representative of real-world gaming performance. However, the graphics performance of previous cards in the same benchmark was very close to the gaming performance.

Starting with the scores, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scored 309,554 points in the CUDA test, 264,806 points in the OpenCL test, and 100,378 points in the Vulkan test. The Vulkan test can be discarded since it is very low and we also saw a similar case with the 4070 Ti SUPER’s leaked test scores. Meanwhile, the other two scores, CUDA and OpenCL, seem to represent the actual graphics horsepower of this card and shows it on par with the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER.

Although the RTX 4080 SUPER has slightly more cores, even NVIDIA said that it would be 3% faster than the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER, and that too only at higher 4K resolutions while the differences will be minimal at sub-4K resolutions. The card does get a price drop to $999 US which makes it highly competitive against the RX 7900 XTX but besides that, most gamers shouldn’t expect much from the final SUPER variant.

In the Geekbench 6 OpenCL test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ends up with a 7% lead over the Non-SUPER variant but once again, these are synthetic workloads so gaming numbers will be a tad bit different.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU Specifications: Full AD103 Die With the World’s Fastest G6X

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER utilizes the AD103-400 GPU (PG139 SKU 355) with the full 10,240 cores, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, and 64 MB of L2 cache. These are 5% more cores than Non-SUPER RTX 4080s. The GPU will also be clocked slightly higher at a 2295 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost versus the 2205 MHz base and 2505 MHz boost of the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER variant.

The graphics card will use a 256-bit bus interface with 16 GB GDDR6X memory, the same as the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER but boosted to 23 Gbps, making it the fastest G6X solution in the world, offering up to 736 GB/s of bandwidth which is around a 3% boost over the Non-SUPER variant. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER will feature the same TGP as the RTX 4080 Non-SUPER at 320W. The card offers 52 Shader TFLOPs, 121 RT TFLOPs, and 836 AI TOPs while supporting all the latest NV encode technologies such as AV1 and H.264.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER will be available in both Founders Edition and custom models starting at $999 US on the 31st of January 2024.
